Phil seems calm. He's eating chocolate, though, it's a bad sign. I'm Trev Denney, and joining me in our palatial studio are Stephen Daly, who's just nipped out Dave Fermiss and Phil Casey. The segment of the show that we're going to broadcast is the part least likely to result in lawsuits. It's the review of the defeat to the Gunners. So, gentlemen, one of we learned from the Arsenal game is the question. I want to get a point or two from everybody. Now, I'll actually start this off and you can respond to this. We're like, who's kept talking? I didn't have any faith in you people doing that. I think so. I'm going to talk. So it's the most glaring lesson from my perspective. Look, you don't play Hendo at wing back is the lesson that I've learned from that. Phil and Dave, I don't know what you think about that. I think you take away dynamism, you take away a valuable shield. You read the sort of a valuable link to attack and an emerging gold trade as well. So Dave, what do you think about that? How would you respond to that idea? Well, you don't play Anderson on a right wing back to play Lucas and Alan. Do you know what I mean? I mean, if you've got pop up, I've found out that it's a little weirdo, but we don't move. You don't move Anderson to right wing back to play Lucas and Alan in the midfield. But it turns out different observations. I think Mark wish deserved more of a run. I don't think he should have been the sub. I think that the fact that we fail to address that sentiment field, I don't want any of the chocolate fucking right. The fact that we fail to address that sentiment field issue, it baffles me. So the sub was terrible to take Mark of a job for Sturridge, just meant that we had no legs at all in midfield then, because Sturridge wasn't dropping in. Sterling was isolated. So that was my first observation on the game. So you would concur completely with this idea about Handel not taking a match? Oh, yeah, absolutely. It's there ever a time, there isn't. Let's. Let's rank our sentiment field as right from one, two, you know, five, Henderson's number one. Do you don't move him? This is my point. What's your thoughts on taking Handel? As ever as people normally see this, I completely don't pay attention to anything. That's my most direct question. It's only very fortunate on a topic that we're talking about. So we're giving you a question for you, fella. Would I have swapped out Handel? It's arriving back now. Nope. It's madness, right? It's absolute madness. Oh, it's stable. Oh, it's stable. It's stable who's been sitting there all the time. Curried speaking with two calories, but whatever. You'd be good with T.C. Yeah. So, no, no, I don't know, and Dave's covered it after. I'll joke him, sorry, he's covered it after. Like, why would you move our best sentiment fielder? That's been there on season now, no, not that he's necessarily back. Move them. But I don't think Dave does much on this. What do you think he was thinking? What do you think he was thinking? Sorry, I was going to go on, yeah. What do I think he was thinking? Brendan, who picks the team, you know, not that. I don't know what he did. I don't know why he just be taking half the time. I'm not even going to hazard again. Look, to be honest with you, go back to the point. You said, what did we learn from that game? I hate that black jersey. Like, a rainy day, every time I say it says Dennis the Menace, and it just, it menaces my head in, right? They say, when I say it now, and I feel sorry for me. How long have you been working on this, Dennis the Menace, and it menaces my head in? How long have you been working on that? I've been trying to work on this. Every week he's hoping we'll wear it so we can use it as well. Second part of the role he's invented, a verb, it menaces my head in. Yeah, it's men who's wearing it. But, like, genuinely, I just stuck here. It always screams, something's going to go wrong when I say it. The yellow boat, and that's what does it, you know? Yeah, the yellow boat, and I have a problem with the yellow boat. And then, the other thing I learned is that, in reality, blaming the tactic, blaming the players as opposed to the tactics is very reductive as an argument from the manager. Because you can't have one without the other. So, if the tactics aren't working, or if the players don't see the tactics that you're playing, then the players aren't going to perform well. It's my only criticism of him later, lately, as he's doing that, a little bit deflection. Steve, what did you learn from the game? What's the question? Little bit, yeah, little bit. I can give you the quotes, I'll give you the quotes. Yeah, I haven't listened to too much after the game. If I'm honest with you, I just kind of went into a chat. That's right. Yeah, a little bit of a shout-off, I'm honest. I was just sort of put my mind back to this game and just said, "Right, let's get the cup game out of the way." And then, I still think top four is a possibility. So, I'm not utterly despondent. Yeah, yeah, I do. I do, I do. And I was the one when all of you fuckers were saying that Tom last year for the league was being the most pessimistic behind it, probably. But, no, I still think it is because I think we forget, we've lost two big games in the last two weeks. Yes, or in the last couple of weeks. And they still have a lot of big games against each other. You know, Spurs could still have a say in United and Arsenal's outcomes. You know what I mean? So, I'm not overly worried. I think if we can get back on a run two or three games on the bounce, you could look at it and all of a sudden we're four points behind it. And you're looking and saying, right, there's four games to go, four points to catch. You'd have to still feel like we could do it if we were on a bit of a run at that stage. And one of the other two had sort of faltered a little. So, you know, I'm not at the point of it's still mathematically possible. I was just in the way there. But like that, no, I think it's from what I learned on Saturday, yeah, you lads were covering it. Well, I was out probably the fact I hate seeing Henderson taking out the middle of the park. You know, is he the most amazing midfielder in the world? No, but he definitely has a vital part in how we play that formation, or pretty much any formation we're trying to play at the moment. And I think that was a big, big loss to put him out to wing back. And your conclusions from the match apart from that particular idea? Still, you know, there's a few things like it's hard to put a figure on it now because I'm really, I should have, because we've had a week to prepare for the park. But once you've completely known two-life cameras, please go with it. I'm a reactive kind of guy. Dave, Dave, I mean, another observation which I thought, which is linked to the hand of some point, is there's no leaders in that team. You know, there's no, well, they're very few leaders in that team. You know, I mean, I heard rumors on Twitter afterwards that, you know, the senior players apparently had a go at Rogers. I was going through my head. I'm like, who is the senior players that were in that team? I'm sorry, I'm going, whoa! Well, Torrey is the one that prompted it all because Rogers had a go at him. I don't see Lucas have a go at him. Lucas isn't an apple boy, man. So then I imagine maybe psycho steps up because, you know, he probably hates Brendan, which is- Skirtle can literally hate Brendan. As I've said, a million times, mainly hates Rogers, so he probably- Yeah, mine Skirtle's are seeing a troll perfectly. But he wasn't in the squad. So I'm wondering who these players are. Okay, can I just say- It could all be, but it could all be, but it could all be, you know. See, you've been in dressing rooms and- Look, how many times have you seen an argument kick off a half-time when things are going shit? Like, the amount of times I've been in an dressing room where managers are playing- Oh, there's one comment and shit just goes bananas. And it just goes bananas. I'm not saying it's a bargain. No, no, I'm just saying. I'm saying, I'm wondering who these players are. I've seen- And I've seen senior players have go back as up managers. But it isn't something that drags on. It's only a problem with the festers and there's a massive issue. No, but the issue is, where was it on the pitch? So well, in good walking into the dressing room, we're picking on your manager who's five foot four and whatever, like, you know. But where are you on the pitch when, actually? That's what I want them to see. When Ozil has gone by. Yeah, that's what he wanted to see. We never put a tackle in the first half. It walks both ways. Going in and attacking a certain player. Like, going in and attacking, say, Torrey, who hasn't played for 400 years now at this stage, right? When, like, you know- But, uh, good. Just in the realm. In the realm. Maybe he's one or two years off. In the realm, 400. No. [LAUGHTER] That's 400. [LAUGHTER] It's the only part that's the same age, you know. Hi. [LAUGHTER] You know, going in and attacking, Torrey, who he's only brought back into the side. How's he though? I don't agree with that. I don't agree with that, right? Because if he did it to Johnson, you'd be, if Johnson has a bad game tonight, then the manager would be- If Johnson was- If Johnson was- Right. If Johnson was- But I might be fucking in the dressing room. What do you know? I'm not in the room. If Johnson has a bad game tonight, because he's starting, and the manager, you heard that the manager went into the dressing room after the game, and sorted him, you wouldn't say, "Oh yeah, but he hasn't played for 400 years now. Let's give the guy a break." You know, I'd have a pop up fucking Rogers for picking the different places. You should have picked Torrey then. No, he shouldn't have picked Torrey. Well, that's the argument. You know, really? That's another lesson you could have done. You should have picked Torrey. You should have picked Torrey. So what did we do from the match? I've been pro-Loveran for ages at this stage. I actually can't- I'd want them to pick Colo, and I'm just like- You can't hide- I said to you last week- I said to you last week, I would have picked and loved on myself. Can't play Colo in a centre. If you're going to play Colo, play him on one of the sides of the centre. He works as Kurt. He's not quick enough. And then when he has his mad 20 minutes, that he has every game, he's not the central defender, putting everything together when he's- Listen, can I- Listen, listen, listen. The two key things was putting in players who hadn't played in a while, that putting in Lucas, putting in Colo, definitely caused us massive issues in the fourth half. You put in Lucas and you take away Hendo. But I do understand why- Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were asking why did he do it? I do understand. Not understand. But I can see the thinking a little bit beforehand. He's gone to- Right there, I've gone to Anfield. I just bossed the final third, pressed the hell out of us, and he's probably thought, Lucas sorts that out. But the mistake is- Removing Henderson out of the equation. So, Alan's the guy that should come out. Lucas goes in, put Henderson next to Alan, and play Manquio or Mark image. