But, if you don't like Liverpool, today was a great day for you as they lost 2-1 at Tottenham. So if you are keeping track, Liverpool is the only team of the big 4 (Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool) to not gain a maximum 3 points on the opening weekend; while new money Manchester City got the maximum points in their defeat of Blackburn. Obviously it is early, but with the amount of talent at the top, Liverpool can't afford to drop a ton of points at the early part of the season and create a huge hole they will have dig themselves out of. Also, many have picked Liverpool to win the title, mostly I think on how they performed last year, but this is a team that lost Alonso and haven't really found a healthy replacement for him.
In the Bundesliga, the top three of Wolfsburg, Schalke and Hamburg are all where they are supposed to be, while Bayern Munich dropped two points at home in a tough match against Werder Bremen.
In Ligue 1, Bordeaux and Marseille are on target with maximum points from two matches while former 7 time consecutive champions Lyon sit two points adrift.
There are some midweek matches to look forward to.
