Liverpool performed credible last season and struggling I'm this season is alarming and the issue is from the coach. Though they were trying at the beginning of this season but right now they are even in the 4th position of the EPL table. The coach has to do something. He needs to change the coaching style because the skills which he was using last has been conquered by other teams so he has to change skills before they can do well again.

The Liverpool manager mistake was a blunder in the transfer market. He has tarnished his reputation with Liverpool's poor performances of late.

In the transfer market, Arne Slot sold Luiz Diaz to Bayern Munich. I didn't expect them to do that, and now look at what's happened to Liverpool. Liverpool front line isn't as sharp as last season. Isak can't contribute, and Salah hasn't found an ideal partner up front.

This gap has made their front line weak in finishing. I mean, they have plenty of chances, but when Salah can't score, other players can't contribute.

While that's just my guess, Liverpool current Premier League form is different from last season.

I don't just get. I've been trying to wrap my head around this thing because it seemed more confusing to understand, how can one be handling this kind of team with brilliant players and still fumbled in big games. I think Arne Slot have alot of explanation because one can not seem to understand the fundamental features behind Liverpool been held back.

The English Premier League is for the competitive side and only the strong survives. Liverpool frontline is weaken already but there's no more heavy thing to worry about because Liverpool will always come back with magnificent performances. This is a club that wouldn't settle for less, they have everything to worry about base on the vulnerability of the club.

Perfect performance by Premier League clubs in the Champions League tonight:

Newcastle defeated Benfica 3-0 at home
Man City beat Villarreal 2-0 in an away game; and
Arsenal demolished Atletico Madrid 4-0 at home

This sends out a message that the Premier League should remain to be considered the strongest league in the world.

Tomorrow we have:
Chelsea Vs Ajax
Monaco Vs Tottenham; and
Eintracht Frankfurt Vs Liverpool

All English teams are considered favourites, although Tottenham is only a slight one. I think we are all more curious about Liverpool and whether they'll be able to break their losing streak. I think they will. Eintracht is not a strong team (currently 7th in the Bundesliga), so even troubled Liverpool should be able to get the job done.

Today's result is a clear indication that English premier league teams should be considered  favorite to  win the champions league this seasons. Among all the games today I think the most interesting one is Newcastle united  defitting benfica  with 3 goals to nothing and full dominating form making it difficult for benfica to cut across there yard in the game, which clearly states the impressiveness of English premier league teams  when it comes to European competition.
As for that of arsenal there good form this season has gone beyond expectations and showing they can one day be considered king of europ

Arsenal displayed an outstanding performance in today's game with a 4-0 win and I can say they are top competitors for the league this season if they maintain this  consistency. The pressure and clinical defense from this team saw their opponents make wrong passes and not being able to retain the ball with no progressive foot play that was goal threatening.

The match indeed was a delight to watch though I didn't expect Arsenal to win this big after first half performance but I was expecting a win from them. They truly deserved the win as they showed prowess and resilience on the pitch with Atletico Madrid making mistakes that led to the goals but in all it was an outstanding performance from both teams.

Last season, Liverpool's squad was still filled with Jurgen Klopp's original squad, which had gelled together and was competitive and won the title. This season, however, Liverpool has overhauled its squad with crazy transfers and a fantastic budget. The team has not yet gelled together, so it feels less effective.

[Adbitco]

it still baffles me that after all the money being spent by Liverpool during the transfer window, they are struggling like this. Is it that the coach doesn't know to use both the new and the old players!

Arne Slot should maintain his current style of play and re-evaluate some players.
I don't understand why Alexander Isaak is so bad. He was a very good and efficient finisher on the team he joined.
Arne Slot should pay special attention to this player, or if that's not possible, he shouldn't give him any more playing time. I believe Arne Slot can find a solution. It's not too late, the last few matches were just bad, and he didn't drop many points.

Sloth is not the one that will restore his previous form back to him, I might be wrong here though. Isak might be suffering from what some few other players suffered when they changed team. He was so prolific at Newcastle and right now his losing it and I'm afraid that he might just waste of he doesn't find back his form because he won't keep on playing when not productive and Liverpool might be forced to sell him because he will definitely be commanding a huge wage. He might eventually pick up form though which most of us can't wait for. Only time will tell.

Selling Luiz Diaz wasn't the mistake he made and also he wanted the move. The issues is going for too many star attackers and not really improving their defensing prowess which is another reason they are facing a setback now.

Arne needs to not consider the transfer fee more now and pick players base on their performance to get back to winning ways. I said something before about this.

English teams did a fantastic job tonight in the Champions League, and I'm sure a few of them will make it to the last 16. They might even win the title. PSG looks very scary and are once again one of the top favorites in the Champions League. I'm curious to see if they can win three out of three in tomorrow's matches, though today's teams were in better form.

