They used the software to 'guide' their search for a replacement for Steven Naismith. Despite mixed fortunes for Critchley in his two spells as Blackpool boss either side of an ill-fated stint at QPR, Hearts sporting director Graeme Jones described him as 'the outstanding candidate based on the analytics' after he was appointed on a two-and-a-half-year deal yesterday.

What Ashworth's intended to do at Newcastle would take longer than he anticipated, and some of the things he hoped to influence were beyond his reach. He has not been granted the keys to the kingdom.

The Reds defeated Newcastle 2-1 in what was a close match that culminated in a melee after the 20-year-old's late finish. Scenes from BT Sport showed members from both teams being held back, as well as a member of Liverpool's bench making gestures and a bottle being thrown from a member of Newcastle's bench toward the home dugout.
