The Shocking Downfall: Liverpool's Poor Performance Against Manchester City.

Setting the Stage: Liverpool’s 2025/26 Season Context Before dissecting the match itself, it is essential to understand the backdrop. Liverpool entered the season as reigning Premier League champions, a title they captured under the stewardship of Arne Slot, whose tactical acuity and team-building had won widespread acclaim. However, the 2025/26 season swiftly turned challenging as the Reds’ form nosedived dramatically. Consistent losses to mid-table and lower-ranked teams, including a thrashing by Crystal Palace, raised alarm bells. Financially, Liverpool had invested massively — over £450 million on new signings — aiming to compensate for the aging core and ensure competitiveness. Yet, these investments have not translated into on-field success, revealing deeper systemic issues related to player integration, tactical coherence, and perhaps leadership within the squad. The clash with Manchester City, Pep Guardiola’s side celebrating his 1000th game, crystallized these concerns in a ha...

Ruben Amorim reveals upcoming Manchester United decision.

Deal anticipated to accelerate following Sporting Lisbon's match against Estrela da Amadora on Friday.


Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim has stated that a decision on his future will be made "clear" following his team's game against Estrela da Amadora on Friday.

Following Erik ten Hag's dismissal on Monday, the 39-year-old has emerged as the leading candidate to take over in the Old Trafford dugout.

Sporting have confirmed United's interest in paying Amorim's £8.3 million release clause, and the club will apparently let the highly-rated youth coach to depart during the November international break.

Talks are ongoing, but the move is generally anticipated to go ahead as the Red Devils seek their sixth full-time manager since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013.

Speaking ahead of his Friday night match, Amorim stated, "It's a discussion between two clubs. It is never simple, even with the [release] conditions. They need to talk.

"We will get explanation after the game [on Friday], which will be clear. So there's one more day, and we'll make a choice after the game tomorrow.

United have appointed club veteran Ruud van Nistelrooy as interim manager of the first team, following the legendary Netherlands striker's 5-2 Carabao Cup victory over Leicester on Wednesday night.

Van Nistelrooy is anticipated to remain in command until Amorim arrives, which means he will almost certainly oversee Sunday's big Premier League game against Chelsea.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own.
