Liverpool couldn’t have requested for a greater begin to life beneath Arne Slot, with three wins out of three to this point and nil targets conceded up up to now.
Nonetheless, one former Anfield defender isn’t satisfied that the Reds are ‘prepared’ to mount a severe problem for the Premier League title this season, as a substitute anticipating one other straight shootout between Manchester Metropolis and Arsenal.
Talking on ESPN FC about what he’s seen of LFC to this point this time period, Steve Nicol mentioned: “I’m a bit of stunned, I’ve gotta say. I didn’t assume they’d be fairly so easy. Apart from the primary half in opposition to Ipswich, they’ve been actually easy.
“I believe it’s a bit of early to say they’re gonna be competing for the title, to be frank with you. As we converse it’s between Metropolis and Arsenal, however the three you’ve talked about are completely no query away from the remainder.”

The Scot added: “So far as Liverpool are involved, they’re trying good and all people thinks that they’re gonna compete, however I’m not fairly prepared but to have them as title contenders. No query for the highest 4, although – I believe they’ll be fairly comfy.”
We agree with Nicol when he says that it’d nonetheless be a bit too early to count on Liverpool to be firmly within the Premier League title combine come April and Could, however we positively couldn’t have requested for any extra from Slot’s staff so far.
A frightening run of fixtures between mid-October and the tip of November is once we’ll really discover out what the Reds are made from, and if we will come by that sequence of video games high of the desk or inside arm’s attain of the summit, then the narrative would change.
Till then, we simply want to take care of the degrees we’ve proven to this point and care for every particular person problem because it comes.
