Short Pants

Liverpool got goals in the 41' and 53' to prevail over lowly Fulham at Fenway.

What is wrong with Liverpool? They went all the way to the Champions League Final not six months ago!  Last season they put fear into opponents that at any moment the goal deluge could begin and they would be swamped. This season? 0-0 against City at home? Two goals agin Fulham at home?

I have no idea what it is. The table says they're first in the Premier League. At worst in a couple of hours they will be third. They thrashed Manchester City in three of four matches last season. And still finished fourth, twenty-five points behind City. That was the team that played Madrid in the final of the game's greatest competition. So they're better this season, currently first, maybe second or third shortly. Sure doesn't feel like they're better. Sure doesn't feel like they can challenge City for the Premier League title.
