The number of murders recorded in London dropped to its lowest level per capita since records began. There were 97 homicides in the capital in 2025, down 36 per cent from 153 in 2019. 2025 saw a homicide rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people - safer than comparable global cities such as New York at 2.8, Paris (1.6), Toronto (1.6), Berlin (3.2), Los Angeles (5.6), Chicago (11.7), and Philadelphia (12.3).
NEW: 93 murders in London (pop: ~9m) in 12 months to October.
The city's murder rate is now lowest for decades; perhaps centuries. https://t.co/T0o7Q0bgVw
@DistanceCovered@TheAnfieldWrap A shame you deleted your reply to me on this now it hasn't played out as you thought - its fine to be wrong once in a while, every pundit is
@DistanceCovered@TheAnfieldWrap We’ll get better wherever he plays no argument there.
But ‘attacking game’ is shots (and xg obv) as graham said.. here you’re taking the highest xg player off the pitch and replacing him with an AM. When you could just upgrade production from
the AM position what’s the upside ?
@DistanceCovered@TheAnfieldWrap Jota was at 0.6 npxg in the league last season - not remotely Wirtz’s game … we’d be paying 100+ million to remove shots/production from the side
@MouglasDark@DistanceCovered Yeah this is a nonsense
The percentile refers to other attacking mids and other forwards respectively - so for example firmino was a >0.4 npxg forward .. Wirtz is 0.25 npxg AM etc
You can’t overlay them and claim they’re the same
What you’ve posted is a chart crime
@djh1203@DistanceCovered Slots just done an interview in which he says we need to rotate more
We won’t be playing our record signing out of position to accommodate others - and he wouldn’t have come if that was the plan
Agree you can play him off the left - he’ll always have attackers in front of him
@djh1203@DistanceCovered Well if we’ve signed peak Messi it’ll fine I agree.
Wirtz is closer to a midfielder than a 9 .. he’s neither obv but he’s more peak Paul Gascoigne plus work rate than firmino or dembele. You’d never play him without fowards in front of him to feed
@MouglasDark@DistanceCovered attacking mid template vs forwards template - can’t work out if this is willfully disingenuous or if you don’t understand what you’re posting ?
