Craig Burley

And in their Premier League, yeah, they had an unbeaten run, there was a lot of draws, but they lost last time out at Burnley.

And what was the issues?

The issues were the same old problems that's afflicted them for all of the season.

Big mistakes from key players and, you know, new guys like Kierkegaard's getting cut out and Van Dijk throwing his up.

These, and Van Dijk wanting a free kick here, that's all pie in the sky.

There's no foul in there.

But this, to me, encapsulates Liverpool's season and where they are more than what the Champions League, more than beating Carabao 6-0, more than beating, you know, an off-colour inter side in Milan.

More than any of that, they're...

Premier League form, or lack of, I think is a bigger barometer of where they are.

And this is a game where if Newcastle win, they go above them in goal difference.

So it's about who's going to have the momentum for the second half of the season to finish in the Champions League places.

Because neither of those two sides are winning the Premier League.

Not a cat in hell's chance.

So this is a huge game for momentum.

to get into that top four or five, whatever it is, for the Champions League football.

And to try and quell some of those doubters out there that keep saying about Arne Slott, you're not figuring it out.

You're not figuring it out.

You can't figure out Mo Salah.

You can't figure out your front line.

You can't figure out Florian Wurz, no matter what people say.
