[@ObshloLongju]

Unless it's a piece of media associated with the club, I feel like there isn't that much positive talk coming Liverpools way. Always seems like people forget that Liverpool have been fighting for trophies on multiple fronts for the last few years. They'll praise Arsenal to the hills and always have kind things to say on City's behalf, but not so much for the Reds.

[@evan8654]

True, but it almost looks like Slot is coaching the team to just survive the first half and then dominate at the end when everyone's tired.

[@KiloPage777]

​@@evan8654 no. There's too many games. The foreign players in the team have had to play many matches without training because their games requiring 16 hour flights. There will be disjointed play as a result. McAllister looks to be suffering the most of anyone. It's why Diaz sometimes does not start after being brilliant, om that case Gakpo is always more rested than he is. There's just too many games and unlike with Klopp, Slot requires the team to be relaxed. It is hoped we will have less injuries. Before we'd play up and down and then concede because we are open and rhen panick even more and concede again. Now, we concede and couldn't be bothered because we will win the game eventually.

[@bordercollie1140]

Regarding the Liverpool haven't played anyone yet theory, our last 4 premier-league games have been Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton and Villa and we've won 3 and drawn the other. Chelsea can beat anyone on their day and have a really good chance of top 4, Arsenal have been runner's up in the past 2 seasons and were/are a lot of people's choice to win the league, Brighton are an excellent side who are currently in a really good run of form and have just beaten the reigning champions yesterday and Villa who are an excellent side with a great manager. So I would have no hesitation in saying that these are definitely not nobody sides and we've taken 10 points from a possible 12 in the 4 games. We've also beaten Bournemouth who've beaten Arsenal and City, plus Brentford who are a really well managed team and are definitely no walkovers. Also as bad as United have been there's no way they can be as bad when Amorim takes charge and suddenly playing them away could easily turn into a very hard game and we've already been there and gotten the 3 points, and City and Arsenal both have to go there and it's definitely not gonna be as easy as Liverpool made it look. Our only defeat was against a very well organised Forest team who have definitely earned their 3rd place position in the league. So to anyone who still thinks that Liverpool have played no one yet, you either know f-all about football or you're lying through your jealous teeth. Hopefully Slot can do what Paisley done, in terms of the apprentice outdoing the teacher and I'm cautiously optimistic that's gonna be the case. I can see Slot bringing in a ruthless streak, where by with City losing earlier in the day and really needing to win to capitalise on these rare City slip ups that's exactly what we're doing. Hell of a long way to go but I don't think even the most optimistic lfc fan could have hoped for such an unbelievable start to the season.

[@classiccafe4128]

I am the Liverpool fun who thought it would be exactly as it is the moment pre-season finished. What the EPL has not yet understood is that Slot tactics fit the defensive and attacking skillset of the Liverpool players like a glove so much so that Liverpool nolonger need to play well to beat any team. His exploitation of zone 14 using goal scoring 8s and a 9 nullify our former Achilles heal of low blocks, Gravenbruch's press resistance and Macca's game reading nullify the midblock but if you decide to go toe to toe then you have to deal with the pace of Salah in behind which has proved to be challenging for most teams and if you stop all 3 like AC Milan did in the UCL. VVD and Konate on their day can do you on a corner or TAA with a free kick. Liverpool is the most dangerous side in the EPL but most are just blind to this fact in the here and now. I expect this team to hit its pick in december and Jan when Jota and Elliot are added to the attacking options but truely believe the wildcard will be Chiesa in the last few tight games of the season.

[@charlesfinster4893]

You'll fall off eventually, not winning games decisively enough. One goal wins will only be sufficient for so long, it's unsustainable.

[@bordercollie1140]

[@bordercollie1140]

@charlesfinster4893 being a fan of a football team obviously brings downers but it's main attraction is that optimistic feeling that your team is gonna win something big, so if Liverpool fans were optimistic about winning 4 trophies that we ultimately didn't win, so what? A true fan knows that that's what it's all about. I'm in my early 50s so I've seen way more than my fair share of trophies. 6 European cups isn't far off every single club in England put together's total. We dream big because we've done it all before and will again. Not a peep out of you about who you support. Doesn't really matter because they'll be behind Liverpool's success anyway. Best club, best fans and biggest trophy cabinet.

