The Official Liverpool FC Thread [Vol 13]

Should be a win. The new Swansea coach seemingly isn't afraid to commit players to attack and that will play into our hands. They are in the st so grabbing the odd draw won't suffice. They need to win games.

I'm looking forward to seeing VvD take a free kick around the edge of the box.

I predicted 4-1 to us when talking to the boss at lunch.

So it will be 1-0 to them with us having 80% possession but doing nothing in terms of shooting,

This is the type of game where it will be interesting to see how Ox/Lallana step up, to break teams down who play defensively with 10 men behind the ball. We should still have too much for them - I am going 0-4.

For anyone into their stats, Firmino compared to other top strikers in the Prem:

A few days ago, Firmino's conversion rate was 27.something%. How come its now dropped when we haven't played since?!

Arguing about stats now, kin ell.

[jammy-git]

Could be league vs all games. Or that table lists non-penalty goals, has Firmino taken any pens for us this season?

This chap loves stats... and gets paid £300,000 to share them!

I went back a week through this thread but couldn't find the stat you're referring to Maybe you can link it (I like stats, well, trying to make sense of them)?

Jammy's table has filtered out substitute appearances, maybe that's the difference.

97% of stats are made up.

I thought it was 93% last week? What has changed since then?

You'll destroy us.

Again.

It was nothing like that table - just someone saying something about Firmino having the best conversion ratio in the Prem at 27.something% of chances. Given these were probably 2 different sources anyway, it just shows stats aren't the be all and end all.

That's as strong as we get right now I think.

Apart from the keeper, I agree.

Can captain seems an odd choice.

Getting ready to sign his new contract.

Perhaps it's to help the contract negotiations!