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, it's easier to say now. But I mean- No, we were saying at right at that very moment that this isn't the aftertorts. This is in the moment as it's happening. Again, I wouldn't have played it. I said it last week. What the fuck are you doing? Well, I wouldn't have played him ahead of us. I think Alan's had a bad few games. I still wouldn't have played Lucas because he's been out for too long and to turn back into a game of that importance. On the back of him playing, all right, in a fucking charity match, it's crazy, right? I know, but he bossed the challenge. [LAUGHTER] So, it's cool. And I thought it was- Was it his- No, no, no. But genuinely, because I think, especially in that setup that we have at the moment, I just think he needs to be up at full fitness to have any level of practice. I know what you're getting at. I know what you're getting at with the Lucas showed. I think even though- I don't think Lucas was our biggest problem. It was so important. You know what I mean? And the truth is, if you had- When I think it's all, it's a combination. It's a combination. It's a combination. It is. You know what I mean? He wasn't even- It was poor for us 24 minutes. We couldn't get out around half. Couldn't retain possession. I mean, I also were great. First 20 minutes. That's the best performance I've seen someone play against us far since Palace. [LAUGHTER] Since you've knighted the week before. [LAUGHTER] I mean, to be said, I was so right. They looked at what's onesies. So you knighted and looked at what's onesies did, and did what's onesies did bent, and it's onesies. And then I also looked at what you knighted did, and did what you knighted did. So what you're saying is- Gary Monk is a fucking legend. No, what I'm saying is- Gary Monk- If they turn a bunch the last three games, they're going to have- The only problem with Blackborne watching us the last three games is they have no players. The mascot's actually playing tonight in his mascot here. Not just that, but we- Is that a question? We've changed. They're 14 senior players that are injured. So if we don't- We can still take us to Penn's. If we don't win 15-0 tonight, as I predicted last week, then- What odds are they right now? I'm off. I want them to behave for the most. [LAUGHTER] I want them to be there. In all seriousness, since Rogers has been in charge, apart from Arsenal, I think in his first season, has the team took us apart like that? No, to be fair. No, nobody has. No, we don't- Are we going to take it apart? We never- Are we going to see that kind of- Something stupid or an individual error. We don't have- We generally don't have a systematic failure. Yeah, and that's- That's exactly what it was. So, so, so, to put it into relative terms for the game to come up, what have we learned? This is the interesting point about the question. What are we going to do in the back of it? What are the conclusions from the game? I think, first of all, there's very few teams- Could you stop eating chocolate? Put it up, Bonnie. Go on. I do think there's very few teams that can do to us what Arsenal did to us. Yeah, but- But there is, first of all, play your best players in their natural positions. Stop trying to force players into positions where, you know, they're not comfortable. Henderson right wing back is a- is a perfect example. Play storage. Fuck's sake. We have nobody who goes score goals. Play him, or, you know, give him a run. And, you know, make better substitutions. Like, I mean, I think- I think we all- You could pick teams, but you pick a team- That's right. That's right. Great show, Dave. Make better substitutions. Also, put out the team and win match- Just win them. Do you know what I got on this point? When I say this, every now and again, you're going to pick the wrong team. Yeah, yeah. Right? And he picked the wrong team. Let's fix it early. After 20 minutes, it's the wrong team. So then what you should do is you should say, "Okay, let's fix it. Let's beat this, I see." Yeah, you know what it is, isn't it? And he's a little passive when it comes to us. Yeah, like, what did we- Right from in the United game- In the United game, he did- he did do it at half time, and it just went tits up. You know what I mean? That plan went tits up, but- Are we going to any questions? I was coming to win this thing a lot. We have, yeah. No questions. Hang on a second. I don't have a look at it in here. Hello to all the people who think I'm Stuart Dunham. Um, so- It's not his dear Wynton. [LAUGHTER] Hey, Wynton. Supermarket sweet. [LAUGHTER] Well, I think we're going off to the match now. All right. Yeah. Should I say goodbye then? We've had Shout-Stout to do live match commentary. Fuck. [LAUGHTER] We don't want to watch the magic or something. We have ever, ever heard. No, you don't want to watch- I don't want to- I don't want to be a bigger pocket concert than any pod will ever suggest. I don't want to hear you people talk about this. [LAUGHTER] This is good, though. We should do this again. Yeah. That's true. It's like the neck. OK, let's take a look forward to the Newcastle game on Monday night at Anfield. We don't know how to finish it. There's no point in this, really. Oh, it's half time now. Yeah, it's half time now. And we've seen Mamma's cycle limping off with some sort of what looks like some sort of hamstring. A bit of horse per cent to hit me back with earlier. We hope so. We hope so. So look. I mean, there may or may not be some other game to be previewing related to this one, but we can't do it now. So let's talk about Newcastle. It's looking likely the SACO won't play, to be fair. It's a matter of days, Finn. The significance of this Newcastle game for you. The general atmosphere here today is like, well, the efficacy of the cup. I mean, you know, we're interested in all the rest of it, but there's still something to be salvaged from the league. Steve will say in Ireland, he still believes that to you. Well, look, you know, not to go down the statues, but I've been saying for the last two or three or four weeks, look, 73.73 points, 73.73 points. We'll almost guarantee it's half-far. And that 70 is our max, isn't it? No, 75 is our max. OK. So we still have 73 points in us. OK. If we go on and run, that we did, similar to the one that we did up until the Arsenal game. So, you know, you could, if you draw up a Chelsea and you win your remaining games, you'll finish in 73 points. And if we don't get half-far with 73 points, that's only happened once in the last 10 years. That can't be one of those years, though, I think. But look, you know, you know, you have two games. The next two games are City and Chelsea, right? Yeah, and they could quite easily get nothing out of that. And if we win our next two games, we're two points. Two points, after. Yeah, and then all of a sudden... And then it's five points to go, and you're chasing two points, as opposed to what it is. So going into this game, we're scared a bit, is looking at the effort cut much tonight. Like, you see players like Lenson, you know, shown his championship level. And, you know, the temptation will be there for Brendan, who is a sentimentalist to put him back in because of the injuries that we have. When, to be honest with you, he shouldn't even... He shouldn't even be near that stand right in time. He shouldn't even be fucking near that stand right in time. To clarify, it looks like a situation where you may have our first choice, three centre backs all missing for this next game. Oh, no, sorry, we should have... We'll have Emma Chan back here. So, yeah, OK. So you could look at playing the three, but Lovren gone left, Tory, right, and Chan through the middle. Lovren should be the obvious. Of course, yeah, absolutely. Like, I don't think that's even up for discussion. He might go with the flat two, and that's where the worry is then. If you put Chan into a flat back four, I don't know if that's the answer there, you know what I mean? And that's your worry. I'd still go. Look, we've dumped the system tonight, probably due to injuries and suspensions that we have, right? But again, I've been saying it for the last two weeks, there's a small tactical variation in this. You take Lucas out of the side, you put Chan central, and we're all talking about this in terms of... Where do we play him? How are we going to get the best of him? Play him central so he can step in and become a midfielder, so you can change your shape in-game. So teams don't know what you do. Yeah, if you're playing Alan and Henderson with Chan stepping out of the centre back to the centre midfield, it allows you to have more dynamism at the front, because you know you've got that cover that Lucas would normally provide from Chan's step. And then Tory and Lovren can talk in as natural centre backs when he steps up. Yeah, yeah. Dave, we seem to have gone on to what we're going to look like. So you may as well continue on that. Is there anything else you'd suggest in terms of giving the situation with the absences as they're likely to be still jarred out of the equation? I think you would do different to what you've seen here tonight. Well, if our defences aren't going to be as good as it has been for the last 12 games, then we've got to make sure our attack is better. So I would load it with attack in place. Newcastle are fucking atrocious. I'm tired of all that. Senator, is I back any time soon? Yeah, I think he might be fit for Newcastle actually. So personally, I go three at the back. I play Ib at right wing back. Imogen in the back three. I take Lucas out to play Henderson in the middle. Prose to that, I don't know, whatever. But I would just get as many attack in players on the field as you possibly can. I'm blowing Newcastle away. And sure. You hit them already, they're all going to get shit. They got the only worry when Newcastle is I wonder if they were a bit worried they're going to get sucked into a renegiation battle. They step it up. So hopefully they're not quite there. We'd be dumb. They might actually be in a renegiation battle then. But I mean Newcastle are atrocious. Well, they're on a wretched run and a very, very poor side beat them at the weekend in a very sick. No, but I've seen the Liverpool to arrest them. Yeah, for the piece. This is where it's going. This is where I was going with it. And in relationship, you've all dismissed Newcastle. What is it about them? They're everything. They're terrible. Yeah, that's nice and very nice. They don't have any gosh gores, right? They don't have a single gosh, right? As much as we are struggling to score goals. They don't have any on a main score. Who do you think the top score is? Go on, look. I have no idea. That's all. I'd say it's a pop-up. It's probably C.C. I have no idea. I can say it's C.C. And I'd say he actually has more goals. Could you think of the last person to score for Newcastle was? Is it that little fella do you so into? Cabela. Cabela, yeah? Nope. No, I think it's-- I think it's C.C. Well, we've applied to us for putting the prep in. This is good work. Well, I didn't even know who I'm playing. That's the type of side they are. They're a bit of a nothing side. Yeah. They've