My name is DJ and welcome to Austin's and feel angle episode 3 You're only triple a great Liverpool FC podcast where passionate copides resonate We've got a great show in store for you today We're going to be talking about the game that passed last weekend the big big game between The first and third place team Liverpool against Arsenal last week We're going to dive into the game performance some key moments the key players and statistics And even dive into what we think might How it would impact the long-term? season for both teams We're also going to touch on Liverpool's midweek Carabao Cup game against Brighton where Liverpool traveled to the Amex Stadium Liverpool beat Brighton by three goals to two. We're going to touch a little bit more about that And of course, we are going to dive into The game coming up this weekend, which is Liverpool playing at Anfield against Brighton again this time in the Premier League instead of the Carabao Cup, so And of course, you know referring to the poll that I've seen from the last few podcasts Understand that there has been some information Where where people have highlighted topics that they would like us to talk about and it looks like following the last couple of Polls that we've put out there it looks like the the next topic that people are interested for us to talk about is Arne Slott so far so we will spend a little bit of time talking about what Arne Slott has done and How we believe his tactics are being implemented and some new rules that he's implementing in the team and how he's carrying the team Speaking of which Arne Slott has been nominated for the manager of the month award And I think it might be his second nominee already. He did win it once already if I'm not mistaken So we will dive into that a little more later on in the show alright, so without spending any more time Without spending any more time on Introductions, let's dive right into the first sector of the show We will talk about last weekend's Premier League game at the Emirates Stadium Where it ended 2-2 between Arsenal and Liverpool But Kai Osaka gave Arsenal the lead on nine minutes only for Virgil van Dijk to equalize nine minutes later and Arsenal eventually took the lead through Moreno in the 43rd minute just before halftime I think that that goal was being debated by the VAR team whether it was onside or offside and I Have my own opinion on you know, how how VAR is really being implemented right now. I Definitely think that decision should have been made a lot quicker We do know that the goal eventually stood Arsenal went into halftime leading the game to one and of course in the second half Arsenal were still a very big threat, but I think Liverpool did manage to contain them, especially on the counter-attack and especially on the wings But Kai Osaka was a little more quiet in the second half and Eventually, we did see Mohamed Salah Getting the equalizer. Thanks to a great pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold opening up Darwin Nunez on the right side of the wing and he made a Great pass giving it a ball straight into Mohamed Salah Where he placed it in the bottom corner a little more detail on the performance so far so we touched on the Kai Osaka So on the Kai Osaka there The statistic that was achieved for by him over the weekend was becoming the youngest Arsenal player ever to achieve 50 Premier League goals And he has achieved it at the age of 23 years old and 52 days the other players on that list The number one player is actually Robbie Fowler who is the youngest to achieve 50 goals And that was done at the age of 20 years old Michael Owen closely behind him with 20 years and 256 days Wayne Rooney at 21 years old Romelu Lukaku at 22 Ronaldo at 22 Harry Kane at 23 and 44 days and Kai Osaka Achieved it as I said 23 years old and 52 days So I mean it just shows what a talent this young man is he in the game Of course, he was dominating that left wing. He was giving Andy Robertson a lot of trouble Cutting inside cutting back outside Even the goal he scored it was actually a fantastic run with that explosiveness down that line and as he controlled the ball As Andy Robertson was trying to close him down. He actually controlled it while nutmegging Andy Robertson and within a Split second. He took the shot straight past Coleman Kelleher, so Saka definitely a great talent there He definitely gave Liverpool a hard time. I think in the second half Liverpool did go with I want to say Kostas Simikas and left-back sort of try to tighten things up a little more Luis Diaz who was actually on the left wing in the first half got Substituted some part in the second half with Cody Gakpo and we have seen this where where our next slot really would use Gakpo instead of Well, he'll use them pretty interchangeably on the left wing and he does have a high work rate Tend to drop down a little more as compared to Luis Diaz Luis Diaz is very very creative and you know a trickster a very very good dribbler down the wing Very hard to keep him contained, but you know, it's defensive work may