Liverpool were fantastic today.

Apart from the goal conceded I couldnt fault the team.

I thought I heard were going to win the league being sung I hope the fans who sang that were joking.

Its only October.

Probably tongue in cheek I guess. The auld scouse wit and all that

Harry Palmr

We're 4th on MOTD so about 11.10 PM

passing/position map for today's game well 72 mins of it (why never the full game?)

Francie Barrett

Interesting graph. Henderson evidently the pivot. Makes sense when you consider his performance today!

not yet

Didn't feel I could say this for a long, long time but..



Liverpool are a thing of beauty.

Possibly because that's when players generally start getting subbed off, might skew it a bit.

Coutinho averaging a goal/assist every 57 mins this season. Remember when Oscar & Mata where far better players.

more Optatastic stats

Since the start of 2015-16, James Milner has been involved in 20 league goals for Liverpool (8 goals, 12 assists); a club-high.

24 - Liverpool's goal tally after eight competitive games this season is their highest in 121 years, since 1895-96 (34 goals)

In 492 PL minutes Lallana has had 4 shots (all on target), 3 goals and 3 assists.

Worth noting we were in the second division in 1895-96, so it's a record for us in the top flight

martyos121

Just worked out that with 16 goals in 6 PL games, we're on course for another 100 goal season. Mental when you consider we failed to score against Burnley.

Boring James Milner ‏@BoringMilner Sep 21
Just drove behind a tractor for 3.6 miles. I tried to overtake it but there wasn't an opportunity to do it safely so I didn't.

Vicxas

MOTD made us look even more majestic than watching live

5starpool

This made me laugh. Was just reading a link to TAW ratings page for the game today and saw this bit:

Emre Can (on for Coutinho 74′):

Fair play for coming on and just barging into people.

Charlie19

Poor Couthinho blinded by the smile.

5starpool

Mad stat here. Sounds wrong but I certainly can't be arsed fact checking.

Squawka Football ‏@Squawka 1h1 hour ago
James Milner has scored in 43 different Premier League games, he has never lost when doing so (W35, D8).

BorneTobyWilde

Looks like we will dominate the Premier League and Europe for next decade.

You went around the block to play it down a bit and like all of us played it cautiously but then wham there it is in the last sentence!


I think most of us are on the same page. We're all cautiously optimistic, we've a good chance of top-4. A very good chance, but early days.

(doesn't count but later on I'll watch MOTD and have a rake of beers and start working out how best to celebrate when we win the title by 9 points)

It'll be January or February before anybody can call anything with confidence and a decent sample size of performances to go on. For example Leicester last year, I could see them pipping United to the top 4 last season. Took another month or so to see they could win the league!

Still, we're looking good.

That's mental stats. Firmino was one goal or assist every 87 minutes, and that was since the turn of the year IIRC.

OwaynOTT

Sample sizes my hip.

There ain't no control on premeditated football. Going win the thing. Telling you

Oh yeah, last week there was discussion about how Liverpool were not stringing sequences of wins together (which I showed was not actually quite true), well this was the third PL win in a row and 4 in all comps.

First time we won every game in a month since 2014.

He's been brilliant. Cracking player in fairness to him

Anyone know what Firmino and Coutinho's hands across the eyes,"yapping hands" celebration was all about yesterday?

It was in Portuguese so I didn't understand it either.

Turtyturd

That Coutinho stat is unreal. You can see there is a bit of trust between him and his teammates now, and he's more likely to play one of them in than take a wild shot. Someone was saying yesterday that he'd be 'rotated' for Sturridge, not a chance while he's playing like that.

They are mocking Dunga.

Meanwhile top of the charts or runners up for all the good stuff

I got a wee bit nostalgic , ( yes I know it was a poor hull team) with that pressing and energy from everyone , for a certain luis Suarez . He would be the icing on the cake of this Liverpool team

Dont worry about Suarez, he left. It's all about Firmino, Mane, Coutinho!

Sorry, got mixed up, early morning befuddlement, you're using an app I hadn't heard of before, thought you were talking about one I have called Forza Football.

Might take SofaScore for a test drive next weekend, looks good. Do you use it on iPhone or android?

MD1990

Klopp on Monday Night Football tomorow night. That will be much better than the game.

Just thinking when I seen the WBA game last night that Rondon looks like a player that would do very well in the current Liverpool team. Instead of Firmino imo.

Mata has a goal/assist in every 157 minutes of PL football, Coutinho 177

Still has a while to go before he reaches Mata's level

Jaysus I wouldn't pick Rondon ahead of Firmino in a million years. He's a decent player alright but Firmino has much more of an all round game. Two different type of players in fairness.
