To be fair, Sherwood thinks Liverpool will win most of those games. And I agree.

What is this narrative that 'Arsenal have been city's closet challengers for years and years'???? Half this Liverpool squad has had 3 title races with city in recent memory, winning 1 and losing 2 by a point.

[@abiolaolayinka2023]

LFC fan here, I don't think they meant years and years. I think they were referring to the past two years, and Arsenal has genuinely been their closest challengers. LFC is still, will always be City's greatest rival, regardless. Hopefully we push for the top this season, aim for the stars and all.

Why is this even a question !!!? Didn't Liverpool, with basically the same squad, fight for the title last season ? Actually they were competing on all fronts last year

It’s exactly that reason. Liverpool effectively spent nothing to reinforce the squad but somehow they look better than expected so no one wants to believe it.

[@SkywalkerXxX]

9 points behind last season wasn't made easy by all those utter nonsense decisions made against Liverpool. Those injuries plus needing to replace the whole midfield that year? Our midfield was brand new last season. Yet we went for a quad up till April under Klopp. He was an excellent manager and left the club at it's best possible way. Unlike others that leave teams that are on their way down

[@SkywalkerXxX]

Most of these idiotic punters never gave Liverpool a chance this season. Yet who sits top of the league? I'm not saying we are winning it. But do not underestimate Liverpool. We don't have the best players in the league. But we sure as hell have one of the best teams in the league.

[@azeezakeem1699]

I believe if JOTA hasn't been injured, might have done better than thid.

[@DarthVader-j2i]

We actually were top of the league for longer than any other team. We were top up till week 32 in April. We were playing with so many injuries by then. Got knocked out of the FA Cup and Eufa Cup in April. Drew against Man U, losses against Everton.. It was a bad end. But up till then, ur right, we were playing for a quad

@@PaganMin-1966 It's not just about beating the big teams, you have to beat everyone. It's not like you get more points for beating City or Arsenal, you only get 3. What you actually have to do is be the most consistent team, that's how Liverpool won the league under Klopp.

Pretty much a ten point swing. Both city and Arsenal gained two points each from the ref decisions against Liverpool.

[@SkywalkerXxX]

Total bunch of pratts

[@Robert-ks5ix]

When you considered the handball against arsenal and the penalty against city and the Luis Diaz goal against spurs not being given easy cost Liverpool an extra 5 points and Arsenal and City an extra two points. Basically a 7 point swing which would have had them a lot closer.

[@DarthVader-j2i]

​@@Robert-ks5ixdon't forget the odegaard basketball, Doku playing kungfu. So many instances. We lost so many points due to incompetent refereeing early in the season. Yet we were top in week 32. Top longer than any other team. YNWA

As a none PL fan I don't have a house in the race why are they disrespecting Liverpool players like that for 5 years Liverpool push city Liverpool made city better they have 8 players who won the PL& UCL in the squad so they know success, arsenal push city for 2 years won nothing not even a small cup in that 2 years but yet all I see is people in English Media disrespecting Liverpool as a team and pushing this arsenal none winning team like they are prime Barcelona. What am I missing they say arsenal have the best defence in the league when they conceded 2 goals from Leicester. Why do they not just give Liverpool the flowers they deserve

[@SkywalkerXxX]

They just hate Liverpool. Comes with the territory of being the most successful English club ever. Liverpool have the most cups and nobody likes that

[@ComradeOgilvy1984]

​@@SkywalkerXxX Liverpool gets a huge portion of early starts after international breaks. There are three possible explanations: (1) The league is corrupt and is taking out their hate on Liverpool. (2) TV and TV sponsors whose very business is to understand the public see Liverpool as the biggest club in England. (3) Both. I have yet to see anyone come up with a 4th choice.

[@SkywalkerXxX]

@@Willow9478 BTW I'm not joking yeah. You just need to get the stat merchants working. Liverpool are the most watched team in the world probably. Ahead of even Real Madrid and Barcelona.

[@applenuts]

Perhaps the fact arteta gets more points every season and challenged for the title in 2 consecutive seasons while liverpool finished 22 points from top in the 22/23 season and 9 points last season with an elite manager who's left them and they've made no major signings in the summer🤷‍♂️ Why would anyone think liverpool can beat both arsenal and city to the title?

[@Robert-ks5ix]

​​@@applenutsArsenal are just a nugget club that doesn't win anything when the "challenge" Liverpool have won more trophies over the last two years than Arsenal have. Ask any city fan they would much rather be in a title race against Arsenal than they would Liverpool. Arteta been at Arsenal for 5 years and only finished above Liverpool twice, hardly ever season like you claimed it to be so stop chatting shite.

[@cronersam]

Gary Neville's opinion does not matter cause his is pure rubbish. He cannot accept the fact that Liverpool is on top. These guys are under illusion that Arsenal is a contender and Liverpool is not because its Slot. Remember Arteta have not won anything in the league as a manager except for 1 FA cup in last 6 seasons. Slot has won league title in Holland and he has the experience of winning a league. They are 2 contrast and yet people think Arteta can win. Come on guys. We'll see at the end of the season.

