For their next match, Liverpool should definitely have a midfield. All the best teams have one.
C'mon you are being too much of a traditionalist. Football tactics have evolved and teams that play with a midfield are going to be left behind.

After that opening 30 where Liverpool were opening them up for fun it’s been chelsea that’s been the better team. Liverpool have no control in the middle l.
Liverpool are going to struggle so badly this season if they don't get somebody in to help that midfield out.

Will be interesting to see what happens.

Chelsea dominating the midfield. Enzo looks really good. I think he will prosper under poch.

Salah two seasons ago would press the opponents backline most of the time, now he's only arsed when Liverpool is attacking. He's gotten lazy.

I was kinda hoping Sky would go back to one commentator and one co-commentator this season. This love Sky have for Jamie and Gary shite is as irritating as their constant Romesh and that toothy bloke shit they pump out.

This has been a really entertaining game. The league is going to be very open this year with lots of teams going through transition and/or playing open and expansive football. Great viewing for the neutral.

Fernandez is top quality though. He’s the one player that Chelsea have definitely got right!

Where's that guy that said Enzo Fernandez is a scam and a shit player? He'd be absolutely brilliant next to Casemiro as well.

Enzo is brilliant. I think he'll thrive in this role. Playing him as the deepest midfielder limited his creative capabilities and also exposed his difficulties defending in transition.

Adding Caicedo to this chelsea side could make them a real threat for top 4. You’re already seeing a much more fluid and entertaining side under Poch. The scousers on the other hand look weak and light in midfield.

Enzo's been brilliant. Once Caicedo comes in and let's him push forward I suspect we'll see him get quite a few assists

I'd take a draw here from a United perspective. Nice to have both these team drop early points.
