Of course there will be times you play poorly and win, or play well and lose. That's football. But if you keep putting in average performances then you're not going to keep on winning and they just...do. Easy fixtures or no, I can't believe it can be entirely luck. There does seem to be something about them this season. Whether they'll maintain this...it seems unlikely, but I keep thinking that. Hopefully December will see them drop enough points and we can go on a run and haul them in a bit.
You use the word "average" a lot by the way - elsewhere you chastised someone else for using it because average compared with what?
Perhaps you’re right, perhaps the word mediocre would be better

But again quibbling over venacular, doesn’t change my view that I don’t believe their performances to be those you would see from sides you’ve seen in the past that are title winners. And I don’t think it in anyway unreasonable to suggest that I don’t think you have any evidentiary basis to challenge that view without having seen Liverpool play
