What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • PenaltiesTakes them: 9 of 9 Liverpool were awarded.
  • Open-play crosses8 crosses from open play became shots, worth 2.45 xG.
  • When it mattered15 of 29 goals came with the game level or Liverpool behind.
  • On the pitch99% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Cody Gakpo11 shots, 3.37 xG
  • Feeds Luis Díaz12 shots, 3.16 xG
  • Fed by Cody Gakpo12 shots, 3.28 xG
  • Fed by Luis Díaz15 shots, 2.42 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Mohamed Salah. These say what would have to be replaced. Losing the penalty taker or the corner deliverer is not the same as losing a proportional slice of output, and a partnership cuts both ways: the supplier being absent damages the finisher’s numbers too.

Season record

Involvement in build-up

excludes their own shots and final passes

Mohamed Salah carries 7.9% of Liverpool’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.430
    97% of forwards
  • Possession value per 901.288
    99% of forwards

Ranked against 104 forwards with a comparable sample. Build-up is the value of possessions a player was involved in with their own shots and final passes removed, so it credits the work before the chance. It is a possession-value measure rather than a passing one: it cannot tell a forty-yard carry from two sideways balls, because no pass or carry record exists in this data.
