So at the end of the day, the only constant in this league are City and Pep. Second time they have an off-season and the lague is done by December.

I honestly think it's hard to argue that he's the best player in the world. Liverpool can thank the timing of the new CWC forcing AFCON to move to next winter. 

That would have been the only genuine chance for others to bridge the gap. Right now, it's difficult to imagine anything other than a league victory for them.

And not many saw this coming which is mad seeing all that changed is manager. The squad last year was pretty good all he's done is tighten it up where it needed to be.

Hey ho...top 4 is our focus. Nice to see Forest doing well!

100%. Aside from that blip against Forest (good old days returning for them?), they've dominated in the league and in Europe. Slot has made people forget about Klopp already, which is a major surprise.

It will be interesting to see who out of the three big names will remain, tho. Imagine losing Salah, VVD, & TAA for nothing. They would regress massively.

Yeah it's 22 games unbeaten blah.

There's rumours about TAA and Madrid duno how true though. Salah..they'd be mad to let him go! Or any of them really

He seems to be the most likely to leave according to reports. More American owners penny pitching.

Only way I see them dropping, is if they fell of physically like last couple of seasons around April because they barely rotate and are playing at such high tempos.

This time though, the buffer they have over anyone else will help immensily, unlike previous years.

Salah is better than Vini for me because he’s more skillful in tight areas. Vini relies more on pace and power, and Reals game plan—he struggles for Brazil against low blocks.

Salah is a better passer as well
