It's not about passing range. It's about passing speed and the passing area.Are you really lauding Liverpool’s central midfield’s passing range? We’re talking about Jordan Henderson and James Milner. Wijnaldum is quite decent but no better than Herrera and nowhere near Pogba in that aspect.
Quite simply, Liverpool’s front three and overall movement is a million times better than ours. Thus, they get away with playing two grafters in midfield.
Liverpool's midfield on paper is weak - but they get the good deal done because they play quick on the floor passes in front of the attacker.
Whilst everyone goes on blaming the runs of our attackers - do people really think Herrera or Matic are suddenly playing these 'through balls' instead of the ones that we all see that are straight to feet and all about making sure the attacker gets the ball easily with no mistake - even if the attacker has to drop deep to receive them?
The amount of time I see martial & Rashford attempt to make a run but then stop to drop back in to space to receive a ball to feet is crazy.
