Don Hutchison 0:10
Brian Pata, senior defensive lineman from Miami, gunned down.
Unknown 0:14
The key to this case, it's Brian. An hour before he died, he was on the phone arguing with somebody. This might be a hit. You want the truth. They just want a conviction. Being placed under arrest. We had a killer amongst us. Murder at the U. Listen now.
Kay Murray 0:34
Hello and welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC. Kay Murray and Craig Burley here in the studio kicking things off with the Premier League action that we saw today between Everton and Manchester United. Just the one goal in it and it was Benjamin Shesco once again a super sub off the bench. His strike sealing the deal and giving Manchester United all three points in this game. They sit fourth in the table. Speaking of three points, they are three points ahead of both Chelsea and Liverpool in fifth and sixth respectively. And it continues the good run since Michael Carrick took over. Back to winning ways as well after that draw last time out against West Ham. Mario Melchior and Don Hutchison are joining us now.
Kay Murray 1:14
Let me kick things off with you though, Craig. What does this result tell us?
Craig Burley 1:18
Shall I go down the road of what some of our lot are saying about the Premier League and how strong it is? Man United, this Man United team are in fourth place. They're in fourth. They've had a great run. That's how strong this Premier League is. An average performance, but a great result. You know, West Ham apart, where they dropped some points. It could have been, I think, five from five. I can't remember exactly. But it's been a really good start. We saw a little clip of Jason Wilcox and I think Omar Barada behind the scenes clapping at the end of the game from the main stand at Everton because... Really, this has released some pressure for now on the board. The board that sacked Ruben Amorim and were sort of staggering around with nowhere to go.

What was the significance of Seško's goal in the Man United vs Everton match?

Craig Burley 1:58
Going to hire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. That was stupid. Maybe going to give Michael Carrick the job. Nobody really else out there. Go with Carrick. And then they sit back and go, we don't know what's going to happen. And it has been... In terms of results and performances early on, it's been very good. But in terms of results, it's been brilliant. They are very much now in the fight for the Champions League places. If I was Liverpool, I would be worried. If I was Chelsea, I'd be concerned. If I was Man United, I would be buoyant about my chances, particularly from where they were early in the season. So, yeah, this was... It wasn't... Listen, it was a game you would turn this game off in a flash. If you've DVR'd this game, get home and delete it.
Craig Burley 2:42
That's how bad it was. But that's what Everton can do to you. They're a team that are not attractive. They'll fight and scrap. They'll try and defend. They don't create a lot. And they try and make the game scrappy. And they did all that. And I think United found that a little bit tough. But Michael Carrick will be delighted with the result more so than I would say the performance.
Kay Murray 3:02
When you look at this run of results, Mario, and you see that they're in fourth right now, would you bet against them keeping that top four spot come the end of the season?
Unknown 3:12
No, no, I wouldn't. I think also because, you know, we played the game also. We know how it works. When a new man comes in, everybody gets some new energy.

How has Michael Carrick impacted Manchester United's performance?

Unknown 3:20
And I think that is one of the key parts. And also, of course, I think Eric already changed the system and everything is going better for the club. And what Craig said, he's right. You know, like you're watching a team now. They're in the up. But they've still got to fix it because, you know, they had a massive crack. He comes in, he glues the crack a little bit, but the crack is not fixed yet. So they have to make a decision in what they're going to do in the future because eventually you have a team that's building. Let's say the team gets to the Champions League. You also have to remember that this is a club that always attracts people and attracts players and individuals who want to go there.
