ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Shame the injury was in the one position they can afford. It’s never Salah Mane or Alexander Arnold is it?

Robertson Alexander Arnold Salah Mane, I’ve never seen a group of players go so many games season after season at such a high intensity without missing games. Nearly every week they’re always there, Salah and Mane especially, they just barely ever miss, unbelievable for players reliant on pace that draw fouls.

Firmino has been out; and atm we need Mane on the pitch - he's been dire since last season.

Disagree about the Elliott injury too. Midfield is exactly where they need to be weakened: Wijnaldum left them under strength and Elliott was supposed to be the answer. Beyond a clueless Henderson, Thiago and Fabinho they are struggling with sick notes like Oxlade-Chamberlain and Keita and a soon to be 36 year old Milner.

Compared to the squads of City, United and Chelsea they are paper thin.

Theyve conceded one goal in 4 games from a header from a corner. Their squad in 19/20 was weak as well but when you don’t get any injuries to key players, the refereeing decisions all go your way, and opposition teams can’t h it an open net against you then you can still put a title challenge together. It was the same that season, every week there was a last minute pen, or a goalkeeping error, or some thing that gave them three points each game, it’s starting again here with two undeserved red cards two games in a row and opposition players missing extremely easy chances agaisnt them.

If you look at that team on paper it should be in a battle to finish in the top 4 but I’d put money on them being in the title race for a long time this season.

The difference with 2019/20 and now is that Liverpool had players at their peak age and they had only City to get past. Now their key players are past peak age and performance, they haven't bought to replace and replenish, and Chelsea and United are much closer challengers to City than this Liverpoo team will be.

Any concern with them for me is not about the title but in the CL, where any dog can have its day.