got a nothing manager. They're, you know, I mean, you read a lot of the articles about Newcastle. They're clubbing, you know, it's-- For more. Constantly limbo. Limbo, yeah, exactly. So they don't want to go any higher. They don't want to get relegated. They're pretty happy. But as you said, I mean, we've always got to fuck up in us. But if it was me, I would play as many attacking players as I could get on the field. And that's how you compensate for the fact that we don't have the best defense. Ooh. You know, we're not playing Arsenal. We're playing Newcastle. Well, I got it. Going back to that. We had Markovic on the pitch. And I think Dave made a fair point when we were talking about Arsenal around. And he took the brunt of, you know, the stuff that he was taking off at half time. I would have had him in one of our three best players in the match that day. I'd bring him back in for this. Yeah. I'd bring him back in. I think he offers us more right wing back than anyone Bar Oib has in that position. I agree. He's probably more of a victim of players than what the change is. The pass against Arsenal has completely skewed the analysis of Markovic's first start. Sterling goes check his one. I agree. I think the pass is fine. I think the pass is fine. It's so glad you agree with me on that. I know we haven't talked about it. But I think the pass is a good pass. I think Sturridge scores that. I think Ballotelli scores that. I think there's two things. Yeah, I think probably a left footer has a better chance of putting that in. Because you're naturally stretching with the body shape that way. But not just that. I think it's a slightly over hit pass by Markovic. I definitely think it's not all on him. Sterling definitely needs to. Yeah, I think what I think happened is after that, he got slaughtered by the commentators. And then the whole half watching Markovic. He plays a brilliant pass after that. Was he playing in Sterling for a chance after that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which Sterling misses. Is that the one where he puts it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know, you're looking at it there. I think there's two chances. That could have been two, one. That's a different game. Look, the point is, I don't think even Brendan, I don't think it was a point he was making. I think he was just a victim of the position that he plays and Brendan wanted to shake up the system. So, yeah, I understand. I think it's very difficult. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what we're going back, but it's a bad sub. I mean, that's not the... But your answer might be nearly to not play. And I'm not doing this for any recent matches. And either Sterling or Moreno. And put Markovic back in or Coutinho. Yeah, like, and go Markovic either left side or left side of it. And have Ib up top, you know, in play Ib in one of the top three. Or play Ib up right, wing back and push Markovic on. And give him that, give him the actual attacking freedom that he probably deserves at this stage and hasn't been given the chance already. He is unlikely to come in from the start though, Jordan Leib. To be fair, haven't been out for a while. Probably not, probably not. But then again, Lucas comes in and fucking Tori comes in at the weekend. If we suck for defenders, you know. If we suck for defenders though, he may not want to play. Well, I don't think Allen's got three games in the weekend, but I'd be saying that for a few weeks now. And Allen just seems to have... But he hasn't, that's the truth. Yeah, I don't think he's standard. Well, your comments on his first half here have been pretty much in keeping with that. He seems to drop above life. Yeah, I mean, he's been a nothing man. That half. Brandon does this every now and again, you know. Play it as a good run of three or four games, and then you have three or four games where he's bad, and you're like, "Okay, now's the time to bring him out." And Allen's had three or four games now where he's looked poor. And I say, "Well, now's the time to bring him out and give someone else a go." So I drop, I take Allen, Allen Oluke, it's one of them to come out. Henderson to move back into the middle, and then you play either Iba Markovich or right wingback, stick the three at the back, and play Sturridge and Stern. Dave, on your point early on that you made a book having an attack in players and loading the team with attacking players. To be fair there, that's only this evening. Those have quite a few attacking players, and we look quite toothless. Yeah, but Blackburn, and that is a value point, because Newcastle could well do this. But Blackburn are sitting behind the ball. I mean, they've got eight nine players being in the ball all the time. Yeah. So we've struggled all season to break teams down. We don't have them. We were talking about it when we've been marching a match. What did you say? We're all Phil and no killer. You know what I mean? We've got all this passing, all this movement, we've got some lovely technical players, Lalana, Coutinho, Sturland, Sturridge. They all want like three, four, Alan. They all want three, four, five touches on the ball. Whereas what we need is what we had with Suarez, which is one touch goal. There we go. Yeah. And as you mentioned about this came out, which are in the week and said... He did. He said right from the first half against Swansea, he's noticed that creeping into our play, we're nowhere near quick enough. We're not shifting the ball quick enough. We're not actually moving up the pitch quick enough in terms of the players actually getting up there to support. I think Markovic and I both give us that. Yeah, absolutely. They're both very directed. The director is very, very directed. And I think Markovic is actually coming in for unfair criticism when he is probably one of the people that is doing what Rodgers wants from players. Yet he's the one that's getting hooked when shit's not going on. Going back to the new castle thing. Again, we're back to to beat this team, you need to be offensively good, right? The only time we've been at our best offensively in that run was when we had all even the team, when we didn't have storage in the team, right? No, no matter how we look at it, we have not been able to get storage back to the level who's playing that. Whether that's there's twofold in this. There's an issue that storage isn't at the level that he was last season. And there's also that we're struggling to get him into this system. Now, whatever way we play, we're playing two up top. When we play one up top, he's nowhere near the player that he is when he's playing with two up top. And we seem resistant to Pope Ballotelli and who has been about the only player he's had a partnership with Alteus. And that's only happening in one actual game. The story is that Ballotelli was resistant to play Ballotelli last week. And Ballotelli was resistant to playing tonight. He said he was feeling sick today. So, I think Ballotelli's decided to see it. He's had an over-branding, perhaps. I think it's a structural thing. I think if you take Ballotelli out, I'll play Sterling Coutinho in storage. But you've got to play Sterling as one of the two in front, not as one of the two behind. Coutinho has to play in the middle. You've got to be playing a one-two rather than the two-one. Exactly. I think that's where storage gets lost. So, is there an argument now? I think one of our... I'm sorry, I think one of our... Is there an argument though? [LAUGHTER] I know where you're going with this. Ricky Lambert is here. [LAUGHTER] I knew the Ricky now. No, there's never an argument. But is there an argument? No. To say, stick him up top. Who? Lambert. Fuck off. [LAUGHTER] Oh, fuck off. You're going to suggest Berenie next, and I'm going to come across the game bar. [LAUGHTER] No. No, sharpened his pen for you. [LAUGHTER] Here's what I'm going to say. No, I'm just saying. I know what you're saying. Actually, to play him as a focal point. And let storage just buzz around him. Yeah, because that worked really well here. But do you know what? No, do you know what will happen? It won't game. Do you know what will happen? It's good. If you play... What are we doing? It's good. If you play Lambert... It's our two equals. All of the fenders will go, "Well, I didn't need to mark him." So we're just double-team storage. Because you could just leave Lambert free, because he's got no pace, can't be. No, I agree with him. It's actually detrimental. One of the major benefits we might have with Newcastle is they don't realise how shit they are. They might try and play a bit. Other teams come and they go, "We're going to set up fucking our stall here. We're going to be ultra-defensive." And they're still out there going, "We're fucking better than this, lads. We're fucking better. Let's have a go at these guns." Can you just pick them off? That's hopefully what happens. I think those will happen to them every season. They believe they're better than they are. I just think we will get more out of Lambert. I know he's tried to play staring up, so I think... You need more than the minus 5% we've got so far. No, but if you're going to play storage, I think that we're a better serve playing staring, maybe as the number 10 and maybe putting continue. Going back to your point about players that are slightly coming out of form, the likes of Alan, right? He hasn't been playing well in the last couple of games. Coutinho hasn't played very well in the last couple of games. And the last... Play Markhamichton. But the last time... Well, maybe. Maybe play Markhamichton to continue. Markhamichton's storage, which is practically what we were trying to do at Arsenal. We just set up the rest of the team wrong. And play the most effective we had staring at. Packing, in that side, is playing them as the 10. Yep. And then do that, like... Again, I'd go back, as I said, it's a small tactical variation. It's moving the shape around, and it's giving Chan the license to step into midfield, and not playing Lucas. Or playing Lucas and Henry. I like the Markhamich up front shot. I think that could be interesting. Stirling in a Markhamich... Sorry, Stirling in Markhamich up front was Stirling in behind. Give Coutinho a rest of the scheme. Well, it was all on the back. We're going to have to go out and shit a lot of girls, because like... Because the back is a nightmare right now. Well, unless we play Chan Central. Because if... I don't think it's that much of a nightmare. OK, I don't love the idea of Torre playing. At any stage, really. But, you know, if you're back three against Newcastle, is Chan with Torre and Lovren either side of him, I don't think it's the worst. No, I was just checking there. C-says actually scored 11 goals this season, right? Which is nearly double. It's very hard to talk about. It's 6, we've won. Jeez, what a safe decision. OK, the teams are back in. (LAUGHTER) I am sick of this waffling shite from you, like... So, let's get... Trev, your eyes have just gone, like, fucking, like... Can they, still? I don't think I lose a box. Let's get predictions. Get some predictions for the game then, as this corner comes in. Ohhh! Seriously, I just hold it there. I just