I think now this is a club and a fan base that has been conditioned for success, for winning.

And I think there will be patience this season.

If then he was to get into a second season and Liverpool were playing great stuff but finishing fourth, would people in two years' time still take that?

I don't think they would.

Yeah, and listen, me saying that about the fan base and expectations, that's not me saying that fans shouldn't have those expectations, like you say.

I think Liverpool market themselves as a super club, as one of the top four clubs in world football, as the top club in England.

So I think it's fine and it's fair to have those expectations, but I think...

If Arneslott hadn't won the league the year before, would the expectations have been so high coming into the season?

No, they wouldn't have been.

And yeah, this season still wouldn't have been good enough.

But I think there's added pressure when you win the league, when you win titles.

And so I think, I'm not saying that Arreola would be out the door if he finishes fourth.

I don't think he will.

But I think, will he be given five years without winning?

How long has Arteta had before winning the league?

Six years.

Would Liverpool fans be prepared to give a manager six years now to win the league or the Champions League?

I don't think they would.

I think it's to win it.

I think people, I'm not saying Anfield as a whole, but I think the general mood in the fan base would be that they want someone to win.
