huge result Mo it just felt like from minute one today you just smelt blood yeah it’s crazy that the fans were behind us from the first minutes um and I’m glad we managed to win the game was We Know city is going to come try to win the game here uh but we managed to play a good game and win the game Virgil years and years of going up against this Relentless machine and to be fair sometimes getting the better of them but today did you sense there was a vulnerability there um after the game is always easy to to say these things I think city is a fantastic team um four times champions in a row and uh they have quality to punish any team I think we were very solid defensively offensively we did our part as well we created good chances and uh could have scored more um so overall it’s been a it’s been a great day um and now we recover and be ready for another game on Wednesday yeah I was watching you actually when you went for the coins and they turned you around so you were shooting it into the cup first half you look really annoyed about that actually did it end up working for you I was annoyed by the fact that he started the toss without me even ackn I was obviously busy with my mascot Isaac and obviously took a little bit of time but he started the coins already quite quickly so I was I was a little bit annoyed by that because um I think just just wait and but anyway good game we won and we move on M took us through that first goal hell of a ball for for Cody yeah I’m a good player so no I think if we train well to be in U always if you have the ball the other side has to be in a second ball uh second post so I I told qu before the game every time I have the ball and if if the chance for me to play the ball to you I will play it for sure so I give him a few balls this season him and Lucho as well um so we train we train that ball in training we managed to do 10 games great how how special are days like this how special is Anvil when it’s like this it’s very special I said before I don’t take it for granted I’m enjoying every minute here it’s it’s feels like home so yeah it’s a special feeling always scoring unfield and win games yeah even more so at the moment you’ve been fairly vocal about your own s of future and situation do you make do you enjoy it more because maybe it’s you know there’s not maybe another city home game left of course of course honestly that was in my head like this is my probably until now the last City game I play for Liverpool so I’m just going to enjoy it the atmosphere was incredible so I’m enjoy every second here and yeah hopefully we we just win the league and see what what happen don’t worry I’m not going to ask you but what I will ask you 11 points to city nine points to Second how significant is that listen we focus on the next one that’s the only thing we can we can do and that’s you don’t talk about it at all no I don’t of course not there’s no point in in this stage of the Season toh get ahead of ourselves obviously everyone wants to be in a position where they where they in this case 11 points in front of the opponent today but so many twists and turns now we have so injuries as well to our team unfortunately and we have to deal with that as well and and and you know it’s it’s um game by game and um stay calm but games like this and when you win it like this it’s always a good feeling and uh now we back to recovery and be ready for a very tough one way okay so there was a big debate about player of the match between between yourself okay and the man next to you okay we give it to him yeah well okay it I had a view so can give it so who pick who picked him okay well done congratulations thank I’m surprised that the car didn’t give it to you but oh he wouldn’t never he wouldn’t give it to me we’re on pundit watch here pit being analyzed by listen to any of that well done well moala laying down the gaunlet Jamie I see him in the carpack St next to Roy twins waiting I don’t know what they’re talking about Roy that’s unfair we we will we will come to the contract there’s an awful lot for us to to talk about here this evening but let’s start with the significance of this what do you think huge huge see the reaction of the players and obviously they’ve got to play it down a little bit but huge huge result great performance City obviously look way off it I know there’s lots of stats we look after again but we’re watching it live here and Liverpool was so well ahead of them defensively Rock Solid energy Pace power they should have scored a lot more goals that a real desire and to keep it clean sheet at the end outstanding Liverpool performance I thought they mixed their game up really well particularly the first half when to play went to go along uh they turned up basically particularly they’re big players we saw two of them there I thought the two players Road standing given the the the level of the the quality of the opposition Daniel the history of this fixture as well and what was at stake how close were Liverpool to almost Perfection with that performance very close I mean they controlled the game for for the most part really in terms of you know not conceding too many chances um the first half you know City didn’t really do much to be honest and then of course daku comes on do a little bit but besides that Liverpool had full control of the game they were threatening runs in behind tenacious attitude they looked like they wanted it and there was that feeling in the stands when you hear the fans roaring and when City you know had moments Liverpool’s fans were like let’s you know get right behind the boys again the players and how the manager set them up today as well I think was magnificent he he had the midfielders pressing all over the pitch they they set the intensity for the team um all around fantastic performance from the players and it was really professional performance as well because you can let it get out of hand and they didn’t they didn’t let that happen I think you expected a reaction from City didn’t you I don’t remember seeing Pep Guardiola reacting quite like that before as he did to to Liverpool fans thinking about him being sacked in the morning no obviously he’s going to be annoyed we we’ve talked about pep uh since he come to the club obviously his first season was difficult you know um was nowhere near winning the league and then he started building that momentum and what city have done over the last couple of years has been has been staggering um I we we did uh the game last week at Spurs and he asked me is it a crisis I said No it’s it’s not a crisis because you know you going into the Champions League game and you think okay you know three up and then it’s free and now you come to Liverpool and it’s not just the fact that Liverpool anyone can come to Liverpool at anfield Great Stadium fans were exciting and it was like a fortress at times but it’s the way they got beat is for me I I’ve not seen for a while with this city team you can talk about the defense you can talk about Midfield you can talk about attack it’s the collective if you look at the