Going into Milan, at a time when they were really struggling getting that 1-0 win, I thought defensively they were so good.

I thought they were exceptional away at the Emirates in that second half.

Because in that first half, they were going man for man, where...

At times, McAllister and the midfielders were in the back line.

I'm thinking, oh, you're a banging trouble.

We're against Arsenal.

But they didn't.

They worked it well.

Arsenal panicked a little bit by total control in that second half.

So he's very astute as a manager.

I really like him.

And I've always, I know it's a stereotype, but I've always felt the Dutch managers struggle in the Premier League.

I only think it's Slot, Hiddink and maybe Martin Jol who got it.

They understood the Premier League.

And I especially felt that last year with Slot.

I thought, wow, you really do get in a way that

Van Gaal or De Boer, they didn't get it.

They're trying to tell the Premier League how to play.

But I'm looking at it now and the frustration thing for him must be is that there's these nonsense questions about Alonso, that he's ready to go.

And Liverpool fans, if they want that kind of high intensity football, Alonso is not going to give them that the way Klopp did.
