That's why I couldn't be a journalist.

Well, I couldn't be a journalist for many reasons.

One, I'm not trained as a journalist, but I hate those, I hate these discussions.

Are you trained for this?

20-odd years training for this.

There you go.

I don't like... And I know editorial like to have these comparisons and lists and rankings.

I don't like it because eras are different, teams are different.

Everything's sort of different about it.

And, you know, there's been so many great players at so many of the big clubs, it's hard to rank.

And, you know, what a lot of people do these days, they just crunch numbers.

Right.

They just look at numbers and say, well...

look at these numbers, he has to be, A has to be a better player than B and a better player than C and I think, you know, everybody's different, you know, Mo Salah plays in a different position to Kennedy O'Gleish, he's in a different position to Graeme Souness and the list goes on so, what we know is, in his position, it would be hard to argue that there's been a better player and more productive player at Liverpool in his own position but in terms of

you know, being a great at a football club.

I think we just leave them all there as great players.

No, don't believe he's going to say Steve Nicol.

You've just been stupid, now.

Do you know when you're talking about replacing a Mo Salah, Michael Elyse has been fantastic since leaving Palace for Bayern Munich.

His second full season, he's been terrific.
