Match Analysis

Jimbo, James Horncastle, Michael Cox and Jack Lang pore over Everton’s ruthless demolition of Man United and look ahead to a (possibly) equally embarrassing Manchester derby.

VAR has certainly given us a lot to talk about on the show this year, but at some stage we just want it to stop. As Vancouver Whitecaps lost more points after a video review, we look back at the draw in Chicago on Friday night and the good, the bad, and the ugly things to come out of the game. We hear from both head coaches and look at what, if anything, the 'Caps can do to quickly turn their fortunes around. It won't be easy with two tough games coming up this week, with LAFC coming to Vancouver on Wednesday and then a long trip to Orlando on Saturday. We look ahead to both of those matches and review the weekend's action in the MLS West. Plus we imagine MLS teams as Game of Thrones house, continue our 1979 NASL Soccer Bowl celebrations, find out if Jon Erice fancies a chocolate digestive, bring back an old segment with new Whitecap Scott Sutter and The Young Boys are here for this week's Football Violence Awareness Month Wavelength.

It was all looking fairly good at half time, penalty horrorshow aside. It was looking like the Lion Ibrahimovic was sleeping tonight, with Doneil Henry as the Lion tamer. Then it all went horribly long, Vancouver Whitecaps looked a disorganised and dysfunctional mess, and another loss was handed out following another blank at home. We look back at the good, the bad, and the ugly from the loss to LA, hear from both head coaches, chat with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and ponder where the 'Caps go from here. Plus we look at the weekend's action in the MLS West, talk CPL jerseys and football clichés, continue our 1979 NASL Soccer Bowl celebrations, find out if Scott Sutter fancies a chocolate digestive, and The Business are back again in this week's Wavelength.

We have a point! From small acorns do big playoff pushes grow. Hopefully. Vancouver Whitecaps finished March with a draw against Seattle Sounders. We look back at the match, hear from both head coaches, and look at some of the 'Caps news from both heading into the game and coming out of it. Plus our feature interview this week is a chat with Spanish midfielder, and new 'Caps captain, Jon Erice. Plus in a packed show we kick off our season long homage to the 'Caps historic 1979 NASL Soccer Bowl win on the anniversary weekend of that year's season opener. We look back at what was happening that weekend, the game against Dallas Tornado, and dig into our vaults to bring you an interview we had with the wonderful Willie Johnston back in 2014.

It's been an eventful week for Vancouver Whitecaps, albeit not the kind of headlines the club would be hoping they'd be making at this point of the season. Carl Robinson's departure was a look to the future for the 'Caps, but if anyone thought it was going to have an immediate impact on the present, Saturday's loss to the LA Galaxy quickly dispelled those thoughts. We look back on the week that was, talking some more about Robbo's release and who the prime candidates are to take over from him. Marc Dos Santos may be the standout name at the top of many people's lists, but who else is in the frame? And what identity will that see the 'Caps with moving forward? We also pick over the bones of the loss in LA, hear from both interim head coaches, and bring you Zlatan Ibrahimovic's view on Alphonso Davies heading to Bayern Munich. The playoffs are still a mathematical possibility, but it's one tricky equation to make that happen. All this, plus we look at what Robbo's departure will mean to some of the current squad, play you Kendall Waston's thoughts on it all, and English punk poet Patrik Fitzgerald features in this week's Wavelength. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:03.05: Robbo's firing and the state of the Whitecaps FO40.55: Whitecaps' coaching candidates58.59: LA Galaxy v Vancouver Whitecaps analysis65.31: Craig Dalrymple audio - 69.27: More Galaxy v Whitecaps analysis77.08: Whitecaps player chat - present and future81.06: Kendall Waston scrum post-Robbo firing and discussion96.12: Zlatan Ibrahimovic talks Alphonso Davies105.36: Wavelength - Patrik Fitzgerald - No Fun Football111.32: BC Soccerweb headlines - a look at some stories from around the football world

