Craig Burley

Where's the assists?

All those things that

the media and Liverpool fans are still sort of waiting for.

He's been doing that for quite some time for Germany.

So I just feel, to me, it looks that when he goes back with the national team, he just oozes more confidence.

And when you're in that frame of mind,

and you just feel that you're the guy, then you're going to play better.

Because your chest puffs out, whereas at Liverpool, he knows every week at the moment, apart from Mo Salah, nobody else is getting more eyes on him to say, what's he doing?

And where's his best position?

And international football is a bit more, well, yourself.

I'm sure you were just unlucky.

You lived in Madrid.

Maybe if you were a couple inches taller, you'd have made it.

But, you know, international football, sometimes it's a...

frantic game, but most of the time it's more of a chess game.

It's a little slower.

It's a little bit more tactical.

So maybe that does, maybe there is a little bit of that that suits him at the moment, whereas the Premier League, like a lot of leagues, is frantic sometimes.

But I definitely feel that there's a big part of it is he just loves to go back and do what he's been doing for Germany for quite some time, and that's be in his comfort zone.

World Cup winners or bust?
