Crystal Palace concede 12.1 shots a match and are 0.83× the league norm against forwards. A difficult one.

Season rate multiplied by what this opponent concedes relative to the league. It assumes a full ninety minutes and takes no account of rotation, so check availability before reading anything into it.

What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • PenaltiesTakes them: 8 of 10 Manchester City were awarded.
  • When it mattered10 of 27 goals came with the game level or Manchester City behind.
  • On the pitch75% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Fed by Kevin De Bruyne17 shots, 5.22 xG
  • Fed by Bernardo Silva17 shots, 4.01 xG
  • Fed by Phil Foden13 shots, 2.71 xG
  • Fed by Rodri6 shots, 2.00 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Erling Haaland. 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

Erling Haaland carries 1.4% of Manchester City’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.109
    16% of forwards
  • Possession value per 901.053
    93% of forwards

Ranked against 107 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.
