    But seriously - I mean it, These lists of stats don’t make for good reading.., They can be used to support almost any argument. As Mentioned - the Xa for Darwin (below a single digit) 0.9 suggests there is more accident than design to the numbers.

    Not that I follow these stats - they can be very misleading unless you have them all.. That would entail exhaustive elements which would be even more boring,,, imo

    Plenty of us enjoy Darwin - we are all rooting for him. His finishing needs work despite a couple of posters trying their best to suggest he is the second coming.

    Defending F$G has become a mantra for some. It’s Liverpool FC they should be backing.

    Yes - offside by what..? a blade of grass?

    He is definitely a handful and can be far more than that.

    Be great IF he could add that Sturridge like lethality with the finishing though. Extremely tough to be coached that - imo.



    just in case Darwin didn’t see it

    Completely different as in one was clinical and the other clearly hasn't been - as yet! Doesn't mean we cannot hope that changes. Both tasked with the same role surely? Daniel to link up with Luis - as Darwin is with Mo..?

    If not - what would Daniel have been tasked with doing that Darwin isn't?

    Th' primary task fur a' strikers is tae score goals. That's whit Nunez is 'ere fur. Compare him wi' ony o' oor great strikers doon th' years 'n' he fails miserably in th' finishing department.

    I quite lik' him as a player bit ah dinnae think he'll score enough goals fur us 'n' ah dinnae think that kin be coached.

    I think Núñez has 22 goals for us in 59 appearances for us in all comps across both seasons (can check later and edit appropriately) which is a good return. Bear in mind some of those appearances have been as a sub, some from the left and plenty as part of last season's often dysfunctional side.

    He's also still young enough that he can improve. Will he ever be as clinical as a Fowler or a Sturridge? Probably not. Am I bothered about that? No - not if he is scoring and assisting plenty and facilitating play - which he is.

    He is really good now. He is showing signs of further improvement. He has time on his side.

    Just enjoy him. Sturridge, for comparison, got 67 goals in 160 appearances for us - somewhere between 1-in-2 and 1-in-3. Incredible finisher, but without wishing to denegrate him in any way he was injured a Hell of a lot and I think when we look back after Darwin's career with us that he is likely to have had a better injury record and probably done more of the off-the-ball stuff to facilitate other players - though we can't make that judgement either way just now.

    Funny you always bring up FSG, no mention of them in my post.

    And the stats you brought XG and XA....
    Generally speaking if a player exceeds their XG, XGconceded or XA... you would say they got far more end product than expected.
    With Darwin expected to assist 1 in PL, he's out performed the expectation.
    With assists could be he made easy assists like pass to X, X driblesand scores
    Or
    The chance to create an Assist was low and he managed to turn it into an assist.
    If you want to do a qualitative analysis off you go.
    Darwins outperformed his XG prior to LFC, and Alisson outperforms XGconceded.

    I sent a link showing the low xA number.. Don't get too excited now.. Wouldn't want you to spill your milk.


    & here - I wasn't suggesting I take anything from it either.. just that it shows how easily stats can mislead.

    EDIT: see below..

    [IMG][/IMG]

    I bring Up F$G because I have noticed you defend the budget while calling Klopp out for a lack of management. I sense that you and Sid are determined that Darwin was a great purchase as a means to prove that Jurgen has been backed sufficiently - when he clearly hasn't.


    Why do I get the feeling I am talking about a striker with a couple of lads who have either never played the position OR who don't really understand it?

    For Sid.. I have nothing but joy when I watch Darwin.. most of the time that is. But his finishing DOES frustrate the shyte out of me. Sorry.. but that is just the way it is.

    At times this is like chatting to Balinkay all over again - only occasionally mixed with that shill Taksin


    Up that shot conversion (he's had 42 - that's 2 more than Mo FFS) and we are truly in business..
