Man United have more strength in depth than Liverpool... and it counts

With Sadio Mane out for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury, Alejandro Moreno questions who will fill in for the striker.

        Don Hutchison discusses the three main things Liverpool will need to do in order to beat Jose Mourinho's Manchester United at Anfield.

Before Liverpool face Manchester United at Anfield on Saturday, in the 199th competitive meeting between English football's two most successful clubs, it is worth a brief history lesson about the changing face of a title-winning team.
Back in the 1980-81 season, Aston Villa ended the campaign as champions after using just 14 players during a 42-game top flight season, and seven of those played in every game.

Pochettino fell asleep as Lionel Messi dragged Argentina into World Cup

After Ecuador scored in the first minute, Lionel Messi took over and scored three goals to punch Argentina's World Cup ticket.

        The FC crew debate how much a World Cup should factor into Lionel Messi's standing among the greatest players of all time.

        Jorge Sampaoli says he gets emotional coaching Lionel Messi, whom he calls the best player in history. 
            
        U2 front man Bono saluted Lionel Messi following his match winning performance against Ecuador. While most of those watching the heroic exploits of Lionel Messi were transfixed, at least one member of the audience for Argentina's World Cup-salvaging win over Ecuador struggled to maintain interest.

That man was Tottenham manager (and former Albiceleste international) Mauricio Pochettino, who has admitted that he "fell asleep" before Messi scored a match-winning hat trick to haul his country from the brink of elimination and into the hat for Russia 2018.
Still, the prospect of Argentina's do-or-die...
