Liverpool will also drop points. However, I’m still tipping City over Liverpool as the main threat.

City may have dropped points today but remember that they can go on a 17-match WINNING run.

Our fate is in our own hands. We’ve started the season well, can we keep going till the end?

City and Liverpool are threats to themselves, not us...I'd consider Chelsea more of a title contender as long as Ole is here...

City not signing a striker will be their undoing come May, 2022...

You've spoken well sir. Today's match against S'oton shows how they'll be short when it comes to getting a striker. I don't know why Pep can be sometimes stubborn with the way he uses his players.

Bookers have placed Manchester United as the fourth best team in EPL because we've two things the club hasn't address - Amaka and DM.

Chelsea is not a contender.

We’ll revisit this in December.

LooL. Look at this balderdash. Chelsea on course to win UCL? You had an easy group and faced an Atletico who plays defensive football.

It’s still early to be an empty barrel.

The cracks in Liverpool’s team are wider than those in City’s.

Rooney:

“I remember once when I got to training the day after a loss, I was still so angry and went into the locker room with Michael Carrick. We found Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba dancing to the music. Our mentality was different than that of the modern players.” https:///HzT5qUJgne

AnfieldFan:


We made Six changes today...What cracks are you talking about??
Defence?
Midfield?
Offence?

patrickmuf:
In relation to us, they are...

adebayo201:

I like Martial though. Not the lazy Tony oh.

TheLequte:


You’ll change your mind soon enough.

patrickmuf:
Are we title contenders?

TheLequte:


I’ve had issues with Martial, even when he “wasn’t lazy”.

He loves receiving the ball to his feet, even when there’s space to exploit.

It’s the same thing I’m starting to see with Graelish at City. If he doesn’t adjust well, it won’t end well for him.

It’s not a crime to want the ball to your feet but you have to be able to read situations and discern when to create more chances with your off the ball movement.

AnfieldFan:


And Liverpool can't go on a long unbeaten run??

Are we title contenders?

TheLequte:


It’s difficult to say at the moment.

Last season we started badly and were topping by December. Then we lost steam and surrendered to City.

We started well this season and Ole has a better squad. With these improvements, the answer to that question should be pretty clear but Ole’s bizarre decisions (or lack of) will make you hesitate.

So, even with those improvements I can’t say, at this point, if we’ll be contenders- mainly because of Ole.

The reason I might think Liverpool and City are contenders at this point is because they’ve done it before. They’ve gone on incredible winning runs. Klopp’s squad is rustier than Pep. That’s why it seems I’m tipping City over Liverpool.

If we had a better coach then we’d be deemed contenders at this point too.

This doesn’t mean we aren’t contenders at all, it only means that things are not clear yet for us. We can still grow into the season, emerge contenders and eventually win it.

TheLequte:


The squad. Older machinery. Needs lots of oil from Klopp. City is shinier. And Pep oils well.
