Galatasaray won their second match of the UEFA Champions League’s league phase after playing a historic match against Liverpool and beating them 1-0, a huge result for the Turkish side.

Galatasaray failed to win their first game of the UEFA Champions League campaign, losing 1-5 to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Making up for that in the second home game and getting their first three points will be crucial for their qualification hopes at the end of the league phase.

It was obvious that Galatasaray’s players approached the match with passion, determination, and resilience despite Liverpool’s attempts to get back into the game.

Galatasaray focused on Liverpool’s strengths and weaknesses, knowing how to exploit them to create multiple goal-scoring opportunities, score one goal, and defend with intelligence and compactness throughout the match, which helped them secure their advantage.

On the other hand, Liverpool’s performance was disappointing.

The team looked unprepared, lacking attacking ideas and unable to play with more determination than Galatasaray’s defenders.

Arne Slot’s starting Liverpool lineup underwent numerous changes, some of which were not entirely understandable, even though he justified his choices by stating that certain players lacked pre-season preparation and should be rested for some games and monitored closely.

Although resting players can be understandable, doing so in a tough away match against a team like Galatasaray, who are known for being difficult to beat at their stadium in the atmosphere it creates, was a mistake by Slot.

In this tactical analysis of the match between Galatasaray and Liverpool, the aim of the article will be to look at why Liverpool lost this match and could not get back in the game.

This analysis will assess Slot’s starting XI, positions, and formation choices, as well as tactical decisions and the team’s mistakes and weaknesses, to explore the reasons for Liverpool’s disappointing result and performance.

Since the arrival of Unai Emery, Aston Villa has undergone a complete transformation.

When Emery was appointed, the club was in 16th place under Steven Gerrard, while Dean Smith’s tenure before that had also ended in decline.

Emery immediately altered the direction of travel, leading Villa to seventh, fourth, and sixth finishes across his first three seasons.

Unai Emery holds the best record among recent Aston Villa managers.

He has the highest Points Per Match (1.77), ahead of Dean Smith (1.41) and Steven Gerrard (1.18).

However, the opening weeks of the 2025/2026 EPL campaign have brought a stark contrast.

At the time of writing, Aston Villa have just won a single game from their first six in the Premier League.

This regression has surprised supporters and raised questions about Emery’s methods, the commitment of key players, and the squad's overall morale.

This Aston Villa tactical analysis explores both the tactical issues and the broader concerns surrounding squad building under Unai Emery management.

With Gameweek 7 of the Fantasy Premier League getting underway tomorrow, there is plenty to consider as we head into the final gameweek before another international break.

Things have started to take shape since the beginning of the season, and managers now have a clearer indication of which premium assets from recent years might struggle to reach the same heights this season.

Similarly, we can begin to identify budget options that could be in for a strong FPL campaign.

To help you navigate the ever-changing world of FPL, we will be discussing the leading asset so far, examining the goalkeeper who has been outperforming his peers, comparing an overperforming winger with an underperforming one, and identifying each club’s most selected FPL asset.
