Liverpool might not be at their very best this season but one thing stands out for them which is the fact they haven't lost a single match even though they have recorded more draws than wins. City might be the favorite considering their consistency and league dominance but I count on Liverpool to pull up some resistance as they host Man City next month. Liverpool gaming tactics are slowly emerging and I'm trusting them to navigate this season better than their overall performance last season.

I think you are underplaying the devastating tendencies of too many draws; Liverpool should ups their games, otherwise, it would be a disaster. As for the match between Liverpool and Man City, I think you should tread carefully regardless of the fact that it would be played in Anfield. Liverpool's defense could be too porous than you think, and meetings Man City whose defense is solid could be a headache for them.

I predict very well that Liverpool will not be able to win against Manchester City, despite the match being at their home ground, Liverpool is not so strong that they will beat Manchester City, and so as always their main goal will be to draw the match, Liverpool have already drawn 3 matches in 5 matches in the Premier League, and now the team they are going to face is a very strong team, and so I cannot expect Liverpool to win against this team in any way. But now the thing to see is whether they can draw the match? Manchester City will try to snatch the win in any way, now the thing to see is how Liverpool will stop this strong team, where they could not win against less strong teams and drew the matches, this match will be the strongest opponent match for them, and I do not think Liverpool will be able to defend their points against this team.

Liverpool have not really made much difference from their last seasons poor performance, so I can also agree if anyone is saying Liverpool are not in a very good shape at the moment. Probably because of the standards they have set in the past few years everyone expects them to be at that top level performance. Challenging for titles and winning games on a regular. But they have struggled to even settle for some draw this season against team that they could win on a good day.

Let me just assume you’re that Liverpool fan who think Liverpool is currently some better than Chelsea at the moment, but I doubt if Liverpool is better that than Manchester united and Chelsea at the moment.

There is still a huge difference between the Liverpool of 2024/25 and the Liverpool of this season. They are not even half of what the fans expect from them. They will want to forget last season as soon as possible, but this season they are also dropping points against weaker teams. They are being held back by teams that they would have easily beaten in 2024/25. It is not that those teams have improved, but Liverpool have deteriorated.

They still have time to come back this season, winning the title may be difficult now, but they can fight for the title. I do not want to see them quietly satisfied with 4th or 5th place, but they have to fight for the top spot. At the moment I think Liverpool are better than Chelsea and Manchester United.

How Liverpool has reduced to this level is still a mystery to me, like they actually got what it takes to fight for the English premier league title last season and this season, yes they've got the players needed but why they are still struggling is what I don't understand, just imagine after they spent hugely in the transfer market last season they narrowly qualify for the UEFA champions league this season, should will say they've not got the right coach for the job or what? And talking about Chelsea and Manchester United, I really think those two are not a factor for now, till they start showing working, it's only then I can channel my attention towards them.

Liverpool have drop drastically, i found it very difficult to identify the problem of the team because I see that all the players are in a very good shape, but maybe the fault is from the coach oh I may be wrong, Liverpool don't deserve the kind of position they are now due to what they have done before. I thought their performance last season will be a big lesson to them which I expected that will put more effort to recover from that lost, instead they continue worsen in performance, but let's wait and see how the will turn up since the league is still far.

Don't you think Liverpool is doing more better now than they did last season? There is an improvement in Liverpool unlike last season at least they are considered as club playing undefeated despite they have played 3 draw already at of 5 matches played, although even me am yet to figure out what could be Liverpool problem but i will say the club hasn't build a team since their formal coach klopp left the team they are still yet to get another team under their new coach maybe with time they could be as strong as before again, they have Man city to play next in the league let's see what they will display.

Aside the draws, I believe you can agree with me that Liverpool is not really in bad form this season, Manchester City is facing Liverpool in the Anfield, and there's always a home advantage, and again either form or not Manchester City don't always get it easy to win Liverpool, so there's still time to give it a second thought, and again with the recent happenings in the club it might affect them in one way or the other, but I never can tell as it's really a game of football anything can really happened.

