Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has warned his team-mates that their current defensive form is "not sustainable" following a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Fenerbahce.

Liam Rosenior has finally addressed the intense scrutiny and online mockery that defined his short-lived tenure at Chelsea, insisting that he is far from the 'joke' he was portrayed as.

Getafe’s toothless attack has continued from last season into this campaign, and the underlying numbers suggest backing against them is the shrewder angle.

Jack Grealish’s difficult second spell at Everton has taken another frustrating turn as manager David Moyes confirmed the midfielder will not feature in Friday’s Premier League meeting with Coventry City.

Brenden Aaronson is “never going to be a David Silva type”, ex-Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford has told GOAL, with the USMNT star being told what needs adding to his game as “question marks” continue to linger.
