Two points given away for no reason.
This Liverpool has good moments now, and it shows lots of promise, but it's also clearly not a footballing machine.
We are not losing games, but this is an extremely expensive kind of mediocrity, and it's unsustainable as it stands.
If Arne Slot bought himself some time holding Arsenal to a draw, today he burnt a great deal of credit.
The team doesn't look like it's floundering, but at the same time it's the strange kind of situation where it's good enough to be near the top, whilst also unequivocally never going to reach the top on current form.
It's a great position to be, for Aston Villa.
Not for Liverpool.
