this shows that liverpool has risen.
and I am sure in the next season liverpool will be able to become champion.
the first defeat of city shows that only a big team can beat it.
You think they're going to be champions just because they beat City? They're an under-rated team and arguably under-achieve but you need results throughout the season and not just be able to turn over a giant at home and Liverpool aren't exactly huge underdogs to do this and I predicted they have a good chance of winning below:
Last season liverpool played poorly in the second round, that's what caused their points lagging far behind for a calendar year. This season Liverpool play pretty good, only inconsistencies that are still too frequent, inadvertently behind the back to make them often lose points. In contrast to Manchester City whose game they improved in the second round last season and getting bolted this season. Pep learned quickly the Premier League game.
I can actually see Liverpool beating Man City on the weekend even without Coutinho, especially now they have Salah back apparently. I think I'll wait for the full line ups to be announced but I might have a cheeky bet on Liverpool if the odds are good. I could possibly see a very high scoring game something like 2-2 or 2-3 but either way it is sure to be a match to watch.
I suppose their chances of winning anything will depend on who they sign after the end of this season but losing Coutinho was a big set back for them to become a contender and join the ranks or world class teams again, though they're not by any means a one man team. I would prefer them to win over all the usual suspects, though.
