Despite his great play in the CoC, he has been getting more inconsistent and been relying on his matchplay more rather than deadly long potting and precise position, like Higgins in his later years.
Not you Skull Many were saying decline after Ronnie lost to MJW at IC and Ronnie proved them wrong.
Ronnie loves to rpove people wrong so he'll do t again.
I've Higgins was considered in decline in 2011, despite winning lots because he couldn't play his old game anymore and was relying more on his experience and matchplay than his sheer ability. Looking at that, you could say about Ronnie. He does put in the odd performance when he's spectacular but he seems to be play a lot more ordinarily now and he has been breakbuilding less than he used since the Worlds at least. I'm not saying he won't win, just that performances like that will be more common from now.
PS I've been thinking this since midway through the UK where he was distinctly Higgins-like.
