The most recent player statistics from the Premier League showcase Dominik Szoboszlai’s amazing engine, while Curtis Jones has also been very active!
Since moving to Anfield for £60 million from RB Leipzig back in July, Szoboszlai has been a revelation. James Milner made the lactate test during the preseason famous, and he immediately captured the attention of supporters with his performances.
Gameweek 12’s player numbers from the Premier League seem to show off the Hungarian’s athleticism, which has drastically altered Liverpool’s midfield dynamics.
With 138.2 km covered thus far this season, he is top on the league’s overall ground covered list, which is topped by Christian Norgaard of Brentford.
This season, the 23-year-old has started every Premier League match. In 11 of his 12 games, he has played the entire 90 minutes; in the other, he was substituted after 66 minutes while on the road at Luton.
Not only does his enthusiasm make for captivating reading, but Liverpool’s No. 8 also set a season record for the third-fastest sprint speed, clocking in at 36.8 km/h.
Szoboszlai is ranked just above Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon, which is a pleasant bonus, and behind only Pedro Neto of Wolves and Chiedozie Ogbene of Luton in that area!
In other news, Jones covered an amazing 13 km during the September trip to Wolves. This distance has only been surpassed three times in this season’s Premier League games.
Before his progress was hindered by a three-game domestic punishment for his controversial red card away to Tottenham, Jones was having a pleasant start to his 2023–24 season.
Liverpool’s midfield was at times last season criticized for being stale and ageing, but it looks the summertime makeover has given the centre of the park some new life.
The Reds trailed Man City by just one point at the half and will head to the Etihad on Saturday lunchtime in search of a win that would vault them to the top of the standings.
After the international break, they will play again at 12.30 p.m., but it seems Klopp’s much-changed team has plenty of energy to handle the challenging turnarounds!
