In the three seasons in which Brendan Rodgers has been at the helm of Liverpool FC, the club have tended to improve drastically in the second-half of the season.
In 2012-13, the Reds lost just three of their 18 final games of the season, whilst Rodgers led his side to an 11-game winning streak last season - losing just one of their 19 games after Christmas.
Their run-in revival trend has continued into the current campaign, with Liverpool winning seven of their nine league games in 2015, whilst they are unbeaten in their last 12 Barclays' Premier League fixtures.
The Northern Irishman, speaking to the Liverpool ECHO, has insisted that specifically tailored training regimes for his players and psychological work, is the reason behind the Reds' remarkable form down the final stretch of the season.
"My staff and I have a periodised programme set out from day one right the way through the season," Rodgers told the ECHO.
"At any level of work it’s about achieving that progress and improvement.
"The nature of the methodology here and how I develop players, it’s about the individual for me. The needs of the individual and that goes into the collective.
"What happens through our work is that players and individuals improve, When you improve as a collective then you get the gains from that.
"We have a great sports science team here and the boys always have a real high level of fitness. The conditioning of the players is excellent and that helps in the closing months of a season.”
The Liverpool players were forced to battle serious pressure in last year's run-in, as they fought head-to-head with Manchester City for the Premier League title.
Rodgers insisted a large part of the Reds' form was their strong mentality as a group.
"The mental side of it is also very important," he said. "The measure of our game here is based around confidence.
"We go into the pressure situations towards the end of a season and our game is well suited to pressure.
"It’s about using various tools to allow us to find the cause. It’s important to find the cause that motivates players to work.
"For me the second part of the season is massive in terms of tapping into the psychology of players - re-inforcing the commitment to what we’re doing and why we’re here.
"Ultimately, we have an inherent belief in what we do. That combination makes us improve as each day goes on."
But whilst the Reds have been sensational in the second-half of each campaign under Rodgers, they have not always been so good in the first-half. In 2014-15, they averaged just 1.47 points per game before Christmas, which has now improved to 2.50 points per game.
The Liverpool manager has insisted that the explanation behind that lies in the lesser time to coach and train, in addition to heavy fixture schedules.
"If you look at year one, when I came in it was all about putting in place a system and helping individuals to become better," said Rodgers.
"It was a new way of working and it was bound to take some time. It all came together in the second part of the season.
"At the end of my first year here there wasn’t a lot of change. A few additions came in to help the group but we already had the key principles in place.
“We all saw the benefits of that last season as with that improvement and development we nearly won the title. Last summer there were major changes again, so there another period of adjustment.
"We increased the depth of the squad but we lost players and I had to re-define the way of working which took a bit of time.
"But I always said that as this season went on we would get better and that’s proved to be the case. I’ve got great faith in this group and they are working well.
"I hope next season we’ll be in a cycle like my second year here, so we’re able to be in a position to challenge for trophies and compete for the title at the same time."
