Robertson and TTA are both pretty high in the number of assists by PL players (though not near KDB). They pump long balls into opponents' boxes, and clearly it has yielded some success. But against Watford cross after cross came to nothing. Are clubs beginning to shut off that supply route?

Does that mean that if their hoofball does n't pay off, they do not have the build-up play that true champions have? Are they a one-hoof pony?

Their main problem against both W Ham and Watford wasn't tactical but physical. In almost every game they can raise the intensity to levels impossible to deal with for most teams. They were lacking in intensity which made them a bit slow and predicatable, and opened up spaces for counter attacks.

The key to Liverpool's succes is superior intensity which helps them suffocate the opposition and dominate in the dying minutes. Since the start of January they are struggling a bit to finish games strongly and the problem seems to have deepened after the break. They could/should have dropped points much earlier: against Spurs, Wolves...even Southampton created many chances at Anfield.

1 defeat in the league and they will start to unravel. Been dominant for 12 months but they’ve looked jaded for 2 months now. Yes they’ve had luck in games and unfortunately we’ve not managed to keep on their coattails because I think they will go flat into the final 3 months.
