Liverpool's Biggest Concern & Solution: Not Dany, Not Hendo

10 premier league wins in a row and for now there is no one stopping Liverpool as three points against Citizens mean that Reds are in pole position to win the title.
However, the scenario perhaps remains the same for every team, may it be Chelsea, Liverpool or Manchester City i.e. win the remaining games to earn the coveted prize.
For Liverpool, the most important game will be in two weeks time against none other than Chelsea. The problem with facing Chelsea is that more than the team, you are up against Jose Mourinho.
Quite possible that Liverpool will be on an eleven game winning run when Chelsea visit Anfield still, only a fool will count Jose out. Manchester City were on an eight game winning run in PL when Mourinho delivered the masterclass at the Etihad Stadium to shock the 2012 champions.
For Liverpool, there is no looking back. More than any other fan/player, captain fantastic Steven Gerrard clearly believes this is his season.
The merseysiders will be without two key stars, Henderson and quite possibly Sturridge but their absence is still not Liverpool’s biggest concern.
Liverpool did brilliantly when Sturridge and Gerrard were both out injured during the month of December and the team was led by the unstoppable Luis Suarez.
Liverpool’s biggest concern ahead is that they are fragile when they invite pressure. Holding on to a lead by parking the bus is something they just do not know how to do. Moreover, in such circumstances, they have counted on luck more than the Red wall of defenders.
The best examples were observed against West Ham, Sunderland and lately versus Manchester City.
Liverpool ripped City apart in the first half. However, in the second, Rodgers’ men stopped the constant pressing and opted to sit back for the counters. From that moment on Liverpool looked like conceding and City did eventually score twice.
Even though, Liverpool had 8-9 players back defending, City were toying with them in their box with little passes and scored the two goals.
In Liverpool’s case, attack is literally the best form of defense, when they do not let the opponents settle. Yes, it is hard to maintain that intensity all game but Liverpool have never come that close to winning the premier league and if not now then when.
Every week, the fans have discovered a new side of Liverpool who did grind out wins in different ways but majority of the times, Reds have won mainly because of their blistering attack.
Liverpool were by no means all dominant (defensive concerns) against the likes of Sunderland, Swansea, Hammers, City, Fulham and even Cardiff scored 3 against them but that brilliant habit of outscoring opponents have earned them top spot for now.
Rodgers was positive and had no fears in playing an attacking lineup against a quality side like City but sitting back is something they are really not good at. Liverpool are on their way to break the goal-scoring PL record, everyone knows what they are good at. Hence, Reds must play to their strengths to not count on luck and others in the premier league title race.
