Liverpool vs Watford - Premier League (19/20 - Game 17)

[RedReet]

Seen a couple players criticised after yesterday's game. TBH, I don't think anyone played particularly well - the weather (wind), midday kick off, flat atmosphere at Anfield, very busy schedule... all contributing factors. However, we won. So, a bit unfair to criticise any individual player?

Grinding out the wins

One thing that was very noticeable first half was how much we compressed the play

There was a period of about 10 minutes when we had our forward line camped on the edge of their box and our two central defenders were in Watfords half at the edge of the centre circle. There was probably only 15-20 separating the defence and frontline

That is so hard to do

The great teams of the 70s use to try and squeeze the play a lot but I am not sure they condensed it as much as we did on Saturday

The best team I have ever seen squeeze the play like this was Everton 84-86 but I think we shortened it more than even they use to

A few of the closeups seemed to show that the pitch looked quite cut-up and patchy, was this the case or is it just camera closeups causing illusions?

All the games are on the same pitch and it's been wet - I expect it to cut up