[@TR4zest]

The fixtures in the month after the International break will show where we stand.

[@brooklynblack9015]

This channel ask the same damn question every week Liverpool wins 🤦🏿‍♂️😂😂

[@PolishScouser74]

Let them keep asking...we'll just keep marching on.

[@magicbuddha7243]

LFC will beat Leverkusen, Newcastle, Leipzig, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid and ManCity and remain top of the leagues, both PL and UCL. Why? Because Slot is a tactical genius, with these strong teams LFC can play Slotball at its best, LFC squad is equally strong as these teams and Slot already prepared the bench in such a way LFC base team is almost the entire squad. These analysts do not see what is truly happening. Without Rodri and MBAPPÉ both Real Madrid and ManCity are not unbeatable at the moment. Arsenal lost against LFC during preseason when Arsenal was at full strength and LFC lineup consisted mainly of youngsters. Besides, except for Newcastle and Chelsea, the other top teams also play a big match every 3-4 days for 6-8 consecutive weeks. The injury risk is comparable. As a football fan Oct-Nov fixtures are a privilege. You would want to see the best against the best.

[@jordandavis3867]

[@mikedon5205]

As a Liverpool fan myself I Don't see us winning the title to be honest unless the injured chiesa turns out to be messi 😂 Fact is Liverpool have stood still in the transfer market and its a team that is ageing in some areas

[@Royston2001]

@@mikedon5205 you might be right but just a few things to dismiss Liverpool before we are even a quarter of the way through while we are top of the table is disrespecting Liverpool, we might or we might not win the prem but I wouldn’t have some southern monkeys telling us that we are not good enough to win. As some other comments have said about refs last season put us at a disadvantage plus we have players that have won the prem and know how to win, arsenal don’t have anyone and to say they are more likely is just shows a lack of intelligence, arsenal have a lack of squad depth and more likely to have to play the 2 extra UCL games… dismissing Liverpool is to early.

[@applenuts]

If liverpool are so good and better than arsenal then why have they finished 17 points behind them in the 22/23 season, 7 points last season and not beat them in 4 league games now??? Arsenal have improved a lot and liverpool have stagnated.

[@Fonetiker]

@@applenuts I guess you have the memory of a banana fly or the bias of slave owners in blue. LFC would have beaten Arsenal last year if Ødegaard wasnt allowed to lead the ball with the hand in the box. If you then adjust for the stolen 3 points against Spurs (refs who could not communicate) and 2 points robbed for allowing Doku to kungfu kick in MacAlisters chest. LFC would have beaten Arsenal with two points, only loosing out in the title on goal difference. But you know, that dont fit your troll agenda.

They are title contenders since Kloop arrived. They are continuously buying and either Kloop or the current Managers are really good. Liverpool and Arsenal are battling with City for I would say, a decade, and Liverpool took one EPL title in the process. However, I believe this season, despite their strong squad, other teams are joining the race: chelsea and Spurs. They are playing really well. City must be worried, otherwise can be out of top 4. Believe me. Anyone can win this season, even ManUtd.

Liverpool were top for most of last season by the way. Major reason why Liverpool fell off is because they couldn't finish their dinner. (clear chances) Should of beat Man utd, should of beat Crystal palace, should of beat Everton, should of beat West ham, should of beat Aston villa, should of had a last minute penalty to beat Man city. Had liverpool won them games, they'd be champions, so liverpool only had themselves to blame. Hopefully Liverpool have learned their lesson.

[@Fonetiker]

You forgot that they were robbed of 3 against Spurs (Refs incapable of communicating), 2 against Arsenal (Ødegaard feeling up and leading the ball in the box) and 2 against ManC (Doku kungfu kicking MacAlister in the chest). Those three mega blunders alone would have made LFC equal on points with ManC, and then you can speak of all the hopeless draws.

[@mully5639]

[@deeestuary]

Let’s not have unrealistic expectations. Top four place will be excellent for a new manager, anything else will be a huge bonus.

[@ComradeOgilvy1984]

Top four would be a significant feather in Slot's cap, IMHO. I just do not see it as likely that a 6 person first team midfield roster can grind through a 38 game marathon season without dropping in form. I said that at the beginning of last season, when Liverpool started the season with only 6 healthy midfielders. Sure enough they had a couple injuries in midfield, and the remaining midfielders became fatigued and had some off games, causing the team to drop points. I am expecting much the same this season. Slot may be easier on the players' legs than Klopp, but I doubt it will be very different by the end of season. That is what it is, and that is on FSG, not Slot or the players on the team. Let's be realistic. Klopp had 8-11 midfielders on his roster when the team was playing well (and even had a large roster during some seasons that went poorly).

[@namcloudinvestments769]

[@garethmackinnon6782]

This Liverpool team seem slot different we either win or lose no more draws

[@octagonmixltd]

It's not a factor of whether klopp made everything easy for Slot, it's a matter of Liverpool management transitioning well as a club by sourcing for a coach who has the profile almost similar to Klopp's and that can equally keep up the existing configuration of the squad with just a little tweak. Slot has been good at his job so far, and I'll say, don't underestimate Liverpool as contenders and probably winning the price every season from now.

