I do like to add stats for analysis for all to see and our chat (and the breathing space of being outside of the League season) is a decent chance for that when there's a reprieve in the League schedule.
Darwin's 0.48 goals per 90' in the League (11 goals) puts him in the 94th percentile.
Darwin's 0.35 assists per 90' in the League (8 assists) puts him in the 95th percentile.
Darwin's 0.84 goals+assists per 90' (19 goal contributions) put him in the 96th percentile.
Darwin's 0.66 xG per 90' (14.86 expected goals) put him in the 98th percentile.
He's effective. Would further improvement from our 24-year old forward be welcome? Of course it would. Will be be our #9 for years? Not if he doesn't perform - football is ruthless, so you may be rid of him soon enough.
But he certainly has the potential to be a very useful part of our attacking force. Indeed, whilst he still has further to go (he "should" have had 15 League goals this season based off his xG, rather than 11) but he has as much chance of making it as he does of botching it - I believe he's on the cusp.

I'd rather we get rid and replace him with someone that can score from 6 yrds out for the sake of the club and the future of it, i'd rather liverpool FC do better.
