00:00Emile, we've come to the end of an era at Liverpool with both Mo Salah and Andy Robbo going as
00:07well, which still seems as sprightly this year. Let's start with Mo. What is Mo to Liverpool for?
00:17A legend. Mo's a legend at Liverpool. Mo is goals, Mo is excitement, Mo is everything of the above. For
00:28someone who could give you 30-plus goal contributions a season, that's not normal. Won't be replaced, it would just
00:38have to be different because he's such a legend and gave us so much pleasure watching him.
00:44Exactly. And then we move to Andy Robertson. Signed for, I think we've done it, I think Liverpool signed for
00:50actually half the price, because if you remember Kevin Stewart went to Hull. So he was 8 million, it ended
00:56up that he cost 4 million. Now that is an investment.
01:02Considering we've spent 500 this year, 400 million this year and he's given us what he's given us, he's been
01:08fantastic again. Someone who redefined the way that full-backs are looked at as well, overlapping, underlapping this, that up
01:16and down, just making you tired watching him. He's just phenomenal.
01:21Exactly. So we then move on. Liverpool have had a very difficult season, by their standards. There's a lot of
01:31support and dissatisfaction maybe with the manager. Certain circumstances are beyond his control. What have you made for Liverpool and
01:39what do you make of will Arnie Slott be there next year?
01:42Arnie Slott will be there next year. We're not a club that just hives and fires on emotions. It's been
01:51a difficult watch, especially after the season that we had that we won the league.
01:55And we didn't know what to expect. And it was pretty much the same as Klopp just changed a few,
02:06tweaked a few bits. In-game changes were fantastic.
02:11And then this season seems like we've bought some players that suit the way that he actually wants to play,
02:16which is more methodical, more slower. It's more smaller passes.
02:25And we've just been so used to rock and roll football that it doesn't suit who we are. So he's
02:36got to really figure out what he actually wants for next season because the fans are getting a little bit
02:43disgruntled, which you can understand when you've had this for so long and then all of a sudden it's just
02:48looking totally different. But he'll definitely be there next season.
02:56Challenging. Challenging. Challenging for the, exactly what we were supposed to do this season, which is challenging for the Premier
03:01League, which is putting pressure on your cities, putting pressure on your arsenals.
03:06Make it a three or four, three or a four way title battle. Not falling off.
