In all seriousness, Arsenal looked very young and inexperienced in their loss to Liverpool at the Emirates today. The refrain in the media regarding this result for the home team is going to something along the lines of "same old Arsenal," and that is not wrong.
But the second, louder cry amongst a certain segment of the English football viewing population is going to "Liverpool is back," or "The Reds are a title contender," etc.
Don't believe this. It's just not true. Liverpool are not title contenders. They are not even close. I even made a small wager yesterday that they would finish below both Manchester clubs in the final table. I can't wait to try on my shiny new Bolton shirt next May.
Liverpool have several weaknesses, and they start at the back. If I thought that Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel would be the regular partnership for central defense at Anfield, I might give them a tiny chance, instead of no chance. But it will be a cold day in hell before "Anfield Legend" Kenny Dalglish drops "Legendary Scouser" Jamie Carragher from the starting XI. And Carragher is terrible. he was always wildly overrated, but now he is a shell of his former half-decent-defensively self.
