Time

The game between Liverpool and Manchester City was only the 12th game of the season. It is far too early to call the Premier League title just yet despite the considerable margin of 9 points which Liverpool currently possess over their rivals.

Time can seem so permanent at times that often we forget just how much we still have left until the league title comes to an end in May. There is still six months of football to be played play. That is six months of turbulent ups and downs for both Liverpool and Manchester City. We aren’t even half way through the season just yet. So many twists and turns are bound to come up in the long season which awaits us.

Klopp’s men are bound to incur a difficult period as our Guardiola’s men bound to overcome their difficulties and return to their expected run of form. There is almost no doubt that Aguero will start scoring again, Sterling will run riot once more and Kevin De Bruyne will return to picking out pinpoint passes to cut through defences like a knife through butter. City will patch up their defence to make sure they stop dropping points. It is inevitable.

Form is temporary. Class is permanent. It is an old adage but it bodes well for the current Premier League title race.

With so much time to go, and such vast possibilities nothing can be for certain and Liverpool can easily lose their grip on the title still.

So don’t bury City just yet, and don’t crown Liverpool prematurely, there are plenty of games to be played. The Premier League has only just begun. We are still in for an exhilarating ride and as always a season of surprises.
