Their front three is what dragged them up there in the final third of the season. Winning 11 on the trot was something that none of the other Top 4 managed and the other three were in poor form during that period as well. I think their midfield defensively is a shambles, they look great in attack but defensively the midfield offer the back line very little protection
I think other teams will be a lot more cautious against them, they played a ridiculously high risk strategy which worked but as soon as another team put them under pressure they look poor. They struggled against teams who sat deeper and I think more teams will play like that. Like Klaus says with the extra 15 games their squad won't be so well rested and fresh either which definitely helped them keep up their good form. Also whether they can keep Suarez, if R.Madrid are serious he will see that as his last chance for a move and probably push hard for that. A lot harder than he did to join us and

Gerrard had one of his best season with 13 goals, don't think he will be repeating that, and don't think Liverpool will be in the top 3 unless they buy a real top quality central midfielder.
I think one of those goals were in open play, nearly all of the rest were penalties.