What a weekend this could have been. Once again Vancouver Whitecaps had other results go in their favour and once again they failed to get the job done themselves. "Same again" said Carl Robinson, "not again" said the supporters. So our 300th episode isn't quite the celebratory start we'd hoped for as we pick over the bones of the 'Caps defeat to FC Dallas, but the fun soon starts to pick up after that! We have two interviews to bring you this week. First off all it's a blast from the past as we chat with Whitecaps legend Jay Nolly about his time with the 'Caps and his new career as a commentator for RSL. Next up is Rahul Kohli from iZombie to talk football, the last season of one of our favourite shows on TV right now, Funhaus, and racial stereotypes in the acting world. It's a great chat and we only wish we had double the time with him to get all our zombie questions out there! All this, plus we look at the weekend's action the MLS West, find out if Scott Arfield fancies a chocolate digestive, talk take out food with Jake Nerwinski and fish and chips with Kei Kamara, and there's a double dose of Wavelength to celebrate our milestone show featuring our favourites Half Man Half Biscuit and Frank Sidebottom.

Fire up the bat signal as Vancouver Whitecaps are going to need the help of a superhero or two if they want to get into the MLS playoffs. Or at least that's how it's looking after the 'Caps big 2-1 loss to Cascadian rivals Seattle Sounders on Saturday night. Joe Deasy joins us to look back on the game, all the big talking points to come out of it, and we hear from both head coaches. We also sit down with Whitecaps midfielder Aly Ghazal to talk about his, and the 'Caps', season so far and his recent recall to the Egyptian national team after a four year absence. Our main interview segment this week is with MLS commissioner Don Garber. We bring you the full, unedited 18 minute audio from his chat with ourselves and some other Vancouver media on Friday, as we talk about the league's growth, the schedule and playoff structure, DP's not playing on turf, how the CPL might impact the league in Canada, why Vancouver haven't hosted an All-Star game, and lots more. All this, plus we look at the weekend's action the MLS West and Los Campesinos feature in this week's Wavelength. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:04.18: Vancouver Whitecaps v Seattle Sounders match analysis38.12: Coaches audio - Carl Robinson and Brian Schmetzer46.30: Aly Ghazal interview and chat58.55: Don Garber interview and discussion91.57: MLS West Week In Review106.58: Wavelength - Los Campesinos - Plan A111.10: BC Soccerweb headlines - a look at some stories from around the football world

From the highs of Portland to the lows of Toronto. It had been a busy and mixed few days for Vancouver Whitecaps. A lot of ups and a lot of downs, so it was perhaps only expected that we got both of those in the 'Caps 2-2 draw with New York Red Bulls on Saturday. Depending on your glass half full/empty attitude to the 'Caps this season, this was either a battling point against one of the best teams in MLS this year, or two crucial points blown by an avoidable late goal. We take a look back at the match and hear from both head coaches. Coming out of the draw, and with the West looking tight but also close to getting away from the Whitecaps, we look a bit further ahead and look at the future of some players and coaches, and look yet again at the team's current defensive woes. All this, plus we hear from Tim Parker on his return to B.C. Place, talk about the mess the Vancouver Southsiders find themselves in after their recent statement about Kendall Waston, look at the weekend's action around MLS West, and Section 5 feature in this week's Wavelength. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:02.11: Vancouver Whitecaps v New York Red Bulls match analysis26.24: Coaches audio - Carl Robinson and Chris Armas33.44: The future of some Whitecaps players and coaches49.21: The Whitecaps defensive woes (again)63.13: Tim Parker interview and discussion73.22: Tim Parker Ice Cream Man75.34: The Southsiders find themselves in a hole94.07: Wavelength - Section 5 - Every Saturday98.25: MLS West week in review109.30: BC Soccerweb headlines - a look at some stories from around the football world

Big games require big performances with big moments. If Vancouver Whitecaps' showing in Portland this weekend is an indication, then the team look to have the stomach for the battle ahead. There's a lot to talk about and we have five of AFTN's finest to do just that, all of them from various places around Cascadia. With Steve home alone in upper Cascadia, and Zach stuck with a broken down car in middle Cascadia, Michael joins on the phone from the lower Cascadia coast to look back at the 'Caps fantastic win against the Timbers. A strong defensive team effort was on show and the guys break it down, with the help of some audio from both head coaches. Joe and Nick are in the house, their own one, not the studio, to bring their preview expertise to the show and look ahead to what is set to be a dramatic Canadian Championship final second leg in Toronto midweek. The 'Caps head in as the underdogs, but every dog has its day, so can Wednesday be the Whitecaps one? All this, plus we hear from Stefan Marinovic after the win in Portland, look at what the 'Caps lack of spending in this transfer window may mean, Zach joins Steve to look at the weekend's action around MLS West and Argy Bargy feature in this week's Wavelength. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:02.25: Portland Timbers v Vancouver Whitecaps match analysis23.49: Coaches audio - Carl Robinson and Gio Savarese28.32: Whitecaps' player performances v Timbers39.18: Stefan Marinovic interview and discussion52.48: TFC v Whitecaps Canadian Championship final second leg preview78.57: Wavelength - Argy Bargy - Saturday's Glory85.48: MLS West week in review108.09: BC Soccerweb headlines - a look at some stories from around the football world