not be as Disciplined and industrious as Cody Gakpo and we could see on this lot Understand that and that's why he made that change in the second half So that was definitely a good move to help contain Arsenal a little more That was a that was actually one of the key moments when you know, Liverpool worth actually Turning the table around in that second half As we said the halftime score was 2-1 to Arsenal in the second half. Arsenal could not score again Liverpool did equalize through Mohamed Salah and Let's touch a little bit on that Previously we talked about Mohamed Salah where he has actually now scored his 163rd Premier League goal for Liverpool taking him to eight in the overall rankings Very very impressive. I mean There was a lot of talk when Liverpool first signed him in 2017, you know, people were saying that he's a One season wonder when he did that outstanding one 44 goals so 45 goals in that first season But you know despite the age, you know, he's 32 years old He's managed to stay consistent at the highest level of intensity. He's playing almost every game he he Knock on wood when I say this, but you know, he's never really gotten a serious injury and thank God for that he's always kept himself fit and looked after himself, so Mohamed Salah You know, he didn't have too many chances through the game But there were some moments where he did Unfortunately, you know Arsenal defended really well against him But then again, you know, he is one of those players where he just needs one chance and he will make it count he's Been a little wasteful in previous seasons under the Klopp's era You know, sometimes a little reluctant to make passes He's a little selfish at times and I've heard various comments about Mohamed Salah But he is just so so good at what he does. He's got such Devastating pace. He's got a great pass on him. He's got great vision. He knows how to finish He's got the composure in the box He's scored some crazy goals for Liverpool over the years And I definitely think you know with Salah still in the team He definitely is a leader Given how well he's performed given how well he's performed in the previous seasons Mohamed Salah is definitely a key player for Liverpool and with all the contract talks about renewal being Rumored right now Liverpool will definitely want to keep him for the next couple years as that will help them Transition and grow and develop other players because he can be a great mentor to the team So Mohamed Salah, yes, he definitely scored the equalizer, but let's give credit to somebody else here Darwin Nunes he He created the chance. He had some really good moments in the game he's the one that made the assist for Salah to score that goal he made that run and Captain chaos as they used to call him last season. He has actually created so many opportunities to spite Only playing significantly less games as compared to Cody Gakko and being only engaged as a sub on some of the games he Definitely had the composure. It's great to see Darwin You know have a little more maturity. I think in the first couple of seasons under Klopp you saw he was a little bit chaotic and you know clumsy with the ball and You know taking shots out of crazy ranges and don't don't get me wrong. He did score some ridiculous goals, but Sometimes it's about decision-making for professional players, right? You only get one chance or half a chance sometimes in these games and you want to make them count so Definitely, that's something maybe Arnett slots looking into you can see Darwin Nunes has taken a little more Composed approach to his game style. He's not as in I can't say the word intense because he is intense when you play against him and You can see how he closes down players and the opponents But maybe one thing that's different is because of how Liverpool press right now. You can see Darwin Nunes picking his moments he is Choosing to press in an angulated run rather than just closing straight down something he's probably learned with Klopp before but now maybe Arnett slot is sharpening that that edge of his skill to make him more effective and he's probably not going to have to work as Hard as he used to because Arnett slots team is definitely a team that looks to Stay calm and keep its composure when they're under a lot of pressure That was not very evident throughout most of the game, but we can definitely see that You know in the second half Liverpool were a lot more composed Van Dijk and Konate were winning the challenges They were you know a lot more in control as compared to that first half where it was a little nervous You know being a Liverpool fan watching the game Seeing Andy Robertson being cut open that easily and of course on the other side with Gabriel Martinelli he was taking advantage of Trent stepping up and stepping into midfield leaving gaps on that right-hand side Martinelli definitely took some advantage and took some attempts at the dribble past players But Konate shut him down pretty easily So that was really good Overall I think it was a fair result a very cagey game