ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Itls a myth that needs calling out that they play football on the deck. There's no one in the media prepared to shout out about the emperor's new clothes.

They spent years under Klopp spamming long balls over the top to Salah and Mane hoping the opponents defence would panic and it worked. Their midfield was packed with workhorses. They do seem to struggle themselves though when a team is more direct.

...and Benitez, and Rodgers.

Gerrard to Torres; Gerrard to Suarez; and now "Trent" to Salah/Diaz.

They're the most obvious example of long ball direct play among elite clubs.

No question about that but the media will avoid pointing it out to maintain a myth.
