probably for the first time in recent history Liverpool take on Manchester City and there isn’t a single person on planet Earth apart from me that doesn’t think Liverpool are going to win uh Kim I just want your thoughts first of all what is happening at Manchester City I feel like I’ve got to start off by saying like I love this team right and I love guard all and I love what they’ve given us over the last few years because I don’t want to just come on here and cook him that would be ungrateful they’ve been amazing they’ve been fantastic but my words City you’re in free four we’ve got way way way too many players who are too old and just aren’t good enough now Kyle Walker the football left him two years ago gundan I don’t know who they’ve sent back Barcelona it does not resemble a gundan I’ve never seen a player be that poor at the moment Bernardo Silva’s out of out of sorts de bruyne’s been fit for four weeks but refuses to come on andart from for like 10 minutes I don’t know what’s going on there Rico Lewis is too young Jack Gish is out injured all the time Jon Stones is out injured all the time we’re just in freeall there’s nothing else you can say like I want to be sympathetic and I want to talk about the rodri injury and say how that’s affected him he’s the best player in the world of course it’s going to you want to talk about like the tired legs and the fact that they’ve been competing on all fronts for four years and the motivation that comes with that of course that’s really difficult but the mentality at City at the moment is just Dreadful I mean we discussed it last week they go a goal behind and they completely forget how to play football the Spurs game could have been what 3-0 up after 10 minutes they concede one and then you know as soon as we conceded one I just texted my mates it’s going to be a blood bath we’re beting fin 3-0 on 75 minutes and we concede a goal and then Edison just decides to give them the game I don’t actually understand what’s going on there’s something mentally strange going on at the club I think you mentioned taking um going behind also taking the lead you led against Brighton and you lost you led against sporting and lost LED against Bournemouth and lost so I think there is a a mentality TR which is really strange because this man City team in pretty much the last five or six years have become the team that we always go it’s inevitable that they’re going to win games against final final scored it was the first time probably as long as I can remember I was like they’re in this game and that normally doesn’t happen against City no it doesn’t um the thing is City don’t get credit over the last more than like five years ever since the money came in ever since start city started winning titles they have been mentality monsters they have been theci side that in the Premier League they are inevitable but this season I’ve just never seen anything like it it’s like you said they are in freeall and I don’t know how you correct the issue I thought I think when rri went down we all thought that Guardiola would find a new new way to kind of deal with it but you haven’t dealt with it when you saw Le Rico Lewis and gwan in Midfield against Spurs you’re like that’s that is going to be a blood bar we were texting each other saying like they’re getting overrun repeatedly it was just it wasn’t it’s abnormal and I get it some teams like struggle of form but this is this is terrible terrible for I’ve never seen a top team like this capitulate how they have and midweek in the Champions League con seeed them three goals in 15 minutes that just shouldn’t happen to any team let alone the best team over the last five or six years and so I don’t know how you correct the issue and now you’ve got Liverpool and the Horizon going to anfield and like you mentioned the B you are clear favorites in terms of Liverpool in ter to win this game I don’t think it’ll be as easy as everyone is saying but I just don’t see how City can get three points in this one I don’t see a root Victory and with Liverpool being how good they are and the how un form all their players are I think it it’s going to be a mismatch really I’m going to slightly counter that and just say against City against Spurs sorry we spoke about this they could have you could have led two or 3 no early Harlem miss a couple of good good chance then you’re looking at a completely different game against fard you capitulated but the type of goals you were ConEd were so bizarre they were so like circumstantial like maybe moments that probably don’t happen again and again and again things that that are avoidable and then in other games you’ve had lots of chances the problem for you has become you’re not uh scoring the chances and you’ve also conceded 15 in the last five Lo scored 13 in their last five um let’s discuss this potential route to win for City if there is one yeah there isn’t no no let’s not discuss this route no no there just isn’t like and I know you always say like I’ll backy team backy team this is the first time that I’ll predict a city loss