That was Liverpool’s first defeat in the league this year?

They've got Bournemouth at home on the weekend, so I think they'll bounce straight back.
Bit of a tricky run after that, though.
Newcastle (H), Everton (A), Wolves (H), Chelsea (A), Brighton (H), Arsenal (A), City (H).
Ok, Everton are **** but it's a derby and the others are all tricky, at the very least.

You would think so.
Just as I expect they are taking notes on a Spurs
MF that includes both Bentancur and Hojbjerg.

From the looks of things so far this season, rival managers see doubling up against our left flank as a means to keep Son quiet. Chelsea and Wolves set up in exactly the same way, especially Chelsea would seemed to have fourteen players on the pitch as they managed to triple up on Son regularly enough

In other words, Deki's job this season is to drag that second player towards the opposite flank

Was that performance by United last night papering over the cracks?
Just like Chelsea's performance against us.
It's their huge rival. If they don't raise their levels in that game , then when will they? Also the fans are behind the team, cheering every tackle.

It definitely shows their potential. The challenge for any coach and group of players though is to replicate that intensity and focus, or close to it, over the course of a season. For any team, not just United, that’s a player issue (quality and player leadership) as well as a coaching one.
 
10 Premier League sides playing in the League Cup tonight.
Everton and Wolves lead, the latter by two goals. Jimenez starts and scores.
Villa and Bournemouth trail. Gerrard out?
