00:00I think it's important that we do mention

00:03the boss Arne Schlott

00:04obviously come in

00:05he won that Premier League title

00:06in his debut year

00:07how excited are you for his second season

00:10a season where

00:11you're going to mention there

00:13a bit of development

00:14through his team

00:15and if you look at the squad

00:17it's a pretty incredible squad

00:19to go and defend a title with

00:21how do you see it playing out

00:23where do you see his priorities lying

00:24and who do you even see

00:26maybe developing the most over him

00:28obviously

00:28Florian Vert has said

00:30he's really sort of happy with the freedom

00:32that Schlott's going to be

00:34sort of giving him as well

00:35so it's very interesting

00:37going into this new campaign

00:38Yeah it is

00:39I think

00:42what Arne Schlott did in this first year

00:44surprised a lot of people

00:45there's no doubt about that

00:47winning the title

00:48in the manner they did

00:49how good Liverpool were

00:50for six, seven months

00:52maybe they did tail off a little bit

00:53at the end

00:54but that was probably just

00:55a lack of squad depth

00:56from Schlott

00:57not fully trusting

00:59everyone in his squad

01:00and probably players

01:02got a little bit tired

01:03but he made a real

01:05market impression

01:06in his first year

01:07and it's interesting

01:08because in his second season

01:10at Firenose

01:11when he was in charge there

01:12he had a real squad overhaul

01:13Firenose went and won

01:16the title that season

01:17so it can be done

01:18we've seen him develop players

01:22already

01:22putting Ryan Gravenberg

01:24in number six

01:25which has been

01:26really, really shrewd

01:28how he's maximised

01:30Mo Salah's potential

01:32in terms of goal scoring

01:33what else is next

01:35from Arne Schlott

01:36how does he

01:37I've just been discussing

01:39how does he get that

01:40mix of

01:41an attack and force

01:42and being

01:43solid defensively

01:44how does he change

01:47the wing-back system

01:48you know

01:49Trent Alexander-Arnold

01:50played completely

01:51differently to

01:52Jeremy Fringpong

01:53Connor Bradley

01:54so how will

01:55Liverpool adapt to that

01:57how will he

01:58how will he play

01:59having a proper

02:00striker in

02:01TK

02:01maybe

02:02Alexander-Izach

02:03rather

02:03a false nine

02:05a lot of

02:06a lot of things

02:07that Liverpool fans

02:08will be excited for

02:09I mean the players

02:09you look at maybe

02:10who can he develop now

02:12who can

02:13who can really push on

02:14in terms of the squad

02:15obviously

02:15new signs

02:16like TK

02:17Fringpong

02:18how does he go

02:19to the next level

02:20Milos Kierkez as well

02:21who has a really good season

02:22at Bournemouth

02:24and then how does he

02:24maybe develop

02:25some of the younger players

02:26who are coming through

02:27I mean

02:27Rio Encomola

02:28has been

02:29a sensation

02:30during pre-season

02:3116 years old

02:33how does he

02:35get that right

02:36in terms of his development

02:37because

02:38there's no doubt

02:39he looks like a talent

02:40who could

02:41maybe

02:41you know

02:42even play in the Premier League

02:43at this point

02:44but

02:44how does he ensure

02:46that his development

02:48is right

02:48Trey Nione

02:50is another one

02:51the midfield

02:53who was signed

02:54from Leicester

02:55a couple of years ago

02:56so there are some things

02:57for Sot to answer

02:59obviously

02:59keep on developing

03:00some players

03:01where does he play

03:02Dominic Sabotelay

03:03is he

03:03going to play

03:04in one of the deeper roles

03:06Curtis Jones as well

03:07how does he carry on

03:08on his trajectory

03:10with Wirt coming in as well

03:13will he push

03:14a little bit

03:15further down

03:16the Peshan order

03:16so

03:17look they're all

03:18good dilemmas

03:19there's lots to have

03:20in terms of his squads

03:21but

03:21yeah I think

03:22fans are

03:23really looking forward

03:25to seeing

03:25what he can deliver

03:26because Liverpool

03:28haven't defended

03:29a title

03:30I think since

03:311984

03:32it will be

03:34they've obviously

03:35won titles after that

03:36but never defended it

03:37and the last time

03:38he defended the title

03:39in 2020

03:40was really disappointing

03:43so

03:45Sot can

03:46look he's already

03:48on a banner

03:49in the coffer

03:49that's all

03:50the famous managers

03:51he's been added to it

03:53now

03:53and a slot

03:53some fans

03:55maybe think

03:56it's a little bit early

03:56to have done that

03:58after one year

03:59but

04:00if he went and won

04:01the title

04:02or a Champions League

04:03in the second season

04:04I don't think

04:04anyone's had any qualms

04:05he'd be deserving

04:07to be adoring

04:08that banner

04:09you
