The only two players in the last decade with 250+ goals and 120+ assists are Messi and Salah. Would have won two ballon d’ors if he was at Madrid

End of the season they will still say Liverpool haven't played anyone 😅

[johno]

Oh so we still haven’t played anyone good yet? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[zack]

We played man utd, arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan, Bournemouth who beat city and arsenal.
But begains now lol😂

"Tough run" does not begin until Liverpool lose. Got it

[Leon-yg]

Chelsea arsenal Brighton says it started a bit ago

[loopvil]

In the middle of the tough run, get it right! Just played arsenal and Chelsea

[kd]

We going to keep pushing back the “when does the liverpool tough test begin” until there’s a loss or something? Just played Chelsea, Arsenal and Brighton. The tough run has already started.

Liverpool were the better team against Arsenal in the second half, they were the better team in the second half against Brighton. Chelsea Liverpool is always a difficult game that has no bearing on where either team is because it’s always bitty and tense.

Clearly, Liverpool's tough run will start when it is over...stop the childish hate and give credit where it is due..biased analysis

[RFUD]

Yes Liverpool have not been playing great. Though they get the win. They say Liverpool haven't played any good teams during this run in response. Liverpool have played the 3rd Nottingham, 4th Chelsea, 5th Arsenal, and 8th Brighton placed teams in the league. It's pathetic.

[audy]

What morons. They said Liverpool had easy opponents at the start of the season. They said the next 10-games after international break will determine whether Liverpool is for real as they face tough opponents. Let's see now.., Liverpool has beaten Chelsea, Brighton twice, Leipzig and drew Arsenal. Not losing in that 5-games out of 10 so far!

[dannyo]

Always shifting the post. Previously the tough tests started with Chelsea, then Arsenal, Brighton. Now it's Leverkusen. If Liverpool scale this unscathed, they will move it to the next game. You just want to see the game he will lose and you all shout "I said so". Hypocrites

[suresinn]

Gab hates Liverpool and always downplays Liverpool i do wonder what makes him hate pool so much

[Alexander-kcoq]

WDM begins? We´re like 4 games into the tough run. Maybe half way through depedning on if you count the post-int. break games as part of it or spearate. BUt keep doing your best to not credit Liverpool with anything.

[asimpleguy]

Arne Slot is a stable update from Jurgen Klopp, slot is doing it in the first season 👌

[emmanuelopoku]

Even if we beat Man City and Real Madrid, you will still tell us we haven't played anyone yet

Liverpools easy run of fixtures
Bournmouth- Beat both City and Arsenal, liverpool won 3-0
Brighton- Could have been 3rd had they won- liverpool won
Nottingham forrest- Currently 3rd in the table
Chelsea - Playing good football and in a decent run of form - Liverpool won 2-1
Arsenal away - Most pundits favourite for the league, And drew 2-2 away
Lets not forget the champions league games (leipzig away, who were joint top of the bundesliga at the time and AC milan at the san Siro) in the between some of these fixtures and playing brighton in the league cup.

This easy run of fixtures Narrative is getting boring. You can only beat whats put in front of you and some of these teams that are deemed as "easy" have given city and liverpool good games. Such terrible pundits.

[imancute]

Already begins maa..Chelsea, RB Leipzig, Arsenal, Brighton twice, next Bayern Leverkusen and Aston villa

[Grogag]

There is no team can give tough test to Liverpool

[TTSPOSE]

Tough time???? We have played arsenal, Chelsea, Brentford??? Let wait till the end of the year
