Liverpool are facing challenges on the pitch, but manager Arne Slot remains confident that improvements are coming. The Premier League champions have struggled to break down more defensive teams this season, and recent defeats to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray have highlighted inconsistencies in their play. Slot has emphasized that the team’s issues are not new. Since last season, opponents have adapted their tactics to stifle Liverpool, making it harder to convert possession into goals. The club’s summer signings, including Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez, are still adapting, while Alexis Mac Allister is yet to regain full…

TikTok has been found to direct children’s accounts to pornographic content after only a few clicks, according to a report by the campaign group Global Witness. The researchers created fake accounts using a 13-year-old’s birth date and turned on TikTok’s “restricted mode,” which is meant to limit exposure to sexually suggestive content. Despite these safeguards, TikTok suggested sexualised and explicit search terms through its “you may like” feature. The recommended searches included phrases like “very very rude skimpy outfits” and “very rude babes,” escalating quickly to more explicit terms such as “hardcore pawn [sic] clips.” For some accounts, these suggestions…

The reigning Premier League champions struggled defensively and lacked creativity, leaving manager Arne Slot with more questions than answers. The game’s decisive moment came early when Galatasaray were awarded a penalty after Ilkay Gündogan and Baris Alper Yilmaz broke through Liverpool’s makeshift defense. Osimhen calmly converted, drilling the ball down the centre past Alisson. The result would have been more decisive had Osimhen not missed two clear second-half chances. Liverpool had a late opportunity to equalize in the 89th…
