Midfield malfunction: Liverpool's balance problem after Fulham draw

Liverpool’s 0-0 stalemate with Fulham exposed a midfield balance crisis for Andoni Iraola: fatigue drained intensity, the system lacked a dedicated holding midfielder, and Szoboszlai and Gravenberch couldn’t control the middle, while Tsimikas underperformed at left-back and Kerkez has no clear rival for his spot. Mac Allister showed a late uptick, Nyoni could be a fresh option, and Iraola must rethink personnel ahead of Tottenham.

Liverpool hunt for long-term sporting director after Hughes exit

Liverpool are seeking a new sporting director after Richard Hughes left, with Fenway Sports Group overseeing the process and a swift appointment desired. Internal candidates like David Woodfine and Julian Ward are in the mix, along with Pedro Marques, and possibly Luis Campos, though external options remain under consideration. The successor will work with manager Andoni Iraola to stabilise recruitment, decide on key contract issues (Alisson’s deal ends this season and Virgil van Dijk’s next summer), and plan potential midfield reinforcement as Mac Allister’s contract situation looms, all against a backdrop of a post-summer overhaul at Anfield.
