Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 14/04/2026Enjoyed the performance while the tie was live but its a big problem now its settled. Its a problem for the players because it shows they can produce good intensity on a short turnaround. Its a problem for the coach because there's no synchronicity at the sharp end of the pitch in April #lfc 9240
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 12/04/2026For context, City outran Chelsea by 8km today. Almost a whole player 571
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 11/04/2026Better attacking from #LFC today (mainly Rio) but completely overrun again. 1st half 52.8 vs 55.7 km 2nd half 55.5 v 60.0km 60km in a half is BIG from Fulham. 4.5km in a half = 1 player short. And we looked a player short with the eye test AND it shows in the expected threat race chart 7184
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 11/04/2026Don't watch golf outside of the majors and ryder cup but that today from McIlroy is as good as I've ever seen. An all-time great, in the zone and locked-in. 250
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 08/04/2026Kvicha is so good. Probably my favourite non-LFC player. Outstanding composure 6141
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 08/04/2026Could have done without a wicked deflection for the first goal....worked hard enough but hugo and flo dismal with the possession that came their way. Those 2 have to be light years better #lfc 5172
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 08/04/2026There really isn't much difference between 3xCB and Frimpong directly replacing Salah. Frimpong and Gomez will play in the same zones of the pitch regardless. The most interesting bit will be on the other flank as kerkez will have Hakimi AND Doue to deal with, a formidable prospect 480
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 07/04/2026Excellent game. Bayern deserved winners but maybe not as ruthless as they would have liked. Madrid improved a lot after the subs. 180
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 07/04/2026Bayern the better team in every department. Well worth their lead and maybe should be 2 ahead. Real flaky at the back making some crazy passing choices and the forwards are only playing for themselves 270
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 04/04/2026A lesson in being ruthless today. We were pretty good for 40 mins, arguably the better team. Hugo should score, Salah has an easy square ball for a wirtz tap in. Then City absolutely clinical after we give away the pen. Salah missing his pen summed it up. #lfc 9371
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 04/04/2026Plenty to like at 0-0 (wirtz positioning, jones as 3rd buildup option) but we simply have to take one of those big chances. But once city got ahead they took over #lfc 3120
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 04/04/2026Probablt the most athletic team we can field (bar Frimpong) which is a good thing considering the 2 games so far this season: AWAY LFC total distance 109.7km High Intensity (>6.5 m/s) 10.5km MCFC 118.7km, HI 11.2km HOME LFC 110.2km, 9.3km MCFC 117.9km, 9.4km 291
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 26/03/2026With help like this its hard to see *any* team being able to beat PSG over 2 legs in the coming years, especially an English one. PSG revised schedule 👇 6132
Reposted by Dan KennettGreg Murphy @greg-murphy.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Absolutely. Just updated them to the latest games: Arsenal - more distance in 27/27, avg 114.84 vs 110.57 opposition City - 22/27, 115.72 vs 112.17 LFC (which you obviously have) 2/27, 109.07 vs 113.04 Pretty consistent opposition numbers against all 3, the big outlier being our effort. 051
Reposted by Dan KennettOpta Analyst @optaanalyst.optajoe.com · 20/03/2026This is an incredibly inefficient way of attacking. So, we ask, are long throws a waste of everyone's time? theanalyst.com/articles/pre...theanalyst.comAre Long Throws Actually a Waste of Everyone’s Time? | Opta AnalystPremier League teams are all attacking with long throw-ins this season, but very few are scoring goals from them consistently. 171
Reposted by Dan KennettOpta Analyst @optaanalyst.optajoe.com · 20/03/2026There have been 1,179 long throws into the opposition box in Premier League games this season. Those have brought about just 24 goals - or one goal every 49 long throws. Matches are also being delayed for an average of 10 minutes, 42 seconds just for throw-ins to be taken. 6287
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 23/03/2026The relationship between total distance and results is noisy and complex but the high level summary for #LFC this season is: 1) 8 games where outrun by > 6km, W0 D2 L6 2) 8 games where outrun between 3 and 6km, W3 D2 L3 3) 11 games where distance was +/- 3km difference: W7 D3 L1 8321

Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 22/03/2026I really really dont want the industrial scale cheats to win anything but fuck me, Arsenal make it so difficult to get behind them. They are absolutely dismal, just a very expensive version of Pulis-ball 5634
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 22/03/2026Its like the 2nd half of our game at Arsenal, they can't even get over halfway 090
Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 22/03/2026A dull half but it still exceeded my expectations #carabaocup 140
Reposted by Dan KennettDale Johnson @dalejohnsonbbc.bsky.social · 22/03/2026On Danny Welbeck's second goal for Brighton against Liverpool. This time it was Liverpool's turn to concede a goal when the attacker was onside due to the in-built 5cm tolerance level. 182

Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 21/03/2026Didn't deserve anything from the 2nd half. Completely overrun like Bournemouth Away. Another theme of the season #lfc 5241

Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 19/03/2026Frimpong & Kerkez are absolutely key points of difference to the #lfc system going forward. Sadly we dont have PL physical data (as promised) but here are the CL season summaries. Both in top 15 for sprints p90, the metric that matters most. Frimpong 20.7 Kerkez 19.9 For context, Hakimi 17.2 #lfc 3240

Dan Kennett @dankennett.co.uk · 18/03/2026Just back from anfield, some pretty sexy footy from the mighty reds tonight. These were the attacking fullbacks I've been waiting to see all season. Kerkez absolutely outstanding and frimpong not far behind. #LFC 4680