hold it there. If we can see, do it now, Trev, it's your fault, right? Ohhh! Oh, you're trapped. They've hit the post. No, that's a safe... There's a nice ball out of the fence. That's a safe. OK, they hit the post. Steve, our predictions for the new chance of game. Trev, that's a terrible ball, we're starting. Trev, thanks for the live country, also. Uh, Dave, your predictions. Here's the post, don't hit the post. It's a safe one. Holy shit. It's a safe one. It's a safe one. It's a safe one, makes it think, is it? Yeah. Sorry, it descends me. Sorry, that's what they need. We're watching, you know, 46 minutes in the same. Oh, look, there's a service going down there. And he's got a lovely chance of the post. So, Joe Allen gets a whole... Absolutely nothing on the ball there as well. Jesse Johnson, looking at it and taking his head away. Ah, I have to go to one, Phil. What do you say, Dave? Against Newcastle at home. Yeah, do Newcastle, that's it. I think we'll win 10 won. 10 won. I hate... Newcastle annoy me. I hope you get relegated. I hope them and Villa get relegated. It's a good game for you. We've done 25 goals over two games, but you will run out of time for it. We've only got 15 more to score in the second half. All right, let's watch the second half, come on. Ever-fucking-cocks-y-neared balls. Piece of shit. Gotcha, go on! Hate it. Let's go, continue again. Yes! Fucking yes! One shot. He never take that cut off. Never take him off. Cozy was dynamic from the writing room here. Yeah, that's what you said. Yeah, it's a little ball from Henderson, though. It's the first snapshot. Every, you know, good. Most of... There's the corner. I know. No, you won the corner, I said. This is the big. One, two, three, four. Three, four. And she first, that's the evenest snapshot. You took way too long. Yeah, what do you say? Beautiful, eh? It's a great finish. All right, that's right, that's right. I think, and it's right across. And look, look, it was fun over the back post. Day on, day on. Big day on. All of that, eh? My man, he's the first one over to celebrate as well. Our new favorites. My man, day in. This is going to be really enthusiastic stuff, isn't it? We just won lads, I'm super happy. Let's go. Big. You, you went in. Jumpy-o-nies of the quarterfinals. These are fake-up, fake-up, fake-up, fake-up. Brilliant, Shane. Yeah. Thanks for that, Phil. Let's go. Try yourself, Phil, sing it anymore today. Okay, let's have a quick chat about the mastery of yourselves. It was great, wasn't it? Oh, it was such fun. That was terrible. It was a terrible, terrible game. It was a terrible, full of terrible performances. Yeah. Although, one man stood out today. Two. Two. You're a day on stood out for you. I thought one man stood out, many late. Many late was excellent, but loved one was excellent. Yeah, both. Love one was excellent. Love one didn't do anything wrong. I mean, I know that's not, it's not even that he just didn't do anything wrong. His clearance was so good, his passing was good. His command didn't, he was very good. Sacco does that, we're saying he's had a good game. Exactly. So you can't be different. For sure. The rest, though. Yeah, pretty much. Fucking shite. Well, let's stick with the little shreds of positive. What was it, how many, I counted it, maybe three to four, really, really good saves from makes us look. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I mean, and that's saying quite a lot. You know, we're thinking about him as, probably the outstanding performer. Probably a minor match. Probably a minor match. Well, the second save against Blackboard. The second save down to his left hand side. Yeah, under the start, under the post. That's a fantastic match. Johnson takes his head out of the way with Alan Troist. I had to get that in. To be fair, he saves in the very last minute, for our second last minute from their keeper. Yeah, like the turn in the box. And then his brave producer. Alan Gravey, I know I immediately was very good there. He didn't need his spiritual. But he didn't. But he didn't. And he was brave in his recovery. He was brave. He was brave. No, you were in the middle of the start. He came on a little bit of a rant about what was bad. What was bad? I won't, there was a lot bad. There was no point in ranting. I find a bar, no, no, no, but our final bar was a parlor. Showed out the whole game. Yeah. We were way too static up front, even with Sterling and storage up there. Yeah. And the crossing. The aim was crossing. And we had the storage out wide crossing to nobody in the box. It was like David Moyes was managing us for our long periods of like much. Brendan talked about, you know, having to be better and retain a possession and be, you know, calmer and look to create gaps. You don't create gaps if your front line is completely static. And it's not surprising that the goal comes from the only time, well, one of the few times that continue, gets in behind them and runs at them and takes a shot. He just decides not to pass it. I need to rest them at that stage and go for the shot themselves. You know, I don't know. A lot of those players need to learn how to step up a level against shit teams. Yeah. Let's be honest. That is blackboard. Blackboard reserves. They are a poor side. They're a poor side struggle against. But we struggle against that way. The way we struggle to be fair. I think we could blame blackboard, right? And it is an element that doesn't have any players being the ball or whatever. But we've got nobody in the team that's apart from Catina when he scores, that is being direct, that's going, I'm going to score. It's like everyone gets the ball and nobody's thinking, I'm the person that's going to score. They all want to be the guy that gives it to the guy that's going to score. So it's like, we've got a team full of assist makers. Sturridge is lethal, but he's being asked to do way too much in front by himself when nobody's supporting him. So you're watching us and you're going, this just needs exactly what he needed in the end. You know, quick bit of play, get a guy into the box and take a fucking shot. We're going into the box. I counted seven times without shooting, seven times in the 18 yard box. Now, not all of them are perfect angles and not all of them are, you know, gimmees in terms of shooting, but start shooting. You know, we're not going to score if we're going to start doing that. I just think we're two-pound dressed, two- That doesn't count the counts as time to go. Then the flanks usually through Sterling and then end up in a corner, which is ultimately used to sing for us. Sterling's gone from being himself. Yeah, but he's gone from being this really, a really direct player, last season, when he was playing with Suarez and Sturridge. They were all really direct. It was like they'd been given the instruction, go forward, go fast, one to touch, commit the defenders. And now he thinks he's crutino, where he needs six touches on the ball to beat the man three times, but he's not beaten the man. He's moving the man left, right, and the man's following him, but he's not actually beaten the man. The defenders, he's making it easy for the defender to do the perfect job, which is just shuffle track right, shuffle track left, and put it out for a corner. Yeah, the defenders happy to do that. You know what I mean? We're not the team we were last season in terms of scoring goals from set pieces either. So, you know, blackboard are probably going to fancy their chances defending set pieces against us all night long. Yeah. They switched off from one corner, and we scored. That's the reality of it. Without that switching. With a little piece of play that involved first-time coaches. With a little bit of play, first-time coaches. Another challenger. Absolutely. Well, you know what it is? It's the ball from Coutinho, which Henderson immediately plays into space. It's not taken two, three, four touches like we did. All the long long long long long long long long long long. It's just Coutinho's already on the, he gives them that ball. He's already told them, and again, he's on the wrong. Henderson, first-time ball between two defenders, and it leaves Coutinho in space. And funny enough, we got a clear shot on goal. But for a lot of really intelligent footballers that we have on the pitch, and a lot of good players going by today's point that are assist makers and the whole lot, the lack of collective intelligence that we've shown recently, and it's not just in tonight's game, where we seem to run out of ideas so quickly, and resort to looking to cross-bods into the box. The players that aren't set up to win crosses in the box, it's a lack of belief. Like if we should be looking, I had to say, we're going back to the Arsenal game, look at the way Arsenal move teams around, and look at move teams around. But when we were at our best, that's the way we were attacking. We go back to the front tree of L'Alana, Sterling, Coutinho, when we had that front tree up to the city game and included the city game, and all they did was move defenders around and create space and creates opportunities. That was horrifically standing. So is it as simple as the fact that Daniel Sturridge, maybe he's not offering us what he once did in terms of movement and identity? Well, look, and it's not, it's not, it's not blown on our own show, but it's not, it's not like that. But we've been saying week after week now, that Sturridge doesn't look like he's back to the level that he's at, and we'd be better at position to play. No, look, L'Alana is injured tonight, so you're not. We're going back to Dave's earlier point. Yeah, that game could have really done with L'Alana tonight, as we did it. You do have Margovich, look, look at the subs tonight. The users took seven fucking shots. I think seven minutes was when he made the first of the two. It was late when that... Yeah, and then we went down to their men, which was just ridiculous. Because bringing L'Alana is just... Especially in that, as it says, when they're lumping everything at us, the game is stretched, you need pace. Now, that's an ideal position to bring the looks of Margovich on, where he's going to fucking tear strips down that right hand side, and use the space, and even going back, the last 10 minutes, Sterling looks to take off in a couple of runs and get in behind him. He gets a chance there as well as it comes to the end. And that's purely where he comes from. But we got a load of quick players, and we play slow. It is frustrating to watch. But look, to bring it out to the gloom a little bit here, the most important thing tonight was the win. We just come off two really bad defeats. We don't go to extra time. No, we don't go to extra time. We win, we're through, it's a clean sheet with a patched up defense. It's a collective, all right, it's a small step to start, and you've got to acknowledge it for what it is. We probably couldn't expect them to go out tonight, and play the best that they've played with their sweeping football. But I do think the problems that we've had in the last four games, nothing's been addressed tonight. The changes system hasn't addressed it. No, and it hasn't created chances. We didn't even look solid there, but