Ryan goes to Dubtoberfest, Stacko discusses his banning order, Paddy does Viagra in Celtic Manor, the lads discuss their favourite documentaries and Leon Brittons Podcast breaks 1000 listens plus much much more....@amb...

August certainly feels like it could be a decisive month in terms of determining how successful we'll look back at Vancouver Whitecaps' 2018 season. It's started well. The 'Caps fielded an understrength side and took a point at New York City. Normally that would be considered a great result, and while good, it only saw them slip further behind in the chase for the playoffs. We look back at the match, hear from both head coaches, and delve into some individual player performances. We also look ahead to the first leg of the Canadian Championship final against Toronto FC on Wednesday, and hear some of the thoughts of Greg Vanney about how TFC will be approaching it. All this, plus does Kei Kamara fancy a chocolate digestive, what ice cream excites goalscorer Erik Hurtado, and we look at the weekend's action in the MLS West and The Last Resort feature in this week's Wavelength.

Alphonso Davies transfer - what does it mean for the Whitecaps's future?; Vancouver Whitecaps v Minnesota United match analysis; Doneil Henry interview; MLS chat, and more.

Vancouver Whitecaps' seesaw of a season continued this past weekend as they went down to a 3-1 loss at the hands of D.C. United in the US capital. We analyse the main talking points to come out of the game, hear from 'Caps coach Carl Robinson, and ponder where the team can go from here. We also look ahead to the midweek Canadian Championship semi-final in Montreal and get some thoughts from Whitecaps President Bob Lenarduzzi on how the club view the Voyageurs Cup. Plus a look at the weekend in the MLS West and we make Mike Petke's postgame rant on Saturday even more epic. We've got two interviews for you this week. The first is with a Canadian Hall of Famer - a member of Canada's only ever World Cup squad from Mexico 1986, Dale Mitchell. We talk World Cup memories and his hopes for what the Canadian Premier League will do for the latest crop of talent as they build towards 2026, and maybe even 2022. We also chat with TSS Rovers head coach Colin Elmes about his team's second season in the PDL and what he's learned from it to take into their third one next year. All this, plus lots of World Cup talk, World Cup Wavelength continues this week with a song from 1998, and some Canadian Premier League chat.

Just like a never ending game of snakes and ladders, Vancouver Whitecaps got themselves off a two match slippery slope, finding a rung to take their trajectory upwards again in a match between two teams that feel like they would struggle to find consistency in the dictionary. Chicago Fire came to town and left on the end of 3-2 victory for Vancouver. We look back at the highs and lows of the match and the players' performances, hear from both head coaches, Chicago's Veljko Paunović and Vancouver's Carl Robinson, and chat about some of the latest Whitecaps news, from the continuing Davies to Europe rumours to the new U23 team the 'Caps are in the process of setting up. We've got two interviews for you this week. The first is with Chicago's World Cup winner, German legend Bastian Schweinsteiger who talks to us about his move to MLS, Saturday's match and playing on turf, and his thoughts on Alphonso Davies. Next up is Whitecaps goalkeeper Stefan Marinovic as we take a trip down World Cup memory lane armed with some Panini sticker albums. We find out the first tournament he can remember watching, how this year wasn't the first year he came heartbreakingly close to being at a World Cup, and look back at New Zealand's 1982 and 2010 World Cup squads.

