3 h. ago Michael Owen wrong to claim winning the league not enough, says Arne Slot

Slot: ‘Nothing else matters’ if Liverpool win league titleOwen suggested cup exits left ‘bitter taste’ on seasonArne Slot has hit back at Michael Owen’s suggestion that the Premier League title would not be enough for Liverpool this season by insisting nothing matters more than becoming champions of England again.The former Liverpool striker was taken to task by Virgil van Dijk after the Merseyside derby on Wednesday for claiming the campaign was “building into something really special” until Slot’s team exited the Champions League and lost the Carabao Cup final.

The City midfielder made his teammates look like geniuses and once more he is making just the right move at just the right momentNot for the first time, Kevin De Bruyne read the situation to perfection. Not for the first time, he spotted the right play just a little earlier than everyone else.

No sooner have you pulled a crisp, clean sheet on to your bed than it is time to strip it off and start over. Blink and a clean towel becomes dirty. Somehow, lives, careers and relationships must fit into the tiny slivers of time between loads.I don’t enjoy laundry; give me dish duty any day.