difference between Liverpool and Man City they was all together at times man city that was just disjointed didn’t sort of know what they was going to do that s put Rico on the right obviously we’ve seen him in Midfield and he’s a right back by trade you got uh mat Nunes on the left as well so they got into these good opportunities but they couldn’t do anything with it it just feels like everything is a yard off so does it seal in your mind you you talking before the game about if they lose potentially possibly maybe um that means they are out the title race no I I I think if you’re looking at the stats and if you’re looking at the game you know and analyzing the game it’s Bleak at at this time too I’m not going to rule them out completely because football is like that but I I can’t see him catching Liverpool at this I think it is a almost a mini crisis for Manchester City and I think it’s reminiscent of Liverpool 2 years ago and I actually think Man City might have a fight on their hands for top four I actually look at Arsenal and Chelsea and the way they’re looking right now I think it’ be difficult for Man City to finish above them if they don’t go into the market in January and I go back a couple of years the season Man City won the treble Liverpool went to the atad I think in about April and got B 41 and it could have been six or seven got absolutely battered and you you felt like it was almost the end of that jagen club team but what it was it was the end of the Midfield this was Henderson and fabinho at the time and no matter how good a manager you are you can’t fix that I don’t think pep can fix that in terms of Midfield now this has been going on for four or five games he needs to buy players in there now if he can do it in January who knows but may need to wait the end of the season to fix this because right now I could see Man City maybe losing another four or five games between the end of the season and I look at the energy Arsenal have gotten the energy sour of the young players Chelsea got I think it might be difficult for City to finish above there the Midfield look weak today yeah Midfield is a huge problem the only thing I I would say to that Cara is um the kovage missing kovage as well and we know but he can’t run either no but in terms of the way man city set up when they played in the games that they normally dominate possession it’s on transition which we’ve talked about mancia it’s like when when you’re playing the top teams now so I still think that’re they’re getting to the top four because they dominate the ball so much they’re not often in these positions where you can get exposed you know but I I think they do need a defensive midfielder personally a defensive minded midfielder when you look at who they have now you’ve got n you’ve got kovic you’ve got gundan the list goes on the majority of those players are attacking minded or control players they’re not ones that happens if they don’t get one of those in the context they lost three games last season they’ve lost four on the bounds I don’t believe believe that they certainly won’t be in the title race if they don’t um in my opinion if they don’t sign a defensive midfielder because you’re conceding chances against teams that wouldn’t typically get chances against what about Jamie’s point they could slip out of the Champions League I think that’s a step too far personally I think they’ll I think they’ll be in the Champions League because I think the best players they have will perform they they’re in a they’re in a rup right now they’re not harland’s not Taking Chances players aren’t you know performing to their level but they’ll come a point when it will turn and Harland will be flying in maybe bang off 10 goals in a row and then we like oh they’re back again so you can’t rule them out completely and say no Champions League I think they getting the champions league but challenge him for a title I think they need a defensive midfielder to do that I just I go back to the Liverpool situ Liverpool finished fifth That season now we know these two teams have been battling for the title for so long but when there’s a lack of energy in there and everyone thinks you’re vulnerable I mean Manchester City finished at one stage in the second half they have Bernardo Silva and Rico Lewis is Central Midfield I mean I mean Bernardo Silva absolutely love I mean what a player he’s not a central Midfield player Rico Lewis is you know a decent player but I mean that that’s nowhere near enough when you when we’re talking about I’m saying could they finish above I don’t think they finish above Arsenal or Chelsea look at what they’ve got in Center Midfield look at the three Midfield players Chelsea played today look what Arsenal have got Midfield the energy the power they can’t compete with that City meanwhile are Liverpool looking an irresistible Force right now absolutely fantastic yeah and they’ve what they’ve only had um but you know we we have to playay as the managers on amazing job but there were a decent group he took over whatever he’s added to it obviously his personality and nobody thought though wrot G this R absolutely not of course not but that’s that’s that’s the game we we all love and watch and you’re watching teams and it can be unpredictable and if you said it this after the season Liverpool would be where they are now you wouldn’t believe them you think they need locking up but their performances the defensively they’re very good again they big players are turning up for the big occasions I know we’ve there’s been a standing joke they’ve not really been tested yet but when theyve been even last week I was at the samp game they were awful but they scored three goals and they won the game today they’re on the back of a big uh result in Europe they on up today and when the game started we’re talking about the physical side of Liverpool against Man City we’re looking we’re thinking no way were Liverpool losing today absolutely not and it wasn’t just their effort they showed great quality and their decision making in terms of possession was excellent so did the first goal come down to decision making did it come down to individual quality in that moment rather than any kind of team shape well getting decision making and quality you when you see Trent on the BN has got time as a defense you’ve got to back off and again we talk about I’ve said before defensively in moments they don’t have that intensity Man City even still very very good player from Liverpool but where’s the in intensity from City this is a war class ball from Trent but we’ve seen Trent do this many a time we see Salah with the p um the space and when he’s running at you one V one you’re in trouble now a lot more happens after this it’s a brilliant ball in we look at people like Walker walk just switching off it’s a brilliant ball and we see people like de bruy are just off it Sila just off it and these players who’ve been juing for years and years and when they’re all off it it’s like the perfect storm at the moment for the opposition teams CID just off it brilliant ball