Based on a lot of the off-season spending I think maybe with the exception of Chelsea the title being down to the Manchester teams was more or less a foregone conclusion.

Lately I've been wondering about Liverpool. There feels like theres something amiss. This isnt usually how Klopp operates, hes been kind of out of character in his tactics and selections lately and, while I know hes not 100% responsible for transfers, the business done during the window was pretty questionable.
You can ask pretty much any pundit or supporter about what Liverpool's greatest needs were and yet nothing was done to remedy any of them. Theres no indication that lack of funds was an issue, but then why were those areas of need not addressed?
Its certainly going to be an interesting season, but I dont know that I was really convinced that Liverpool were going to contend for the title.
