I wouldn’t jump to conclusions just yet. Liverpool are playing okay — not great — and even though they have all 9 points, there are clear issues in their defense. Not to mention, Salah doesn’t look like the old Salah we’re all used to.

They’ll probably win, but not without some drama. I’d say 1–2 to Liverpool.

I agree with you. Liverpool played well, but there was a slight decline in their defense. And we have to say, their defense isn't as solid as last season. There are several gaps that opponents seem to be able to exploit. Fortunately, this team's attack level is still top-notch, but Liverpool is still better.
Oh yes, Liverpool will also face a tough opponent in the Champions League. In the opening round, they will face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. And I think that will be a good test for this team.

It's true that in these first few games, the defense remains terrible. I say continues because last season we lost the European Champions League and the FA Cup because we had a terrible defense. Now, I haven't seen any major improvement in defense this season. Just look at the top teams, we have a staggering scenario:

1 - Liverpool = 3 games, 4 goals conceded

2 - Chelsea = 3 games, 1 goal conceded

3 - Arsenal = 3 games, 1 goal conceded

In other words, we're averaging 1 goal per game. Fortunately, we didn't concede a goal in the game against Arsenal. Maybe that means we've made some improvement in defense. We'll see how things go in this weekend's game.

Surely, Arne Slot really need to do something in their defense area because if not that the match against Arsenal was so tensed that it didn't produce many goals if not they would have also conceded a goal. Starting the first 2 games by conceding 4 goals in 2 games is really not nice because if not for their reliable strikers they have the first two games could have probably ended in a draw because the winnings came at the die minutes. Playing against a strong team like Arsenal and not conceding any goal should be a yardstick for Liverpool in their upcoming games because it will appear so low for them to be conceding goals against small teams.

Liverpool Football Club has conceded perhaps the most goals among the top teams in the Premier League this season so it seems that their defense is still terrible, the main thing is that they need to improve in this area now. As always, Liverpool Football Club's strikers will be very forward-thinking in this new Premier League season but I think they also need to be more disciplined in their defense. Maybe this team was smart in every way against Arsenal Football Club, as a result this team was able to properly deal with Arsenal in a tense and exciting moment.
