Review is out on @TheAnfieldWrap.bsky.social with @KnoxHarrington.bsky.social Dan & me Statsbomb ⬇️ Selection Liverpool starting games last 6: eye test & 1st half data last 6 Approaches Virgil & Konate Jota away from home No half time changes: time wasted? 2nd half subs & changes Salah
In the last 6 games we’ve been below average to poor in 4 of those first halves (could argue 5 depending on your view v EVE) centre backs in particular had a very poor week Those half time scores: PSG 0-0 (somehow!) Southampton 0-1 PSG 0-1 Newcastle 0-1 Everton 0-0 Fulham 1-3
Ryan Gravenberch was back to something more like his pre Christmas form for me (break done him good) Watching it back for Review reinforced this Passes the eyes & data test too ⬇️ StatsZone His movement & reading of the game in & out of possession was top class Huge influence 45-60

Review is out on @TheAnfieldWrap.bsky.social with @KnoxHarrington.bsky.social Dan & me Statsbomb ⬇️ 1) 24/25 v 23/24 2) Newcastle Selections Liverpool width Szoboszlai/Jota role in overloading wide areas Newcastle focus on Gravenberch Mac & Dom Salah Diaz Final Arsenal Next 6 league games
Review is out on @TheAnfieldWrap.bsky.social with Dan, me & @KnoxHarrington.bsky.social Statsbomb ⬇️ Liverpool & Arsenal’s approach to counter attacks ⬇️ Selections City shape Jones -Szoboszlai & Gonzalez - Lewis Doku & Savinho Liverpool’s right 265 pressures (Szoboszlai 53) Salah Newcastle
1st half Doku did a great Peter Beagrie impression Lots of pretty play no end product Hopefully no end product 2nd half!
Similar shape as against Villa.. Does Guardiola invert 1 or both full backs in possession? Szoboszlai and Jones will sit on Gonzalez and which FB they invert (if both invert interesting what we do) Grav & Mac will pick up Foden & KDB You’d think Slot has a big red circle around Lewis & Khusanov
Review is out on @TheAnfieldWrap.bsky.social with @KnoxHarrington.bsky.social Dan & me Statsbomb ⬇️ Last 7 days Selections Managing squad Tweak to build up shape MacAllister & Robertson Jones Jota Szoboszlai Nunez Forwards Villa subs & Rogers role 70 mins + End to last 3 games Mentality
Both halves quite similar With 15 to go in both halves I could not believe we were not winning The final 15 in both halves poor End the game looking tired - Rogers became so dominant Centre forward misses when level both halves so costly especially the latter
First 35 was going so well……. Could (should) have put it to bed Even so at 1:1 you must get in at half time no worse