Vancouver Whitecaps must be wishing that the World Cup "break" was still going on. I know we do! Two defeats in two matches against two lowly teams has derailed all the good work done before the break and put the Whitecaps playoff hopes very much in trouble as they slip further behind in the points per game standings. We look back at Vancouver's Canada Day defeat at home to Colorado Rapids. What went wrong? How much of it was on the 'Caps and how much was down to the play of the visitors? And where does the team go from here? We also hear from both head coaches, Colorado's Anthony Hudson and Vancouver's Carl Robinson, plus we speak with Tim Howard, who had a lot to say about Vancouver fans and MLS security after the game. We also look back at what came out of the Whitecaps Town Hall meeting midweek and chat about a fantastic week of World Cup action and what lies ahead. Plus our exclusive chat with Kendall Waston upon his return from Russia after an eventful tournament with Costa Rica. Plus we take great joy at wallowing in Zach's German gloom and play one of the worst World Cup songs of all time, and that's saying something! We also bring you a double dose of Wavelength this week featuring Bell and Sebastian and Halftime Oranges.

Another week, another draw, another week, another match of individual errors, another week, another game of frustration. Welcome to Vancouver Whitecaps World 2018. Strap yourselves in, it's a bumpy ride. The 'Caps made it four draws in a row on Saturday at home to New England. Now they just need two more in the next two games to set a league record. Go team! We look back at the points dropped to the Revolution, where it all went wrong, where it all went right, and where do we go from here. Plus we hear from both head coaches, New England's Brad Friedel and Vancouver's Carl Robinson. AFTN writer Chris Corrigan joins us in the studio this week to talk about all that and a lot more. We also take a look at the latest news surrounding the Canadian Premier League and the latest rumours about teams here in BC. Plus how the weekend played out for the MLS western teams, TSS Rovers talk, and Pete Green makes his debut in our Wavelength section with a Grimsby Town related tune. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:03.42: Vancouver v New England match analysis30.10: Brad Friedel and Carl Robinson audio36.57: Whitecaps chat - player analysis, defensive errors, how do we replace Waston?52.53: MLS West Week in Review and NBC's manager rankings 79.25: Canadian Premier League news of the week - HFX Wanderers announced, but what's happening in BC?88.37: TSS Rovers PDL chat100.15: Wavelength - Pete Green - The Ballad Of Phil Jevons106.01: BC Soccerweb headlines

With Gideon still absent after an unfortunate incident with Daisy Duck, Joe and Nick man the barricades in a way that the Whitecaps defence can only look on at with jealousy. It's the guys first Review/Preview show of the season and for once they don't just get to look ahead all joyfully at the weekend's action to come. Now they have to suffer the pain of the Sunday crew and pick over a disappointing display by the 'Caps. Vancouver's 2-2 draw with San Jose Earthquakes is in the spotlight. What went wrong this time, as another two points were dropped at home? More chances wasted, more sloppy defending, more disgruntlement amongst the fanbase. It's not the happiest time in Whitecapsland and the guys try to address as much of that as they can. Plus we hear postgame comments from both head coaches, San Jose's Mikael Stahre and Vancouver's Carl Robinson. Can the 'Caps turn things around in a timely manner? Well we won't have to wait too long to find out, with the team heading into the intense afternoon Texan heat to face an in-form, and frankly terrifying prospect, at FC Dallas. Is this a throwaway game? Should the 'Caps just go for a near full rotation and go young? We've seen understrength teams battle for unexpected points this year, or does that only happen against the 'Caps. If we're quaking in our boots at the prospect of this one, after recent results, is there actually any team in MLS right now that we can look forward to facing? All this and more awaits your earholes in our latest episode. Have a listen!

Remember when Vancouver Whitecaps were being lauded for their excellent road record? That seems so long ago now. Saturday's 1-0 loss in Minnesota was the third straight away defeat for the 'Caps. This one against an already undermanned team that played 40 minutes of the second half with ten men. Definitely a Cinco de Mayo to forget. We look back at the high and lows from the match, talk line-ups and formations, bring you our latest player rankings, and hear from both head coaches, Minnesota's Adrian Heath and Vancouver's Carl Robinson. Where now for the Whitecaps? Did the RSL win last week just paper over the cracks or should we just be content that the team is currently sitting in third spot? We also see how the weekend played out for the MLS western teams, discuss the latest big Canadian Premier League news and other headlines, play another round of Do You Know Who I Am? and Half Man Half Biscuit return for our Wavelength section. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:02.14: Minnesota v Vancouver match analysis23.47: Adrian Heath and Carl Robinson audio33.28: Was the RSL win last week just papering over cracks?38.45: Whitecaps player analysis49.01: Do You Know Who I Am?53.07: MLS West Week in Review67.12: Wavelength - Half Man Half Biscuit - Mathematically Safe72.44: BC Soccerweb headlines - featuring Can PL, World Cup, PDL, and other news

