But there was obviously something there that's on his mind.

He wants to talk about it.

I totally get, listen, don't get me wrong, they're in a fight to win the title, but then you're also looking over your shoulder and you think, well, if Michael Carey keeps playing players in the same position, they're not going to be on 35 points for long.

They're going to go up the league and all of a sudden, can Liverpool then go on the run?

This is so compact and congested.

All of a sudden, a couple of wins back to back, everything can change.

And he's well aware of that.

But I don't want to undermine what Aston Villa have done.

You know, we're talking today before the game, they're title contenders and they earned that right to be there.

They've just got to find a way now.

And he will definitely, that squad as it is now, and then you take out Kamara and McGinn, cannot win the league.

Make no mistake.

But can that squad, if you take out Kamara and McGinn, still secure Champions League football?

I mean, our dotted line is there with the top four.

You would expect it to be top five.

Yep.

They've got a seven-point buffer over Liverpool, eight over United, nine over Chelsea, ten over Brentford, Newcastle and Sunderland.

I think so.

That squad can still qualify for the Champions League.

Yeah, I mean, it would be such a disappointment if they don't.
