There are quite lots of factors why the title is gone. Arsenal lacks depth on the bench especially attacking options and six/five offensive players are without a confidence with Martinelli, Havertz, Trossard, Jesus (now injured), and Odegaard considering he is an attack-minded midfielder.
Those players are holding back Arsenal so is Arteta being too tight defensively this season when we could have shown a little bit more offensively.
We can blame that for Arteta. Because he signed Zinchenko, Tomiyasu, Calafiori, Timber, White, and Kiwior. He does not trust Zinchenko and Kiwior. We get that as most of us don't have faith in them. Because one does not have a pace, and one lacks a concentration Whilst Tomiyasu often spends on the treatment table instead of the pitch.
I see him after the Aston Villa game, and he spoke about Liverpool having a depth squad compared to them, but Arteta made bad decisions on recruitments, particularly on defenders. We have a very good academy player playing left-back while we still have three/four other full-backs in the club. We currently do not have a balance squad. He needs to sort out before it becomes another issue for next season. We need a cover for Saka and Odegaard.
I would not give a new contracts to -
G. Jesus
Tomiyasu
Jorginho
Martinelli (depends on how well he does this season and next season)
Trossard
Sell:
Zinchenko
Kiwior
Tomiyasu
Jorginho
Trossard
Tierney
Partey (He's losing his pace but still a valuable player. However, I'd welcome one-year contract extension due to his experience if he wants that)
Buy:
N.Williams
Sesko/Gyökeres/Isak (If Newcastle miss out top 4)
X. Simons (His agent is David Dein's son)
Dibling (Saints will go down and his transfer fee will become cheaper)
The title is gone

Talking about Liverpool depth in the squad while he has been loading up on defenders and keepers for the last 5 years
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, he got it wrong for the amount defenders whom he signed and now some of them are not even used properly. However, he was right to sell Ramsdale for Raya. Martinez refused to stay and fight for his place.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Arsenal have spent over double Liverpool in the last 10 years? Arsenals top players a youth product their next best 2 were relatively cheap in odegaard and saliba.
Dno how he can talk about Liverpools depth with a straight face. Or have the cheek to try and use it as a plea for the board to back him more with hundreds of millions.

It was over before it started tbh with all the injuries and suspensions, no team would be able to cope with that you take Salah Snd VVD out of Liverpool for most of the season they won't be winning any League Title so Liverpool have got really lucky this season with Arsenal and City being Dreadful!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it down to luck and everyone else being dreadful why we’re top of the Champions League as well?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Our injury crisis was worse last season but still made it to April still in the title race while Arsenal had a clean bill of health. Arsenal didn't cash in when it mattered.

The new Champions League format is also affecting some top teams this season. There is nothing wrong being lucky with injuries. It is an advantage.

I think all liverpool fans would acknowledge we have been lucky with injuries thus far. Its the fact that a lot of your fans cant seem to admit you had the exact same luck in comparison to us and city last season.
You have had 2 seasons in a row gone by where you did decent on the injury front but it didnt lead to a title. I think thats whats making it sting more for some of you. That someone outside city are probably going to win it and its not you.
