Liverpool Under Slot: Ruthless, Resilient and Built to Last

Liverpool Under Arne Slot: Built for Titles, Destined for 85 Points and More Slot's Arrival and Immediate Impact Arne Slot walked into Liverpool as the quietest of arrivals, yet produced one of the loudest statements the Premier League has seen in years. Replacing a figure as monumental as Jurgen Klopp, he assessed what he had, set a clear tone and led the club to a league title in his first season. Without bombast or distraction, Slot's tactical flexibility, composure and belief in his players reset the identity of the team. Advertisement Leadership From the Front Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah were pivotal. Van Dijk took the captaincy and restored calm at the back with the presence of a general. Salah's numbers may shift with age, but his intelligence and movement remain among the best in world football. Together, they set standards that pulled the squad with them. Both played like men determined to lift the trophy in front of a full Anfield. They were not chasing glory, they were asserting it. Brains on the Pitch Alexis Mac Allister embodied the intelligence Slot demands. Trusted to read the game and adjust without constant instruction, he became Liverpool's central problem solver. Alisson Becker, in goal, remained one of the few who does not simply play the position, but shapes how it is perceived. Both players operated with trust, knowing their instincts were valued. Slot understood the value of letting talent breathe. Advertisement Expectation for More Last season did not require 90-plus points. Liverpool won the title by controlling games, managing weeks and staying consistent. But this team is built for 85 points or more without blinking. The standard is not a high ceiling, it is a reliable floor. With this group, and Slot's measured leadership, Liverpool can expect to contend every season. Reinforcements will help, but the core already carries the rhythm and resolve of champions. Liverpool have remembered who they are. The league should take notice.

Kendrick Perkins challenges Karl-Anthony Towns to drop 15 pounds: ‘You going to be ready'

Kendrick Perkins has a suggestion for Karl-Anthony Towns. The former NBA-veteran-turned-ESPN-analyst laid into the polarizing Knicks big during his 'Perk Unplugged' show by bluntly advising Towns. 'Karl-Anthony Towns, if I was you, I'd go lose me about 15 pounds… You get 15 pounds off of you, bro, and you stay consistent… It's going to be smoke. Boy, you going to be ready. I'm telling y'all, man. I'm looking forward,' Perkins said. Advertisement Karl-Anthony Towns Jason Szenes / New York Post Perkins stressed that shedding weight isn't just cosmetic, suggesting it could significantly enhance Towns' lateral quickness and on-ball defense under new coach Mike Brown, whom the Knicks hired earlier this week. Perkins argued that conditioning, not talent, remains the only thing holding KAT back defensively. Advertisement The former Celtic has expertise in this arena, given that he was listed between 270 to 280 pounds for the bulk of his NBA tenure. Kendrick Perkins looks on before Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Finals on June 13, 2025 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. NBAE via Getty Images Towns, who turns 30 in November, posted strong numbers in 2024–25, averaging 24.4 points and 12.8 rebounds per game across 72 regular-season outings, shooting 37.1 percent from three. But his defense remained a glaring weakness, especially in the playoffs, magnified in the Knicks' Eastern Conference Finals loss to the Indiana Pacers. Advertisement Towns averaged 21.4 points and 11.6 rebounds on 49 percent shooting and 35 percent from three during the playoffs. In his first year as a Knick, Towns was also named All-NBA for the third time in his career, and an All-Star for the fifth time. This past season, the Knicks finished just 14th in team defensive rating, their second-worst margin under former coach Tom Thibodeau.

Short-handed Dodgers may be forced to make roster moves after Astros sweep

Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts could do little to counteract Houston Astros left-handers Bennett Sousa and Bryan King in the seventh and eighth innings of Sunday's 5-1 loss. Three of Roberts' four right-handed hitting reserves — Teoscar Hernandez, Kike Hernandez and switch-hitter Tommy Edman — were unavailable because of minor injuries, which could force the Dodgers to make a roster move to bolster their bench depth before Monday night's series opener at Milwaukee. That forced left fielder Michael Conforto, second baseman Hyeseong Kim and catcher Dalton Rushing, all lefties, to bat against Sousa and King, who threw scoreless innings to help the Astros sweep a three-game series in Dodger Stadium for the first time since 2008. 'Today, we had one player available, and that was the catcher,' Roberts said, referring to All-Star starter Will Smith, who is healthy but was given the day off. 'That's not a good feeling.' Teoscar Hernández, who is batting .257 with a .758 OPS, 14 homers and 54 RBIs, fouled a ball off his left foot Saturday night. A scan of the foot was negative, but he was too sore to play Sunday and will be reevaluated on Monday. Edman, who is batting .239 with a .718 OPS, 10 homers and 38 RBIs, fractured his toe when he fouled a ball off his right foot on Saturday, but Roberts said the utility player should be able to play through the injury. 'It's kind of per his (pain) tolerance,' Roberts said, 'so I don't see an (injured list) situation.' Kiké Hernández, a utility player who is batting .195 with eight homers and 22 RBIs in 71 games, has been playing with left-elbow discomfort for about a month and seems the most likely of the three to go in the injured list Monday or Tuesday. 'It doesn't affect the defense, but his swing has been compromised — yesterday (Saturday), it came to a head as far as swinging, and so we stayed away from him today (Sunday),' Roberts said. 'So with these three guys, we're trying to figure out where we're at.' ___ AP MLB: recommended
