Updates from Sunday’s football action around Europe Get in touch: mail Dominic and follow us on BlueSky On the one hand, he did well to coax a title out of a squad whose best players are ageing; on the other, it was Jürgen Klopp’s team and it relied upon Mo Salah delivering half a season of dead-cat bounce brilliance that had little to do with anyone’s tactics. And as for this season, who signed off on all the summer business? Changing five players is never going to be seamless, but ignoring the major weaknesses in the squad – the middle of defence and the middle of midfield – to splurge on an attack that didn’t need that level of refreshment, was a colossal error.

Upon returning to Lennoxtown this week, Seb Tounekti found himself to be a man in demand. It's a situation which is unlikely to change as the World Cup draws nearer.
