According to Arne Slot, the main evil destroying the Premier League is time-wasting, a strategy that has unjustly hindered Liverpool’s otherwise outstanding season.

The manager of Liverpool used the chance to air his main grievance after easily winning the league title.
Slot admits that some clubs have deftly changed their tactics to challenge Liverpool’s supremacy, but he is certain that the Reds were frequently hindered by a method that has become all too typical in the games where they stumbled, with eight draws and three losses in 36 games.
The Dutchman expressed his annoyance by saying: “Teams got to know us better and tried to find answers to our playing style.
“But one of the things you cannot do anything about is that tactics are being used that have nothing to do with football.
“Delaying the start of the game, pretending you are injured, taking one minute for a free-kick, one minute for a throw-in. That is my main worry.
Ahead of their game against Brighton and the upcoming Europa League final between Manchester United and Spurs, Slot noted that the league’s format modifications could lead to an increase in the dominance of English teams, reports Express.
