Been meaning to do this for a while but not got round to it, a public information thread on DUELS, particularly ground duels. They're being used more and more in the mainstream (which is good) but I don't think many understand the detail. Thread: 🧵
A gritty, fighting performance with no errors and a clean sheet.
Players emphatically playing for Slot and the travelling Kop endorsing him at the end. Just what the doctor ordered! #lfc

🚨🚨🚨we scored the first goal🚨🚨🚨

On the plus side:
Haven't conceded from 1st shot or early
Wirtz best half in the PL
Using kerkez as an outlet not in build so much better
Players are clearly playing for the coach.
On the negative side:
Its 30th November and Isak still looks MILES off it

Fans: do something different, definition of insanity...yadda yadda yadda
Slot: there you go
Fans: not like that!!!! #lfc

The physical data for the Champions League shows LFC's full-backs have all covered broadly similar distance.
Sprints are a different story.

Kerkez seems to be a figure of ridicule for a big section of the match going fans. but these are massive physical numbers. 608m of sprinting and 26 sprints is absolutely elite for a fullback. And the 1v1 defensive stats excellent too.
The team needs MORE piano carriers like him, not fewer #lfc

Physical data from the PSV game.
Even though heads are dropping when behind, the effort is still going in overall #lfc

Defending champ suffers 8 defeats in 14 Premier League games isn't as far fetched as you might think

I thought Slot's post match to TNT was absolutely remarkable given the pressure he is under. The clarity and honesty of his answers was top class
Just watching Slots TV interview. There's monotone...then there is MONOTONE. This kind of placid energy transfers to the players. Fact

Some folks want blood but i'm a hard NO on sacking the coach.
A caretaker doesnt change the pressure on the players, give them new found confidence or accelerate the process for those still grieving.
All you do is sack a league winning coach who had to manage one of his players dying #lfc

I remember watching City on this matchday a year ago vs feyenoord. They didn't lose, played well in patches but they were absolutely shredded in transition and in a run of losing 9 games in 12 in all comps. We look in a similar funk now. Too many error, players out of form and with no legs #lfc

Szobo is on a different level to anyone else in a red shirt right now.
Absolutely all-time #lfc midfield levels

Nice to be reminded that Cody can actually get shots on target!

Also a wider look at why XG isn't "broken" when it comes to set plays

Running the Numbers: What 11.3 km Really Means

Opta distance covered on fotmob vs UEFA's in-house provider.
More than 6km difference on Real's total. That's half a player and outside a +/- 5% margin of error. Crazy that different providers can push this stuff out to fans #UCL #championsleague #uefa

This is more like the REAL liverpool!

A more compact approach off ball, with a new passing structure on ball, getting rewards in a big game!

I've seen hundreds of #lfc pass networks but never one like this.
New and exciting!