If you want to criticize Liverpool this season, you can make many excuses, but in reality, the team has not lost a single match. Their performance proves that the team has a strong potential to do well this season. Although the team is not in a good position compared to last season in terms of statistics, it cannot be called good. The team is in 6th position in the table with only 9 points from 5 matches in the league. I think Liverpool has a chance to rise. Arsenal have stumbled in the last match against Brighton. If they loses more matches in recent matches, the teams at the bottom will have the opportunity to take themselves into a stronger position.

Fans are not satisfied, they always want their team to be at the top, even though Liverpool is in second position some fans would still say they've declined so bad, but they forget that the league is still early and Liverpool is catching up with others at the top, they haven't dropped drastically everyone can see that they're making progress.

For a team that not lost a single match, i think it’s too early to criticize them, they might not be in their best form yet but they're trying. Fans shouldn't expect their new coach to just move over there and start performing magic, he'll need more time to understand his players and try to help them understand his strategy.

It is cool that they have not lost any match but have you asked yourself, the teams they played? Are they not supposed to win them normally as they always do when Klopp was there? Last season everyone was expecting a great display from Liverpool because of the players they signed and the amount they signed them but guess what, this team under performed so bad that it was even in the dieing minute they mange to catapult themselves in top 4 and if they don't start early this season, who knows, it may not be the same as last season.

It was so unfortunate to see Liverpool last season's performance, honestly it is not a better story to tell because for a team like Liverpool to decline instantly without any sign, it something that should be discussed. We discussing all this about Liverpool didn't appear that we hate them or we want to talk bad about them. We see Liverpool as one of the top teams in the Premier League which we expect more from them this season, because last season was not on their favor.

Currently Liverpool is sitting on the 6th place on the table, winning only two matches and draw three matches out of five matches they are played, and you are saying that we should not talk, they really have to improve because we don't expect to see this kind of performance from them after failing to perform very well last season. The outcome of all these results wasn't expected from a team likely Liverpool with the kind of players they have gathered.

Of course, if you compare Liverpool now to Liverpool when it was still coached by Klopp it's very different. What I mean is that Liverpool performance so far, not losing in the last 5 matches is a good thing for Andoni Iraola who is a new coach. At least he still has the opportunity to keep improving to become stronger with Liverpool and yes, the next match will be a big challenge for Andoni Iraola to prove himself worthy of being Liverpool's coach because the opponent will be Man City who are still strong at the top of the table.

This will be a big match in week six after the international break. Liverpool may not be favored in this game, but they have high confidence since the match will be played in front of their own fans. I predict this match will be intense and most likely the result will be a draw.

On the other side, if you want to ask, you may also want to know what’s wrong with the likes of Madrid too despite having a solid team with a solid coach. Yet he’s still finding it difficult to make best use of them. I think sometimes the problem goes beyond just having a good squad and having a good coach, sometimes it is also about the coach being able to make good use of the resources he has at his disposal as far  as a particular squad is concerned, such I think could also be a factor to consider. Or whether the management at the top level is not over interfering with the decisions of the manager too or allowing the manager the ability to make decisions without much influence over his decisions from the top level? Maybe such could be reason why we experience situations like this, though for Liverpool will also say they’ve kind of improved when compared to the last season but it is still early to draw into such conclusions yet, let see what happen in their next 10 games.

Liverpool have drop drastically, i found it very difficult to identify the problem of the team because I see that all the players are in a very good shape, but maybe the fault is from the coach oh I may be wrong, Liverpool don't deserve the kind of position they are now due to what they have done before. I thought their performance last season will be a big lesson to them which I expected that will put more effort to recover from that lost, instead they continue worsen in performance, but let's wait and see how the will turn up since the league is still far.

Liverpool have not been able to keep up since they won the Premier League, and I have been very disappointed because they have the opportunity to bring in new players, but they have misused the opportunity, and it may be that no one is actually rating them at this point. We thought they were going to do better, and that is why no one is even giving them attention at this point. And they failed to do a total reset on their club that is why they are facing all these challenges, and they are not a serious club. which ever i dont really have business with liverpool my own concern is Arsenal because we are bagging the Premier League.
