I cannot see Liverpool winning all the remaining games so it is a question of who will drop most points - right now any team from four can win title but to stand Any chance we have to beat Spurs, Citeh and Chelski all at home and pray our away form holds up against sides fighting to stay in premier league - the prayer vigil starts now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-30419952582023925242014-03-17T18:30:11.053-04:002014-03-17T18:30:11.053-04:00If Van Persie's passing pie chart got any smal...If Van Persie's passing pie chart got any smaller it would be the size of Rio's. No shots on target for Persie. No key passes. No chances created. 6/9 in final third passing. 4 total shots, 3 blocked. Our D turned him into the invisible man.<br /><br />Rooney wasn't much better in the shooting department. 4 shots, 2 blocked, 1 from long range and 1 on target. United's only shot on target over 94 minutes.<br /><br />Any time you can shut down the opposing team's strikers like this, you should win the game, considering we have S<3 on the other end of the pitch.<br /><br />If you look at the passes received charts for Luis and Sturridge, it's interesting that the majority of passes received is on our right wing. Where Evra and Januzaj would be defending. Looks like we targeted that area of the pitch to launch our attacks. During the first 77 minutes, while Vidic was still on the pitch, our final third passing was 70/97. It looks like maybe 60 of those 70 final third completed passes was on the right wing in the Evra/Januzaj(Mata moved right and Januzaj left at 27 minutes) defensive zone. After Vidic went off and the game got stretched our final third passing was 33/37 and more evenly distributed across the field. (But still weighted to the right wing). Januzaj had 0 tackles in 76 minutes. Interesting too that Moyes moved Mata to the left side and Januzaj to the right side at 27 minutes. Mata was 1/5 in tackles for his 87 minutes. At least he tried to tackle.<br /><br />Allen and Flanno really did shut down United's right wing play. Rafael and Mata for the first 27 minutes. Rafael and Januzaj from 27 to 76 minutes. Then Rafael and Mata again after Wellbeck came in on United's left at 76 minutes and Januzaj went off.<br /><br />Gerrard played like he always does in derby matches. i hope he appreciates that all of the next 9 games are Derby matches. I would expect no less as he realizes that this is one of the few times in his 15 year career that he has an opportunity to possibly challenge for a title. 9 games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
