really appreciate the effort in compiling this piece ... it reminds us about how metrics without context can be misleading (e.g. not all runs were productive) but also shows the potential for chance creation ... still "on-the-fence" about Kerkez but there's no doubting his attitude/effort and endurance levels to keep making these runs ... your last post re: his OBV was also really helpful as we know LFC's data team will have models like that one from Statsbomb
I hope everyone is doing okay.
I enjoyed revisiting this Kerkez performance. If it's not the best example of why Liverpool signed him, it's a very good one.

Cheers. Yeah I remember Liverpool signing up for StatsBomb data, so perhaps they’ve refined it to their own model.
Ha, definitely one for a certain generation!