As a Liverpool supporter, it’s too early to be having this conversation. He has had a good start but the truth is that we will lose more games this season and if they are against teams from the lower end of the table, that will create pressure for him. It could fall apart very quickly. In some of our games, there have been points where the momentum had shifted away from us and he hasn’t been decisive with changes. If we start losing those games, he will come under more scrutiny. I like what I see but I’m not excited nor expecting too much. Early days.

If Liverpool are top the end of January and manage to avoid too many injuries it's possible but this moment it's not really a discussion that can be had any sense .

Are Liverpool Premier League title contenders this season? I think they definitely are at the moment. Obviously that could well change as we get into November and the fixtures begin to come thick and fast. But if they can reach February or March without really losing too much ground then they definitely have a chance. However, i would be looking to sign at least 2 players in January. 1) a defensive midfielder and definitely not Martin Zubimendi. 2) a good quality centre back.

The only question mark about slot is consistency and the mentality, football wise he’s proven he can win the league with great results so far, going to old trafford and winning 3-0 will make the players think they can beat anyone, forest was a reality to check maybe he got a bit too arrogant in terms of the game plan etc. but the football is great and he has the players to do it

[@geesaprashanth]

I wouldn't say a thing until Slot can go half the league with the same intensity. If I remember correctly Spurs were leading after 10 games and unbeaten but got derailed. Stop judging quickly, it could be beginner luck or the beginning of something special.

9 points off it in a transition season is not much lol. Granted this year we will have CL football to contend with but with Arne in charge.... I definitely think we can put a title charge on.

[@aaronthompson7330]

Uh, yes. We’re one of the three best teams in the PL, and are head and shoulders above the other 17.

[@AJFarr.]

it’s always been liverpool and city

[@Mcqlfc]

Typical anti Liverpool by the media. Why have Man C won the league with astronomical points over the years? Because Liverpool were on their heels all season. Not Arsenal!

[@andybown68]

These guys are totally clueless. Arsenal with Arteta have only won an FA Cup, but people throw them flowers all the time.

[@phillipmukama6796]

Liverpool are in the title race honestly

[@themuppetshow2332]

The media are bursting trying to make the 90's again with Arsenal and Man utd. It's all about getting the prem back to London. WHAT HAVE VARSENAL WON IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, GO ON NAME IT SKY! As someone already said here they hate Liverpool but as a famous Liverpool legend once said "I would love it if we beat them"

[@tamilmaran7067]

Good that you guys don't put Liverpool as title contender. Liverpool love it.

[@collindenny1123]

Love when you count us out!

[@bilcyfer]

Let’s ignore that if LFC games were officiated properly LFC would have won the league 10points clear. Arsenal played Basketball and City played MMA both to draw LFC. But yeah “Liverpool are far off from last szn”

[@MattMajcan]

World-renowned coach Tim sherwood who famously won everything thinks Slot will do well at Liverpool, so it must be true

[@litttlewing]

2 weeks ago after losing to Forrest "NO FCKING CHANCE! AWFUL TEAM!"

[@chibwekapalajnr]

This panel is definitely “special” for thinking Liverpool isn’t a title challenger

[@poolfans]

Arsenal fans already telling the world that they will win the league after beating Spurs away Villa away Drew at City They forget it’s the lesser game they dropped point last season

[@georgem8200]

It's like a game show set.

[@TheFurreid]

ignore these discussions.. we keep to ourselves and continue to support Slot & the boys..

[@profoundexcellence7205]

All i can say as a biased liverpool fan is for City to not let liverpool pull off by 5pounts otherwise its done

[@T4SelNiNO]

Once you see the panel you know the opinions are worthless. Sherwood generally talks sense. I have no idea how the rest even get their jobs as pundits

[@peace4peaceful]

I thought they would be last season. Then Klopp hijacked it by saying hes leaving.

[@BiswajitGhosh-pn7tk]

Are these idiots forgot last season Liverpool did not get any penalty for handball against Arsenal and Man City player kicks lfc player in chest. Taking about 9 point gap last season between Man City and LFC.

[@MAESTRO1509]

come back end of the season we"ll win it

[@jdstan9650]

This Arsenal squad have won absolutely nothing...but these prats treat them like world beaters!

[@MercyBwanali-y4t]

Liverpool❤❤

[@thedude9417]

Why do they insist on pronouncing his name wrong every time they mention him? It's Arne, not Arnie...

[@jakerobinson8325]

Will the media and pundits do one putting unnecessary pressure on slot and the team we are 6 games in

[@Fonetiker]

To say they lagged 9 points last year is ignorant. LFC lost 3 points by incompetence against Spurs (refs not able to communicate), they were robbed of 2 points against when Ødegaard was leading the with his hand in the box, and a further 2 points when Doku were allowed to kung-fu kick Macalister in the chest in the box. If you look at these facts LFC didnt lag behind, but beat Arsenal and were held from the title by ManC on goal difference.

[@GloryAbiodun-w4z]

I hate excuse givers