The questions everyone wanted answered after last week's hammering in Kansas City was how would Vancouver Whitecaps' players react and what kind of mood would the fans be in. After a week building up to it, we got some answers at BC Place on Friday night. The Whitecaps got the job done against Real Salt Lake and came away with all three points, but it wasn't a performance for the ages against a pretty poor looking visiting side. Still, three points are three points and it ended the 'Caps three game losing streak. Steve, Zach, and Chris pick over the bones of it all. Is it a turning point or was it just papering over the cracks? We also hear from both head coaches, discuss the dissenting voices amongst the media and fanbase leading up to the match, see how the weekend played out for the MLS western teams, discuss the latest big Canadian Premier League news, and Culture Vulture has a song about Roy of the Rovers in our Wavelength section. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:02.20: Whitecaps v RSL match analysis30.48: Mike Petke and Carl Robinson audio36.45: Fines Lines - Dissenting voices against Robbo and the FO in the fanbase and media51.17: Whitecaps v RSL player analysis72.46: Latest Canadian Premier League news79.30: MLS West Week in Review90.12: Wavelength - Culture Vulture - Roy Of The Rovers Rap94.57: BC Soccerweb headlines

Sick of teams from LA yet? I know we are. LAFC came to BC Place on Friday night and fairly easily picked apart an uninspiring and disappointing Kamaraless Vancouver Whitecaps. We do some picking ourselves, as we pick over the bones of the 2-0 loss, ponder where it all went wrong, how it can be improved, can we cope without Kei, where's the creativity, and where do some players fit into this team. Plus we sit down for a chat with Russell Teibert and talk with Jordan Harvey about his homecoming. We'll also look at the weekend's action amongst the MLS Western Conference teams and Flyscreen feature in this week's Wavelength section with a song about Panini stickers and Willie Johnston. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:03.45: Whitecaps v LAFC match analysis28.40: Bob Bradley and Carl Robinson audio36.15: Techera's tackle and Felipe's flop42.15: Trying to solve some Whitecaps woes - home blanks, lack of creativity, fitting players in, rankings, polls, mailbag80.55: Russell Teibert interview and discussion86.23: Quick look ahead to Kansas City89.10: Quickfire MLS West Week in Review and CCL chat95.58: Jordan Harvey interview and discussion103.32: BC Soccerweb headlines114.06: Wavelength - Flyscreen - Your Phil Neal for my WIllie Johnston

Death, taxes, the Whitecaps getting screwed by VAR, and being unable to break down a poor team. That's what feels inevitable in life right now. The 'Caps headed to RSL and it wasn't so much a case of the result being taken with a pinch of salt, but the Salty ones pinching a result. We pick over the bones of a poor outing in Utah, have a look at what went wrong in the 2-1 loss, and look at the individual performances of some of the 'Caps players and Robbo. We'll also look at the weekend's action amongst the MLS Western Conference teams, bring you a Flash Five about footballing brothers, talk Fish and Chips with Gordon Forrest, chat Panini stickers, introduce our new Swap Shop segment, and Halftime Oranges feature in this week's Wavelength section. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:05.11: RSL v Whitecaps Match In Review28.12: Mike Petke audio and discussion on his thoughts on the 'Caps34.07: RSL v Whitecaps player and Robbo discussion46.28: MLS West Week In Review66.06: Wavelength - Halftime Oranges - Panini71.01: Panini Stickers74.57: Swap Shop79.16: Flash Five - Footballing Brothers87.44: Fish and Chips with Gordon Forrest91.44: BC Soccerweb headlines

Well, Vancouver Whitecaps blew it. Their first Western Conference regular season title was there for the taking, but they couldn't get the job done against San Jose Earthquakes at home. We're joined by AFTN writer Joe Deasy to look back at the match, what went wrong, and are there any positives to take from it? We'll also hear the thoughts of Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson and the Quakes' Chris Leitch after the game. They get a do over though next weekend in Portland. We preview that match and how the 'Caps might set out their stall. We also look at the lie of the land in MLS and the various playoff possibilities and implications for Vancouver now.

