🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

unlike Liverpool we’re going to move straight on to them because you watched them beat Real Madrid on soccer special last night was it a case of Real Madrid just not being great or actually in fact Liverpool just being super impressive oh you got to give credit to Liverpool Liverpool destroyed them in my opinion I thought they were far far far superior far better team and I think bellingham’s come out and said that you know that Liverpool are the best team in Europe at the moment and you know I don’t think you could argue with that the way they’re played at the moment I thought they really good Jesse weren’t great first half but stepped it up second half stepped it up and quarter hard to make a few good saves and and they score the goals and Salah misses the penalty very impressive very impressive you know I said on soccer special you the Premier League n Man City to win this weekend because at the moment you know if Liverpool go and win this and go 11 points clear of Man City that’s a big ask you know I think it’s a bit disrespectful when people and everybody’s going oh this 20 or 27 games left Long Way Liverpool Liverpool are a good football team you got to remember last last year they were right up there to the end they got a lot of points last year this is they haven’t come out the blue you know last year they had a little bit of a sticky run at the end but you know they were there and thereabouts so it’s not like they’re coming from nowhere so I think people need to start paying attention to this Liverpool team and people teams need to start beating them and other teams need to get on runs because I think they’re spread eagle this and they could run away with League titles very soon I mean it really could be a defining week in fact for them what we’ll look ahead to that match next but let’s just focus a little bit on on Arna slot and give him the credit he’s done an incredible job just put into context how he’s seamlessly taken over and has he overachieved you know what what I like about him more than anything is he’s coming there wasn’t it wasn’t a broken machine you know it wasn’t much wrong and he’s coming and going you know what why would you try and fix something that isn’t broken and he’s just gone with it he’s gone with it really in my opinion he’s not changed anything usually manages comeing to clubs after a massive successful manager’s been there and they go you know what he can go he can go he can go I’ll bring my free players in that ain’t going to be better than the threee that they’re letting go but it just shows it’s my team you know and he hasn’t done that he hasn’t got a big ego he’s gone you know what not wrong with this I’ll tweak it a little bit you know I think Braven back’s been absolutely outstanding he’s been an absolute bonus for him but by that he’s just controlled it a little bit more but he hasn’t changed the team the team’s virtually the same as what it was when klopp was there so fair play to the manager you know a lot of managers would have come in and you know started changing it a bit so they so people can’t say oh this is klopp’s team and he he’s not done that he’s worried more about the team than himself and you know he needs a massive pat on the back for that as does K Keller another clean sheet for him and of course saving a killing mbappe penalty as well Allison still not returned from injury but could you argue that kellerer actually deserves maybe to keep his place regardless how’d you work this one out oh 100% he plays 100% Keeler plays at the moment K he’s been absolutely outstanding absolutely outstanding I think the one thing with him being successful so far and being really really good is you don’t have to rush Allison back and I think that’s another big Advantage for ipool you know if he wasn’t playing well Kayla you would go right we we need to get harison back quickly get him back and you rush him back and he gets injured again but that hasn’t been the case he canot he doesn’t have to rush back and if he does rush back he won’t get in the team at the moment I I’d be absolutely amazed if we played in front of him at the moment right what about Mo who would have fought that who would have fought that Haley one year ago you know one of the top top goalkeepers in the world Allison and this is how well he’s done that you know he would keep him out the team as we talked today yeah absolutely not absolutely not who’d have thought though most Salah in the situation that he’s in if we’d have uh predicted maybe not missing a penalty as well he’s got a bit of a stir this week with comments around his future uh more out than in he said I mean he was asked a question and he answered honestly didn’t he Jamie carer labeled it actually a bit selfish where do you stand on it do Liverpool need to be doing all they can to keep him you know what everyone I I thought find it really strange that a player of salah’s caliber and Van Dykes and Trent alexand contracts run out in six months time how that has ever been allowed to happen is just beyond a joke in my opinion in football terms it’s criminal in football terms it’s criminal how then freeze contract are G to be down to six months and could sign for anybody in January if they want that worries me salaan I think Liverpool right what they’re doing I think they got to make a stance I think you know he’s 32 he’s going to be 33 I think before the season finishes a two threee contract is you’re talking about 3 400 Grand to a 35 36 year old in two years time that’s a lot of money that’s a lot of money I you know if it was in the now you know no one preaches more than me about living in the now I’d give him 400 Grand I give him 400 Grand a week every week while he’s playing but I can’t give him that and then in two years time he’s not the player he is now and he ain’t going to be the player he is now you know I’m afraid that’s the way it works in football otherwise we’d all still be playing football you know the older you get you get to a certain stage you know he’s at his real at his prime he’s putting up numbers that are phenomenal and I’m one of his biggest fans but you can’t tell me he’s going to be putting them numbers up in two two years time and I know people and I hear people say to me yeah but Liverpool have to go and buy someone and pay him more than you know it’s going to cost them more to to buy someone and what they’re going to have to give seller but they will have to do it one day you know it’s no point kicking it down the road for the next three years because you’ll be in the same situation as what you are now where three of their top top players are all out of contract it is absolutely mindblowing I mean absolutely it’s Unthinkable it’s Unthinkable what’s happened at Liverpool right they’ve got City next a small matter of Manchester City I mean it feels weird reading it they are now without a win in six games I mean how much of a must- win is this for City I think it’s got down to a must not lose game at the moment I think the the position they’re in Haley I think it’s a must not lose game I think they got to start from somewhere again you know the way they’re playing they’re not playing like this you know they’re on a bad run a bad run that that result the other day would have hurt him 3-0 up cruising you’re thinking here we go confidence back start playing it around that would hurt you know to go to Liverpool it’s a must not lose game I think if it gets to 11 points 11 points alyen that means if Man City won their next 15 football matches and you can’t see him doing that at the moment you can’t especially if they lost to Liverpool as well if they went their next 15 games that’ be 27 games gone they still wouldn’t be above Liverpool Liverpool would have to lose four games in their next 15 that’s that’s a lot of games for a quality team like Liverpool you know the top teams don’t lose that many games usually so that’s how massive this game is this weekend you know man city would have to go on an extraordinary run to catch Liverpool if if Liverpool won this football match and and I would say that with no confidence as well because that would be six out of seven defeats I mean yeah be unthinkable [Music] [Music] [Applause]