brilliant goal One Touch finish we talk about Salah turning up he’s got a goal and assist how many players are this relaxed and have this much time in in these positions well that one makes a more class it’s end product he produces Michel what about the the city efforts defensively in that yeah I talked about Kyle Walker and I’m not picking on him he’s Captain but Captain supposed to be the leader on the pitch but just look at his position here with GPO I mentioned about not getting back in as soon as possible he’s jogging in he doesn’t where gapo is by the time he looks he’s already behind him you have to get back in early and face the ball this is what’s costing Man City yes they didn’t have a a great day day today but it’s individual mistakes that keep costing them if you have men back and you get Midfield and just a little bit of protection you can get that away but the fact that he’s just all he’s just ball watching constantly and I’ve sung his praising for for so long now we can’t walk up but we need him now to be the the leader on the pitch get people back in position early between those two yeah I look I’m I’m I’m not here to pick on play it’s it’s a system if you playing in that of course he’s played right back at times where he’s had to provide the width when you got Rico Lewis going inside you have to be high and wide but he’s still a right back at the end of the day get back I used to do it all the time it’s it’s one of those where you constantly think that your pace is going to get you out of out of trouble and when you get older and you start losing a little bit of pace then you constantly I just think that the ball was amazing and as the attacker I’ve been a gapo in that moment when you gamble because you think my mate has it in him to play that pass or a deflection happens on whatever that’s your job as the opposite Winger to make that run from the fullbacks perspective I don’t know what goes through a fullbacks mind and thinking I’ve got to make that run and play other people on side I don’t know I defensively I think defensively you’re hoping it doesn’t go in where the attacking players believe he going to go into that position absolutely you’re talking maybe a separate issue when you’re talking about his Pace that’s been a problem for Kyle Walker since we first seeing him but he was that quick not in situations like that because he got caught out in the summer I think maybe three goals against England in the summer uh where he gets done at the back po cuz he’s he can switch off that’s always been the negative about him you know he has a little look and he just doesn’t look again and gako is brilliant at scoring at the back post but you see he has a little look over his right shoulder there and then he doesn’t look again I mean he just switches off there for a second before you know it’s in the back of your net but that that has been a problem throughout Kyle Walker’s cre and that’s never going to if if if an attacker can see a you know Defender number he’s in trouble he’s he’s not aware what’s around him and Walker for all his experience he’s either unaware what’s around him or he takes the gamble that’s not going to go but the problem he’s got now as a player is that that’s always been a weakness that’s nothing to do with his age but his athleticism would be that good in the game that if you let in a goal like that maybe every five or six games you go I put up with that because he saves us on the counter attack or he’s bombing forward getting crosses in you’re not getting that side of it now so becomes a bit of a liability for Man City at 1- nil Liverpool were were still having chances into the second half the game it felt like was very much in the balance at that point city were growing into it maybe a little bit in terms of possession then they made the change brought on Darwin nun six and a half minutes later he had this impact was that crucial Daniel very much so he was working his sucks off and he causes all sorts of problems and then you see the proactive Diaz who’s you know working off of the pressing they’re all going in numbers and WS maybe thinks he’s got a bit more time than he does Diaz shows the pace and obviously the keeper takes him out I mean he had to go for it in the end but look the pace of these players and the the anticipation of saying you know what the Keeper’s coming at I’m just going to Nick it round him and and with myself a penalty and what about the nerve of a man who missed of course on Wednesday I mean in these moments probably when you miss a penalty you want one as quick as possible to get it right did did you no I didn’t be because I wasn’t on penned but I know players who have have obviously you know played missed the penalty and it’s like can’t wait for for the next game to put it right if you miss a chance as a striker I’ve missed one can’t wait for the next game to put it right so I think in these moments you’re like I’ve prepared for this I need to now put shut people up now there’s not a question of can he take penalties is he a big is he this or that it’s like no I’ve done it already now let’s move on do you think that tells us a little bit about mosella if indeed we didn’t know know it all already yeah it was not it was going to was obviously going to take it and uh yeah I think the top players do move on quickly when they’ve had a little disappointment or setb that makes them great players they’re not afraid to lose they’ve got bottle to step up again and Salah certainly has that and even over the last few weeks and even with the interview after he’s he’s a bit chirpy with his contract stuff and he’s he’s he’s shown another side to his personality and he done that the last year or two when he was taken up in a few big games of Liverpool with klopp and he was you know spitting his dummy out so he’s showing that other side to him that he obviously cares about the game but ultimately he’s a worldclass player he’s in a great position with Liverpool with his contract situation and he’s producing and and what I would give him credit for when when this contract situation going on with a player and it’s out in it’s out in the open now obviously and people are talking about him criticizing him and saying he’s this or he’s selfish whatever it might be but he’s turning up I think that’s what the the real top players will put that to the side and go I’m still going to produce in the big games and that’s why I take my hat off to him Daniel he’s had some criticism mosalah he’s he’s been called Selfish for raising the situation around his contract and and seeking out reporters when he he might not normally do that seeking them out which which is which is what he did last week of course down at Southampton what should Liverpool do it’s the Jerry McGuire moment you’ve got show me the money it’s it’s stay it with me Jamie you know for real like I think these types of these it’s as simple as it gets these types of players he scored what now is that 234 goals for the club this season top scorer assist top of that where do you replace those numbers it’s either as