Good post, but I think you can only really assess at the end of the season. Yeah you won today but Palace gave you problems up until the sending off and but for a brilliant save would have got a deserved second.
I do think you have a great shot at the title though. I called Arsenal 3rd at the start of the season and if City don't get going soon it will be Liverpools to lose

That is what allison does. It's like saying you only win the race because u have the best car....yeah, that's right
Its about having more control in games, thats what a proper DM will bring. We have the best defence but I think thats more to do with us having the best goalie around and vvd being back to his dominating self. We are still giving away lots of chances in games and at times its harum scarum in the middle of the park.
Each to their own but I dont think we win the league without 1 coming in. I didnt expect us to win the league before a ball was kicked this season anyway but with the way the seasons panning out it feels like theres an opportunity here.
A couple of seasons ago we brought in diaz in january and it gave the squad the shot it needed to go on a super run. I hope we go out and do the same this january and plug the only real hole we have in the squad.
you'd swear we won nowt with fabinho in the side eh?

Rice has been our best player so far this season. Without him we'd probably be 8 points worse off.
Yeah Rice has been a superb signing for Arsenal, utterly foolish to suggest otherwise.
If Rice was playing for Liverpool we would stroll the Premier League. But as we know FSG are penny pinching misers and bought us Endo instead
I always said rice was a top player. But I thought that a iut caicedo as well
You are missing the point AND jumping to conclusions. Nobody said rice was a bad player at all, hes a very good player....but, Arsenal have him we don't, and we are a head of them and lost fewer games than them!!
Klopp plays a different way, hes not using a traditional dm...hes happy with TAA taking up a mf position and having mac as a "DM"...and hows that worked out for us???
Endo looked slow yesterday and Mac isn't a dm. It's a weak spot.
Games would be a lot easier with rice in there.

The stats will tell you...and the table...its not a weak.spot at all!!
Klopps has had success without a dm/anchor but mac's form has def suffered. It isn't his role. I refuse to believe a defensively minded player wouldn't strengthen the mf right now.
Liverpool have won a crazy number of points from behind but it'd be stupid to think that'll continue all season unless he does make some tweaks.
People forget the mf has lots of new blood and players still adjusting. That may remove the need for a new mf but it just seems weird to have so many players in that area and not 1 mobile dm.
Endos lack of pace isn't an issue in some games but it is in others. And I say that thinking Endo is a very good player technically, he just lacks pace.