Good games for all the English teams in the champions League as they all win their matches. Nice one this is what is expected from them as a fan of the English premier League.the results for me yesterday was arsenal winning atletico madrid by 4:0 at home because, I expected arsenal to struggle against atletico madrid but somehow arsenal was able to put the atletico madrid to the sword in the second half. I think a lost of concentration from atletico madrid made the game to go the way it went because, looking at the way that the goals were scored atletico madrid look disorganized the second half.

If you mean EPL as most competitive league is right, but calling it as the strongest just because good result in the qualifier stage make no sense. I'd rather to call them as strongest league as long as all of semis can be filled by all of EPL candidates.  If this is a play off, many of them already out of the league.

[dezoel]

League is getting more fun, we can finally see the teams be close at the top, instead of one team being great. Right now Arsenal looks great, already two games ahead than most, but aside from that we have second place and 9th place difference is just one game.

This is amazing, Manchester City is second place with 16 points, and with one loss on Arsenal, there is a chance that City could be leaders, but at the same time, one loss for City could mean that United could go beyond them too, not sure if that will happen lol, but the fact that it's possible and United has won two in a row now, three out of last four, is a huge achievement for them.

Luis Díaz technically put more effort last season with improved scoring statistics. But his performance in his last times there wasn't convincing and I guess that was a factor in selling him.

But I wouldn't have sold him if I had been in their place... Like I said, statistically he was still getting better. Now he is playing spectacular at Bayern Munich. 

Will Gakpo meet the expectations? We will see. But while Salah is also struggling a really tough season is waiting for Liverpool.

So from there performance yesterday in the UEFA Champions league we should be expecting two English Premier league team to play this season UEFA Champions league final, i still believe that English Premier league team playing to today may likely win there various game, but with the current form of Liverpool i don't have much confidence on them to win Eintracht Frankfurt at home.

All teams are strong when it comes to the Champions League, and perhaps not just representatives from the English Premier League. However, we can agree on one thing: the English Premier League is considered quite competitive and it is often difficult for teams from other representatives to deal with their pace. The preliminary round does look good for the English Premier League representatives, but this is only the beginning of the competition there because it will be much more difficult later. There are many quality teams in the Champions League, and perhaps we cannot just compare the competitiveness of certain leagues because every season we see that the champions are not dominated by representatives of the Premier League.

Atlético Madrid were doing well in the first half and missed a few chances but Arsenal turned things around in the second half. I thought Atlético had a poor start to the season and would bounce back but their Premier League form was disappointing. Arsenal started the second half with more intensity. Arsenal scored four goals in the 57th minute to 70th minute. Diego Simeone was left frustrated by the goal difference and the loss by such a large margin was a blow to Atlético fans.

The premier league has always been a very interesting league to watch, but I think this season is going to be at a different level,  because I feel the there are still going to be a lot of turns this season. Arsenal is currently on top right now and they are also in a very good form too and I see them winning the league,  but there is Manchester City which most people don't see them as title condenders this season,  although I have been doing well lately and with Haaland in a wonderful format, you really can't write them off. Manchester United and Chelsea have been picking up points lately, which I think it's good for the league, then there is Liverpool who is going through a tough time right now and I believe they will definitely pick up soon. So you can understand why I feel it's really going to be an interesting season.

You're right English Premier League is the most competitive league but that doesn't make them the strongest teams in the world and they have actually proven their strength too in the champions league. Well if you look at it properly team strength is determined by their finances, how much they spend on player finance (wages and signing fee and bonuses) and that's why rich clubs are able to get top players and that's why they are always ahead. The likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona make sure they get their hands on almost every top player that's why they easily dominate the champions league making it difficult for English teams to compete with them for the champions league trophy.
This is just the beginning so until the knockout phase I won't say anything yet but i believe one or more English team will make it to the final or Semi Final.

Arsenal scored four goals in the 57th minute to 70th minute. Diego Simeone was left frustrated by the goal difference and the loss by such a large margin was a blow to Atlético fans.

Arsenal had a lot of success and strength in this match, due to which none of the Atletico Madrid players could score a goal and they had to face defeat in this match with 4 goal. Arsenal play well in both halves and scored goals and put pressure on the other side and made this match more difficult for them. Arsenal performance and their strength is actually a good effort. They are either weak or it has become difficult for them to change themselves due to which they will not be able to try to play well anymore. Arsenal player Gyökeres has scored 2 goals in the 67th and 70th minutes of the second half due to which it has become more difficult for Atletico Madrid to succeed in the second half. And if they had worked hard in this they would have played with some interest in this match and tried to win the match.

I don't know why coaches always receive the blame whenever the team underperforms, I don't really believe the coach is the problem here, maybe he hasn't been able to challenge the players to step up their game and that is another aspect altogether and it has nothing to do with the technical aspect of the game. Liverpool are yet to record a win since they conceded their first defeat of the season against Crystal palace, ever since they haven't being able to record any win yet.
