Yep; definitely an opportunity missed.What really frustrates me apart from the loss, which let’s be honest, we’re not used to, is, City could be 8 points in-front of Arsenal now had we beaten Bournemouth, and pretty much dealt a massive blow to Arsenal’s title hopes.

No need to panic guys and gals. We’re not even half way through the season yet. Give them time. :-)!

Don’t think it’s Arsenal to worry about, it’s the dippers. They ain’t losing games and look in better shape than we do at the moment. That trip to Anfield got a whole lot important at the beginning of December.
One point w
One point worse off that at the same point last year. Hardly a disaster thoughSomeone said it’s our best start for 5 years

They're not all that. They're scraping it. Brighton were the better team for much of the match yesterday.
Of course, they could scrape it right through to the end of the season. But they're not that unstoppable juggernaut of 2018-2022 or so (which, by the way, we nevertheless stopped, except for one season). One bad injury to either Salah or Van Dijk would fuck them. May not happen, and I don't wish it on them, but still.
Nobody's great. The season's still very open.

Recency bias. Arsenal are the better team and it will show over the course of the season. Would be surprised if Liverpool didn't have a bad period at some point.
But imagine that Liverpool won it. It would be a bit funny, given all the talk about how Klopp the miracle worker over performed. That said, I think we have several great young players (Gvardiol, Lewis, Savinho, Doku, Nunes, hopefully Bobb, and Foden and Haaland can get better, too) capable of surprising the league. If Savinho and Doku improve further, not to mention Phil and Erling, they can destroy any opposition.

By the same token Arsenal will have seen our result yesterday and thought that losing at Newcastle was a missed opportunity for them to close the gap on us. The season's full of these kinds of weekends for every top team - getting pulled into the Sky Sports narrative that it's a "race" can mess up your perception. It's just about getting to 90 points, independently of others, and hoping you've got more than the nearest team.What really frustrates me apart from the loss, which let’s be honest, we’re not used to, is, City could be 8 points in-front of Arsenal now had we beaten Bournemouth, and pretty much dealt a massive blow to Arsenal’s title hopes.