collectively as a team team or you’re not going to find individual player that over the course it’s very very difficult these are rare finds in football so is he slowing down are the stats slowing down is his is his intensity is his mindset let me show you one graphic Daniel yes absolutely his output is extraordinary right now in in terms of those attacking stats uh you see the goals are increased the goal involvements his shots on Target and his dribble success all up under this manager but is there something to say that that maybe the physical stats were much better under under Yen club and he is slowing down or is it just adapting his game because of his years maybe it’s the managers asking him to press less maybe it’s you know less defensive work and more attacking work I’m saying a player of Muhammad salah’s qualities deserves to be paid whether it’s a two to threee contract if it’s two years and he’s asking for big door you’ve got to pay it I mean it to be with always you’ve got a different opinion to that though haven’t you car in terms of that I was we’ve talked about it all all this week I I would pay him not what he wants but you can’t let him go for free he he’s 33 no he will be at the end of his when a contract’s ready if give me two years till 35 years yeah but the difference is now historically we were saying it’s too much because players are slowing down physically but he’s in great shape not a problem listen I think it’s it’s probably being lost I’ve got no problem with M salad and V van D they are two of the greatest players to ever play for Liverpool if Liverpool has a club and we know the Run by data so you can’t actually say oh we delighted Michael Edwards is back in all the data people are back because that fell away at the end of clubs time and they’re back and we got this Money Ball situation and we delighted that’s back but then on the other hand say give some what he wants that’s you can’t say giv you never get what you want do you you never get you want being is these two V van djk and moal if Liverpool do have a let’s say there’s a rule like of anyone over 30 only get a certain length of contract you have to move the D for players like that I’m not saying he shouldn’t get a two-year deal I’m not saying he should be on Big Money he’s on big money now and rightly so he’s one of the best players in the world but this idea and this saying that keeps giving what he wants this club is not built on giving people what they want that’s where the success of the club has come through being a head of the game buying moal for 40 million when nobody else Prem when nobody else in the Premier League even looked at him because Liverpool were ahead of the game in terms of the data so I’m just saying Liverpool keep doing what you’re doing don’t be giving someone a three or four year deal if you normally give someone an extra year no you move the D for the M Sal or a v band there’s no problem there has been you know suggestions that part of this reason that City are struggling right now is because they’re an aging side some people say they’re a side in decline because of that if you’re giving Mo Sal another two potentially three years Virgil Van djk another two three years might they be in that situation quite soon I personally don’t see Moeller and Virg van djk slowing down at this particular stage maybe in a couple of years maybe I don’t know I’m I’m saying right now at this moment in time they deserve they obviously should be at the football club next season it’s not a question of whether they should be at the club or not it’s a case of how long is the contract and will they accept that length of contract for the finances there’s going to be numbers out there for them players including Trent that is GNA be bigger than Liverpool let’s keep it real it’s going to be more than Liverpool are gonna offer what are they going to get on the outside it’s the truth but for them do they have it in their stomach to say I want to win Champions Leagues I want to win Premier Leagues I want to do it at this football club if that’s the case they’ll sign but the big plus for the big plus for Salah on top of all is the negotiation amazing player he’s always available he’s always fit so you try and replace if they’ve got somebody else in the building that will get you over 20 goals a season and it plays every game then that’s fine you might say we’ve got a couple young Lads comeing through you move on but to try and replace Salah who who guarantees your these performances in the big big occasions to try and replace that you’ve mentioned earlier you’d have to go and spend fortunes obviously and the people coming in on that huge money will want the big contract and there’s no guarantee they will produce for Liverpool you already have a player in the building and again we’re not talking about no when this idea I agree with give them what they want nobody gets that does that’s why it’s called negotiation you obviously go in high they come in and you try and meet in the middle somewhere but how Liverpool if they can take the chance of letting them walk out the building on a free and we’re talking about the modern players these are Fitness freaks these are I think last season was the first time he dropped below 80% of Premier League minutes in in his Liverpool career do you have any issue just finally on this Daniel any issue with the way that he’s he’s sort of as I say seeking out reporters last week he’s he’s mentioned it a few times um already this season if it does potentially put but the club in a difficult Place have you just got to do as a player in that situation everything you can to win that contract I think I think each player goes about in a different way some guys like Trent and Virgil haven’t really spoke about it Mo’s a different player and a different personality so each person’s going to approach it in a different way he’s gone about it the way he feels is going to get him the result he wants do I agree with it no I I don’t agree with it but I think you agree with me no I don’t agree with you what I’m I don’t agree with him I don’t agree with him but what I’m saying is my personality personality I’m saying he’s going he’s speaking more with the now so do you agree with that you think that’s right to you what I’m saying to you is players who have individual mindsets go about things in their own way the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo gets was questioned at times and Ronaldo would have do interviews or go about things in certain ways you know there’s individuals out there whom when they’re at the top and they’re one of the greatest and they start getting questioned or things don’t start to go their way they approach things in a way that says do you know who I am do you know who you’re messing with right now like I’m Mo Salah I’ve done all these things just like an interview it goes well yeah great players see those passes like he’s a sure he’s sure of himself he doesn’t doubt himself one bit so if you don’t want to pay me that’s okay I’ll go to one of the other best teams in the world or