Solskjær: "He’s [Greenwood] grown a lot, physically and mentally robust, you expect from an 18-year-old. He’s had 12 months with us now, he’s grown in confidence and performance, he’s done well, he’s played a lot of league games and done well."

Hendeson, Febinho and Keita have only contributed 3 goals and 4 Assist in the EPL despite having such team mates as Salah and Mane.

Only McTominay has three goals to tally those three Liverpool midfielder of yours.

So goals scored by midfielders are what determines creativity in the middle of the pitch. cool

All these uncertainties and yet, they are still not raiding the transfer market to reinforce the team. Tragic!!

At least for 2 midfielders or 1CM and 1RW.

If Fred gets injured we would be truly fvcked. Someone that we are managing and just happy that he has improved, but still not United standard.

Please stop it already. With Trent Alexander Arnold and Robertson joining the attack, Liverpool have a front 5. What this means is that Firmino can easily drop a little deep whilst Mane and Salah find their way to the box.

The midfielders you think aren't creative are excellent ball carriers, they drive with the ball at top speed into the opposition's half taking out one or two players in the process. Henderson is also there with his excellent long passes (Up through as gamers will say). In our set up, only Pogba is better than Henderson when it comes to those cross field balls and through passes. This season, against Everton, Henderson created at least 3 clear cut chances releasing Mane through on goal vs Pickford with just a ball over the top. What else is creativity? Wijnaldum beating his marker with pace and power whilst driving forward before releasing the ball to the overlapping Robertson is also creativity. You make the mistake of thinking creativity is when someone releases the ball to an attacker through on goal.
I don't even want to talk about Van Dijk and his epic long diagonals from defence, that is a huge weapon there. Wolves also have Coady who is adept at those devastating long passes, which was handy against City.

In all, Liverpool have creative players from Allison whose kicking is 90% of the time pinpoint accurate to Van Dijk to their overlapping fullbacks to Henderson to runners like Wijnaldum/Chamberlain/Keita to their front 3...It's a functional unit and not just their front 3.

First what you have confirmed is that a coach based his team creativity of the creative players in his team. If you have full backs that are creative and your midfielders are less creative, then the full backs can go all out while the less creative players stay to block. That is what Liverpool does. Every teams knows its strength. This is why Bissaka will be less forward going that Willians when they both mature. You guys should understand this.

As for creativity in midfield, those Liverpool midfielders are ordinary or even worse than ours. When you play a long ball to Messi he will control it. Play same long ball to Lingard or James, he will lose it. So foget about Henderson long balls. Salah is there to control them

Has Fred Pogba and McTominay played together since Fred rediscovered himself and McTominay stepped up?

McTominay is our best player this season. He might not have a leg over, but he does the best work in the midfield. Hardly any midfield has dominated him

Because them no dey count leg over and do stylish things na.

We are better than Liverpool in just one department which is midfield. It is in the other departments they are far better than us.

Remember that whoscored use over 200 stats (every player all round contribution is captured) even the ones we cannot see when we watch a match.

bros you actually right I keep telling people the only thing those LFC midfielders do is to press no creativity at all.
That's why any time they are struggling to get goals klopp will bring in keita the only creative midfielder he have, Henderson is just one lucky motherfvcker that doesn't deserve to be a footballer.

Wrong... Liverpool players are able to move the ball to the final third... I'm not sure I've seen Fred run with the ball for two metres sef... No be by Debryune type of passes.. Even man city midfielders move with the ball

Man can run with the ball, McSauce is the master at dis.

Fred plays as our DM so he's not licensed to run around with ball and still why run with the ball when you have the passing ability to release the ball making the transition quicker?

Lie these guys can't pass or score. When you say move ball forward we can all see what happened when they played against United or Chelsea and city they struggled once the midfield get the ball they return it to the defence and from there to the attackers.
Against man utd they couldn't create anything because man utd allowed the midfielders to have the ball blocking the wings and full backs

Creativity

Chances created per minutes played
Pogba 32.6
Keita 49.3
Fred 54.9
Ferbinho 77.4
Henderson 79.6
Milner 83
McTominay 97

However among all of them, McTominay is most likely to score a goal
When it comes to Tackles, 1.Keita, 2.Febinho and 3.Henderson are all slightly ahead of McTominay who is united best in that aspect.
On interception, Keita and Fred are the best. Pogba is desperately poor in interception.

All these are part of what the stats measured scientifically. But with naked eyes, I McTominay runs with the ball and Pogba does that too even though lazily.

However, I did not know Xavi, Scholes, Pirlo running with the ball. If na Ramires we fit agree