most of most of the game was Very closely fought especially in that first half was a little bit nervy for Liverpool fan Much better performance in the second half Liverpool, you know again on the Arnish lot showing great character Showing great resilience to keep fighting back to try and get a point. I definitely think it's a point. I Definitely think it's a point well earned for Liverpool, you know If you told Arnish law that you would be traveling to the Emirates and you'll be taking a point away He would have bitten your hand off if you offered that deal before the game even kicked off I don't know definitely a bit more disappointed. It's a very well-drilled Arsenal team under Mikel Ocetta They would have definitely wanted all three points, but given Liverpool's Strong fight back in the second half and How they actually closed down spaces a lot better. I think it was Overall a very fair result to end as 1-1 that result puts Arsenal in third place Liverpool in I believe second place and Manchester City going top With that result, of course, Man City are only one point on top with 23 points and Liverpool probably on 22 and Arsenal on 18 so that's what the top three looks like right now and That wraps up the first segment of our show We'll be taking a very short break here. And when we come back, we'll be talking about Liverpool's game against Brighton in the League Cup or Carabao Cup Well, and then we'll touch on the other topics in the next two sections following that We'll have a little bit of a pregame discussion about Liverpool vs. Brighton in the Premier League this coming weekend And we'll have a short conversation about on their slots performance and his nomination for manager of the month All right, so we'll be taking a very short break and we will speak to you guys soon All right. Welcome back to Austin's Anfield angle episode 3 so we're talking about the next topic today That is the League Cup competition between Brighton and Liverpool that happened on Wednesday afternoon Liverpool beat Brighton by three goals to two two goals from Cody Gakpo and one from Luis Diaz Brighton had a goal in the 81st minute by Adingra and Lampe Making it a bit of a nervy finish towards the end of the game Both teams definitely made a lot of changes given that it's a very common pattern in the League Cup The Carabao Cup is it's known for nowadays Both teams make approximately eight changes players like Yaros came in gold Gerald Kwanzaa stepped into center mix center defense with Joe Gomez Connor Bradley made his first appearance after almost six weeks out with injuries Wataru Endo stepped into the defensive midfield role giving Ryan Gravenberg an opportunity to rest in midweek and Tyler Morton was a Surprise inclusion in the game. He was Not not featured very frequently in the first 12 games. We've had so far And he certainly did do very well in his performance in center midfield, of course He was you know, lacking a little bit of fitness we could see through the game But that wasn't too evident To some of the other players Who were around him and that certainly helped? Provide a good overall team performance two goals from Cody Gakpo He seems to be enjoying himself in this competition. He scored four in consecutive games in this competition To help the Reds last year Where they eventually beat Chelsea in the final Liverpool are the defending League Cup champions They have won it the most times as compared to any other English club I believe it might be ten times now. They've been they've lifted this trophy So once again, it was a very good composed performance from Liverpool We definitely have a few points to note here first and foremost First and foremost Coleman Telleher was rested and Yarris was given an opportunity to step into the starting 11 He definitely impressed very early on. I think in 12th minute where he had to make important one on one on one save against Lampe he he rushed out quickly enough where he closed down the angles Lampe had a one-on-one chance and He eventually blocked the shot I can imagine what kind of game it would have been if Liverpool had gone a goal down that early on Putting a lot of additional pressure on themselves making it a very Very much an uphill battle to climb out of that situation The other surprise I would like to touch on was noticing Andy Robertson who was included in the starting 11 Most of the time you want to keep your Starting 11 players rested and I was a bit surprised to see Robertson Kept in the squad, but after thinking about it in a little more detail I realized that you know Robertson didn't have a great game over the weekend and he's one of the most experienced players We've got a defense right now, especially in that left-back position Position Andy Robertson probably would have been a good option to be arrested However, our next slot chose to go with him on that left-back position instead of using Kostas Simikas Thinking about this maybe Robertson's poor performance over the weekend against Arsenal may have Changed Arnish slots decision over there He would have