It may be a small sample size of two games, but this is still officially Liverpool's worst start to the season under Jurgen Klopp.
Which already makes next Monday’s visit to Old Trafford and a wounded Manchester United already look something seismic for both clubs. In the old football, the game as we knew it before this rivalry for the ages between Manchester City and Klopp’s side, a stuttering start of two draws in the first two games means nothing in the scheme of things, of course.
But football has changed. The top sides lose so rarely, even a draw is seen as significant, as evidenced by the fact over the past six seasons, the team finishing top has dropped only an average of 19 points in each campaign.
