Anyway, more interesting to Liverpool fans and myself was this :-Liverpool Premiership goals analysis
Total Goals = F48 A36
Close Range = F11 (22.9%) A7 (19.4%)
Inside Area = F32 (66.7%) A24 (66.7%)
Outside Area = F5 (10.4%) A5 (13.9%)
That may not mean much on its own but compared to other teams it means a lot.
Rankings (percentage of goals, 1st = highest)
Close Range = For 16th Against 19th
Inside Area = For 2nd Against 1st
Outside Area = For 19th Against 14th
So we are worst percentage-wise for conceding goals in the penalty area, but not bad defensively for close range goals. We have the 2nd worst scoring record from outside the box, that in spite of numerous "victories" Houllier claims from most shots etc
I guess we're not the worst team around, even if some of our stats are bad

16 Leeds Utd (23.2%)
