Not at our best but 2-0 after an international break against a tricky Everton. If Liverpool or Arsenal won like that we would be saying that’s what champions do. Some people are so hard to please haha

It depends if Liverpool click. There is no denying they are full of talent but it’s just not working for them at the moment.We have every chance. Think it will end up being between us and Arsenal personally.
Agree we are a big chance though

It's going to be City v Arsenal. I can only see City getting stronger as the season progresses.

We’re top at the moment so it looks more likely than after 3 games.Seems increasingly unlikely…

I would agree on the individual talent side of things but some of their new stars are struggling with the pace of the league and their established ones are slowing down, and lastly, and most importantly, I believe their dip in performance (as they haven’t looked remotely good even when they win this season) is purely down to the Klopp era subsiding and now we are truly seeing what Slot is bringing… which at this moment in time looks like a huge step backwards. Arse still favourites for me, but there could be joy for us if we keep in touch.

Last season we dropped 16 points in the games we've played so far, this season we've dropped 8 - half as many. We just need to keep being better than we were last year and we will be there come the end of the season. Focus on our own results, not anybody else's.

Like Foden said though he and the team have been working on releasing Haaland. Hes’s the best goal scorer around so it makes sense to gear the the team that he gets most of the chances. Yes it would be better if our wide men and attacking midfielders could get a few more but I’m sure they will start going in for some them through the season.There is no one scoring other than Haaland. Once Foden/Cherki/Marmoush find their shooting boots, then we've as good a chance as anyone.

Thanks for explaining that to me…We’re top at the moment so it looks more likely than after 3 games.
That’s all we can ask for and aim for. Improve on what we dished up last season and hope our injury record is much better. See where that leaves us come crunch-time.Last season we dropped 16 points in the games we've played so far, this season we've dropped 8 - half as many. We just need to keep being better than we were last year and we will be there come the end of the season. Focus on our own results, not anybody else's.
I feel like I have no real idea how good this team is yet. At times in the first half today (and at various stages through the season so far) we played like we’d been sniffing glue pre-game, at other times through the game (especially second half) we cut Everton open with top class play and looked like we could have scored a bag full.
It’s all a bit schizophrenic.
Individuals are playing well and others aren’t. Donnarumma, Haaland, Foden, O’Reilly, Nunes are all playing well. But even with that, we haven’t really looked like we’ve clicked as a new unit yet. Reijnders hasn’t settled, Nico looks really good in spells but lacks confidence in himself to make a forward pass that’s on at others, wingers look good one minute but look like they couldn’t score in a brothel the next (although Håland was guilty of that today as he missed chances that were easier to score than the header he did score!)…
The points situation is the same n’all. What do we take from it? We’re looking alright points-wise, as you say, compared to last season’s corresponding games; conversely, the 2-points a game we have so far this season would only see us finish on 76-points come the end of the season.
No idea!
Just going to enjoy it and see what happens.

Don’t know a couple more games and it will be a rough quarter of the season, they already have more points than their performances merit. It will be us or arsenal.Scousers will come good, just going through a rough patch.
Yes, pretty sure they'll return to form.Scousers will come good, just going through a rough patch.

The first two months of the season are great at creating a false illusion of what a team is actually capable of. There are teams that look like they have it all worked out, and there's some that look like a group of strangers. Experience tells me that by May those two can swap places. The reason for that is the old truism that form is temporary but class is permanent - and it's often difficult to tell between the two in October.
That is why for me the most important thing I look for at this point in the season is not the performance or even the results, it's solidity, it's our defensive record since Donnarumma joined. Conceding 2 goals in 5 Prem games, 4 in 8 in all competitions - the best defensive record of any team over that time. That's a necessary foundation for a great team, and one we didn't have last year.
I think we have a great squad and some players that are still acclimatising, and there's no guarantee all of those players will be good enough. But if Reijnders, Cherki, Nico G, Ait-Nouri and a few others can find more consistency (and stay fit), then come Feb-Mar I have no doubts that we'll be back somewhere between good and great.
