West Ham v Leeds buildup plus Scottish Premiership and Women’s FA Cup – matchday live

Klopp praised the squad’s ability to win a title with an ageing core but warned that last summer’s transfer activity focused too heavily on the attack, overlooking crucial gaps in the middle of defence and midfield. He noted that Mo Salah’s recent performances were more a result of personal flair than a tactical system, and that the club’s costly summer spend has not addressed its deeper structural needs. The manager’s comments come ahead of the West Ham v Leeds matchday, adding urgency to the squad’s midfield and defensive reshuffle.
