What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • PenaltiesTakes them: 1 of 9 Newcastle United were awarded.
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 16% of Newcastle United’s dead-ball danger, from 20 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered6 of 11 goals came with the game level or Newcastle United behind.
  • On the pitch86% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Alexander Isak7 shots, 1.56 xG
  • Feeds Callum Wilson5 shots, 1.36 xG
  • Fed by Jacob Murphy9 shots, 1.84 xG
  • Fed by Kieran Trippier6 shots, 1.26 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 passes

Anthony Gordon carries 7.7% of Newcastle United’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.348
    80% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.809
    74% 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.
