Liverpool Vs Man United Stats – Passing

Liverpool Vs Man United Stats – 6th March 2011

Following on from our previous post with regards to match stats we thought we’d post some in depth breakdown on the passes made by each of the players that made the majority of the match. The passes are broken down in to forward, backward, left and right passes. Hopefully you’ll be able to find some sort of correlation. However the obvious things you may notice are things like defenders passing a higher proportion forward and strikers laying off passes backwards a lot more. Stats are below:
