City put Pool on red alert

THE season is just 10 days old and there are 36 games and nine months ahead, so it would be foolish to make any judgment on Liverpool before the autumn leaves start to fall.

But even Roy Hodgson must be wondering, just 180 minutes into the campaign, whether the task he has taken on at Anfield is beyond him.

Even at this ridiculously early stage, it is impossible for Liverpool to ignore the fact that Chelsea have six points and 12 goals to their one point and one goals.
