The worry, though, for him is that even though he's on the bench, he still didn't come on for 20 minutes.

So he's obviously still managing his injuries.

But

Yeah, he goes on it.

We've done Liverpool a lot on Premier Sports recently and they struggled.

I mean, even at home, Joe, they've not beaten any of the Premier League promoted teams.

All three have got points away from Anfield.

And the reality is that

The low block, the reason why they can't beat the low block is that they can't sustain their attacks.

It's unbelievable.

He's changed that midfield formation where Graven Birch now is kind of getting forward before he just stayed behind the ball and he offered that wall.

So as soon as you cleared the ball invariably, he'd pick it up, start the attack again.

He'd ring fence it.

It would be difficult to clear it.

But when you're playing a team that's at the bottom of the league, which I often did in the Premier League, all you want really...

is a reprieve.

You just want an outball that you can just have a little bit of a breather, get your defensive line 10 yards further up the pitch, just regroup.

And Liverpool, in this formation, which is very Eredivisie, very Dutch, which...

I don't like in the Premier League, and I'm surprised that he's adopted it on the back of how good he was last year, is that that midfield three are rotating all the time.

And it does create numbers and it does create a little bit of space for Virts to excel in.
