Liverpool have made a strong start to the season, winning 11 of their opening 17 matches and prompting conversations about whether Jurgen Klopp has a squad capable of challenging Manchester City and Arsenal for the title.
However, the Reds have been fortunate in recent weeks, with late goals against Crystal Palace, Fulham, and Sheffield United proving decisive. However, despite dominating possession but failing to create any clear-cut openings, Klopp’s side were unable to break the deadlock against the out-of-form Red Devils backline.
The performance against Erik ten Hag’s side exposed Liverpool’s flaws, prompting Carragher to state that he does not feel his old club is capable of challenging for the title as a result.
He told Sky Sports: “I think it’s like Liverpool are playing a season ahead of schedule, ahead of where they should be. How good is this Liverpool team? I think the feeling was that they wanted to make it back into the Champions League for this season and then get back up there, but I think you can even speak to Arsenal supporters and wonder about their own team.
“They have that goalkeeping situation over there so it feels like there are questions around the top two right now. I don’t think Liverpool will win the league, not this year.I think they’ve had good luck so far, certainly had bad luck with the Tottenham game but they’ve also ridden on some lucky results so far.
