Best time to try things is pre-season, but Henderson really shouldn't play on the right again. He's definitely a midfielder (not in the Gerrard sense, i.e. the bestest in the world), playing out wide really isn't his game unless you're playing him there purely for work rate/defensive ability, which would be odd.

Rotherham United fan here, off to a good start against Oxford United, 1-0 win, could have easily gone the other way though!

Against my better judgement I watched a small part of the Everton-Villarreal game. Apart from watching an apparently unfit Villarreal team run rings round Everton, the only thing of note was Everton's own fans quite clearly booing their own right-back (or number 2 anyway, Hibbert?) Why was that?

I might be going a bit out in left field here, but I'm assuming it's because he is utter sh*te.

A post that is not about Liverpool. I am impressed.

Saw bits of the game and it was hard going at times. Like Holloway said, if that had been in the Premier League Blackpool would have lost 3-1.

As for Hull City, the KC Stadium saw fewer goals than any other Championship ground in 2010/11 (3icon_cool.gif. More of the same I think.

Not a great start to De Gea's Unites career.

He's always been susceptible to the odd long ranger.

Where's that middle-finger emoticon?

Brilliant goal from Nani. A decent charity shield for once

Great game, that. City were poor at best, but it's early doors and i'm sure they'll get better. Impressed with Young, i said he had some impressing to do (IMO) and today surely helped. Smalling looked impressive again, albeit at at RB, and Jones looked fairly solid for 45 minutes. Error from De Gea gave that tree-stump Dzeko the opportunity to look good but that was all Dzeko did all game, and bottled his chance to win it just before the Utd winner.

Schoolboy error from Kompany. Looked devastated at the end.
