Former boss Erik ten Hag was often criticised for not doing so, especially given he opted to overlook full-back Alvaro Fernandez when both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia were injured, with the Spaniard then going on to join Real Madrid. With players such as Bryan Mbeumo, Amad and Noussair Mazraoui all soon set to head off to the Africa Cup of Nations, Amorim was asked earlier this week whether the club could look…...

18+ hour, 37+ min ago (443+ words) The Spurs boss spoke honestly after his side were well beaten in the North London derby Spurs were left humbled in the North London derby as Arsenal, inspired by the brilliance of Eberechi Eze, ran riot at the Emirates.

How Arne Slot's Liverpool hangover compares to previous post-title slumps
16+ hour, 12+ min ago (803+ words) The Dutchman is not the first Premier League winning boss to struggle in the following season Liverpool's decline this season has been dramatic and unexpected, after a summer spending spree that was expected to result at the very least in a sustained title defence. But the Reds are languishing in mid-table after a dismal run of six defeats in seven Premier League games, the latest of which was a 3-0 reversal at home to Nottingham Forest. It is already two more losses than Liverpool had in the entirety of their 2024-25 title-winning campaign, and pressure is beginning to mount on Arne Slot, even if there is still plenty of credit in the bank.
