Problem is Phil, which players do we have who can do that consistently during a match? Agree with your theory though.

Unfortunately, I’m not actually sure who could, and those who potentially could fulfil the role (Richarlison and DCL) are needed elsewhere.

I think Walcott could play on Sunday as he’s probably the most suited to the role, with his pace and (relative) stamina. We can’t let them play!

They were on the back foot against us, had 2 breakaways, an own goal and a misplaced back pass....on their way down now

Not reckon they'll finish above us?

Quite liked how they've gone about their business this season. Not exactly attractive Football, but not Burnley or Bolton levels of 'pragmatism' either.

Arnold, Robertson and VVD time and time again, game after game given the freedom of the city. Stop these balls at source and teams might have half a chance of cutting out these balls that end up finding the front men.

Wolves pressed them all over the park the other day.
Virgil was falling over etc and the full backs were not getting forward and getting skinned.

It's an idea, but I think it's a channel other managers have thought of closing before. Logically speaking, if you press high on their full backs, we'd have to concede space elsewhere, either between the lines where someone like Firmino is dangerous or on the flanks for Salah and Mane. It's catch 22.

Was just a general question as to where you reckon they'll end up really, as you said you felt they were on the way down.

Bit unusual to see a newly promoted side in the European spots after Christmas, thats all.

Every single one of them. They went away to the club World Cup, extra games, loads of travelling, then came back and ran over the second placed team in the league on their own patch like they were a lower league outfit. The best teams in premier league history haven’t been able to do that as consistently (every single time) as this team. But maybe the likes of Henderson and Milner are just that good and Klopp knows something that managerial geniuses like Ferguson Wenger Mourinho Conte etc. never did.