I’ll go to to wherever wherever he sees and he’ll say you don’t respect me enough I think it’s about respect and him saying pay me what I deserve because if you don’t I’ll find somewhere else that will do it I agree with that Mo Salah sees himself at that type of player and rightly so but for me Vel van djk is one of those type of players and all I’m asking for is for Mo Salah not to come out after every game where he scores a goal and talk about his own situation V van DJ in exactly the same situation and handling it brilliantly just saying there’s nothing to report at the moment move on it’s about the club more the club is always more important than the individual especially with Liverpool top of the Premier League and top of the champions league saladan is talking on the pitch today that’s what he done is talking take more note of that than the odd quot or the odd little tantrum well I know maybe with the exception of some Mis chances was that pretty close to perfect yeah and if you look at work rate I think it was perfect um yeah the amount of chances we missed that made it that it was tight till the end um but yeah maybe that’s also the nice part of a game like this it should be like this but uh in an Ideal World we would have scored earlier the second one yes was the plan to go at them right from the start to kind of go for the throat or does anfield with its atmosphere just almost demand that of you in a game like this I think if you watch every game of us which you probably have done then you know that we always want to press high but the thing is they can build they can do build up very well they can play the ball out from the back very very well so then you have to put a lot of effort in or you have to take the risk of playing One V one but we put a lot of effort in we forc them to a few mistakes which led to some chances that gives en US Energy that gives the crowd energy and uh that helps of course because um apart from our players the crowd was fantastic today as well you said before the game you mentioned City basically playing without Wingers and not being sure how they were going to line up what did you make of about how they went about it first half yeah they they always make it difficult for you in the way they position and uh but in general it’s it’s it’s it’s mostly the same formation but players can go to different positions um and yeah it’s not only formation it’s nine of 10 times the quality of the players that makes it make it difficult for you and that’s also what they had on the pitch today but yeah the good thing for us is we have some quality players on the pitch well I suppose at the beginning of the season because of a new manager there was a little bit of uncertainty about how this would go for Liverpool has this week beaten Real Madrid beating Man City underlined what kind of season this is going to be maybe you won’t win things but you will be competing for the very biggest prizes no we’re comptible team and it’s very difficult to beat us uh but therefore we need to put the effort in like we put in every single game and uh yeah you also saw today the injuries we have at the back we had to take care of Trent um maybe you could have played 90 but yeah it’s a risk with all these game coming up so we had to take him off off 70 and Joe did really well today to replace IBU and Joel came in in a for him unfamiliar position so that is the challenges we face at the moment but every team faces faces the these challenges during the season and it’s up to us to get the best out of it and that’s what we did today but again a big week coming up with Newcastle and AV I mentioned the Ferocious start but I actually wonder if the biggest difference you’ve made with Liverpool like we’ve seen lots of fast starts under young Club but but the second half the way you managed it barely gave any chances away hit them on the break do you think that maybe that flexibility is what that little you talked at the start of season just adding a few little nuances to to the base you inherited IDE I would have loved to see the second half being the same as the first half but but yeah the quality of the other team is is is also that much that there are faces in the game or uh that that they have the ball and then it’s up to us to defend really strong in and around their 18 yard box and I think that’s also what we did if you want to win against City like I think I said before the game you have to be perfect in every part of the game High Press low press buildup in every part because yeah they they bring so many problems to you so um and and I think that’s we came close to Perfection we weren’t perfect we came close to Perfection and that’s the only when you can beat the quality team like City and lastly I think today was your 20th game in charge all competitions can you believe how well it’s gone no I can’t believe because it’s happening at the moment but uh I I don’t think anyone including me would have predicted this uh I knew that that jugan left the team in a very good place but yeah still to win so much with all the difficult uh teams we faced already is is is something you can’t predict before the season but like I said we’re not the only one I saw Arsenal yesterday I saw Chelsea today and I saw City playing they will they will come back because these team have so much quality they can have the same run as us so we have to stay sharp and focused for the upcoming weeks well done you’re welcome thank you yes 20 games as Liverpool manager and Anna slot has won 18 of them we’ve talked about some of his players and how impressive they are but how impressive you been with with him with ANL he’s cool is he he’s a cool guy in the players are um I think there was obviously what helped him I suppose after season there was no pressure on Liverpool really when they came in obviously didn’t really spend in the the transfer market so everyone was maybe seeing how this kind of goes and uh he said himself he probably nobody would have thought they would have been so far ahead their performances defensively outstanding there’s what they had today with offens quality an energy about him I think the team reflect the managers well there’s certainly a calmness to their play which is key I think in terms of we we praise klopp klopp’s been amazing again that kind of high energy football but they have that and they do it at the right times and there’s also a time where they’re cool and Cal and looking after the ball and getting their recovery and so um any team that can finish ahead of Liverpool this season the league will be doing very very well do you think Daniel because they haven’t signed players which is unusual when a new manager comes in there are still questions as to how much of this is about juren klopp and how much is about a different approach from Anna I think Anna has rejuvenated the squad a little bit because I think it’s new messaging it’s a new approach from from and I think the players have bought into it a lot obviously the Dutch connection with with uh Virgil as why he would have transmitted that within the