Liverpool thrashed by PSV as Ekitike injury deepens crisis

Liverpool
November 2025

Liverpool’s season hit a new low with a 4-1 home defeat to PSV, marking nine losses in their last 12 games and dragging them down to 13th in the Champions League standings. Goals from Ivan Perisic, Guus Til and a Couhaib Driouech brace exposed a fragile, disjointed defence. Slot’s rotated side never settled, and the night worsened when in-form summer signing Hugo Ekitike limped off just after the hour, forcing the underperforming Alexander Isak into another goalless appearance. The Sweden striker’s ongoing drought and the team’s collapsing form will intensify scrutiny on Slot’s selections and ability to halt the slide.

Slot admitted the result was “a smack in the face” before PSV’s visit, a remark that angered many supporters who feel his tone understates the crisis.

Pep Guardiola
November 2025

Manchester City supporters were stunned to see Guardiola make ten changes for the Champions League meeting with Leverkusen, leaving Haaland on the bench and retaining only Nico Gonzalez from the weekend defeat at Newcastle, prompting jokes that the XI looked like a Carabao Cup lineup. James Trafford was recalled for his first start in a month and Omar Marmoush tasked with leading the line, turning the tie into a major audition for fringe players. After the 2-1 loss at Newcastle, the heavy rotation raised questions about rhythm, risk and Guardiola’s priorities.

Ruben Amorim
November 2025

Ruben Amorim admitted Manchester United “deserved to lose” after falling 1-0 at home to 10-man Everton, warning his side are nowhere near competing for top spots and confessing he fears a return to the damaging mentality that undermined last season. Despite Idrissa Gueye’s early red card for confronting team-mate Michael Keane, Everton dominated early, struck through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and then defended deep while United wasted 75 percent possession. Amorim said his players lacked intensity, vowed to keep working and insisted he is not walking away.

Thomas Frank (Spurs)
November 2025

Tottenham suffered a bruising 4-1 defeat away to Arsenal, producing one of their worst displays of the season as Eberechi Eze hit a hat-trick, Spurs generated an expected goals figure of just 0.07 and rarely threatened their fiercest rivals. Thomas Frank admitted the performance was the complete opposite of his intentions, apologised to supporters, criticised Spurs for losing too many duels and failing to escape Arsenal’s press, and warned their recurring lack of creativity, also seen against Chelsea, must be fixed quickly.

Morgan Rogers produced a decisive brace in Aston Villa’s 2-1 comeback win at Leeds, flicking in a clever equaliser before burying a second-half free kick, as Unai Emery’s side claimed a sixth victory in seven league games to sustain their momentum. Emery praised Rogers for playing “hungry and angry”, saying the forward responded to early-season struggles and extra attention by delivering at a vital moment, and challenged him to maintain this edge as Villa chase greater attacking consistency and another push toward the top four.

Daniel Farke
November 2025

Leeds slipped to a damaging 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa, their fifth loss in six league games, dropping them into the relegation zone for the first time this season as a furious Elland Road crowd confronted the team and intensified scrutiny on Daniel Farke.

Guardiola fumes after controversial defeat to Newcastle dents City’s title push

Pep Guardiola
November 2025

City lost 2-1 at Newcastle, with Harvey Barnes scoring twice and Ruben Dias replying, in a result that could leave Guardiola’s side seven points behind leaders Arsenal and raise new doubts over their title defence after a poor night in both boxes. City felt aggrieved that a tackle on Phil Foden did not bring a first-half penalty and that Barnes’ second goal stood despite Donnarumma’s foul claims and a tight offside call on Bruno, with Guardiola seen arguing with Bruno and a cameraman before refusing to elaborate in post-match interviews.
