I thought that too, but if City are much more vulnerable this season (which is still a big if despite how important Rodri is) it might open the door for Liverpool as well as Arsenal. Certainly I would favour Arsenal but I think writing off Liverpool entirely is a bit dramatic.Slot is certainly a tactical genius, but there is no chance for Liverpool this season
It's his 1st year, and the players are learning from scratch stuff
Plus it's even questionable if he wants to work with everything he found. We see for instance that he rates Gravenberch much more than Klopp, while he doesn't rate Endo for instance.
More work to do to have a Slot team
I agree though that the smart money is on either Arsenal or City.
Gravenberch is a good player in my opinion, he just wasn't being used correctly before and even before Liverpool you could see he had ability and athleticism, he just needed time to put it all together. He's 22 now, still young but not incredibly so, so should start to fulfil more of his potential in the coming years. I hope he doesn't regress anyway.
I do get your point though. I just wouldn't discount Liverpool wholly.
