Liverpool and Arsenal also started the season with a win by the same scores, 2-0. If you ask me about whose game I liked the most, I would say Arsenal honestly.

Because they seemed hungrier than Liverpool from the beginning to the end. It could have ended by a bigger goal gap easily actually. But Wolves resisted well to prevent a disaster.

I didn't like Liverpool in the first half on the other hand. They didn't seem capable of even finding the target. It improved later on thanks to Salah's starting to take responsibility. A solid start by scoring a goal and making an assist. 

Arsenal after seeing how Liverpool, Manchester United and other teams win their respective matches, the players were very hungry for the three points because it will not be easy for them if they lose or draw their first match despite all the hype of them been the favorites to win the EPL ahead of City this season according to several football pundits.
Liverpool’s performance is also not bad, it is Arne Slot’s first Premier League match, it shouldn’t go smooth because of his in experience in the Premier League, but we also don’t expect them to lose to such teams easily because the team is still ranked  among the top four teams to finish in the Champions League spots this season.

As other teams are getting three points, Chelsea and Manchester City are to play against each others tomorrow, it simply means that one of them will either lose or they draw the match, therefore, one of them or the two of them have to be behind these remaining top teams.

This must be a little relief for Arne Slot. I mean everyone was curious how good he would be able to start. Because people were critizing Liverpool transfer policy. More precisely, no transfer at all.  

But still we saw a good start by Liverpool. Ipswich are one of the new members of the PL this season. I was expecting them to be more ambitious but we didn't see anything particular. Maybe they get used to the league in time.

I thought Liverpool could be off to a tricky start into the season as sometimes these teams that made their way into the Premier League are tough to beat, especially in a home game. But then again it is still Liverpool although I have to say that this was nothing spectacular. Rather a solid game and that was it. Sure it is still the first game, but it is not like Liverpool made a big statement here. Quite clinical and result oriented.

Same thing for Manchester United. Not all that convincing, but ten Hag is probably fine with it.

Many people say that this is not a real match for Liverpool, because their opponents were not tough, only newly promoted teams that still adapt on premier league. the real match will be come when they meet MU on next 2 week. But at least, even if their opponent is not strong, Slot was proved if he can adapt well with the atmosphere premier league. all issues he denied well after made the big winning, 2-0. I think with this winning, Liverpool was made good initial capital to the next step. The big team on premier league will watch them carefully.

I hope Chelsea can give a surprise in the next match to win the match against Man City, although it is impossible but in this important match Chelsea will work in class and prove itself capable of competing with other big clubs that have previously won their matches well such as Liverpool, Man United, Aston Villa, Brighton, Arsenal, who got good results in their first match in the Premier League this season.
