Here are five of Liverpool’s most impressive players in the Premier League so far.
Liverpool are now included in the December fixtures, which is always important. After all, the best teams often win titles at Christmas, but Reds fans know that’s not always the case. But the truth is that teams are settling in for the season in December.
This month he enters the second half of the campaign and you know what he is fighting for. So which players will Liverpool use this month?
So far, we’ve looked at our goal setting dates to find this season’s stars. It basically records how many players were involved in Liverpool’s goals.
That’s not actually putting the ball in the net, but rather the actions that create chances, break down defenses and lead to finishes. Here are the highlights so far:
5. Dominic Szoboszlai
Soboslay has had a new look since arriving in the summer. He is the attacking midfielder that fans have wanted for years and they just haven’t been able to deliver in time. So far this season, the Hungarian has been directly involved in six goals.
That equates to 0.48 goals per 90 minutes in the Premier League, meaning you can expect him to do something every game. Four of them came from direct play passes, another from a shot and one from a fumble.
It’s also worth noting that Shoboslay ranked second in shot attempts. This means he could score more goals in a game if the numbers stay the same for the rest of the season.
4. Costas Tsimikas
The left-back ranks slightly higher than expected, but he finished fourth with two assists against Brentford. That’s because Tsimikas has only played 360 minutes in the Premier League.
So he averages 0.5 goals per 90 minutes or 1 goal per match. Yes, it’s a very small sample size of one game, but it shows that Tsimikas is more than capable of delivering the goods at left-back to win a Premier League game.
3. Diogo Jota
I am heartbroken that Jota may not be able to compete at all in December. He picked up an injury against Manchester City which will keep him out for the foreseeable future.
Here’s the bad news: Jota is getting very creative this season. He scored 4 goals per 90 minutes at a game rate of 0.57. This does not include his goals.
He is also the only Liverpool player to score a goal himself. Opta’s data shows that only eight players did this more than once and three or fewer times.The Reds will miss him this month.
2. Mohamed Salah
No Liverpool player has attempted more goals than Salah (9), but the same team is averaging more goals per 90 minutes. This is a surprising stat as it does not include his goals this season.
Therefore, the Reds have Salah not only as a goalscorer but also as a key creator, averaging 0.71 GCA per 90 minutes. The Egyptian footballer is third in the Premier League and it goes without saying that none of the players around him can come close to his 10 goals.
A total of 19 goals came from Salah’s direct contribution. It’s really great.
1. Darwin Nunez
Darwin Nunes supports this claim. He may not be able to come close to Salah’s days, but he deserves praise for finding the back of the net. But the Uruguayan helps Liverpool score goals in other ways too.In addition to the goals scored, he was also involved in six goals.
Taking his minutes into account, his rate of 0.79 per 90 is the fifth best in the Premier League this season.This part shows just how high Nunes’s value is now.
Liverpool are much more dangerous when they are on the pitch. The Reds have scored twice this season thanks to his strikes. He also made four, which are unknown.Nunez is a dangerous player and one who will play a crucial role for Liverpool this month.
