There is a big difference in Liverpool's game at this point in this and last season of the Premier League. Where they have big problems this season, and at the time of writing are in sixth place, last season they were almost invincible and led the league superbly. It was especially their intense and loud press play that did wonders. Exactly that game they have been missing this season, where they have not been able to live up to the level last season at all. Former French star striker Thierry Henry looks back on it and says he got tired just looking at it:

The intensity and the rhythm that is in the Premier League is really high. When you see Liverpool play, just by watching them you get tired. They move so fast. When you go to Manchester City before you have time to look up, there is pressure on you. If you control the ball, then there are already three men around you, says Thierry Henry to the French TV channel Canal Plus.

Thierry Henry believes that the intensity of the Premier League has become higher than when he played. He also highlights that Liverpool this season have lacked the intensity they had last season. It can also be seen in the table, where at the time of writing they are in sixth place with 16 points up to Manchester City in first place.
