MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - The following are talking points from the weekend's Premier League action.
Manchester United's 4-0 loss at Everton on Sunday drew stinging criticism from pundits, including former captain Gary Neville, with many questioning the attitude of the players.
The problem is that without a high base level of fitness, that sort of sudden increase is almost impossible to maintain. The problem again is the short-term -- the next game is against Manchester City in Wednesday's derby match which Solskjaer's side must win to keep alive hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
And it wouldn't be a surprise to see a young forward, such as highly-rated 17-year-old Mason Greenwood, on the bench.When Mohamed Salah went down inside the area to earn an 81st-minute penalty, which James Milner converted to give Liverpool a 2-0 win at Cardiff, there was debate over whether a real foul had taken place.
But it is worth remembering that while he has been talked about as a talent for the past couple of years, Foden will only turn 19 in May.
