Perfect start to the season for Liverpool, maybe it’s not all doom and gloom after Klopp. I’m happily surprised at how good Slot has us playing but obviously it’s very early in the season, much more testing periods ahead.

Now an international break, which by the way is so ridiculous after only 3 games back. When the break is over we have back to back games at Anfield against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, a good chance to keep the good early season form going.

Honestly, this wasn't what I expected anyhow. While I knew that Arne Slot was a great manager, even a great manager can't always have a great start, usually it takes time for players and manager to find that right balance and chemistry and when that relationship gets better the team gets better, which I did expected them to do because it looked like they would be better eventually.

However, they started very well too, and this does scare me just a bit, not a lot but just a bit. I fear that they may actually do worse later on, like they started great, but where can this go, they can't just keep being awesome, very few teams ever does that, there could be some problems along the way, if not then the title is so easy to win, if it does, then solving it quickly will be the key.

Though I have to give credits to Arne Slot good start in the EPL especially with the clean sheets following the wins even against Manchester United but the main reason I still don't consider Liverpool highly this season is from the fact that earlier last season they where the best team, is either they get a win or worst savage a point no matter who they were playing up against no matter the odds even with bad referee decisions but during their injuries woes which was a similar situation other top teams suffered their performance reduced and even after all the stats came back fit, things didn't rather became more disappointing that they drop from league title favorite to 3rd place.

Since it's under a new management I believe things are kind of different, Slot is likely diligent coming from what we see from the start already, defeating Manchester United by that number of goals is enough for us to consider them among the top competitors for the Premier league title this season, we just hope this is not another show play to start too well and end badly. We may also see one among the top competitors declared the winner but leading with a point away from having it tied with the second runner.

Right now the three top competitors are same like what we had last season, between Arsenal and Liverpool I can't tell who has the better ability to stay above the other because they have been impressive since the season began.
