Liverpool were, again, a blunt-looking outfit in their goalless draw against Leeds, and it saw an alarming statistic emerge over Arne Slot‘s ability to create big chances.For the fifth time this season in all competitions, Liverpool were kept off the scoresheet, this time by a newly-promoted Leeds side who had opted to rotate at Anfield.It is a fixture you expect Liverpool to walk away from with three points, as reigning champions would against a team fighting to stay above the relegation zone.Instead, despite having 68 percent possession, Liverpool managed to create only two big chances across more than 90 minutes of play, managing a total of four shots on target.In isolation you could put it down as an off day, but the trend of recent Anfield performances suggests otherwise, as we can see with the help of FotMob.Liverpool averaging 1 big chance in recent home gamesIn Liverpool’s last five home games in the Premier League, they have won two, drawn two and lost one against teams with an average table position of 15th.After most of those fixtures, Slot spoke about the difficulty of breaking down a low block, and after Thursday’s match he talked up the need for “individual special moments.”“We are the team that has the most but ball possession means not a lot if you cannot create enough chances and to create chances against a low block you need pace, individual special moments to create an overload.“Another way is to create a counter-attack but there are 11 players in front of you and it is not easy to find players who are free close to the goal. We saw a team that kept trying.”Yet, despite what should be a chasm in quality, Slot saw his side create just five big chances against Leeds, Wolves, Sunderland and Nottingham Forest, an average of 1.25 per game. That’s right, barely even one.Brighton is the obvious outlier with three big chances converted into two goals and a victory.Defining a ‘Big Chance’• Clear opportunity: A “Big Chance” is a high-quality scoring situation where a player is reasonably expected to find the net.• Typical scenarios: These usually include one-on-one situations, close-range efforts with a clear path, or any penalty kick.• High likelihood: The metric serves as a key indicator of a team’s creative efficiency and their probability of scoring.Across the five games, Liverpool had a total of 69 shots for a combined xG of 5.52, which they underperformed by scoring five, an average of one per match.The shot maps (pictured above) tell the story, with a high density of shots without any real threat, with the exception of Brighton.No training time, no improvements?Conversely, at the other end of the pitch the Reds conceded eight big chances and ultimately five goals in total across their last five home league games.It is one thing seeking to create a solid base after the malaise throughout November, but Liverpool have become unadventurous and a team lacking confidence and conviction.The message from the manager reiterates the need for a “special” moment, instead of an organised attack that has a plan for breaking down a stubborn opposition when dominating the ball.With little to no training time this month, it is hard to see how this changes if three games in 19 days did not result in any meaningful improvements.FotMob is an essential app for every fan to keep up to date with their team or follow football worldwide, their incredible features provide all the information you never knew you needed!