[@nigl2807]

At moment we are top because Slot has been willing to change the tactics in second half of games we are either having issues with or just not getting it done in first half. He is a tactical tweaker (for the good). Lets see how he continues for the next ten week and see if teams "find out" then get found out again

[@Eldriitch]

Yeah Slot looks very promising especially if he can find a system that *really* works for Liverpool. On the other hand, I could see a situation where instead of Liverpool looking like they won the league, Man City look like they lost it -- If they can't stabilize without Rodri and can't find the consistency that is synonymous with Guardiola's football, they have to find some other way maintain the point return needed to stay at the top. In that case, Slot doesn't have to get it completely right every time. But as with all things we can only wait and see how it plays out.

[@damedusa5107]

He’s not really changing tactics much at all in second half. Just more wholesale personal in key positions. It’s a good thing. Liverpool and getting a little luck here and there. But they are making their own luck. Will be up there at the end.

[@chubs2312]

​@@Eldriitchfor city to comeback from here it will be hard. If they make it to January within touching distance maybe they can save their title shot with a couple of signinings in the middle. That's if they make it. I'm saying this because they look a lot like Liverpool 22/23. The usual star players just seem a tad slower and less sharp. It happens with age and maintaining a full 90 of pressing and staying on top of the opposition gets harder and harder every week.

The next 3 games are big for Liverpool. Southampton could be tricky given they have to pick up points some time, and we might take our eye off them with Real Madrid rolling into town before City the following week. However, Liverpool could win all three and if they do I think they have to be favourites for the title. I know it’s still early but the only reasons Joe and JJ could give for Liverpool not being favourites were basically “City are City” and “Vibes man, vibes”. JJ is internally screaming “HE CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!” every time Slot gets 3 points, but can’t explain why beyond, “he’s the same as Ten Hag, it shouldn’t work.”

[@talisa222]

Watching this just after City's Brighton result. Great stuff. However, (as a Liverpool fan) if I'm trying to be reasonable. Think of how Liverpool are being spoken about this season, the papers and pundits can't stop raving about Slot. Now think of how City are being spoken about now they've just lost to Brighton. It's "crisis club" talk. And yet, there's only 5 points difference.

[@Orewastaken]

I mean those opinions are moreso talking on an overall scale than purely a premier league one. I doubt people would be this wild over slot if it weren't for scoring 4 goals on leverkusen in one half, and same thing for City flopping if it weren't for losses against sporting in the champions league and spurs in the carabao cup(or was it fa cup idr)

[@patokev3691]

FC Noah's manager said they weren't going to "park the bus" which was a joke since he and Mourinho are both Portuguese. They had to take a 55 hour bus ride to play that match and they went for it. UEFA should have paid there plane ticket. They make plenty of $ from the sport and keeps creating more and more games for more and more money.

[@modestbukowski]

Yes, City usually have a slump. But they usually don't have to go all season without Rodri. Add to that they have a quite aged starting XI with Walker, KDB, Gundogan, Kovacic etc. It might be that Pep have run its course at City. Same thing happened at Liverpool with Klopp in the end. We'll see if Liverpool can rotate and save players better more so there's anything left in the tanks towards the last 8 games. I think Slot's more controlling football is better suited for just that. But we'll see. Liverpool were top of the league at Christmas too. It doesn't mean anything at this stage.

yeah i think destiny want liverpool won premier league. PGMOL, rodri injury, liverpool playing under ten hag on OT while other team playing against amorim, idont know if he is good but man utd under new manager always good

JJ with the Nightman lyrics shirt

[@jobloreviews]

Will these be going up on The Athletic app as a podcast?