wanted you know, typically as a professional player on the on any position whenever you do have a poor performance You do want to get right back onto the field and try and redeem yourself And in this case, I think Arnish slot has Maintained his trust in Andy Robertson putting him on the left-back position and giving him the captain's armband for the day It also makes sense when you do have so many changes Especially in defense with Trent missing, Kanate missing, Van Dyck who's normally there You know Robertson was actually probably one of the most experienced players in the team You know You do want someone in defense to to be aware about How to organize your wall how to organize your spacing between your goalie and your center defense and how you close the gap between Defense and midfield. So given the younger players on the other side may not have been as experienced as he was I think having Robertson in there was was pretty good overall He did have a significantly better performance as compared to what he did over the weekend. He Closed down spaces really well. He pushed up. He made some good crosses in he tracked back He wasn't caught out of position held off sideline really well And overall a very good strong performance from Andy Robertson over here definitely You know redeeming himself after the weekend performance The other other player just want to quickly touch on was Gerald Kwanza. So Gerald Kwanza is actually a little bit of Interesting conversation piece given that he was initially ahead of the pecking order ahead of Just behind Van Dyke and that was at the time especially towards last last season he was Our favorite or well not favorite Jurgen Klopp's favorite choice to pair with Virgil van Dyke in this defense However, when Arnish lot came in we noticed that he did initially have him in the first game But he was taken off very quickly and Arnish lot gave reasoning given that he lost too many Aerial challenges with losing headers So he took him off and I think Gerald Kwanza had not really stepped back into the starting lineup ever since Not even made a substitutes appearance since then A little bit surprising considering how well he performed under Jurgen Klopp last season and the season before I think He's a very quick young defender. He's very tall and big reminds me a little bit of Virgil van Dyke And I think the other thing is, you know, Gerald Kwanza needs to be partnered with a very experienced center back so When he does play with Virgil van Dyke, he does perform a lot better Probably also because van Dyke it's a really strong leader in defense It's always giving instructions always checking on his goalkeeper and checking in midfield It's always making sure the players on the right positions holding the offensive line holding a defensive line Keeping keeping the offside trap very much active in most cases And in in this case Gerald Kwanza, you know He probably did not perform as well in that first few games of the season or the first game of the season I mean, that was the only appearance I believe he had and This this weekend this Wednesday was actually the first time we saw him come back into the starting 11 He definitely played well. I don't think he made did too much wrong here he Definitely got back some of his confidence. I believe given that he was dropped from the squad previously He he didn't do too much wrong and definitely a good performance overall definitely giving him a little more You know Confidence to come back and work harder and hopefully try and make his way back into that starting 11 You know Liverpool we always have high high competition between our our players and that's always a good thing Keeps everyone on their toes. So hopefully you see Gerald Kwanza come back into the starting 11 in the coming weeks Other than that, we also saw Curtis Jones playing in a very different position I think this time for the League Cup game. We definitely think that Arnish slot was trying a little bit of experimental formation most of the times the way Liverpool lined up in that game and looked like it was a 4-2-4 with Morton and Endo into holding the midfield positions Diaz on the right-hand side Gakpo on the left wing where he's most of the time preferred And Silva fly and Jones playing up front. We typically saw that formation Once in a while with with Jurgen Klopp, you know when he was pushing for a goal or something like that in this case It was something a little different. We've not really seen this kind of a formation from Arnish slot We know that he's usually more of a composed possession type manager where he'd like to keep the ball build build the game from defense and Eventually progress the game and transition into midfield and then launch attacks Not very much a counter-attacking team as for Jurgen Klopp's time This definitely this was something very different. So it was like at sometimes we feel that he was a little He brings a lot of energy to the team, but he was definitely a little out of position. He was not You know, we were having Robert Roberto Fumio in that false