What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • PenaltiesTakes them: 1 of 2 Liverpool were awarded.
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 15% of Liverpool’s dead-ball danger, from 8 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered5 of 7 goals came with the game level or Liverpool behind.
  • On the pitch63% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Curtis Jones3 shots, 1.36 xG
  • Feeds Hugo Ekitike5 shots, 1.34 xG
  • Fed by Cody Gakpo14 shots, 1.95 xG
  • Fed by Florian Wirtz7 shots, 1.17 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 5.1% of Liverpool’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.262
    78% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.723
    82% of forwards

Ranked against 109 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.
