have outscored the fabled pool front 3 by 4 goals despite having played 2800 minutes less combined across all competitions.
Looking at PL only (to avoid the whole "we don't play in the europa" etc nonsense:
Rashford has 15 in 26 PL appearances (2210 minutes on field)
Martial has 15 in 27 (2200 minutes)
Greenwood has 8 in 26 (909 minutes)
Salah has 17 in 28 (2450 mins)
Mane has 15 in 29 (2390 mins)
Firmino has 8 in 32 (2640 mins)
PL Totals
United 3 - 38 goals in 5319 mins, goal every 137 minutes
Pool 3 - 40 goals in 7480, goal every 187 minutes
(2100 minute delta, the equivalent of 22 whole premier league games less combined)
fascinating they've racked these numbers having spent the year mainly playing with a non creative mediocre midfield until bruno signed and Pogba came back.
Aaaaaaaaand before the pool fans get all defensive I am using your boys as an example because you are champions, not maliciously.....
Our front 3

What do you mean by the next level though? They’ve won both major competitions in two years?

one stat I didn't know
we have now scored 5 times or more in 4 of our last 15 games.
prior to that we had it done it 3 times in the prior 367 games since fergies retirement game.

Was just going to say this, what level is above what we are?
Does he mean with a different striker we’d win a treble? Not sure I’d agree with that

Was both surprised and happy with this stat?
Next season will be pivotal for out forwards, another years experience and another years playing together, remains to be seen if they can keep it up but I feel all three will improve
Will Liverpools? 🤔
----------------------------------------------------------------------
at 22, 24 and 18 compared with 28 (soon to be 29), 28 and 28 you would assume the united front 3 should keep getting better wheres the pool 3 are at the peak of their powers.
tbh the key take away from this is just how little Firmino contributes.
you keep hearing that he doesn't score but his contribution is why salah and mane score so much, but they're being outscored by kids, so it is surprising they didn't go out for Werner.
I do wonder how much cash pool have, if the Werner buy getting vetoed rumor is true and given they tried to furlough staff will be intriguing to see if they strengthen.
one of Fergie best qualities is that he always strengthened even after cantering to the title because he knew the competition would get stronger and stronger
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Firminho's numbers are ridiculous.I have long argued that he is the reason Liverpool dont move to the next level and Ive been told he is world class and his role is important for Salah and mane.
Think of it this way, with those numbers Firminho would NEVER play for Barca or Real Madrid in any ERA.
Suppose it indicates where liverpool still are as a football club.

What is this gibberish?

The next level is probably winning doubles and back to back leagues etc...

Imagine if we had full backs such as Trent and Robertson...our front 3 would grab a minimum of 5 more each.
Obviously I know in reality a formation with 2 attack minded playmakers as well as two wing backs wouldn't work, but surely we can find someone a tad more productive than Shaw.

But how can he be holding us back from “the next level” when that is back to back leagues, when we’ve only just won our first title?
It’s nonsense. Firmino is a large part of why we’re as good as we are, he doesn’t score as many as a traditional striker because he isn’t a traditional striker.

It’s because he’s not that good. Most overrated player in the league.

Lol he is 5th on shots at goal in the entire league but he has 8 goals
Traditional striker, the guy isn’t clinical that’s it. Doesn’t matter that he presses and he is a play maker

Next level is Liverpool dominating back to back titles, domestic cups etc
