initial post-pandemic return in June was hailed as defiant in some corners, reviled for its pandering to television overlords in others. This time around, just a month delayed from when the 2020-21 season would have started under normal circumstances, there’s barely a murmur from either side.
In the eyes of Premier League organisers, this is enough justification for continuing as if everything were normal. Earlier this week, two Manchester City players tested positive for Covid-19. Meanwhile, two English boys were also put on the naughty chair for Covid-19 irresponsibility.during international duty in Iceland after they invited local women into their hotel room, popping the pseudo bubble they were supposed to be floating in.
The practice of predictions is fraught at best; now, it’s nigh impossible. The enhanced unpredictability is set not just to be a feature of the new season, but rather its defining storyline. Jürgen Klopp plays a direct, fluid style that aims to stretch the field as much as possible, while the manager’s strategic novelty comes from his aggressive use of his fullbacks. Modern defenders have long been expected to surge forward, but in Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson he has two who don’t just support the attack, but are a fundamental part of it.
Which brings us to our original question: How do we stop it? Going back to last year’s footage, every team that beat Liverpool, or came close to doing so, was able to force an advantage through the space left behind by the fullbacks. A far more intriguing storyline to follow is whether Chelsea can also force their way into the title conversation after an epic spending spree.
