      ‘He played for us didn’t he?’ – Arne Slot hits back at Michael Owen’s claim that winning Prem’s not enough for Liverpool

Like I said, it’s still looking very special in my eyes.”I think what you said, at the start of the season, I think no one expected us to even try to fight on all four fronts, obviously we’re at the stage now where we’re still fighting for the biggest, and that’s the reality.”It’s still a possibility that this season will be very, very special.”Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKVan Dijk has been a pillar for the Reds this seasonCredit: RexAhead of Liverpool’s trip to Fulham tomorrow, Slot backed up his captain.The 46-year-old said: “Let me understand it right, Virgil was a bit frustrated because it came across as it’s not enough to ‘only’ win the Premier League?Liverpool boss Arne Slot left with sense of shock after Champions League penalty shoot-out exit against PSG “Michael (Owen) played for us, didn’t he?

      How Andre Onana went from skipping school and playing barefooted to overcoming double ban to play for Man Utd

      by

      BY the age of 11, Andre Onana had already made up his mind – school wasn’t for him and goalkeeping was.His journey has been tough. But his spirit has always been strong.Andre Onana skipped school, played barefooted and overcame two bans on his journey to Man UtdCredit: AFPHe was born in a tiny village in Cameroon and only had his eyes for football from a young ageCredit: GettyOnana has needed all that mental strength at Manchester United amid a period of ups and downs.His fortitude has been tested after his wife Melanie Kamayou was robbed of her £62,000 Hermes Birkin bag and a Rolex watch outside a Cheshire restaurant.The robbery is the latest challenge for Onana.It took the 29-year-old a while to settle into life at Old Trafford and he became a figure of ridicule due to several mistakes soon after he arrived in the summer of 2023.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLDespite another tough season at United, Onana has looked more composed between the sticks and has an FA Cup medal to his name. Success at Wembley feels a world away from being born in the tiny village of Nkol Ngok, 84 miles away from Cameroon’s capital, Yaounde.As a boy, Andre would skip school to go watch his elder brother Christian play football.Join SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plusin-depth coverage and exclusives from Old TraffordHis parents tried to force him to focus in class, but his brother, a goalkeeper whose influence would eventually rub off and shape his future, says it was impossible to stop him from coming along with him.Most read in FootballHe told SunSport: “It’s so hard to stop Andre when he sets his sights on something.”When he was five, I remember once he wanted to come with me to training, then I was playing for a second division team.“So I tried to deceive him. I told him to get changed and, when he went in, I went to training. Can you believe he walked all the way by himself to the training park? “I was shocked when I saw him, and I tell you, this is like a 30-minute walk from where our home is. He was just relentless for that age.”Ruben Amorim admits he and Man Utd players ALL fighting for their jobs between now and the end of the seasonIf you’re born in a country like Cameroon, opportunities are limited.You need a combination of sheer grit, determination, and an unshakable mental capacity to even stand a chance. Onana had all that when he joined his first football club ASVP.Located in Yaounde, they would play barefooted and when the nail on his big toe was ripped off, he would tie a cloth round his toe and continue playing. Onana shone out in matches against clubs from other parts of Cameroon and there were attempts to get him to move upfield, but he enjoyed being a goalkeeper, denying goals instead of trying to create them.The first sign of the player who has graced European football came when Fundesport, a club owned by Cameroon and Barcelona legend Samuel Eto’o, organised a nationwide tournament to pick the best young players. Christian explains: “This is where I started to see the future for him.”Andre was picked from Yaounde and others from other parts of the country by Fundesport, who had connections. And of course, it was owned by Eto’o, and he is like a god to us, so there was belief that if you played in his team, you could go to Europe.”Life has a way of connecting the dots. At Fundesport, Onana tasted just a small part of what professionalism was, they played in kits, he had gloves, and they would occasionally travel to Europe to play in tournaments.It was at one of those invitational events that Barcelona’s La Masia academy spotted him, and signed him up straight away. Andre Onana was brought to Europe by BarcelonaCredit: GettyHe was initially scouted by a team owned by Cameroon hero Samuel Eto’oCredit: APFor years, La Masia had signed Cameroonian players as they desperately tried to discover the next Eto’o.But try as they did, it just never happened, and Onana was the last Fundesport player to be signed by La Masia. Samuel Aroko, his junior coach at ASVP, told SunSport: “I remember when he got to Barcelona, it was like a party for everyone at ASVP. “We knew he was good, but we just never knew he would get to Spain as quickly as he did.