Both Chelsea and Liverpool played good football in the first match of the season. But what happens is that Chelsea and Liverpool knows how to play draw in every of their meeting. So both of them playing together would not be the right criteria to determine whether the teams have improved. I can attest that Liverpool has improved right from the ending time of last season.
But there is no evidence of improvement in Chelsea apart from the pre-season. So we will need to see Liverpool play another club and Chelsea play another club for we to know if they have really improved.
The distance will certainly show who is worth what, but I am not impressed with the game of Liverpool beforehand. Despite the fact that the newcomers in the person of Soboslai and Mac Allister showed themselves well, Liverpool had only 35% of ball possession. Even if the newcomers continue to play well, I would not say that Liverpool have improved - this is only a compensation for those players who left. If other clubs at least have not weakened, then the status quo of last season will be maintained. As for Chelsea, I can’t say anything about them yet because I got confused in the kaleidoscope of their players.
Although their head to head is at least more often with a draw result but still, that way at least there is nothing bad and nothing good for them. Unless one of them can win in the match, then at least we will also be able to conclude the winner in the match is the better team. Thus, then considering whether the new players can play well or badly I guess it is no longer important because after all, they also still get points with the draw result.
After all, it's also still early in the season and even if for example they don't start the season well, then of course there are still many opportunities for them to rise. Because in fact, last season Liverpool also did not start the season well, but at the end of the season Liverpool managed to rise. Therefore, then I think if Chelsea can still end this match with a draw, then maybe that is also an improvement that Chelsea managed to do at this moment compared to last season.
