Manchester United found a way to win and the resolve they showed means they may actually be a legit threat to Liverpool's throne. That said, we don't think so. We discuss how a thoroughly unpredictable season seems to be heading to a pretty familiar conclusion in most of the top leagues with a couple of notable exceptions.   

One of those exceptions, Barcelona, also goes under the microscope. We wonder what the club's direction is and once again question the decision to appoint a manager like Ronald Koeman. We also praise Club America's managerial appointment but predict that it won't end well and suggest that Brighton should find itself a new manager after yet another failure by Graham Potter and his players.
