To give you more context on xG from pressing, we actually created more in only other game and that was vs Maribor back in 2017.

Bobby was a monster in this game - he was everywhere

Here are the pressing numbers:

- Bobby with very high volume
- Jota also with high volume but had the efficiency to match (along with Mo).
- Keita continues to be a pressing beast as he won possession 5 times
- Konate had 10 presses which is the 3rd highest for a defender under Klopp.

Easily the best game he's had for a while, including the hat-trick match. I've really missed this Bobby

 

I think this is yours


K bye

 

Since January 1st only Bruno Fernandes has scored more goals in domestic competitions at Old Trafford than Mohamed Salah.

 

Now take away penalties and I suspect Mo could be even closer if not higher than Bruno ...

 

TBF, Mo scores quite a few penalties too (just not at OT)

 

the highlights on BBC etc failed to give the credit to keita. his ability to read and nip in and intercept was fully on shot v utd.

 

The below chat shows the quality of shots taken vs the number of the shots taken.

As you can see, LFC and City are insane at creating a large number of quality chances each game.

Leicester's shot quality is very good but they're not taking enough shots. Chelsea are in the middle and could suggest that they're currently overperforming (remains to be seen if this is sustainable).

Then you have Norwich who don't create any good chances nor do they have enough shots.

in firaness if that's over just them prem this season we've only played two decent sides in city and chelsea.

the second one with arsenal top is interesting. kind of counter intuitive with arteta. when they are bad they are awful is what i take from that. 2 goals a game conceded when they concede.

 

It says "all competitions" in the title...

 

Mito doesn’t worry about titles, just like the great forward in prem thread where he talks about John Barnes and plenty more.

 

I replied to two of Jimmy's posts. The second one was titled prem only.

Apology accepted.

Plus John barnes was a great prem player. The end.

 

Missed Nat Phillips

 

Has natman played in the prem? Must have missed it.
