Leicester 1-2 Liverpool: Man of the Match

We're only four games into the season but already a familiar narrative has taken hold in the post-match reaction to Liverpool's victories.

Of course, eyebrows were raised left, right and centre given the size of such an investment; a good defender for Southampton but one worthy of such an outlay?

Reds Keep It Clean, Blanking Brighton 1-0

Another match, another battle, another clean sheet. On first observation, this one looked to have come with quite a bit more effort than the previous two; Palace and West Ham.
