Attacking fullbacks, making a vital contribution with crosses and overlapping runs, have long been a part of the modern game across the world.
Klopp's pressing style relies on his attacking players being able to close down the opposition central defence and his midfield shutting down passing routes for opponents trying to play out from the back. With the ball, the advanced positions of Robertson and Alexander-Arnold create overloads in wide areas where Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah operate in the inside channels.
Alexander-Arnold is ranked fourth in the league for crosses with Robertson sixth but the assists are by no means limited to balls whipped in from wide. But while Guardiola first tried that approach with Fabian Delph, providing some extra defensive solidity, Cancelo has become a key creator. “It comes from Germany. When you lose the ball they kill you on the counter attack when our fullbacks were wider," he said.
