Liverpool's high - octane offense has the ability to score a multitude of goals on anyone in the world, but their defense has let them down at times with some Jekyll - and - Hyde performances.
His 0 - for - 6 performance was the first time all season that Beal had failed to make a field goal prior to halftime.
Ivanovic, whose name is firmly written into Chelsea folklore for his stellar performances and big - game goals during his time at Stamford Bridge, left the Blues on deadline day.
Wenger has also kept faith with Oxlade - Chamberlain after his recent performances and excellent goal last week and there are plenty of attacking options on the bench if we are struggling, most notably the onclusion of Danny Welbeck for the first time this season.
However Zlatan's goal just before the half time and United's second half performance had them under pressure for remainder of the game.
He's scored some decent goals in his first team appearances and put in decent performances each time.
But Porto, the two - time European Cup winners, capped off a superb performance with Jackson Martinez re-establishing the two - goal deficit in the second - half.
For a change, one could say that the performance justified the result as Liverpool scored more than one goal for the first time this season.
A two - goal performance at some more or less early stage in a player's time with the club is a tried and tested recipe for winning hearts and minds.
Last time these two meet was back in december 2016 when Sergio Ramos late goal canceled out Barcelona's lead as both teams shared the spoils in what was a very underwhelming performance from both teams.