we're saying the same things again. Many of you don't think it matters. Whether we're playing Blackboard in there tonight, or whether we're playing Chelsea, you know, from our point of view. I'm not talking about what the opposition do to us. I'm talking about the inept ability to break through a team. I don't know what we used to do, it was just force our game. Yes, absolutely. And to play at a high tempo, quick passing. The inability, you know, that fact that they're taking those three, four, as Dave already pointed out, and we said the difference, we're Henderson taking that one touch, how it breaks their defensive lines, how they don't have time to set up. You know what I mean, if Henderson takes a touch there, or takes two touches there, they're left full, has time to talk in and close the role of Coutinho. Which happened all night. Yeah, but again, they look like a team, and they've looked like a team that's confidence has been shot a little bit. You know, they're not trying the difficult stuff. Yeah, I think, in particular, I think they asked, no, both of them, to be fair, but for different reasons. I think the United game was, they weren't expecting it. They were favourites going into the game, and I think it was a real punch to the gut. And then, going into the Arsenal game, the manner of the Arsenal defeat, I think, has actually taken a lot of people by surprise. And they look like a team tonight that just was short of confidence. I mean, and that's where you need someone with a bit of character. You need a Suarez, or you do need, dare I say it, Gera, 10 years ago, you need someone who's got the arrogance, you know, to go give me that fucking ball. And we do have a player like that. But, and this is what I am critical of the manager. I thought the move to back four was a good idea. I think the move to three in the midfield was a good idea. But putting Coutinho on the right hand side, or putting him on any wing, it's just stupid. He doesn't beat men by going past him. He always looks to come inside, and he's not getting the ball. So the one player we've got in the team who has that arrogance, who has that confidence to go, okay, give me the ball, I'm better than these guys. In the middle. We shunt him out that night. Ironically, he can go past people when he's in the middle. Not just that, but if he's in the middle, I think he gives the front to the chance to make the runs that they want to make, because he's going to play that ball. When he's out on the right, he doesn't have the ability to play that ball that he normally would, if he's centrally focused. Or if he's given the ability to run. Interestingly, if you go back and you think of some of the, the really good run that we put together last year. Coutinho wasn't playing, we had the diamond system. But when he, when he played Coutinho, he wasn't at the tip for us. He was just playing one of the sentiment fielders. And we've been talking about, Alan was anonymous in that game. Alan looked like one of five or six players out there that looked every player at the championship player. That was the level that a top championship saw out player. You know what I mean? A top championship player. And quote Coutinho have offered us more in the sentiment field than Alan in that game. Absolutely, you would have got him on the ball more. He would have been able to pull strings more. And going back to our point, he does things quicker. He doesn't do, he doesn't need to take a touch and then get it out. Because once we took a touch, going back to what the lads said, once we took a touch in the ball, it was a low on blackboard to then get themselves set up. When we played quick one touch and we only did it once or twice through the whole game, that's when we opened them up. And that's how, that's how you do, that's how you do shit teams. And I've forgotten, I know we talked to, just so people know, we've done the preview of the Newcastle game before the end of this game. So I was dropping Coutinho in the preview, I'm now putting them back. The joys of editing. But I think there hasn't been a game yet where, in two seasons, where Sturridge Coutinho and Sterling has worked as a front three. And even though, you know, if you're the right guy on your best team, those three players are in it, they're in that formation, right? But something's not working there. Something isn't working with those three players. And sometimes it doesn't work. Yeah. And I think, I think it's because they're all, they all want the ball and they all want three touches on it. And you actually need a player that doesn't want the ball, it's going to make the unselfish runs that's going to give it, give it to Coutinho and make the run. Whereas Sturridge gets the ball, he wants the ball, he wants to beat three players. Sterling thinks he's better than Coutinho, he gets the ball and tries to beat three players. You've got to have a hierarchy. And it worked last year because there was a hierarchy. Because Suarez got the ball when he wanted it. And if he didn't want it, he might give it to one of the other two and he'd be fucking happy to get it. But there's no hierarchy now. Well, it would be completely disingenuous to be coming out, being all happy clapping and saying, you know, we've won. That's on the map, you want. But no. That is the best we've ever! These issues are a little bit, it's not just about this game to be fair. This is seeping into a little bit of the arsenal of it as well. Which is where I'm going with because it would be disingenuous to do that. So what can we do in a kind of qualified positive way to look at? Okay, we have win, we're true to the next stage. But it's qualified, isn't it, by that performance? And by the fact that now we may have a lack of physical. Yeah, we probably will have a lack of cycle. And that's a disappointment. But like we were saying, I think, off air, I forget what's on here and off air. Everything is on there. But from that point of view, I think with Chan coming back in, you can play your three at the back if you want, Tory and Laverne, either side of it and Chan. So Laverne's a positive for this map. Absolutely, absolutely. The solidity of that performance. And delighted he had a good go. It was delighted to see him start here tonight. And as I said, I would have had him in against Arsenal ahead of Tory. Anyway, but as for Brendan's finding of goals. But he's going to set the team up as if he's going, how do I score four goals today? And I don't think he's doing that. No, he's going. How can I win one nil? Yeah, how can I make sure we don't concede? Because we don't have goals in us at the moment. It's kind of how he's approaching things. Or maybe that's the mentality that the players have now. Maybe how to fault that. Did you think we'd have that criticism of him? Did you ever think he'd be sitting here saying he's too defensive? Yeah, no, I don't think he is too defensive. He's not too defensive. It's a reaction. I think it's a reaction to from the players as well. That lack of belief has to come from that as well. But the truth is, if he set his team up like we're going to go and score four goals, we'd probably lose the match. Not tonight, but in general. You know what I mean? Because we're more than we lose. I think that's the problem that we've got, is that we don't believe we could do that. Our run that we set up wasn't based on a smash in teams. It was based on a solid foundation. No, I agree. And I don't want to throw that out. I don't want to throw the baby on the basketball. I'm just saying about that on selfish striker, because the truth is, OK, I'm using Huntalar as an example. He's not probably the right player for our system. But what I mean by that is he doesn't want the three and four touches. No, he just wants that final pass into the fucking box. Let me get my shot off. I genuinely think you add Jordan Abe and Markovitch into that side. You've got pace, you've got directness, you've got a fucking arrogance as well. And the ability to stretch teams. They can't be as compact because they've got to go out and meet somebody with that. You think of our midfield, Lucas, Henderson, and Alan, right? There isn't a bit of pace about them. None of them have got pace. Henderson's got a bit of acceleration if you give him enough of a head start. We need players who got Johnson's got no pace. You know, Lovren's got no pace, Ture's got no pace. We've got no pace in the bottom seven. No, whereas you play Jordan Abe, play Markovitch and Sterling and these guys get pace, get people worried about our pace. And then the smart footballers as well. And that's the difference. They're not just headless chickens. They're players with pace. And that's when it opens stuff up before continuing, for Sterling. But I suppose the other thing, it's immediate reaction after a match, which is Dera. It's probably the coindest thing I can say about that match. It wasn't end-to-end football. Most of the decent chances that we watched failed to a black-born side as a post-run, so that's the second half. The only bit of decent. The last 20 minutes you have a referee's epoxy referee indecision. Well, let's talk about the fucking referee. Because he was worse than Ricky Lambert. Yeah, but what I'm saying is, going back to your point, it was a positive. We're into the semi-fun of the FA Cup, right? The team have managed to get a win under a belt after suffering two back-to-back defeats going into a game that they need to win on Monday against Newcastle. And they've beaten a shit championship side, which is what Newcastle are. And also they've got a clean sheet as well after conceding six, should have been seven goals in the last two games. I mean, probably, we probably should have conceded six against Arsenal, to be fair. And we conceded three against your identity. Two against your identity should have been three, really. Yeah, well, let's push it forward to more general questions then. And some questions that have come in from listeners talking about looking at how things have got to move forward from here. We've won there from Fahad Shah, who says, "Has this system been worked out?" Which you guys have touched on a little bit there. Where do you apportion the most, I suppose, blame them for the loss that's to the manager or the players? It's something we've been kind of talking about there. Where would you go with that, Dave? But first of all, I think the concept that the system has been worked out is a little silly, because it's not like Brendan invented the system. Like, people have been playing a variation of three at the back for a long time. So every system, the problem is not that the system has been worked out, is that A, we have an anticipator or haven't learned from what Swansea did, so United did to Arsenal. We've just allowed the same mistakes to happen. So it's not the system. It's that what we should be saying to the likes of Moreno, and whoever's playing right wing back is you've got to tuck in. You've got to be aware of the high press. So I don't think the system's been worked out. The reality is, no matter what system we play, tactics and systems have, weaknesses and strengths. In terms of who's responsible, well, of course, at the end of the day, everything comes down to