What they are for
Roles
penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships- PenaltiesTakes them: 2 of 6 Newcastle United were awarded.
- Corners and set piecesSupplies 12% of Newcastle United’s dead-ball danger, from 17 deliveries that became shots.
- When it mattered5 of 6 goals came with the game level or Newcastle United behind.
- On the pitch72% of the minutes available to them.
Partnerships
- Feeds Sandro Tonali6 shots, 1.07 xG
- Feeds Joelinton11 shots, 0.91 xG
- Fed by Alexander Isak11 shots, 2.06 xG
- Fed by Jacob Murphy4 shots, 0.91 xG
A share of the attack says how much runs through Anthony Gordon. 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 passesAnthony Gordon carries 5.4% of Newcastle United’s build-up value.
- Build-up per 900.22961% of forwards
- Possession value per 900.55539% 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.