nine position few years ago And we've never been able to replace him really or how that position should be played So the fly in this case was trying to step into that false nine role, you know It's sort of like a number ten and a false nine, you know gravitating more towards a number ten given that his natural ability, but The best thing about having Silva fly in there was the energy he brings The intensity he brings and the aggression he brings into that midfield Curtis Jones, you know a similar kind of player but a little more flair and you know passing ability to his game rather than just explosiveness and energy and and You know power and in this case compared to Silva slot Both players did fairly well But I think eventually You know Silva fly was replaced by Darwin Nunez I think towards the end of the game just so he can rest up for the upcoming weekend where Liverpool do play Brighton again this time. It's going to be at Anfield. It will be a Premier League game and We will be touching a little more on that one very shortly. So We're going to be taking a very quick break again. And when we come back, we'll take Closely look at the build-up to Liverpool vs. Brighton this this weekend where it will be held at Anfield and we're going to expect to be seeing significant amount of changes and We'll definitely be seeing the likes of Mo Salah Definitely Darwin Nunez Van Dyke coming back into the team for that weekend probably McAllister And maybe Senecas, you know instead of Robertson or maybe Robertson might keep his place So anyway, we'll take a deeper dive into the build-up to that Premier League game and what we can expect to see from Liverpool Against Brighton this week this weekend at Anfield. We'll be right back after a short break Alright, welcome back guys to Austin's Anfield angle and this is Episode 3 and we are back And we're going to talk about the build-up to the Premier League game at Anfield where Liverpool take on Brighton only 65 hours after just playing at the Amex in the reverse fixture for the Carabao Cup of course The Carabao Cup had multiple changes to a regular starting 11 from both sides So we can definitely anticipate for this return game For this Premier League game to see, you know, the likes of Mohamed Salah Darwin Nunez Coleman Kelleher Van Dyke all returning to starting lineup We definitely would be able to also See similar stars from Brighton's team come back like Danny Welbeck You know resume taking this place up front I also do note that you know that this is probably a very common team where you see Repeat fixtures, especially in in the Premier League and other professional leagues as well It is very common for teams to play one another in the space of 48 hours I think a couple seasons ago. It was Liverpool in the Arsenal in the Carabao Cup and as well as Liverpool and Manchester United played off one another in I think the Europa League and Maybe even the Premier League several seasons ago in the Jurgen Klopp era Anyway, let's get back dialed into the actual game and what to expect In My opinion, you know, I think Mohamed Salah is going to be a key figure once again He has had 15 goal involvements out of 14 games in this fixture Goal involvements meaning it could have been either been assists or goals scored He has been performing very well this season already And I think we will see some some important contributions from Mohamed Salah Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz in this game Probably Luis Diaz might be given a rest given he started midweek. I do know Andy Robertson may be given a rest as well. Given the fact that he that he just played against Brighton midweek in the Carabao Cup Of course, we are going to be expecting to see players like Ryan Gravenberg returns tournament feel where Taro endo even though being very impressive. He may be rested once again Or you know Arna slot may even choose to tweak and maintain some of the midweek players So we have some interesting choices there to look forward to what Arna slot will decide on Definitely Arna slot will be hoping to see a less chaotic performance from his Liverpool team this weekend last weekend They did they did have a bit more of a tough time taking on Arsenal where they were Being stretched, you know, they were putting under being put under a lot of pressure Somewhat chaotic at times a little nerve-wracking in defense Panic clearances we saw all that and probably it's just because of how Arsenal took on the game The draw last weekend definitely saw the Liverpool give up their top spot in the Premier League Of course, you know, but if they do win this weekend, they could leapfrog Manchester City You know and regain that top spot Brighton have definitely been performing really well on their manager Fabian Herzler Hope I got that name, right? But they have had a few setbacks in the past week, of course Wednesday's defeat And a recent implosion when they played against Wolves Where they conceded in the 88 and 93rd minute to give up a two-nil lead and ending up drawing that game So they would want