dressing room made it very clear to the team how the manager would want them to go about their business and I agree with Roy the calmness of it I think it’s a diff completely flip side approach from how the managers are I think Jurgen LED with his heart whereas seems to almost more of a mental uh thing um but it’s it’s it’s interesting because you wouldn’t have anticipated it would happen so fast that they would compete the way they are so it’s really impressive I I just think watching Slaughter I think as a Defender you probably backed me up on this when I used to watch Liverpool on the clock there was outstanding but they did give you a chance and that high line now if you look at him now justful being it was I mean when you’re constantly running that way is difficult now they look a little bit more composed if if you watch Trent this season his defending has been miles better okay when dku came on on the one-onone he won’t getting tight enough but the structure of the team and the balance just seems a little bit better and they can adapt to different situations where previously they always played well they call it heavy metal football but it just felt like there was always an opportunity you could get in behind the thing I would say with you Club type of football you’d probably argue it was more exciting but it had to be perfect to be good defensively I think there was only a couple of Seasons where Liverpool had a really good defensive numbers I think the season he went really close with City and the season after they win the league and besides that didn’t have a poor defensive record but it certainly wasn’t what we’ve seen now so he’s made them better defensively more controlled but also what he’s done to certain individuals within the team Liverpool have been looking for a holding Midfield play for S of the last two or three seasons Jen Club couldn’t get one y Klo didn’t think gra B was that play he was playing him his own and attacking Midfield play he’s put him there right now he looks good as anyone in the Premier League in that position and also we see leis Diaz as a center forward Jen Club put gakpo as a center forward for a lot of time he’s put gakpo on the left Diaz is now playing in that Central position at time so you can see the little tweaks he’s made to actually the individuals who are already part of the squad this uh lead is now nine points and historically teams go on to win the title from this kind of position every time in fact the teams had more than six points or more lead at this stage they have in premier league history gone on to win the title and they’ve done it by almost 12 points on average so what are the dangers from here the dangers are don’t not worry about much any other teams but in terms of Liverpool themselves well just look at the injuries right now I think if they got another one or two injuries certainly defensively they’d have a problem a real problem they might end up having to put maybe a Midfield player a fullback or something like that uh so that could be a problem and also domestic Cup competitions H last season and a couple of years before that Liverpool at this stage of the Season were talking about four trophies and one season the end up winning the two domestic cups but lost the Champions League final lost the Premier League uh on the final day to City last season I was talking you know Europa League they won the carabal cup and the FA Cup game at Manchester United just absolutely almost finished the season in some ways now you cannot delity lose games or try and get you know not do as well as you can you Liverpool you have to compete in every competition but if I was given the manager any advice I would not be playing any face team plays in do domestic Cup competitions because the reason no one’s ever won four trophies in a season before because it’s almost impossible that could be a problem for them if they could just concentrate on the league and the Champions League I think they’re going to take some stopp him only 75 points still to play for um is anyone prepared to put the bunting up yet for Liverpool declar them Champions no after 13 games I think this uh elaborating on on car’s question I think if they was to lose Salah or van dijk we talk prematch it’s it’s diff it’s different we talked about the big players turning up I mentioned older gard and sacka for Arsenal obviously rodri and Kevin De bruyne for for Man City Salah watching Salah is just incredible not because I played with him many moons ago but he cannot he doesn’t have to even play well but he still makes a difference in the key areas Daniel talked about his pass and then he’s finish he misses his penalties and nothing asking about Liverpool winning the title that’s different but that’s what I mean I think if you lose van dijk and Salah things come Daniel become a lot fit then it’s very difficult for everyone else um I don’t know I I feel like Liverpool are are looking you know very good right now I think it’s um I agree with the guys I think it’s injuries I think it’s um mentally staying in it and and not letting opportunities slip by when you’re playing against certain opposition um you know there’s how you obviously win leagues is by beating the teams you’re supposed to beat um and we’ve seen a lot of those teams actually are performing quite well quite well so it’s about continuing to to put teams away when you have like opportunities in the first half today when you’re missing five or six chances you can’t do that regularly and expect to win I think when sorry I think whenever there’s a week of three Premier League games in a week A lot can change now no disrespect to Man City they’ve been amazing for the last five or six years but when I looked at this week I looked at Newcastle away Wednesday night and then play Everton away 1230 that’s a quick Turner and that’s if Liverpool could come through that with four to six points they are in a great position because if I’m an Arsenal player or or the manager looking at the game next two games Liverpool have had they’re not easy you don’t get any League medal in December this team will take some stopping there we go sounds like Jamie’s almost got the bunting out though well pep it probably wasn’t realistic to think you would come here and everything would be perfect and confidence would be at the top level but what do you make of what you have seen well the first 15 20 minutes they were stoppable the strength were strong we Tred to with the conditions that we have play with a lot of control a lot of passes was difficult to take it and after we we talk the game of course they will deserve the first the first goal and uh but we finished really good the first half and the second with not too much threat so I know how strong they are in the boxes Liverpool in both sides and uh don’t do mistakes and and after and after you know uh uh up fr the transitions always had in the but since I fa I met Liverpool so and yeah congratulate him and restart from here has started to make a reset from Zito and and and yeah it’s difficult to believe it but