If anyone thinks Wilf had a poor game last night they need their head tested. He is turning into a different type of player under Viera. He knows he is not the main man anymore and it suits him. You can see that he really respects Viera and is playing for him. Under Roy he was playing for himself and a move away from Palace. Wilf is still one of our best players and still a fantastic player.

There's certainly truth to what you're saying, but 'useful forward' feels a bit harsh - he's still our best outlet and most dangerous player in the majority of games, including last night. I think your line about the old days is spot on; he's not as exciting and eye-catching as he used to be, but his output is considerably better; Goals scored by wingers since the start of last season; Salah - 40 Barring Salah who is a freak of nature, he's up there with anyone in the country. Those stats are much better than I realised, although I'm not sure they're quite right as Wilf got 11 goals last season and has 8 this season (19 total), while Mane got 11 last season and has 11 this season (22 total). Nonetheless, still fairly impressive, although only one assist this season and two last season is perhaps telling.

Mane is now on 22 following his brace the other night, yes. When you think about how many more goals and more chances Liverpool create as a team, I think it's pretty exceptional that Wilf has *almost* kept pace.
Chances created and big chances created are much better metrics of a players creative output. Wilf has 4 big chances created this season, which puts him in the top 50 in the division - only ~25 players have created more than 4 big chances this season, and those are mostly the usual suspects at the super clubs.

Good point actually, they're only assists if they are put away.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Who gets the assist with pens, is it the person who is fouled OR the person who played the pass to instigate the foul? Reason i ask is, more often than not, the player who is fouled will take the pen.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

The way Wilf is coming back on strong, I wouldn't put it past him scoring a Patrick tomorrow against Burnley.

I don't think they credit winning a penalty or free kick that is then converted as an assist, so with a goal from a penalty, there is no assister stated.
