Respected pundit says that Liverpool can’t pick and choose trophies

Top German journalist Raphael Honigstein has rubbished the idea that Liverpool can afford to pick and choose the trophies they target next season.

Honigstein was responding to comments made by former Reds defender Steve Nicol on ESPN FC TV that he would be happy to sacrifice success in other competitions for winning the Premier League or pushing Manchester City all the way to the last game.

“If you are a Liverpool coach you have to try and win absolutely everything,” he said.

“At the end of the season you can think ‘Did we do well enough, should we have done better or were the others just simply too strong?