I Rely a lot with this players I know how they are doing in that position and and yeah and by the end of the the season we’ll see what happen yeah you said that you picked a team to try and play lots of short passes to try and control it how difficult is that to do here and could your team have done it any better yeah always always you can do it but there are players that make an effort playing not his position and because we don’t have an Alternatives and and only I can say thank you to them because I know the commitment that they do with without the ball I know that but I don’t know maybe it’s something inside of me that I had the feeling that uh that uh that uh we will build from here you know restart and try to to make a some good run and try to you know to to win games what will it take then to to reset I think to build from here what will it need no there’s a moment that you know there are moments that maybe we have to make a click and we’ll do a click and and everything so today Kevin make a good minutes because we need that pace and didn’t have when I see the last games and Jack play good in that in that in that position as well and and Jeremy got a good minutes after one month out so uh yeah so Bernardo Rico and you know a lot of mines in his legs and Nathan was exceptional against maybe one of the most toughest Wingers ever you know and with Salah so I take I take some things so congratulate uh I would say Liverpool they deserve the Victory and and accepted the situation right now and and build F that how how tough or how significant is not just the injuries but the players that are out there maybe maybe having to come back into the team early maybe there’s guys out there who aren’t 100% fit themselves yeah that’s what it is the Precision was as well Precision we didn’t have Precision started going with the shield and the players come back a bit late and after injures and I know but we have to survive with that so I think we compete we didn’t create that much chances but in certain moments we were there in terms of what we wanted for the for the pace that we have right now in the middle especially so in terms of duels they are stronger and and and you have to survive with the ball if the the game is you know transitions we don’t have gundo and on Bernardo I don’t know to make a transition the 30 40 met that they have with Grandma was was AE on on mallister and the pace up front so and you had to do it and but I cannot forget which players I have so I cannot forget and I’m here sitting being a manager defending what we done in the past thanks to them and and more than ever want to be with them and help them and of course we have to change results but in the right time we will take the decision yeah you talk about defending what you’ve done in the past we saw you hold six fingers up to the crowd during the game again at the end the stum want to sack me oh my God I start with Brighton uh maybe they’re right maybe I must be sacked for the results that uh that we have but I didn’t expect an UNF feel that so no you know with Z with 01 I one Z for them didn’t do it with Cho and maybe we should do it in the past you know sing the song in the past not now now it’s take Advantage I didn’t expect for the people from from Liverpool but it’s fine it’s part of the game I understand completely and accept it and we had an incredible incredible battles together they win we won and and um I have a a respect and and that’s it is this going to be not just a day but a year where they win at 11 points behind them now are we going to have new Premier League champions this season do you think well I said before that game that we are not in the position in the results we are getting to think about in the big big targets but the season is long and we have to try to to make to make a result and after we come back some players will come back and after everything will be better and will be late maybe I don’t know but there are many things to to fight and and yeah we’re going to try thank you you’re very welcome [Applause] well he took it in Good Humor he hasn’t heard it too often before and you don’t when you you’re winning title after title it looked like he was shocked to hear it uh yeah I think because he mentioned he said it was an an feeling we obvious say Liverpool fans would be obviously respectful but they’re obviously just poking a bit of fun at him they’re probably still hoping he will be sacked because they know how brilliant he is but he’s talking a good humor obviously and he talking the right spirits but you can see he’s he’s flat after the match he’s mentioned about building stuff up again with the team but pep and his staff have got big problems to solve we always say Daniel never write off Manchester City never write them off but can we now I I’m I’m not going to right now I’m I’m really not I know that there a lot of things have to happen but to say you’re going to write them off completely I just think it’s premature I think they they that team cannot win the league they okay that team I don’t think so I I don’t think they can but you can’t write them off what what evidence do you see of of this turning round the city I think they’ve they’ve got players for me right now you know Jon Stones has played defensive midfield for them and they’ve been successful with him in that position whether they buy somebody in January harand can get going and can start rattling off goals left and right Kevin De bruyne can come back and all of the sudden you know he starts getting in the rhythm of playing I think there’s players within the squad that have that are are worldclass football players and they can get a rhythm gain their confidence again the manager can find a system and players that he believes in an 11 that he’s not changing and that can be the difference something’s going on with Kevin De bruy Kevin De bruyne has been the best player for me in the Premier League The Last Five Seasons I mean the fact he’s not starting games he doesn’t come on a halftime I’m not trying to create more trouble for Manchester city in in terms of you know talking about a story but something is not right there between those two and and it’s maybe sad because we’re talking about one of the greatest managers we’ve ever seen one of the greatest players we’ ever seen in the Premier League and I think his contract finishes at the end of the season had a few injury problems but something is not right when as soon as he’s fit he doesn’t go straight back in it’s or doesn’t come on at halftime something is he miss a great he does look a little bit off I know he’s trying to get back up the speed he had a great chance to score and you think it could be a mad last 15 minutes there but yeah you’re always surprised when de Bru’s not on the pitch Kevin De bruy is struggling Phil foden play of the year last season 19 goals has not scored won this highland we’ve see in in fits and starts other players that you’ve talked about at the levels have have dropped is there any question Micah that the players have stopped responding or are not responding right