Time for the #TFAArchives!

Each day, Fintan O’Reilly gets deep into the 10,000+ articles we’ve written on TFA over the years and pulls out a few that might be of interest based on current events and news and sometimes, Chris Beaumont remembers to post them.

Everton defeated Liverpool 2-0 to further dent their Merseyside rivals’ title hopes. The Toffees’ second goal came directly from a floated cross at a corner, something we warned about in relation to Sean Dyche’s side just earlier this week.

Meanwhile, Arne Slot is the latest coach to be heavily linked with the soon-to-be vacant Liverpool manager’s job. Our piece shows how he translated his possession principles to Feyenoord faster than expected.

Xavi Hernández has reportedly changed his mind and opted to stay on as Barcelona boss beyond this season. We have a piece which explains how he brought some excitement to the Catalan giants’ football in 2021/22.

According to Porto president Pinto da Costa, Sergio Conceição will stay at Estádio do Dragão should he win re-election this month. Our head coach analysis piece explains why this might be a big incentive for Porto fans to re-elect Da Costa.

And that is officially it for today – we will be back in the morning with the latest analysis.
