What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • PenaltiesTakes them: 3 of 6 Newcastle United were awarded.
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 5% of Newcastle United’s dead-ball danger, from 4 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered5 of 6 goals came with the game level or Newcastle United behind.
  • On the pitch55% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Nick Woltemade2 shots, 0.96 xG
  • Fed by Harvey Barnes6 shots, 1.56 xG
  • Fed by Jacob Murphy5 shots, 1.34 xG
  • Fed by Joe Willock7 shots, 0.95 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 4.0% of Newcastle United’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.193
    62% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.523
    53% 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.