“It’s credit to him what he’s made of his career, you can’t get there if you give up easily. “Historically, Cameroon has always had great goalkeepers, but the way he plays today is the same way he played back then, with his hands and feet and always looking to make a difference.”La Masia came with its own challenges. In his mind, he’d gotten to the holy grail. He was finally in Europe, he was going to be earning big-money and the weather was cooler than the constant baking heat in Cameroon. But all that would come crashing down when he found out that a Fifa ban on youth transfers meant he could not play for the club for 18 months.When he returned, he played in a junior Champions League game for Barcelona against Ajax and it opened a new chapter.His brother Christian said: “That is where Ajax saw him and said, ‘For the way we develop players, he is the main man’.”At Ajax, there was a plan. He was made the first-choice goalkeeper for the second team, but every now and then, he would come onto the bench for the first team. Their No1 Jasper Cillessen moved to Barcelona for £11.1m, but Ajax still felt Onana wasn’t ready for top-level football.They signed Tim Krul from Newcastle on loan, but he arrived with an injury that would need at least three weeks to heal. The former United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was working at Ajax and before handing Onana his debut said: “I believe in you. I know you’re young, but don’t be scared. You are talented, you’ve got a chance here, take it.”As fate would have it, Onana’s first game ended in a 2-2 draw, his second game they won 2-1 and he saved a penalty, and his third game Ajax won again. You don’t fix what isn’t broken, so he kept his spot and Krul had to move elsewhere.But then another ban reared its head, threatening to destroy not only his career but his reputation at a time when he was a growing star in European football. He was an international at 20, a Europa League finalist at 21, a Champions League semi-finalist at 23, leader of a brilliant young Ajax team on course for the title. But his career seemed on the edge of collapse at 24.He had taken medication prescribed for his wife while feeling unwell and furosemide, a banned substance because it causes increased urine production and can be used to flush the system of other prohibited substances prior to doping, was found in his urine sample. After his ban, Onana said: “I’m just a number. They can’t deal with it case by case. I think they should, but there are rules, and the rules are the rules.“The doctors said [furosemide] is for water retention and doesn’t benefit you. They recognised it was a genuine mistake, but you’re responsible for everything in your body. If I buy a bottle of water that turns out to be contaminated, it’s my responsibility.”The Court of Arbitration for Sport would find “no significant fault” and reduce his ban from 12 months to nine.Christian revealed: “It was maybe the toughest I have ever seen him be.“There was genuine fear in his eyes, and he would be on the phone with family all day, but to be honest, his agents Miguel and Albert Botines were incredibly supportive.“They were more than psychologists, and they made sure Andre felt confident and counted down the time until he was back. They worked hard to take him to Inter Milan.”Onana caught the eye in the 2023 Champions League finalCredit: APAt Inter, he was met with Samir Handanovic, the veteran goalkeeper and club captain, but instead of competing, Onana took the role of a junior brother. He’d go to Handanovic for tips and the Slovenian instantly took to him.They shared the games until it became clear that the future was Onana. His presence in goal, his distribution, his footballing brain and his athleticism was on full show against Manchester City in the Champions League final.It was a performance many consider as one of the best goalkeeping displays in the history of the competition.That would end his one and only season at Inter before United made him the third most expensive goalkeeper in the world after agreeing a £47m deal.Things have not been easy for Onana since moving to the Premier League, there has been match-winning saves but also high-profile howlers.Read More on The SunHis future at United is said to be uncertain amid interest from Saudi Arabia.But if he stays in Manchester beyond the summer, there is no doubt he has the mental strength needed to help the club battle the tough times and get United back at the right end of the table.There has been ups and downs during his spell between the sticks for UnitedCredit: Getty More

      Spurs can’t fall into the Ten Hag trap with Ange even if he somehow wins the Europa – he looks lonely, isolated and DONE

