Another round of Premier League action has been and gone. Here are five things that Last Word On Football learnt from Matchweek two of the Premier League.<\/p>\n
One week they have the game finished by half-time; the following week they edge the game out to win 2-1. Liverpool<\/a> are the perfect side to grind out results.<\/p>\n Liverpool were by no means at their best on Saturday as they defeated Southampton<\/a> at St Mary’s. Jurgen Klopp’s side only arrived back in England on Thursday following their UEFA Super Cup victory in Turkey. Southampton certainly tested Liverpool’s tiredness.<\/p>\n It shows the ability of this current Liverpool side. Grinding out results is what can make a side a title winner, and they may look back at this fixture with fondness in the near future.<\/p>\n It might just be two games into the new Premier League season, but Matchweek two showed that Manchester United<\/a> are making significant improvements under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.<\/p>\n Manchester United were in free-for-all towards the end of last season. However, they now look more organised in the Norwegian’s first full season in charge.<\/p>\n It may take time for changes to come into full effect, but the Red Devils have looked impressive so far this season.<\/p>\n It is surprising that this is only James Maddison<\/a>‘s second season as a Premier League. He excels in midfield for Leicester<\/a>, and may not remain at the King Power Stadium for much longer.<\/p>\n He registered his first assist of the season during Leicester City’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea<\/a>. However, the 23-year-old has completed a staggering 80% of his passes so far this season, as well as making 2.3 key passes per game.<\/p>\n If Maddison continues to impress with Leicester, then he deserves a chance with a top-six club.<\/p>\n The Eagles’ goal problems upfront are nothing new. Out of the current crop of strikers available to Roy Hodgson, Jordan Ayew<\/a> top-scored with two goals last season. Once again this season, a similar feat looks to occur.<\/p>\n Crystal Palace<\/a> lacked sharpness in front of goal in their defeat to Sheffield United<\/a>. Their best chance, arguably, came after just four minutes when Christian Benteke<\/a> blasted straight at Dean Henderson<\/a>.<\/p>\n It showed that Roy Hodgson is still lacking a goalscorer in attack. The decision not to sign one could prove costly.<\/p>\n Wholesale changes do not always work out. Sometimes, it is important to maintain the team spirit to remain in the Premier League; something that both Sheffield United and Norwich City<\/a> have shown.<\/p>\nOle Gunnar Solskjaer Is Stamping His Authority On His Squad<\/h3>\n
