I think he will.

I think Liverpool will finish in the Champions League spots.

Speculation is that England will get another fifth-place spot.

Jack, you just said this doesn't surprise you.

We've seen this from Liverpool most of the season.

They've got seven games to go.

Why all of a sudden are they going to find enough form to push themselves into a Champions League spot?

Well, they're not this year.

If England gets that fifth spot, I think Liverpool just about squeak in because so many others are kind of flailing around them similarly.

nothing happens in a vacuum would Arne Slott not be Liverpool's manager last season for whatever reason and he comes in spends 500 million in the summer and then you see this there's no question in my mind that he would not be Liverpool's manager to start next season but he saw them through to a title win last season that's bought him just about enough equity to see him start to see him start next season I think Arne Slott

This has been a season for Liverpool to learn a lot from, including on a slot.

Now, again, while you could look at the squad, whether you want to blame injuries, just poor form generally, I also think, I've sat here in this studio and said time and time again, you give players an excuse to lose a game, nine times out of ten they're going to take it.

On the back of that result against Galatasaray, he comes out and says, well, we're the only team playing on a Saturday and it's early.

While that's true and that's valid,

Build on the momentum that you generated against Galatasaray.

Don't talk about, well, everybody else has played Sunday.

You want to play tomorrow.

That's the message you've got to be giving.

But he kind of comes out with this.

And again, you see a rather lethargic performance from Liverpool, which surprised no one, really.