the manager, right? We've talked about similar selection decisions that he've made, which are probably not the right selection decisions. The likes are moving Henderson out to the middle, as an example. Playing Stern and as a right wing back, he does seem to have fallen back in to having these sacred horses as Phil Colson, you know? I mean, Joe Ireland looks like he needs a month off, never mind a game off, you know? I don't understand how Lucas has come straight back in without any kind of, you know, warm up or anything like that. And Stern and needs the rest and continued needs the rest. I mean, I think mixing up the front three a little bit and dropping some of those players and bringing in younger, hungry players perhaps wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. So the manager has to take the responsibility. Personally, I wouldn't move away from three at the back. I think it's our best system. We just have to tweak it slightly. For the people we have, if you're playing them in the right position, we just got to tweak it slightly to get the best out of the people there. Steve, a specific one for you comes in from our low camp, and he's wondering if we sell Stern and keep Rogers, will it be just for his ability to bring through young talent and then to sell them on for profit? In other words, he's saying do FSD care about winning or selling? Yeah, I know what he's saying there. I think if we sell Sterling, it's because his camp have pushed the move. Let's be honest. We're not out there looking for a buyer for Rahim Sterling at the moment. I fail to believe that we are. If he moves, it's because it's pushed Allah Suarez last summer. If he goes, then I think it's harsh on Rogers to think that he's just there to bring through young players. I think he's done an excellent job in bloating and changing the development of a lot of the young players. Like we have to recall the lack of young players coming through before Rogers was there. I think who was probably the last half-decent youngster that was brought through under Benitez? Because nobody came through under Hobson. I also know. Nobody came through under Daglish. So what I'm saying is you have to look at the players that have come through in that time. Okay, he's bought Coutinho, but he's gone out and got him at a young age and then developed them from a raw talent that enter to what he is now. He gave Rahim his debut, I believe, right? He may have, but here's the question I suppose I'd ask. Would Rahim Sterling be the player he is now if he'd stayed under the tutelage of Kenny Daglish with that very static 442 old English, you know, 1990 style football? I don't know if he would. You know, I think it comes down to the style of coaching he's getting. The likes of Jordan Knibb, the likes of the other youngsters that are coming through. I think that comes down to Rogers way of developing players. So that's absolutely fair. But also the question, I mean, I understand the question, but it's a little bit, assuming that the two things are mutually exclusive. The reason Sterling is developed and worth what he's worth is because he's been part, he's been a good player in a successful team. So you bring enough of those players through, the team has to be successful, has to win things for those players to make money. Nobody's going to Burnley and going to pay 50 million for their best 20 year old winger that they have, you know. Sterling is worth the money, he's worth because he was part of a successful side. So the two go hand in hand. So I don't think that, you know, the idea that keeping Rogers because he'll bring young players through to sell on. Well, how is he going to sell them on if he's not, if they're not part of a successful side? It's very good. I think most good coaches in world football who aren't at one of the top 5 or 6 money sides around will have a record of bringing true gold, young talent, because that's where they have to. That's what they have to do. Listen, everyone other than, what, 5 clubs or a sailing club? That's in world football, you look at the 5 clubs. You look at, you look at what, Dortmund have done. They just keep bringing true young players and then they sell them on. Look at Frank de Borre at Ajax, he's had to bring true young players and it has to keep replenishing it year after year in terms of this. Forever being a fucking player. And that's what they do. Come very bad. I'd like to come with it. Yeah. I mean, they've sold their best striker four seasons in a row. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they'll just bring another player. They'll just bring another player. It's perfect, of course, as I said. The huge difference with Madrid. And to be fair to them, they've done it the last few years. They've made 50 million on an amazing striker or 40 million on an amazing striker. They spend over half of that buying the next one. You know what I mean? They don't go like we did looking for a fucking 5 million, you get 65 for Suarez and blow 15 of it on Balotelli. But let's be honest about it. We spent 20 plus million, 20 million plus on three or four players. I don't give a shine. I'm not getting into those individual players. You know what I'm saying? We reinvested the money. We didn't reinvested in what we're talking about. Like, you could have saw him say Griesman, who went to Atlético. We had Champions League football. We were straight into the Champions League. We could have easily challenged for Griesman, who was one of the best young players in the world at this moment in time. And brought him in instead of one of the players that we looked at this one. Yeah, certainly. But what I'm saying is we didn't replace somebody of the ilk of Luis Suarez, the score of the goals. And it's the thing that some of us complained about at the very start of the season. Another said, "Oh, that'll be spread out. We'll spend the money and we'll spread it out and we'll get 12, 15 goals from three players." Or what if I said that? That's crazy people. Crazy people. But this was my big worry at the start of the season, was that we wouldn't have a 20 goal of season striker because fucking... No, no. ...surrage is made from soggy crisps, you know what I mean? But the trust of the argument is can Rogers develop these players? No, Rogers can potentially develop players always. Right, and that's not up for argument. The question is, though, can he identify or can the committee or whoever the fuck it is, can they identify the role players to develop? I think they can identify young players. The problem comes when they're trying to buy established players. I don't think you can really argue with Khan, Markovich, Saqo. No. Do you know what I mean? I mean, I think they're getting bad. But like Sterling was saying. The part is taking Rogers out of it. But Sterling again, we signed him when he's 15 and 16. Eib, we signed when he's 17. You know what I mean? We're signing... They're the signings that we're talking about him developing, true. We need to be able to sign the 19, 20-year-old Eib and Sterling to supplement the Eibs and Sterling's that we're bringing, true. And that's where we let ourselves down. We have to appreciate Rogers, and that's when I'm going back to my very first point. We were signing the Eibs and the Sterlings of the 15 and 16-year-old under Rafa, and they were never getting through. They were never getting that opportunity. So you have to go back nearly before Benita, even to Julia, you look who came through, Gerard came through, you know what I mean? But literally, those managers were so sad in their ways, and so unwilling to trust, you know, young players. And you can't do it now. If you want to do what we're doing, which is not being able to compete with the super money clubs, you have to be able to identify young talent and bring them true. And also be smart with Boeing. If you're going to boy established players or older players, you need to be able to boy effective players who are potentially just coming off the top of the peak your contract. In reality, as people are arguing over the FSG philosophy, the philosophy is the right one. The strategy is the right one. The execution might be poor. We might be doing it wrong in certain areas, although I'd argue that we're better than people think. But there is no other way to do it. I mean, I know one of the other questions that came through was, you know, what if a Chinese billionaire came in and bought us? Would we all like to see that? People wouldn't make a difference. You can't do anything. FFP is locked in. You can't do anything. You can't just come in and put 200 million into the team. The time for that to happen was when FSG bought it. It's done. We're done. We needed the fucking shake from our city to ours. The only way you do that is you knock yourself out of Europe for two years. Is that going to skip it? I'll pump a billion into the fucking club. So that when you come back and you meet the FFP rules, that you've got money all over the shop. But then you're going to affect your commercial revenues if you're not in European clubs. Even European clubs. Look at the money in the Europa League. Yeah, but that's where you've got to be in the Air. They're going into a pair of the Champions League next season. You don't have to share? Yeah, so you can't even sniff. It's 66% of what they're getting in the Champions League is going into Europa League next year. You cannot sniff at Europe anymore. No, not with that. The FA Cup and the League Cup are dead competitions for clubs. Who are at the top end? The only other side of it is when we win the FA Cup. Or even go to the final against Arsenal. Then you're in the Europa. Whether we, whether Spurs, Pippos or whatever. Yeah, Chelsea have won the League Cup as well. So that's another place that's going to open up there. That's gone to the League. Oh, go to the League. Go to the 6th. