13 h. ago Replacing a manager midseason is a big call, and not as simple as it sounds | Jonathan Wilson

Liverpool and Tottenham are in different situations but face the same problem: a manager in the hot seat but few ideal optionsSign up for Soccer with Jonathan Wilson hereAnother weekend, another few days of soul-searching for Liverpool and Tottenham. Liverpool had been on a 13-game unbeaten run before Saturday’s defeat to Bournemouth, but nobody could claim a string of results that included home draws with all three promoted clubs was convincing. Spurs had won just two of their 13 league games before Saturday’s away draw at Burnley, which was salvaged only thanks to an injury-time goal from Cristian Romero.For both, European competition had offered some relief – Liverpool looked very good in a 3-0 win away to Marseille while Spurs, at least in the first half, produced probably their best performance since August in beating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 – but the sad truth is that the vast majority of European sides these days simply cannot live with the physicality of the Premier League.

60 h. ago Romero’s late strike rescues point for troubled Tottenham at Burnley

Thomas Frank was brought to Tottenham as the pragmatic choice so will know that when his own supporters are demanding his sacking, he is in trouble. An underserved draw at Burnley, thanks to a last minute Cristian Romero goal, leaves Spurs with two victories in 14 Premier League matches and chants from the away end of “We want Frank out”.If the loss to West Ham resulted in crisis talks last Sunday, Frank must have feared what the next stage after that is, especially with the fans turning. Micky van de Ven gave them hope of a much-needed win but Spurs did not capitalise on the opener, allowing Burnley back into the match, with Axel Tuanzebe and Lyle Foster making the pressure almost unbearable for Frank until Romero offered respite.

1 week ago The Knowledge | Which football teams have scored after being reduced to eight players?

Plus: high-ranking nations where Ballon d’Or winners have never played and an own-goal scoring hat-trick heroMail us with your questions and answers“Last month, Lazio scored a late winner (in the 82nd minute) against Parma despite having two players sent off earlier in the game,” writes Bogdan Kotarlic. “I wonder if any team has scored a goal (or maybe more) with eight players and with three players receiving red cards before that?”There’s only one place to start: Boghead Park, Dumbarton. “In August 1991, Premier Division Airdrieonians played Dumbarton in the Scottish League Cup,” writes Bill Hall. “What looked like an innocuous tie was anything but - especially for Dumbarton’s Colin McNair, Stephen Gow and Jimmy Gilmour, who were shown red cards in what must have been a bad-tempered affair (I was there but it was 34 years ago, and I was in the pub beforehand, so memories are a bit vague).
