Liverpool over the last 2-3 seasons have found a way to play very direct football, getting it wide or into the front 3 at speed. Super entertaining and a winning formula too.
To a degree though, Liverpool seem to have been found out now. Since Watford beat them 3-0 to end their long winning run last season, they are a shadow of what they were. Since the watford game they have played 39 games winning 18 drawing 9 and losing 12. They were hit by Van Dyke's long term injury, but "one man" shouldn't have that sort of huge effect on a Premier team.
Perhaps. But I think a two European Cup finals, and consecutive season going close to 100 points is pretty damn successful, even if it can’t be maintained for more than 2 or 3 seasons.
I don’t think West Ham played ‘hoof ball’. Geoff Pike who must have been about 50 on the course would show us how to play the long pass...bloody brilliant. He would start with a straight pass, which he said would ‘do’ to get the ball forward to a teammate on the run. Then he showed how he would prefer a long pass with curve to spin the ball into the path of the same running team mate. The ball never left the ground.

..... it’s the ‘under control’ bit we need to work on!