      by

      TOTTENHAM cannot afford to fall into the ‘Erik ten Hag trap’.Manchester United were all but certain of giving Ten Hag the elbow at the end of last season.Ange Postecoglou lost his rag after Tottenham lost 1-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday nightBut Tottenham cannot afford to fall into the ‘Erik ten Hag’ trapCredit: ReutersEveryone was aligned with the plan — he had to go.And then came the FA Cup final. United somehow managed to beat Manchester City and, for a brief moment, everything looked rosy.Sir Jim Ratcliffe mulled it over and over and eventually he decided on  an almighty U-turn that included giving Ten Hag yet another summer to spend money they didn’t have.And what happened? Nine games into the new season, with just three Premier League wins on the board, they realised they had been duped. It was the same Ten Hag as before. He finally got the chop and United have failed to recover since.Tottenham simply have to look at that situation and think: “Let’s not do that. Let’s not fall into that trap with Ange Postecoglou.”The Spurs boss looks done. No matter what happens, he is gone.And yet everyone is saying that Ange will save his job if he somehow turns things around and guides the club to the Europa League trophy come May.What difference will that make? It just prolongs the inevitable, just like United did with Ten Hag. And look how that ended up.In years gone by, winning a cup would be enough to keep a Spurs manager in the job. Not any more.James Maddison reveals awkward confrontation with Tottenham fans That’s how bad things have become.Spurs and chairman Daniel Levy cannot afford another calamity of a season after this one. But then who do they get next?Mauricio Pochettino seems to be flirting with the idea of a return but he surely won’t be available until after next summer’s World Cup. So what do they do until then?Postecoglou claimed the cupping of the ear to his own fans was because he wanted them to celebrate. Come on. That f***ing wound me up. Does he think we are stupid?Troy DeeneyI have watched Ange’s post-match Sky interview from the defeat at Chelsea about eight times now and my conclusion is that he went there with an agenda and stuck to it.He was expecting people to hammer him — he was expecting there to be nasty questions and the reaction was so unnecessary and odd.I don’t think the interviewer, Patrick Davison, did anything wrong.Postecoglou then claimed the cupping of the ear to his own fans was because he wanted them to celebrate.Spurs fans took to the streets chanting ‘we want Levy out’ in a protest against the club’s ownership in FebruaryCome on. That f***ing wound me up. Does he think we are stupid?Those are the actions of a man who is incredibly frustrated and under pressure.After all, he is human, and that whole club is so f***ing toxic. The whole place needs a revamp.But as a result, Ange has got into this weird, messy state of desperately trying to control the narrative in the most awkward, cringeworthy way possible.He looks like one lonely, isolated guy, especially at full-time at Stamford Bridge.Tottenham fans were angry after another dismal loss at Chelsea this weekThat being said, I am not surprised he did not go over to the away end to applaud them at the end. He got that right, at least.There’s no point stoking the fire even further to get even more abuse.What concerns me is that Ange looks to have no one to bounce ideas off or to seek reassurance from that he is saying the right things and making the right decisions.And why is he still sticking up for this group of players?For too long Spurs have brought in mediocre players who are not up to it to take them to the next level.For Spurs to change, they need to figure out what they are.Are they wanting to be top-four challengers? Are they wanting to simply compete for cups? Do they just want to be a nice, entertaining team  neutrals enjoy watching?At the moment, they aren’t anything — and that’s the biggest concern of the lot.CHELSEA RATINGS V SPURSCHELSEA hung on to clinch a controversial 1-0 win over bitter London rivals Spurs.Here’s how SunSport’s Lloyd Canfield rated the Maresca’s players.SANCHEZ – 7Much has been made of the goalkeeping situation at Chelsea this season, with both Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen failing to live up to the standards the home supporters expect. It was the former selected today, and while far from the greatness of Petr Cech, in fairness to him he put in a good display. Question marks came up once more when his blushes were spared by VAR, having been beaten from range by Pape Matar Sarr, but he made up for that with a crucial (even if dramatic) save at the death to stop Spurs levelling the scoring. GUSTO – 6Malo Gusto’s inclusion in the starting XI would’ve taken a few fans by surprise, especially given the electric impact Reece James had on international duty for England. That said, he actually started the game very brightly with a huge block in his own box and a shot that had the fans next in ecstasy, only to realise the ball had hit the side netting and not gone in.  