A new era starts for Inter Miami on Saturday night

Paul Joyce: Soft underbelly to this Liverpool squadLiverpools Collapse at the Etihad Highlights Deeper FragilityFundamentals Abandoned Under PressureCredit to The Times and Paul Joyce for a forensic breakdown of Liverpools 4-0 defeat to Manchester City, a performance he describes as a complete and utter abdication of responsibility.That verdict feels difficult to dispute.Joyce pinpoints a moment before half-time that encapsulates the chaos. Liverpool had a numerical advantage: six versus four, yet still allowed the situation to unravel. As he notes, As Arne Slot looked on, he would have thought to just see the moment out. Instead, City cut through them with alarming ease.This was not tactical nuance, it was the absence of basic game management.Witless Surrender and Repeated FailingsThe second half brought no correction. Another throw-in, another lapse, another goal. Joyce captures the broader issue with brutal clarity: both owed everything to a complete and utter abdication of responsibility.From there, the collapse accelerated. Once Haaland had completed his hat-trick, Liverpools defenders again at sixes and sevens, he writes, before delivering the most damning line: For a team whose season is supposedly on the line, this was a witless surrender.It is language that reflects not just disappointment, but disbelief.Mentality Questioned by Players and EvidenceThe players themselves offered no resistance to that narrative. Dominik Szoboszlai admitted, The fighting spirit wasnt there enough, the mentality wasnt there enough.Photo: IMAGOJoyce connects this to a longer trend, referencing Curtis Joness earlier admission that we have to run more, have to compete. The troubling aspect is the timeline. As Joyce observes, It is April now and the same brittleness and weaknesses are glaringly obvious.That word, brittleness, feels central. This is not a side lacking talent, but one lacking resilience.Warning Signs Before Paris TestFor Arne Slot, the pressure is mounting. Joyce warns of a soft underbelly to a squad that think they are better than they are, a line that speaks to both mentality and application.Even the analytical defence of the performance feels thin. Slot pointed to expected goals, yet Joyce subtly dismantles that comfort by highlighting the broader picture, moments where Liverpool were on the retreat once again after giving away possession from their own throw-in.Now comes Paris Saint-Germain. Joyce poses the looming question with quiet menace: If the display is similarly impoverished, who knows what level of humiliation and embarrassment the holders could inflict?It is not framed as a possibility, but a continuation.Our View Anfield Index AnalysisFrom a fan perspective, Joyces language lands because it mirrors what supporters are already feeling.Witless surrender might sound harsh, but it reflects the emotional truth of watching this team right now. There is a growing sense that Liverpool are not losing games, they are drifting out of them. The fight Szoboszlai referenced is not just missing in moments, it feels absent as a collective identity.The phrase soft underbelly is particularly striking. Supporters have seen teams come to Anfield or face Liverpool without fear. That was unthinkable a few years ago. Now it feels expected.There is also concern around accountability. When the same issues appear in November and again in April, it raises questions about coaching, preparation, and leadership on the pitch. These are not new problems, they are unresolved ones.PSG now becomes more than a fixture. It is a litmus test. If Liverpool respond with intensity, there is still belief that something can be salvaged. If not, the narrative Joyce outlines will only deepen.Fans are not asking for perfection. They are asking for effort, structure, and pride. At present, those basics feel negotiable, and that is why this defeat cuts deeper than the scoreline itself.

Michigan's 18-point margin of victory over Arizona is tied for the largest in an NCAA men's tournament game between 1-seeds since 1979.

Jo Adell made three home run-robbing catches, including a spectacular leaping grab while crashing into the seats in the ninth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels held off the Seattle Mariners 1-0 on Saturday night. Jack Kochanowicz (1-0) allowed four hits and struck out seven over 5 2/3 innings, and Zach Neto provided the only run, walloping Seattle right-hander Emerson Hancocks fourth pitch for a 443-foot homer in the first. Angels reliever Chase Silseth escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the seventh. J.P. Crawford led off the ninth with a drive toward the right-field corner, where Adell leaped to glove the ball, flipped over the wall and fell into the first row of seats before holding his glove up to present the catch, which was upheld after a replay review. Adell leaped high above the yellow line on the wall to deny Cal Raleigh of a solo homer in the first and made a nearly identical catch to deny Josh Naylor of a solo homer in the eighth. Jordan Romano, the Angels' sixth pitcher, then retired Cole Young on an infield popup and struck out Leo Rivas for his third save. Silseth replaced Joey Lucchesi with two on in the seventh and struck Rivas looking, Luke Raley swinging and got Raleigh to ground out to second. Kochanowicz also escaped a first-and-third, two-out jam in the first by striking out Randy Arozarena looking at an 88-mph slider and a two-on, two-out jam in the third by getting Arozarena to ground out. The Angels backed Kochanowicz with two other super plays, left fielder Josh Lowe diving to catch Dominic Canzones flare in the fourth and second baseman Ozwald Peraza diving to stop Raleys fifth-inning grounder up the middle and throwing to first. Hancock (1-1) allowed six hits over 6 2/3 innings and struck out five after throwing six no-hit innings in his March 29 against Cleveland. Reporting by The Associated Press.
