????. Likely would mean much better than a 50/50 chance. You don't really understand probability if you truly believe this.They're better equipped to play against the big teams than the small teams.
Face it, Liverpool play great football and started this season in blistering form.
I hope they don't win the league but it's looking likely that they will.
Once the Europa games start coming thick and fast Chelsea will start dropping points too often. That competition is a killer.I find it so funny that regular football fans need a couple of more weeks to realize that we are biggest favorites for winning title.

Wrong thread. Click search, check "search titles only", type in "delusional" and you should find the right one too.I think if we get in Zidane as soon as possible this season, we'll have the boost and motivation to challenge for the league. And then January he could buy the players needed to bolster the squad.
I disagree. It's three games in. They've had an easy start. They didn't play amazing football on Monday or yesterday. Soon they will gave tougher teams and will also have midweek CL games.They're better equipped to play against the big teams than the small teams.

Yeah I think it's fair to say that we'd have expected maximum points after those 3 games. However, not many predicted City to drop points at Wolves yesterday, or for United to lose at Brighton last week. So football doesn't always pan out the way you expect it to. We were very slow starters last season & only took 8 points from our first 5 games. Our consistency & performance level only really increased once we got into October & the midweek matches started coming thick & fast, so I don't think the CL games will have too much of a negative impact on us. It'll probably fire us up if anything. OK, the performances, as of yet, haven't been mind-blowing, but I think we all know there's a lot more to come once the team - especially the front 3 - start to click. & I'm pretty sure they will. Maybe not to the extent they did last season, but hopefully we won't need them to as we seem to have a better balanced team & a much stronger bench than this time last year.I disagree.

It's not looking likely that they will win the league after 3 games. All you can say is that they have done what they had to and won the games that they should be winning.
Completely fair. My main point is in trying to calm down hysterical United fans who seem to want to concede the title to Liverpool after 3 games.Yeah I think it's fair to say that we'd have expected maximum points after those 3 games.

When you consider we are at home and Spurs have a poor record at Old Trafford, I’ll only be happy with 3 points. Our next game against a top 6 teams isn’t until the 20th October (Chelsea), so it would be great to get a win under our belt now to instil confidence within the team to hopefully go on a run.I would like to know if you guys will be happy with a draw tomorrow against Tottenham.
Such a weird foul as well. Raking the studs down the calf, seen worse given for that.Silly yellow card by Capoue so early.
Aye, was in front of the ref, could have been worse.Such a weird foul as well. Raking the studs down the calf, seen worse given for that.
What did he do or not do against Liverpool?How is Benteke still getting games after that shitshow against Liverpool?
AgreedAwful tackle by Capoue. Bordering on a red.
Yep. Horrible tackle.Zaha being targeted
That Capoue foul deserved a red, hate fouls like that
How long have you got?What did he do or not do against Liverpool?
'We don't need VAR'So lucky not to get sent off
Absolute shocker, disgusting foul from Capoue and then Zaha gets booked from something innocuous.Zaha being targeted
That Capoue foul deserved a red, hate fouls like that
Two absolutely fantastic ones pretty much spoilt by bentekeTownsend has put in a couple of delicious crosses so far this game.
Enjoyable game so far.
Fair enough. I call it selective pressing. Klopp pulled off a master stroke bringing on Henderson predicting Brighton would come out of their shell and putting more steel in midfield. Both sides had two big chances: Mane and Salah (goal) first half, Knockaert and Groß second half, but Liverpool had a handful of half chances. Brighton conceded territory and possession as expected.Don't really watch us play, do you ? We press high and in phases. It results mostly with us being extremely proficient with possession, especially against teams who sit back. After Coutinho left last season, we actually scored more goals and became defensively solid. The 'orchestrator' is the system. Firmino drops deep, then Mane plays 10, then Salah plays CM (today). All 3 are capable of key passes and releasing the other 2. Plus, Keita and Wijnaldum look like massive improvements from last season's midfield. Creatively, we do not have a problem.
