And the first 20 to 25 minutes when fatigue shouldn't have been a problem. But I think this is partly down to the fact that Liverpool play a faster paced game than Chelsea's more technical style.

That's just a quibble, though, as our formation was definitely the bigger problem. But that's also down to our preseason, at least partly; with just three matches it's more difficult to get players used to new formations (or, in this case, figure out that the formation doesn't work), especially when the timing forces your hand regarding squad selection.

Yes. It takes time to get used to a new style of play and with new players as well then, as a Man Utd supporter, I hope it takes half a season