Despite doing enough at the back, he disappointed somewhat with his passing, and the Blues look more comfortable with Marc Cucurella inverting into midfield. CHALOBAH – 8With Wesley Fofana returning to the medical table, where he has admittedly spent most of his time this season, the January re-call of Trevoh Chalobah was needed once more. He’s been a very capable deputy for Big Wes, with a strong physical element to his game as well as a good passing range and ability. It was his long ball over the top that created havoc in the first 50 seconds of the match, leading to Van de Ven hitting his own post. COLWILL – 8A rock personified. Levi was utterly dominant at the back tonight, with a performance that showed just why he is so highly rated by Chelsea fans. Coming up against fellow Cobham academy product Dominic Solanke would’ve been no easy task, but he marshalled him brilliantly and was strong in the air and on the ground. CUCURELLA – 9With Chelsea’s Player of The Season voting being announced this week, Marc Cucurella has been a name on the lips of many this week after what has been his best career campaign. He was influential once more, this time more in the defensive phases, whereas it’s been his forward play that has earned him so many plaudits this season so far. Crucial tackles, winning the ball back high up the pitch, and an eye for a pass too, it was another good display from the Spaniard despite not stealing the headlines. CAICEDO – 9 Enzo Maresca had a look of horror on his face when his star midfielder went down in some real discomfort with his hamstring after a challenge on Djed Spence early on.And rightly so, as his importance to Chelsea this season cannot be underestimated, with the Ecuadorian sensational once again. Many would’ve taken the easy way out after picking up a knock, but not Moises, he battled until the very end, hobbling occasionally but stepping into challenges full of heart when his team needed him most. Had his wonderful half-volley into the bottom corner not been ruled out by VAR, he would’ve had a perfect 10. FERNANDEZ – 9Enzo Fernandez does not shy away from a big occasion, and boy did he step up when it mattered for Chelsea tonight. He perhaps should’ve opened the scoring in the first half when Cole Palmer squared the ball across the box, but he wasn’t able to get that vital touch to divert it into the net. The Argentine though, who shone for his national team against Brazil in the break, was on hand to make amends as he nodded a delightful Palmer delivery into the back of the net to make it 1-0 just after half-time. His passion and love in this side is unmatched which makes him a fan favourite here – and the home fans will feel their £200m midfield was worth every penny tonight. NETO – 6The return of Nicolas Jackson saw Neto back in his favoured position on the right wing tonight, rather than playing as a striker. Neither of Chelsea’s wingers were massively impactful, but the Portuguese star was probably the better of the two on the night, shown by him being switched to the left when Noni Madueke returned. Generally it was more of what we’ve seen from Neto so far this campaign, a lot of hard work and some flashes of good technical ability – but not the kind of end product Chelsea need at the moment. PALMER – 8His performance in the away leg of this fixture was the epitome of Cole Palmer at his ice-cold best, if you think back to his panenka penalty and Man of the Match display at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. But things have changed since then for Cole, with his poor form undeniable since the turn of the year. After battling through injury and illness, many saw this as a chance for Palmer to burst back into life and get his season back on track, which is exactly what he did. A supple second half cross landed on the head of Enzo Fernandez who finished with aplomb, giving him his first direct goal contribution in NINE games. He was a difference maker tonight, and can hopefully kick on for the rest of the season.SANCHO – 4Groans rung around Stamford Bridge when Jadon Sancho was on the ball for much of the first half, with fans frustrated at his lack of desire to just hammer a shot at goal like he did in the away leg to score. It just so happened that one of the Blues’ best chances of the first half fell to his right boot, and when he finally did have a go it was superbly denied by Vicario in the Spurs net. Jadon was replaced by the returning Noni Madueke midway into the second half to loud applause. He is going to to offer more in terms of chance creation and goal threat to convince the Blues to keep him come the summer window. JACKSON – 6Nicolas Jackson being back was a huge boost for Chelsea in this game, and cause for excitement for the home support, particularly given his excellent record in London derbies. A physical presence in the box is something the Blues have missed so much while playing Christopher Nkunku or Pedro Neto up front in his absence. That strength and desire almost paid dividends after just 50 seconds as Van de Ven struck the ball off of his shin and onto the post. Unfortunately that was about it for Nico today, he couldn’t get his comeback goal.SUBSNoni Madueke (Jadon Sancho, 67) – 6Chelsea fans were pleased to see Noni back from injury at last, and he will no doubt be a welcomed boost to the squad as we close in on the end of the season. He may have been more impactful had he been selected from the off by Maresca, with the winger needing to do a lot of defensive work as Chelsea looked to keep their 1-0 lead. His desire and work rate was much appreciated by the crowd. Reece James (Nicolas Jackson, 82) – 6A leader in this side, Reece was bought on at the right time to help his side see out the game. He didn’t have much opportunity at all to venture forward, but did everything asked of him. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Enzo Fernandez, 90+1) – 5Had 10 minutes to see the game out and help his side defend the lead, with his energy helping put some pressure on Spurs to move quickly. Tosin Adarabioyo (Cole Palmer, 90+1) – 5The ‘Uncle’ of the squad was bought on at the death to help marshal his team to victory, which he did. Provides composure and strength at the back for the Blues, and has been a valuable asset to his side this campaign.  More