now to their manager no I I don’t I don’t think they’re they’ve stopped responding I think all players have’ all been in dressing room sometimes you get frustrated whether you’re playing or you’re not I think the intensity in which he’s had them performing for so many years even he said in his interview beforehand there’s a level where you might drop off he was expecting it before and I think we’re just finding out the players we’re getting a bit older now and in Midfield they’re getting overrun at the back they making the wrong decisions but when you ask about pep and what he’s done in in the Premier League and why when he asked the question to Daniel have they still got a chance and why he doesn’t want to concede right now is because he’s a trend Setter when we talk about fullbacks coming in when you talk about Center half stepping in as well putting players on different positions putting Jon stones in a number 10 in a Champions League final he has changed the game completely and we’re all sort of here now figuring out ways is how how is he going to do the next thing to get him back playing at this moment in time they look like they’ve lost a bit of energy and that intensity but in terms of the manager you always think he’s going to figure something out somewhere down the line I think we can all obviously be quite critical and uh as ex players but I don’t think any of us could sit here and criticize pepper Man City for what they’ve done and it’s just a remind it all of us the standards their points total their style of play the type of goals the type of football they’ve played has just been unbelievable but it’s not about now so much as it’s about the future we’re talking about Roy you played against Alex Ferguson for so many years and and what would he do he would sometimes bring in a new voice as an assistant or change something yeah of course and it’s about getting players in and again I suppose pep and staff would be looking at it they look in January but maybe in the summer almost another rebuilding job build another team that that’s what he’s got to do but we see it you talk about the future but you still have to give credit to these players and pep for what they’ve done the last few year they’ve set the stands of the Premiership I pr for Man United and it’s not easy for me to say that so we see a man City team here getting easily beaten they looked weak in Midfield they didn’t look like they were all in a together and it’s just a combination of lots of stuff injuries we’re talking about here pep how is he Pep’s going to fix it if anyone will fix it it’ll be pep he’s one of the greatest managers of all time but the beauty what I’m kind of enjoying I don’t mean in this sick I’m enjoying seeing I’m struggling it’s great cuz all of a sudden we thinking P’s pep got all the answers not at the moment he hasn’t but recruitment whatever and and we talk about recruitment some of recruitment recently hasn’t been hasn’t been that great so there’s a question marks over a lots of areas of Man City I I think Roy’s right I think there be a lot of coaches up in down the country watching his interviews before every game and after how he deals with that situation and I think I don’t know what the white raed I’m looking for is but not so much enjoying it but actually thinking finally he’s maybe going through a little bit what every other coach goes through sleepless nights waking up in the morning the first thing you think about should I try him and you’re second guessing yourself because everything he’s ever tried before has worked but I think what it shows is no matter how great we think these managers are they still need great players and I go back to Jen klopp a couple of years ago when his Midfield legs are gone he finished outside the top four Pep’s first season at Manchester City he didn’t have the fullbacks he had he wanted to do what he wants I think all he had four fullbacks at City I think Gail cliche was on sh there was maybe another couple they didn’t have the legs in the energy they finished third as soon as he got the players he wanted they ran away what everything but they haven’t got the Midfield players right now in in terms of legs and energy to do what he wants and that’s why they’re struggling and I don’t think there is a real quick fix to this well they’re obviously massively low on confidence as well could could one win Daniel change the direction of travel for City whether it comes whether it’s against Forest this week not one I think it’s an accumulation of performances where they gain belief multiple players are performing well at the same time and they they gain momentum I think it’s about gaining momentum now and and once you build on one performance build on to the next and it’s a game by- game situation right now yeah you look at City over last few years City would look at them games when in their Prime going listen you you’d fancy them to win all of them they look awful they that’s what we here after them six game Man City won won all six of them that is a difference but when you’re but you’re in the Run of form that you’re in now for any team you start looking at the that one on Mid you go Chris W’s playing well isn’t he Manchester United as well unitedly looking hard absolutely but even pep there like saying you’re getting sacked in the morning just think of all the managers up and on the country who get they listen to that every week so it’s what was it like when I was manager yeah yeah most weeks but it just makes Pep look ordinary at a moment and that’s great for other managers gives them encouragement you want to go car a do you know what we’re not we’re not talking about Arsenal right now are we well obviously they’re not been playing today but yeah are they the biggest danger do we think yeah I I think um now that they’ve got odard back in the team I I think they look like a different proposition I think was too reliant on sacka he was getting double up at times and now oards creating that space and not even just a space face is his football brain and the passes that he can make them defense splitting passes that not a lot of players in the Premier League can do I I I think in some ways Arsenal be kicking themselves because this is City are having a bad season City not the same that we’ve seen and they’ll probably think where Liverpool that should be us this was our season to do that so I think be of frustration with what happened at the early on the season I think since the last International break Liverpool’s next four was sort of Southampton here in two away games so they had three away games in the four it looks like Arsenal back winning games but if Liverpool win their games you look you look at it and you think well Arsenal hav gained on them and Liverpool have actually played tougher games you got City out the way at home they played three away games so I I I really do think this this week is is is sort of city will Arsenal will be looking at and thinking Liverpool will drop points in one of those games but if they don’t I think it’ be a body blow for them me [Music]