to have a bit of a reaction from that In terms of team news, you know, Liverpool are still without Allison Harvey-Adams Still without Allison Harvey-Adams and Chiesa Of course, Diogo Jota is still not likely to return anytime soon most likely all these players would be Most likely coming back after the November international break the good news is that Arnold Slot did welcome back Conor Bradley in midweek after a long injury Giving Trent Alexander-Arnold a much-needed break Which we well we do expect Alexander-Arnold to return to starting lineup this weekend. So that will be One position we can be pretty confident. He would step back into You know Kody Gakko has taken his chances And and he's always performed when selected ahead of Diaz and we can always definitely count on You know on our slot trying to rotate some of its players once again Just to juggle the intensity of the Premier League schedule for some of these players We do know some of these players are trying to regain full fitness Some players did not get to play as much recently, so they're regaining some form and they're trying to recover from injuries and Reestablish themselves into that starting 11 and you know how it is with a new manager and a team every player wants to impress so Arnold Slot will definitely be looking into Keeping his team fresh, but you know not chopping and changing too much Where it actually impacts the team chemistry for the performance All right. So in terms of predicting lineups, I definitely think we could expect a typical 4-2-3-1 formation Callagher Trent Gnate, Van Dijk all returning to that back four Possibly only Seneca's might step in for Robertson, but that will be something we'll look we'll have to see on the weekend what happens Gravenberg back in midfield McAllister back in midfield Sobozlai should regain his spot. And of course that front three will be Salah Nunes and either Diaz or Gakpo one of them So look forward to seeing that In terms of Brighton, I definitely think You know Matt O'Reilly and and Joao Pedro are back in training and Louis Dunk is also edging closer to a return But they may or may not start the game They may still miss the game depending on fitness or unless it's a last-minute choice Adam Webster, James Milner and Sully March are all sidelined which they will miss the game We all remember James Milner. He played a good Eight years with Liverpool or something like that You know, but they're all most likely not going to be available for the game The Anticipated lineup would be very similar four two three one You know, I I don't know if there'll be too many significant changes Definitely Mitoma well back Estupian You know, most of these guys would be making their way back into the team and we will definitely expect a hard-fought battle between the two teams just expecting it to be a little more of a counter-attack end-to-end game You know, we we'd already touched on some statistics On goal contributions and what is your typical style of play? And we definitely wouldn't anticipate a very entertaining game. It always is when it's frightening in Liverpool. So That is something we're pretty excited about All right, guys. So now we've come into the final section of the show We're going to be talking a little bit today about Arne Slott And you know a little bit about his coaching philosophy and how well he's done to date And also, you know just highlight the fact that he has been nominated for Manager of the Month Award He did win it once already and this is may be his second time Winning it after a really good month of October. So let's talk a little bit about Arne Slott tactical formation and philosophy we do know that he's a very calculated and meticulous man, which has a Special approach to possession football. He believes in patient build-up play high-intensity pressing aimed to establish control And achieve a tactical superior superiority Unlike Jurgen Klopp's style, Slott has a strategy where he prioritizes technical finesse over physicality and emotion You know, he he definitely prefers employing a 4-3-3 formation or a 4-2-3-1 So but sometimes that fluctuates into a 4-2-4 formation during build-up phases You know it takes his style really focuses a lot on Tactical traps rather than relentless pressing which we saw on their Jurgen Klopp before he's definitely a Person where he likes to set up his team to dominate possession and you know Try and lure opponents into you know offside traps and and get them into little pockets Where they get caught in the counter and You know through precise ball handling movements, you know, he tries to open up spaces and create rapid transitions into their attack His strategy, you know typically integrates Maintaining a high fitness level like and of course Jurgen Klopp's style was very similar But he's also instilling the psychological Resilience in the team that typically tries to complement his tactical framework, you know the use of Fullbacks are a little bit similar to what we've seen with Jurgen Klopp You know, they're pivotal in the setup and they often