and it’ll be a comfortable win for Liverpool there is no root for City to beat this Liverpool side the fact that we’re on terrible form is kind of by the by Liverpool are the best team in Europe at the moment playing exceptional every single player apart from potentially Robertson he’s made a few mistakes over the last last few weeks but like that Midfield is just going to get overrun there there’s almost no way with the injuries that we have that you can think of a possible Midfield that doesn’t get overrun by Liverpool I would suggest maybe playing stones in CDM but then he’s not really used to that position he’s very rarely played and you’re coming up against Curtis Jones and graach who have been probably two of the best players in the league this season and I think you look at the side and you think okay we talk about the Ry thing it’s massive right and gladiola has not found a way to replace that but the back four no matter who has been in there have been shocking for the last six games even like the best players last season one of the best left backs in the world we were all saying at the end of last season has just been given goals away for fun Kyle Walker should not be playing he should not be captain of the club he should not be playing he just shouldn’t be at the football club anymore he’s not good enough and he is routinely making mistakes aangi Stones when he’s fit makes mistakes Diaz before he got injured was making mistakes Edison Edison Edison is one that I would do actually have to speak about for a moment because I think City fans and my mates are starting to realize what I’ve been saying for a long time which is is that yeah okay what he provides with his feet is incredible and he has allowed us to win so many trophies because of that but I look down the list of teams in the Premier League and I’m talking shot stopping I think he might be genuinely the worst goalkeeper in the Premier League at shot stopping he never saves one-on ones he never saves penalties and you just don’t trust him and this is a guy who’s there with a makeshift back for a makeshift Midfield and a strike force that can’t score and we’re going to anfield is Kell better than him yeah shot stopping yeah I think Edison’s obviously overall a better goalkeeper because Kell would never ever play for City because of what Guardiola wants from a goalkeeper but at shot stopping yeah probably the problem you’ve got is you’ve got to a point where uh for many years one wonderful thing pep can do is he covers cracks so like one of Edison’s cracks is that think about the Champions League runs the Leon games where he’d be the one at fault and I don’t just want to dig him out but when those big moments happen him or Walker would do something a little bit daed and maybe uncharacteristic now that City are wide open now you’re seeing crack everywhere and we’ve spoken about Bernardo Silo has been well out for him we’ve said previously when moments come he’s been hiding and has been for a really long time um so now I think cityia sort of like going who’s going to drag us out this and unfortunately the the blame lands with Harland now but he’s there’s nothing he can really do we spoke about like they can’t get the ball to him and he’s spending 70 80 minutes with his hands on his uh hips um as for Liverpool like do they do they even have to really even sounds disrespectful but almost not over overthink this game just play how they have been just play how you play and you’ll win this game and I do think for Liverpool there there have been better Liverpool sides than this I think the Liverpool side that I think it was 18 19 season that got to 97 points that team would would smash this team if you think about man thing up firmino obiously Prime Mo Salo and the Midfield is very functional and you had Trent at his best and Robo at his best but football has a weird way of coming back round and this season I think his reparations for those great Liverpool teams in the past not winning titles I think it’ll be a crime for Mo Sal to ENT his football and career in the Premier League with just one premier league title same as van djk same as Allison same as all those players that contributed to this Liverpool side being one of the best teams in Europe despite the fact that the trophy cabinet doesn’t reflect that and so this year things have gone in Liverpool’s favor you have played Arsenal about odard you did play round without Venus you are going to play Man City um without rodri and sometimes you need that Stroke of Luck if you’re going to win the major trophies and I see you smiling there because you know what’s happening we can all feel what’s happening right and this is um akin to the season with Liverpool ran away of the league I know you’ve lost the game this year that year took a long time for you to lose a game but things are just going in the right direction you’re just churning out results even the Southampton game where it’s like oh they could actually drop points here you didn’t you got the win and I said it last week I said by the end of this week