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, last one of these then, Phil, for you and the more earnest ones before we move on to the slightly less earnest ones. This is from our mate, the music producer, local Stigmatic. He's wondering, who do you think has underperformed the most this season? Has it been the manager, the players? Or controversially, he puts in the fans? What's your take on that? I think it's the podcasts to be honest. The podcast to be an atrocious. I think the best thing would be if all podcasts just shut down. I think we all need to go on Periscope now. Periscope is the future. Periscope is the future. Unmute. We've been hoping that we're actually saying. We have proven to articulate now. This is the new future. That sideways broadcast is on mute. Oh, yeah, landscape on mute is my question. The Liverpool podcast is the media version of the housing bubble, right? Supply has gone so far past demand that there is just an issue now. We all wrote a crystal wave last year when we were like, we were going to win the league and everyone was like, everyone wants to listen to Liverpool. And now we're all talking bollocks. There's talk of a government quangal being set up to manage the podcast. And I'd say there's a man on the bass version of Liverpool podcast. We'll all be in a podbank. What's going to happen now is the club is just going to do their own podcast. And then, you know, every blow, every other way. The Rodgers, Pascal playing the greatest hits, you know. It's going to be a great podcast. We'll be seeing like the bankers now. Yeah, exact pod wankers. Sorry, I'll fuck it. And there he is, honest fucking pod. And I can't afford a pint. And he's still on the fucking pod talk. I know they're shy. You don't have to tell me they're shy. I've just seen him. I've seen him. What the fuck you don't tell me? Well, I've just seen with my own fucking two eyes. Fucking well for you when it's sitting in that room, talking about Liverpool. We're going to fucking watch it. We're going to watch this shape. Where can I talk about it? Yeah. Podcasts. Nobody's listening to me. And nobody is listening to me. I am not listening to you. It's the podcast that I've been telling. Podcast wankers. It's essentially what we're all about. Essentially, yeah, it's definitely the players. I'm hoping to really help you with that really serious answer. Phil, I want to talk to you one thing before we go on to the questions from listeners. Something you mentioned earlier on, I just want to mention that throughout really quickly. You've just heard good kids, means we perform well. Yeah. You're based on that a lot. The Harvard Effect is on my brain. The Harvard Effect is completely subjective. Because it's obviously what kids you think are good. So, go on. Throw it out there. It's simple. Last year is a good, strong home kit. Yeah. Tends to give good, strong performance in the league. And this current borough version is shit. Shit. Absolutely. Like a current one. When I saw that jersey came out, I went boring. You did? But no, you did say it. I said, the thing that's against it, oh, in the league, all right? Because the Istanbul jersey is awful. I quite like that. No, anything Reebok did is shit. So, if you're saying this league campaign, I'd give you that. Do you remember the Reebok Champions League campaign jersey? It was beautiful. It had a really skinny white neck around it. It was gold on it. There was white beading around the arm. Not with the gold, Carlsberg. The gold on. Yeah. Stevie scored a hat trick in season after this family. No, no, there was this. It was gold trim on the red kit. And then there was a lovely yellow one, a white kit as well. Oh, what? The yellow one was mine. 2006, where we got the final again. Yeah, but that was out of us. That was out of us. 2006, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was the Reebok hit. Actually, I think I'm going to even be here last time. But what about the point I made to you earlier on, about the 2001 season where we won the treble? That was quite a borer kit. Actually, it was a point of this, a point of this. We sold our soul for commercial revenue. Yeah, for pure collaboration. Shit kits now, haven't we? Like, we are locked into absolute shit. I thought this season was rock. The whole kit was bad this season. I like the other two of this season. I think, like, I'm looking at the yellow kit, I could have lived, had to not put the mano bra across the top. And then there's the dentist, the menace kit. I can't deal with that dentist, the menace kit. Yeah, you're going to be saying that. The back of the dentist, the menace kit, you take yourself. The menace is your brain, doesn't it? That's going to be all right. [LAUGHTER] Yeah, menace is your brain. I think it's all right. And it's like, it's like a 1980s ad for a fucking South Australian or something. Yeah. Where the lions are coming together slowly. You know what the worst thing about a kit like that is? When you see other teams, lovely kits. And you're going, look at this. Here's what you could have had. But I don't think anyone has nice kits these days. Everyone's got a mano. Our new one. Our report and new one. [INTERPOSING VOICES] Check them out. I'm not bad at all. Hang on. Hang on. That's the transcript of our teams. That's like a magic eye. [LAUGHTER] So as you get near the players, you go, what the fuck is that? And they're going by it. Are they squares on that stripe? It's actually a really, really interesting. I will say one thing. I will say one thing. Looking at that case, right? I think up close, it's going to look fucking gross, right? But I think from the distance, when you're looking at a television, which was where any man over the age of 16 should be watching the from, right? Just either from the stand, they shouldn't be wearing it. They should be watching it from the stand or from the fucking wherever they're watching it from, right? But I think that will look fine on the pitch. It looks very simple. There's a simple neck on it. It's back to red and no stupid white show itself. I think this will work. You're hoping it's going to work. I think it's going to work for me. We should make a kit out of the dress. You know that online thing, the dress where people can tell what color it was? Yeah. That will confuse the dress. Scared of stripes. Scared of stripes. Scared of stripes. Scared of stripes. We're going, it's fucking blue and gray. I'm telling you no. Right. Let's go to a few more of these shorter ones. The white kit looks good. The white kit doesn't look great. Yeah. Those looks really nice. The white one. The white one, yeah. I'll have none of these. They're all fucking wrong. Right. Not buying one, though. You'd look like a bit like Buradley, if you wore that white thing. When they were like, you know? Buradley. Really? Yeah. Are you coming at me with the bald thing? Well, you know what I mean? With the white shirt on as well, I like it. To be fair, you don't have hair. No, no. It's not an unfair showed form. Is it a shot by a sink? You're a bald. Is it a shot for you that I've-- Not right now, yes. I don't look anything like-- What's your hair like when it grows? What? What's your hair like when it grows? It's fucking gorgeous, man. Isn't it? Yeah, it's gorgeous. Genuinely, like, genuinely gorgeous. You have genuinely gorgeous hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a handsome actor. Loserous locks. Would you get a transplant for "Let's See"? What would I need to transplant? Just let it grow. Well, let me talk about that. I'll try to fucking middle you. It's bald in the top. That's like a grass marriage that's had cars driving through it too often. It's Amazon, like, you're going to get moisturised. And I'll take the ant if you're pinched. I have some crayon of all our respective heads going on. Do you want to tip down the crayon? Dave, you're in trouble, fella. Dave, you're in trouble. You've got your hand over us. So I can't see. I'm fucking brown. Yeah, look at that. Look at that. Myself and Steve are all right. I think Dave should probably be a bit quiet a bit more. He's going to be hatching up. He's adopting the early comb over. First thing-- He's going for a full stroke. First of all, the questions. Full trunk. First of the questions from our listeners that the short variety comes from-- Si. He's called himself "confused identity" on Twitter. And he's wondering in a very violent fashion, how far could you kick a cock or a spaniel? I think we should take this on its merits. And take it on its merits down there. Yeah, and not as opposed to a clearly violent act against an animal. OK, so let's take the DSPCA out of this. Yes, let's do that. How far would you kick a cock or a spaniel? No, not how far would you, how far could you, could you? It's a physical thing, Michael. Yeah, it depends on how he's sitting as well. If he's going to kick him, if he's on all fours-- If he's teed up for you, that's what he's saying. If he's on all fours and you kick him, square in the belly from the side, he's not going to go as far out. You want him to catch him from behind? You want to catch him from behind, just as he's decided to get him up all the time. You catch him there and you'll get some proper fucking distance on him, because not only that, he'll get an almighty sting in the arse, which I'll see him spring off the ground. My hopes for this becoming less cruel to animals. You're torn from a cock or a spaniel to a spring or a spaniel? Oh, very good, I was waiting to get that one in. Yeah, you kind of catch him on half of all of this. Yeah, like he'd be kind of almost in the air, not quite. And he'd catch him on half of all of it. But like a drop goal. Personally, I wouldn't kick a cock or a spaniel. Neither would I, I think it's a disgrace. I would just like to point out the Trev forces to answer that question. Yeah, I didn't. Why Trev, how far can you kick it off? What's wrong with you? I would never do that. What's wrong with you? I would never do that. I would never do that. How far could you kick a poor innocent defenseless cock? Did you have the correct answer to this? I would never do it. So up your fucking hoop. Oh, so now they're shaking on his merits. The question wasn't the way I would you kick him. So I wouldn't fucking do it. So what happened there? You are going to take it for a ride. Let's take it on to earth. I wouldn't fucking do it. Oh, yeah. I wonder. Oh, fuck off. You're a jaxi. Fuck off. You used to do that for a phone back in the 1860s. What? Kick in the gun. You said three. You said three. Lee is wondering. We're moving on. We're moving on. What tastes better? Triangle or square sandwiches? I told you about this earlier on. Go on. And it's a different approach you take to both, obviously. You know, triangular sandwiches, you kind of go in sometimes for the triangle bit. And then you just said, "Ah, there's probably not enough there for two bites. So you stuff the rest of it all in and one go." The full triangle. Sorry. No, no, no, no. What's the triangle bit of a triangle? No. I mean, the tip. Yeah, I suppose. Yeah, I know why you're doing this. But it isn't an equilateral triangle. Oh, right. So my sausages triangle. It would be, I'm trying to think now, my. So what you're saying is, first of all, you put the tip in and then you force the rest of it in. Always try. Okay. You are going down so it's wrong. I'm just trying to be clear. Just for a second. Just for a second. Just for a second. Just for a second. Just for a second. Just a boy out here. That's all I'm saying. I'm just trying to be clear. I'm just trying to be clear. I always put the tip in first. I think it's the gentleman who thinks it is. Now back to sandwich. Just for a second. Did we ever leave sandwiches? I did. Then explain it to you. Back to sandwiches. Back to sandwiches. Yeah. Best way to eat a sandwich is. Full round of bread. Don't even slice the fucker in half. Grab it with two hands and get on in there. Here's the problem though. Here's the problem. You buy a pre-packed sandwich. Who buys pre-packed sandwiches? You don't have a choice. But who buys pre-packed sandwiches? You mean if you buy a triangular sandwich in a triangular box? Well, clearly you don't have a choice. No, but clearly the question implies that you're making it. So, you know, if you make a sandwich and it's a triangular square, which one tastes better? What he's asking really is, if you buy the toasty loaf, do you go corner to corner or through the middle of the bread? That's really what he's asking here. He just didn't ask it. As I show you the 80s, I'm going to wreck