The Numbers Game – 2015/16 Review – Klopp’s Liverpool

Our series of members’ articles, which review the statistics behind the previous season, now focuses on Liverpool.

First up, we cast an eye over the Reds’ team statistics under new manager Jurgen Klopp and compare them to the rest of Premier League over his period in charge, before delving into the data to assess their first-team squad, main goal threats and creative sources as we look to gain insight on their prospects for the upcoming campaign.

After steering Liverpool to sixth spot in 2014/15, Brendan Rodgers lasted just eight matches of the following season before parting company with the Merseyside club. The Reds had started brightly enough, winning both their opening fixtures before a run of one victory in the subsequent six – at home to Villa – saw the Irishman replaced by Jurgen Klopp at the helm.

The Reds’ progress to both the Capital One Cup and Europa League finals ultimately proved fruitless and with the German keen to rotate, Liverpool could only manage an eighth-place finish, ending the campaign 21 points behind champions Leicester.

                    Most are too young to remember quality TV shows....

                      In fact, how many youngsters watch TV these days? Everything is watched on a mobile device!

                        They watch TV I guess but they don't watch channels anymore but the likes of Netflix in which they can choose what they watch...

        Is sky fantasy football any good

        1. My Name Is Prince
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Nah.... Takes your focus off the real thing...

          1. Jack Burton
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah second season this one your right gonna focus on the real thing just bored ha ha

            1. My Name Is Prince
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              The great thing is you have 30 (or so?) transfers throughout the whole season so you can just leave the team be for weeks, then check back and make a few transfers and then let it be again... Obviously you'd have the same captain all along but if it's a good player then that's not an issue.... And it would always be just for fun (unlike FPL which is serious).....

            Maybe....We might get lucky and his price already set as a bit part Pool player. 5.0 possibly.

              • 11 Years

            Depends on price. I am looking at Leko as think he will come in cheap.

            1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
              • 13 Years

              Need to monitor that injury, hopefully nothing serious

              1. Worzel Gummidge
                  8 years, 3 months ago

                  Didn't even realise he was injured. Hopefully nothing serious. I watched him during a game last season and was seriously impressed. If he gets 1st team he is definitely in my team.

                    Last year this time we were already on draft no. 398 (well that was the average anyway).... 🙂

                      While some of us registered and picked our team 4 days before the first game! Too many transfers and injuries to be had without making 398 drafts.

                In the last 8 weeks I have played football 3 times and every time my right ankle has 'gone'.

                I'm either not giving it enough of a break or it is done for good.

                Seriously frustrating because I had my heart set on getting the head down and getting myself match fit and giving it all another rattle for a final season or two.

                Crap.

                  When you brush your teeth, stand on one leg (the weak one!) and you will build up the proprioceptors and ligaments.

                    I managed to get to the last few minutes the last game before it went even though I could feel it wasn't 100% I could play.

                    It goes when I try and get some real power into a shot.

                    Really strange was never injury prone as such but this ankle has been an issue on and off for longer than I'd like.

                      Brushing your teeth on one leg will make a huge difference within 1 week, trust me.

                  Everton have been wanting you to leave for ages.

                  But seriously, just go to a physio - get an appointment. You have to look after it, I have a back issue with golf because I've only started playing it. I use a heatpack before I play to get it warmed up. It works really well, the problem can reduce but if you are the wrong side of 30 the body reacts poorly from now on. YOu have to look after it, stretch plus heatpacks or icepacks

                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                    8 years, 3 months ago

                    32 and I always had fantastic recovery from minor strains or heavy knocks I'd be back playing the next game.

                    Maybe that is the part that is hard to adjust to.

                      After 32, that recovery doesnt work very well anymore. it's awful, its even worse when 'your legs go' - you'll know what I mean when they do. All the power just isn't there anymore, and you become breathless very easily. So if I was you I'd play another season. If you want to kick the ball hard, try accelerating your body through the ball a bit better rather than widely swinging.

                      Be careful wearing it too much, that can actually cause problems as well.

                  Had any physio? I actually had a a very bad issue with my right ankle as well a number of years ago (slide tackle, torn ligaments, 4 months out). Returned for the next season and first preseason training went again and lost 2 months. Got into physio a bit more, took it very carefully and doing exercises, haven't had a problem since (aside from the occasional jarred ankle that's a bit sore).

                  Physio the only real way to go. I've had a heal injury for a couple of years and am getting it sorted out this off-season. Making a huge difference with some basic stuff already.

                      impending, at hand, close, near, approaching, fast approaching, coming, forthcoming, on the way, about to happen, upon us, in store, in the offing, in the pipeline, on the horizon, in the air, in the wind, brewing, looming, looming large;

                          Looks like they might have brought it forward from what people are saying about it being imminent.

                              Yeah, more than enough. I normally don't get my team sorted till a few days before the season anyway.

                    I see there's a Leko bandwagon developing. Are we sure he is even likely to be a regular? They have just bought Phillips they have McClean, McMenaman, Pulis often uses Berahino wide

                        From what I seen, albeit in 1 game, he is their best player. He should start IMO but yes will need to keep an eye on the situation.

                        Im guessing it's the potential of having a break through season

                        Leko is certainly better than McClean and McManaman from what little I have seen. Philips is quite good, though.

                          Yes, have a good keeper too. Surely the team to watch among the three promoted.

                            Will certainly be having a defender or Valdes

                            Just 27 as well, no disrespect to Middlesbrough, but he easily would get into starting XIs of many other better teams - my team Arsenal for example!