people will be saying Liverpool the best team in Europe because you will beat Real Madrid and you will beat Man City and credit to arish schot he has just come in and seamlessly just settled into into the Dugout and following young clock was going to be a hard task but it’s it’s it’s Paisley from shankley it’s it’s a man that said that before the foundations have been laid by klopp but maybe just maybe un slot’s going to be the man that delivers you more trophies than klopp did I mean I never at the start of the season I don’t think any of us predicted Liverpool to win the league did we I think I had Liverpool third proba had Liverpool second I think you probably had Liverpool fourth or fifth out the top four get him off this studio um I think looking at Liverpool I was at the Madrid game uh it just for me anyway and you’re going to say cuz I’m a li fan and naturally this is how it’s going to how it’s going to look for me but it’s just a bit too simple and this football club always does things with complex s they never do anything in a non-romantic ridiculous way and this feels there is no romance like we we beat Real Madrid almost without trying actually we were in second gear and we bullied them in all areas and then obviously scored two goals and missed a pen when we missed a pen and they missed a pen I thought they’re definitely going to get some ask you a question though no complexities it’s it’s going swimmingly on the pitch off the pitch most salah’s talking Jamie carer doesn’t like it Salah Tren van dijk out of contract to the end of the season season and it it’s unprecedented it’s the equivalent of of Arsenal having odard sacka and CRA in the last year last year of their deals and I think that might rear its ugly head towards the back end of the season if those deals don’t get done I think he actually benefited from the fact that Trent didn’t play in the game against Real Madrid it was interesting that he brought Gomez Off the Bench rather than Trent to play right back because I think that discourse around Trent going to Real Madrid would have been um Amplified if he had played that Real Madrid game but he didn’t and that noise has kind of quietened down a little bit I think slots managed situation quite well to be fair like he’s had a lot of stuff going on Salah obious I actually don’t hate the fact that Salah SPS the media in my I think like he’s a footballer he wants to earn as much money as possible and he’s been the best player in this division this season so he can demand whatever he wants so I think that’s completely fine the Trent situation is really complex I don’t know what’s going on and I think van dijke signs but I think in a in a roundabout way let’s say they’re all leaving at the end at the end of the year I actually think that could work in our favor at the same time um you know how we said last week when pep renewed his contract we said it’s for psychological reason didn’t work um but this way around like you got three two probably three your best players that have played at the football club ever in Van dijk Salah and Trent and all three could leave at the end of the year they all want to leave on a big in a big way well I think the interesting thing is you said before that like this Liverpool team of 189 would destroy this team at the moment I think this is actually like a better team I think that team obviously had better individuals you had van dijk in his Peak I mean salah’s probably in his Peak now been in his Peak pretty much forever but I think all the players a little bit better probably at their at their peaks but I think this is a better side and I think collectively I think it’s a better side and I feel like H slot is laying the foundations for a Liverpool without Salah without van dijk without Tren because everybody is playing better Curtis Jones where has that come from I didn’t see that coming from grenberg I didn’t see that coming either and I think like Aros slot has got everyone playing so well that if any of those three were to I think Salah probably will I think Trent probably will as you say but I think you’ll be fine because I think the style of football you’re playing now doesn’t rely on those individuals and if you win the League this year and get far in the Champions League you are Liverpool everyone will want to sign for you all right let’s get uh score predictions that’s not what you cing it’s going to be closer than people expect but I do expect Liverpool to get the win I’m going 2-1 Liverpool exactly what I was thinking 7 nil Liverpool no seriously I think City could score but I think we’ll get done by like four or five six seriously I don’t see that happening I like football’s a weird weird sport like there’s certain things just don’t happen forever City are going through this and I thought like it will end against fin it didn’t but it was close to so I think I don’t think it ends against Liverpool but I think it ends after that so I don’t think this is one of those where it’s going to be like 5 six and it’s Liverpool City man I’m going to go 21 as well [Music]