The ups and downs of Vancouver Whitecaps' season have been on full display over the past two games. In true Forrest Gump style, you simply do not know what you're going to get from them, apart from perhaps not that much satisfaction in their performance. We look back at the 'Caps capitulation against New York Red Bulls, and hear from both head coaches, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and New York's Jesse Marsch. What was behind the Whitecaps formation and performance? Did anyone stand out? Can we read much into how things played out? We also look ahead to next weekend's match up with San Jose, how the MLS West might play out, and talk World Cup qualifiers and Kendall Waston's big night. And there's still time to chat with Robert Earnshaw about his favourite season and talk take out food with Jordan Harvey.

Top of the Western Conference bay bay. That's where Vancouver Whitecaps find themselves this morning and long may it stay that way! Wednesday night's 3-0 win over Minnesota United sent the 'Caps to the summit. We look back at the match and hear from both head coaches, Carl Robinson and Adrian Heath. It's a week of homecomings in Vancouver as two former players take the pitch against the 'Caps. Wednesday saw one of the MLS originals back in town, New Zealand defender Michael Boxall, while Kekuta Manneh faces off against his first pro team on Saturday. We chat in-depth with both about their times in Vancouver, moving on to pastures new, and how their current seasons are going.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? The Whitecaps have won again. And they're in third place just off the lead. Are they real deal? Can they sustain this good run of form to claim a first ever Western Conference title? They got a four game home stand off to a great start against Real Salt Lake. We look back at all the ins and outs, and highs and lows, from the 3-2 win and look ahead to the next two matches against Minnesota and Columbus.

Vancouver Whitecaps are moving on up. Are they set to hit a purple patch of the season? Seven points from three tough matches bodes well, but can they find the consistency they are needing to take them down the stretch and finish in one of the top two places in the West. We look back at he home draw against Seattle and the win on the road in Orlando. The 'Caps gave up a lot of shots and a lot of possession but still came away with four points from the six on the table, moving them up fourth in the standings. What went right? What's a cause for concern? And what players stood out for good and bad reasons? We look at all that and more, plus we're joined by Radio Cascadia's Stephen Agen to look at the teams in the Western Conference right now and how things might shake out in the mix.

Well three points on the road against a struggling New England Revolution side would have been nice. We look back at one of the worst games in the season and get the postgame thoughts of both head coaches, Carl Robinson and Jay Heaps. Did any 'Caps cover themselves in glory? And what about the surprise line-up changes, can more be read in to that? We also look back at a busy week that saw players coming and going, and look ahead to the big home clashes to come, starting with next week's match with Houston Dynamo.

Vancouver Whitecaps' road trip rolled into Colorado this weekend, fighting to a 2-2 draw with the Rapids. A tad disappointing or a hard point well earned? We look at that, the highs and lows of the match, and which players stood out for all the right and the wrong reasons. With New England next up, we also look ahead at what might be in store for the 'Caps against the Revolution. With the transfer window set to close in a few days we chat to a player who could be joining the Whitecaps, Canadian international Adam Straith.

What do you do when your midfield doesn't really exist? You put Yaya Toure there by himself to hold down the fort behind a tidal wave of attacking options. It nearly worked for Pep Guardiola's side, but there was plenty to unpack from how both teams handled the opposition's approach. The two Mikes break down the match before turning their attention to "the magic of the cup." That's right, they zero in on the biggest matches and storylines in this weekend's FA Cup, from PSG vs. Monaco to Nice'...

Robbie Earle and Robbie Mustoe on Everton's come-from-behind victory to beat Arsenal 2-1 at Goodison Park. Should Gunner supporters be concerned or is this Arsenal squad still up to contend for the Premier League title? Arsenal get Man City next on Sunday who walked away with a comfortable 2-0 win over Watford but an injury to Ilkay Gundogan. Jurgen Klopp surprised many by starting Simon Mignolet over Loris Karius but Liverpool went on to defeat Middlesbrough 0-3 anyway. Plus, wins for leaders Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham as Bob Bradley and Swansea suffer a defeat thanks to a hat trick from West Brom's Salomon Rondon.
