As much as I hate to say itI cant see any way around this. Liverpool have really **** the bed, they spend a fortune in the summer, which is unlike them, and it just hasnt clicked. Not only are they missing Diaz and Trent more than they will admit, due to the intensity and pace they brought to the fore, but their main performers in Salah and Van Dijk have completely lost the plot and are just not peforming. Add to that, Wirtz and Frimpong have yet to bed in and looks out of sorts... Isak.....**** him, he deserves it, I havent seen a striker fall off like this after a move, since Torres moved to Chelsea, or Carroll when he joined Liverpool from Newcastle, but **** him, he is a ****! City look totally reliant on Haaland, when he has mare, they have a mare. Yes they still have a very good squad and will expect them to finish top 4 with relative ease but I dont see the consistency there. If Haaland has an off day or god forbid gets injured, they pale in comparison to Pep's teams of old. They might win silverware but I dont see the league in their immediate future. And Chelsea well...while we seem to have racked up a few wins whilst missing our best player by far for 80% of season in Palmer, and Estevao looks the real deal...I still dont see our backline cutting the mustard. If we had signed Guehi and Donnaruma in the summer, we might be looking at a different story, but our defensive options do not inspire. While we have decent players there, and great fullbacks if James and Cucurella stay fit, and Sanchez HAS improved this season I will give him that....but CB options are too weak sauce for me, and I again we can be undone due to Maresca's niaivity at times, tactically I dont think he is there yet....# So in short, yes, unless Arsenal have a compete meltdown in the second half of the season....I cannot see beyond them for the title.
