Roy Hodgson's troubled spell in charge of Liverpool is - rightly or wrongly - often held up by fans as an example of dark times at Anfield. Such is the lasting memory of his tenure, fans have at times this season used the spell to offer context to others on social media. Saturday's draw with Burnley brought Hodgson's name into the discussion once again as a stat quickly circulated. The numbers point out that Hodgson averaged 1.25 points per game from the 20 league fixtures he managed. Under Slot, Liverpool's past 17 games - dating back to defeat at Crystal Palace in September - has seen an average return of 1.24 points per game.
