Hello and welcome to Off the Bench. I'm Sam from FPL family.

0:18.2

And I'm Harry from Fantiful Scouts.

0:20.6

So Harry, Game we three finished with

0:21.9

Liverpool's hugely shocking defeat against Manchester United. I don't think that that was something

0:25.9

that any of us were necessarily expecting, although maybe we should have been because Liverpool's

0:31.7

form going into this one wasn't hugely great either, but because Manchester United had been on a

0:36.7

difficult run,

0:37.8

I think we were all kind of expecting that Liverpool would overcome their problems and win this

0:42.7

one. Yeah, two teams going into this game, both not on good form. Liverpool only picking up two

0:47.7

points from their opening two games as well, but Manchester United, I think their form was

0:51.5

probably the more concerning of the two. The home fixture, maybe we should have thought slightly favoured it towards Manchester United, but I still

0:57.7

expected Liverpool to come out on top there. But the performances, although I think the possession

1:02.6

statistics for Liverpool were much better, we didn't really see them get into their groove again

1:07.0

for the third week in a row now. So how did your game we go generally? Was it massively

1:10.8

down because of the Liverpool performance? It wasn't massively down. I actually captained

1:14.8

Sala and although he didn't have one of his best games, he popped up with a goal, as Sala often

1:18.9

does. But 16 points for him and I actually sold Robertson going into this week. So quite happy with

1:23.9

that. Oh, you did all right. Yeah, I moved to Reese James, so not that much better, but I think a lot of us looking at

1:28.9

our defenses going into this week, we thought we get a lot more points than maybe we did, maybe

1:32.9

those with Brighton defense like Sanchez and Gold did better.

1:36.4

I had brought in Pascal Gross as well, wish I'd gone with Rodrigo now, but still six points

1:40.9

for him is okay and Halland up front and then Martinelli as well, like a lot of people have now.
