We’ve heard often this year that “Liverpool will be back next season.” But why? Why is Mo Salah saying it after Liverpool were well beaten by Manchester City? And is it true?

In his own post-match remarks, Jurgen Klopp referred to City’s “double sixes” and “double tens”. Both he and Guardiola used a box midfield, but in slightly different ways. 
Liverpool’s shape committed bodies to support the high press, while City’s used a flexible 3-2 shape in buildup with both full backs - though mainly John Stones - stepping into midfield.

The 1st half was a tale of BEN high press vs SPO trying to play out, with both teams finding success.
BEN high press had a slight variation depending on whether SPO were trying to play out via their right-hand side (RHS) or left-hand side (LHS) - with exceptions to the rules too

Here's an animation showcasing BEN's high press, including the variations on RHS & LHS.
Plus, an example of their high block. From here the press would be triggered from a backwards SPO pass for example.
Note: these were the most common roles of the BEN high press...