invert into a dynamically Outward position to bank crosses in and Sometimes they would invert into the midfield Allowing the other players to push up front wide Players like Gravenmerk and Silverfly from midfield, you know He he does like to focus also on developing young players rather than signing big-name players A good example is young Kuba Minte who has nine contributions in nine games Who's currently on loan from Newcastle? This person I believe played In Fairnord Of course some other examples include Matt's Weaver and David Hanco Will also played really well under his guidance in his previous teams His overall management style we talked about, you know, having a lot more of a possession based football game he does like to have two defensive midfielders and We've seen McAllister and Gravenberk both sit in that that position But of course when you're attacking he does allow one or two of one of two midfielders to actually step forward and support the attack and Just going back to his performance so far with Liverpool He had won 10 out of 12 games at Liverpool the only one defeat coming against Nottingham Forest And of course that 2-2 draw that happened last weekend against Arsenal other than that, he's won every game and Not just one, but I think I'd like to just say he's controlled the game and managed the game towards a victory Many of the games we see Liverpool start off a little slow very composed patient build-up Even when they do lose the lead, you know, they they very quickly carve out an opportunity but it's not hasty, it's not You know, very not an impatient approach. It's very well Carved out and picked moments when they pick and score their goals A very different approach definitely to what we're used to in the last decade I definitely think Arnaslott is on the right track. He's doing all the right things. Of course, he's not signed any players he's practically inherited a Really strong squad He's in a position where he's only made one signing for Frederico Chiesa And he's relying a little more on younger players to fill in the gaps when needed Of course contracts with specific players are important to be sorted out. But you know, that is a different topic Arnaslott himself, you know, he focuses more on The team and coaching and doesn't get too involved and sidetracked into contract negotiations and You know all the other bullshit stuff that we hear some of the reporters come out asking about He's a very very football focused. He wants to talk about football. He wants to talk about his tactics He wants to talk about how the game can get better how he believes the team can perform better And how he can improve specific players in the team, right so very very down-to-earth man Definitely sounds like he's got a very cool head Screwed on there. He's definitely also Very young so we do know he will learn and get better with experience He's not not someone who is very Emotional and he's definitely not very Rude I would say would keep in the press conferences. He's really a very calm composed Individual he knows how to handle himself. He knows how to handle the hard questions. He knows how to dance around on those questions as well And he's got real good PR skills. Basically, that's what I'm saying. So, you know, and that's being transitioned over Key players, I noticed a one of the interviews with Van Dyck previously and even with Gravenberg he's you know, he's his style is starting to rub off onto the players and the players are having this this a little bit of a calmness about them when they respond in interviews and How they handle themselves on and off the pitch and which which is a good thing overall, right? You want that kind of professional Professional development to handle the media I mean Liverpool, of course always had that with players and most professional teams do give their players specific training for that But in this case, you know when it's it's being done by the leader of the group You know, especially a head coach or a manager and even the captain starts to pick up on it Eventually all the other players would learn from it too. And so that's a really good thing so far So that brings us to is the tail end of our show the general ladies and gentlemen, so we have Pretty much covered all the topics. We want to talk about we're all pretty excited about the game that's happening in a few hours So it will be a 10 a.m. Kickoff here in the u.s Central time zone check your local listings. You definitely don't want to miss this this game It's always proven to be a very entertaining game between both sides And will we go to will be intense stuff? So and you know Brighton might be trying to come back from midweek with a little bit of revenge So a lot to look forward to for the game Definitely we will probably post up some post-match reactions We'll try to do something next week Earlier in the week rather than waiting to it's the Friday We will have some reactions to the game some analysis discussions and build up to the next Premier League games the week after so we We were still fairly new.