his head. Right? Because he used to throw them in a sandwich maker and all sandwich makers made them a triangular. And I can guarantee you a sandwich maker makes a nicer sandwich than you make. A Breville toasty maker. Yep. Slap it down in the trailer. On the outside. And you have... That's not a sandwich maker. What? That's a toasty. That's in a toasted, right? A toasted sandwich maker. Yeah, but you have to make the sandwich before you put it in the machine, right? It doesn't make sandwiches. And then of course it only stores the sandwich. Yeah, it makes toasted sandwiches. It's not sandwiches. But it makes... It's a sandwich, isn't it? It's a former fucking sandwich. It actually says... You make the sandwich... And then it comes into the sandwich. And look, it's in the fucking toilet. It's right here. So, an 80s toasted sandwich. Yeah, it's how I do it. And we bought one. We actually bought a shitty toasty maker like that for our office. And still, there's something very, very nice about going over and getting some fucking carol's ham. No pun or a dot plug. That's the second brand you've mentioned in two lines. Well, what can I say? He's having a brand of toasty maker with the carol's ham with the Coleman. What's that? Like, how much do you possibly mean washed down by a nice sprite? [LAUGHTER] Send any free samples to the steve or... Not tripper shots. [LAUGHTER] Okay, from the sublime triangle sandwich to the more ridiculous one from Rory here. Rory wonders... Maybe this is obvious. I don't know. What color is a fart? Rory wonders. There's a question for you. Everyone's going to say, "Bro, right now." No, I don't think it's brown. It's kind of moustetty. Well, it was a wheelhouse, bro. Well, it's going to take some particles out there with it. [LAUGHTER] That's a sharp one. No, everyone has particles. Don't confuse yourself. Well, I remember watching an interview with James Dyson on a talk show years ago, and he was explaining, right? His hand dryers, you know, they did as well. Yeah, he did as well. And he was saying, the reason that it's cold air has set a warm air is that in any toilet, there are all these particles of shit floating around. And warm air basically just heats it up and multiplies the bacteria. So even though you're drying your hand in warm air, it's just blowing shit on your hand. Which is why you use this cold air, and it kind of scrapes all the water and the shit off your hand. I never use hand dryers. I never use hand dryers. When you take your hands out, you put them back at the tissue and they dry my hands with tissue. But it's not warm, so the shit part of this ever risen up. It's just bad that you go in, you wash your hands on the jacks, right? You dry them with your shitty air. And then you tinker clean. Well, you just go over and you suck your thumb. Open the handle from the contours just wiped as ours, and not wash this out. Yeah. You know what I mean? He's just opened the door before you. So just not upset. You know what you do? You get a nice bowl of warm water and lemon when you get back to the surface. And you give those little fingers. I've done a little rinse and you get a napkin, give them an old. Right here. Next question. And then you ask the server to remove the napkin. Right. This is from Scott. And Scott's taken the piss out of me because I put up a picture on my grass after I caught him. He says, "If you could build a lighting in Trev's garden, what would you build?" You can make it your own garden. If you could build a lighting in your garden. Oh, no. It's only fine if it's in your own garden. Oh, what would you build in my fucking garden? I think that's for quicker. What would you do? The HQ of the Man United supporters club. That's just cruel, man. Build a house, man, because you keep showing those pictures of your garden. I don't want to come and see the house. Exactly. Yeah. I told you I was living to a home, so you can have that tent of yours. What part of my living would carry? You don't understand. I would build a wig shop. I'd build a wig shop into your study. Oh, yeah. So I could finally see what this study looks like. Have you taken a picture? Yeah, no. I'd build a wig shop. A wig shop. So you can have a different look every day, chef. Well, you can feel free to call around. I'll give you one. You can get one. I have to say. The deal with it. Do you have a ride? Do you have a ride on more? Supermarket. I don't ride on more. That's the whole... Is it a big enough garden? That's the reason I would take a photograph. How big is your thing? I've spent three hours coding. How big? Three hours to cut your grass. Yeah. Why don't you get a ride on more? I could do the cause of four minutes. Four minutes. Four minutes are expensive. The cost more than my first car. Rent one, so it can fuck off. Why don't you just get a few ponies or cows or something like that? Yeah. Couple of goats. No, you're talking. And you do live in the country. You clearly have animals in your house. You clearly have animals in your house. How many animals do you have in your house? And I don't want domestic animals to cut their spaniels. No, no. How many animals do you know how to have their own bedroom? That's my question. Don't count just the people that come in and laugh. Don't count the ones that are in their house. Don't count the transient animals. Don't count the day animals. Don't count the day animals. It's transient animals. The actual permanent live their animals. Domestic animals. They're talking fucking dogs and cats. This is a country guy. How many animals do you have? It's really good. You fellas are really on fire tonight. How many sheep have a bedroom in your house? Seriously. Do pigs live in your front row? Do they sleep by the fire? The next question. You get so fucking tattooed in the next question. I'm not tattooed. I'm not tattooed. It's like me because I'm a culture. That's probably the best impression you've ever done. That wasn't you. That wasn't you. That wasn't you where you are. It's not been you. That wasn't you where you are. It's not been you. That wasn't you. That wasn't you where you are. It's not been you where you are. It's not been you where you are. It's not been you where you are. It's not been you where you are. It's not been you where you are. It's not been you where you are. It's not been you where you are. It's not been you where you are. It's not been you where you are. It's not been you where you are. It's not been you. your life in the world of one film. Which film would be stable? I think Forrest Gump. Okay, why is that? Just, he has a very exciting life, you know, and if you think about it, he does a lot of different things and goes along with it. You're not going to be Forrest Gump, you just live in a world where this is like basically what it is in America. Well, it wasn't basically America, it was based in Vietnam, it was based in America. He went abroad on his ping pong tours, you know what I mean? He's been to many places, you've underestimated what he was based in America. But you aren't going to be Forrest Gump in the world. It's in the world. Yeah, yeah. Oh, then fuck it. What's that one? Elysium. There you go. Elysium. I want to go where they fucking jump into the machines and they go make me better. That's uncanny. It does exactly like that. That's perfect. Can I have a guess what one you picked? No, you can't. You can wait for your guess. Imagine stitching me up for the entire question. I'd then steal my punchline. You absolute bulldog. Fucking hell. Fucking hell. Just finished the fucking phone already.

He didn't perfect for this year. Perfect for this quote. Dean Natale sounded like an official. He sounded in any fucking way. That let me know. I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying. He's out of contract. Is he out of contract? Is he out of contract? He's out of contract. Well, he's already on record saying that if he was going to go, how do you what? Left the old nays of the only club he would have known to go to was Liverpool. Which means that he wants to go home. So I find 400 the GPS in his jag is set to focus. I swear to God, I'd buy no more of four players this summer. I had to skip the goalkeeper. I don't think, I don't think Minula needs to be replaced. I think we need a number two. We need a fucking Brad Friedale three years ago. That's what we need to be looking at. That level of senior. Brad Friedale. Sorry. Friedale. Whatever you want. What's common with him? What the fuck is that? I don't know where that came from. Who will follow some takeaway? Who is the Brad Friedale? Who do you get? Brad Friedale is Brad Friedale. He's not. Brad Chek. If you wanted so many like Brad Friedale wanted to go and play firstly in football. If you wanted so many like Brad Friedale, you'd have Brad Guzan because his name is Brad and he's bald and he's American. Yeah, lots of similarities. You're always on man. If we were looking for a Brad, he's one of the best options out there for gold. He's definitely one of the best Brad's gold. We have a Brad at the moment, but this will be a Brad upgrade. This will be a Brad upgrade. If you wanted it with a Brad move. Brad medicine? Brad medicine is what I need. Breaking Brad. Breaking Brad. When he has a bad run of form? A Brad run of form? I don't know if we should could do that. I'm a Brad run of form. That's when Minile has a bad run of form. It should be known as a Brad run of form. Your faller. What's the baller gag about? I didn't get it. That's hanging out. What's the baller gag about? That's the baller gag. I'm sorry. That's what I said. That's what I'm going to believe in me. I'm going back to what's happening. I'm fucking assholes. I'm Ian Bowyer. Lee Bowyer. No, he played for Leeds. Ian Bowyer used to play but was this his song? He used to sing words. This is his song. Did he not play like in Frank Clark's time? It's in Lee Bowyer, Gary Bowyer. Ian Bowyer. I'm looking at him. Ian Bowyer, who used to play. Who's the one that used to play for Lee Bowyer? No, for nothing in forest. Ian Bowyer is his father, which is what I would say. Is his member not Ian Bowyer. He said that Ian Bowyer used to play with forest in the 70s. Ian Bowyer in the 70s. So who's Lee Bowyer's dad? Yeah, because this Gary's born in 71. What was he? Is his uncle? Who's Gary Bowyer? Lee Bowyer's dad. I think I might be actually dying. How are they related to the baller? Yeah, but who's the baller? It's just us. Kevin, friend, Lee, Zoe. Kevin, Lee, Zoe, and goes, eh. How is that that advantage? Oh, it's just that's that's that's that's that's that's that's stand on his leg and everything. Wait, no, he gets it. No, he felt it in a minute. No, no, no. There, there, there. Looking clear at the ball. It's the same. This is the same comfort smashed for Sterling in the face. Yeah, 15. How is that? No, no, what he says is he's a bit clumsy. Don't worry about it. Fucking, as where Johnson does well makes absolutely no contact with the ball. Doesn't in any way stop the run of the man. No, he gets a shot off on the keeper. So he's working for Johnson. It's very good. What? What? It's really bad. It's over here tonight. I hate you to be that level of freak. For the ones finding new ways to ensure the job always gets done.