[@richardboldbrooker6327]

How come on the front montage of managers you don't have Slot? And was that a picture of Amorim on the front, a manager who isn't at MUFC for another month?

[@GravelordWrust]

Top tier t-shirt, JJ.

[@shengyi1701]

I like the thumbnail click-bait. They certainly forgot to Slot someone in. YNWA or You’ll Never Slot Alone😂

[@Tyr195]

Man Utd jumping 13 to 6? Come off it. Also, Brighton has played phenomenal against a pretty balanced schedule so far. So how do you have them dropping so far? We have lost to Chelsea and Liverpool and that's it. That would be a monumental streak of losses for us to drop that far.

[@aidan_lol1235]

I'm surprised well known Newcastle fan JJ Bull put Newcastle in 9th

[@poolfans]

13:46 And Arsenal is one of the worst

Joe Devine - Top man

[@cthulhudreams7578]

I do feel like these there (and previousiterations helmed by Joe Devine) do have a pretty unique chemistry. If the concern was not having enough to say i wonder if a reduced release schedule would have worked.

[@njitramsreckeb]

+1 for the Always Sunny Tshirt

[@flare_fortress9268]

Have to say, Wolves seem like the Leicester of two years ago where they have the players that make you think "Yeh they can't get relegated" and then they do and a couple of players go to top clubs like Maddison did. They just seem doomed and O'Neil doesn't have any answers to their problems, which I hate to say because they do play good football most seasons

[@fillipe4700]

The prediction cartel, Joe!

[@T.E.S.S.]

JJ was right

[@Stegibbon]

This is the only media outlet that has said United aren't MASSIVELY underperforming thei xG AND it's the only outlet to not show the data....

[@IrishSnwbrdr]

Still miss Tifo, as much as the quality of this is higher, there’s no discussion of LOTR, Mr skeleton, or random music knowledge. I mean why am I even tuning into this football podcast

[@hughdooley3249]

Joe Devine is the greatest being in the world. Nevermind Jesus or Cole Palmer, Devine is #1 😂

[@SquirrelMaestro]

Please react to this at the end of the season. It’ll be so funny when you have to eat your words about Arsenal😂

[@HungoverHackett]

Newcastle are coming for that top 4 spot and I don’t think anyone can stop up us now

[@luckyman4906]

Oh wow. JJ’s predictions are terrible and lazy. 11 out of 20 teams are lliterally the same as their position from last season. 14 teams moved by 1 position or less. Terrible.

[@steel.oneill]

Incredible editing to focus on The Big Reaction Faces from... whatshisname, the main one

[@derekmooney2771]

That's fine - just keep underestimating Newcastle. Every time they turn over a " big " team its how badly the defeated outfit played. Their form level that murdered PSG is back, with no European football mid week, players STILL to come back from injury ( Botman Lascelles and Trippier ) and potentially serious funds available in January, especially if the PSR farce is resolved in Man City's favour.

[@ribspice1238]

I think people still do underestimate Newcastle, I believe they have a very good chance at top 8 this season

[@ryuukisetsu1338]

They will lose 2-0 against Forest tonight, so yeah, maybe next season for you Toon Army

I hope later in the season we have a "re-re-predicting the EPL"

[@sigzil1985]

What happened with Forest is everyone LAUGHED at our fans when Athletic did a survey and we were the most optimistic fans about our team in August. Pundits are arrogant and never listen to the fans. Fans as a whole know much more about their teams than you do. Maybe learn something from this.

[@ericlamela371]

But pundits are much more objective than fans. Fans are always optimistic and biased towards the team they support.

[@sigzil1985]

@@ericlamela371 In a thing like a survey of fans optimism though the results compensate for bias because it is how optimistic teams' fans are relative to each other. Forest fans knew we had plenty to be optimistic about this season because we have been watching Forest much more closely than any pundit has. They watch highlights and the odd full game on sky.

[@jeanlundi2141]

Lol I'd give you the benefit of the doubt if you Forest fans weren't absolutely flaming Nuno last season, for the most part.