                            They offered Dortmund a transfer fee and it was accepted . They then offered a contract to Subotic and he accepted 😉

                            I imagine they'll sign someone. But then, there's Austin and JRod there too.

                              Am lead to believe they won't. They may also promote Seager from the U21s

                              1. Somalion

                                Hmm. I do wonder. Neither of Austin or JRod are reliable injury wise, so they may be stuck with Seager and Long for lots of the season? Sam Gallagher as well I suppose.

                              True, though I heard someone on this say that this manager likes two up front.

                              1. Somalion

                                I've heard this too. Even then, I'd maybe wait and see with Long. Got nothing against Shane, in fact I admire his determination to make it in the PL, but he's not a prolific goal scorer whatsoever.

                                  Agree, but he's an excellent 'behind the scenes' player, stretching defences with runs and what not.

                            Damn straight 😎

                            I mean, if they're willing to pay Pelle 350 grand a week I could easily bleed 60-70k a week out of them.

                          I wonder how many legitimately talented players will go to China or maybe even the Saudi league in the coming years. With the wages they're offering, I feel like it's inevitable an upcoming player in his prime will go there.

                            Great country to live in, and with better weather. I'm surprised more do not go there.

                            Very likely. An example could even be Lanzini. Huge talent at River Plate but instead of moving to Europe he signed for Al Jazira Club even though clubs all over the world wanted him.

                              Very true, guess he went for the paycheck instead.

                              China will obviously have to court known players or at least very talented players to raise the profile of the league & in turn get the Chinese people & youth interested/invested.

                              It'll be interesting to see how this develops long-term, the culture that emerges & what the general populace's reception is.

                                China loves Football. The main clubs that compete in the Asian CL are always packed out, especially with well-known managers working out there. Quite a few young European players who would normally be sitting on benches, have decided to go to China to get playing time, as well as earn better salaries. If only some English players had the balls to go play in Europe, let alone China, then maybe player develop would increase there too....?

                                  **player development

                                  That's good to hear, guess it's already developing well. A lot of money to be made there in a country with the biggest middle class. I hope to see more Chinese youth talent rise up & play in Europe, & more top-tier youth academies in China.

                                  I'm sure there's a lot of English talent that could use that experience. Certainly not a problem with other top leagues though.

                              It has opened on a Friday before, so yes, could easily be another week.

                            Yeah, plenty of chances for new rejecting. Maybe I am just designed to be alone.

                              If they rejected you then they aren't right for you anyway. I can guarantee several things:
                              Sometimes you will be rejected,
                              Sometimes you will reject,
                              And sometimes it will work out.

                              It will feel better in a few days.

                                  Try plenty of fish.com getting a date on there is easy... if it's still going that is. Never give in my friend and never let it break you.

                        I've completed one part of my advantages of a gameweek 4 article which is all about how Zlatan Ibrahimovic can be accommodated up until the wildcard.
                        I hope to have this article published to the Fantasy Football Scott community.

                          Evening gents, sorry, haven't been around much today, so apologies on a question I'm guessing has been asked 686,127 times already but where did the "not until next week" update come from?

                          What does this mean? A bit complicated...
                          Aids in achieving healthy weight. High-fiber foods tend to be more filling than low-fiber foods, so you're likely to eat less and stay satisfied longer. And high-fiber foods tend to take longer to eat and to be less "energy dense," which means they have fewer calories for the same volume of food.

                            It means that all food is equal but some is more equal than others. But seriously the more you put in the more you put on. If food companies were required to tell you how far you need to walk to counter the calorific content of their products then I think you'd see more people making better choices more often. That said, there's always room for a Mars bar. Everything in moderation except for moderation

                            Juve are shaping to be favorites for a top 4 spot in the CL at this rate imo. What a squad.

                          Excellent article. I LURVE the klopp style of footy. We gonna shock someone by taking a top 4 spot this season. One of you big spending teams of prima donna's missing out :mrgreen:

                            Or two of ya's. City, arsenal, pool top 4. That leaves one spot for spuds, chelski, wancs and the mighty leicester

                              I'm pretty sure ManUtd will finish in the top 4, maybe Arsenal won't.

                                Arsenal and city I feel most sure of. Rest is a clusterfuk. Got a feeling about pool though. Not biased at all 😛

                                  8 years, 3 months ago

                                  My top 4 prediction is:
                                  1. Man City
                                  2. Man Utd
                                  3. Chelsea
                                  4. Liverpool/Arsenal

                                  Mourinho, Guardiola, Klopp and Conte all being experts at winning big games, I think Arsenal will barely get any points from the 8 games against these teams.

                          Nice debut for Grujic. He's gonna be some player me thinks

                            Sadio looks a proper nice fit 😀

                          Really fancy Liverpool this year with no Europa league. Would fancy them for top 4 and a cup.

                          1) Man Utd
                          2) Liverpool
                          3) Man City
                          4) Chelsea
                          5) Spurs
                          6) Everton
                          7) Arsenal

                          Think Pep may be in for a rude awakening in the most competitive league. May fare better in CL though.

                          Fancy Jose to do the business from the off and win a title, even with Europa which he is on record as deriding.

                          Koeman to have a third consecutive 6th place!

                              What are your thoughts on the Götze move? Is the majority of the hate coming from the die-hard fans regarding the transfer?

                          Popped my hat in to the site earlier in the day, seemed like a lot of people were getting out of hand that FPL hadn't opened yet
