Are you watching, Gary Neville? Liverpool are making a MOCKERY of your predictions

Liverpool haven’t played anyone yet.

It’s December and Arne Slot still hasn’t had a challenge. The best league in the world hasn’t provided Liverpool with any games.

They’re top of the league just by default, of course. They’ve just been showing up to matches and getting a 3-0 walkover because their opponents have gotten lost on the way to Anfield.

Liverpool haven’t played anyone. 13 games in and they haven’t played anyone.

When will Liverpool get 'found out'?

Not even the most optimistic Liverpool fan could have expected the club's first post-Klopp season to get off to such a good start. Slot has come in and blown everyone away, no matter the opposition and especially because they haven't played anyone.

The Reds have been written off so many times this season.

Liverpool were supposed to finish outside the top four, according to Gary Neville.

Of course that's not the only rubbish prediction Nev has made about Slot's Reds. There's this stinker for a start. Oh, and this.

But in fairness he's not been the only one.

Liverpool got lucky on the opening day against Ipswich. They had the easiest opening fixtures. They played Erik ten Hag's United at a good time. They only drew against Arsenal even though Mikel Arteta had to field a side of 12-year-olds due to the worst injury crisis of all time.

They weren't supposed to be able to cope with competing in both the Champions League and Premier League.

Good thing they haven't played anyone, otherwise they might not be top of the Champions League as well. Good thing they didn't have to play Xabi Alonso's Bayern Leverkusen or Real Madrid.

It's now 20 games in charge for Slot at Liverpool. Played 20, won 18, drawn 1, lost 1.

With each passing game, opposition fans have said: "This is the week they finally get found out," and with each passing game, Slot and his players have responded perfectly.

When will Liverpool play someone decent?

Liverpool have now played against every team in the Premier League apart from Newcastle, Everton, Fulham, Spurs, Leicester and West Ham.

That means they've played every team in the top half aside from Spurs and Fulham.

It's getting hard not to get carried away with Slot's side this season. You would still expect them to at some point lose another game, although with how they are playing at the moment, we could be waiting some time for a repeat of the Nottingham Forest result from earlier in the year.

The Christmas period is the next hurdle that others will throw in front of the Reds. You can already hear the argument: "Liverpool will be found out in December because there are so many games."

And it's true, December will be a tough month for Slot. This win over Man City was the first of nine games this month, and Liverpool will have to rotate to keep players fresh over the next few weeks.

Slot is managing an injury crisis of his own - take note Pep and Mikel. Liverpool are set to go into this busy period without Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas. It means Jarell Quansah was the only senior defensive option on the bench for the Man City game, and will be for the forseeable future.

That's a defense that has been without the best goalkeeper in the world for six weeks, by the way.

Next up for Slot is a trip to Goodison Park in what is likely to be the last Merseyside derby to take place there.

Liverpool can struggle away to Everton, and the game is in the dreaded 12:30 Saturday slot so it's another tough challenge for the team, but one fans can be confident they'll overcome.

Maybe after that game they will have played someone?
