The Last Word with Matt Cooper · Premier League 2026/27 Season Preview · 21 Aug 2026 podcast

It's really important that he is back.

And if he's back, you could be having

uh a conversation about Liverpool that is very different to uh you know the one that we are we're we're having now because it could be like they could be the team that challenge Arsenal.

I would say as well I think the like he was plagued by injury Verts had some injuries as Tony alludes so I'd say Verts was more plagued by sort of on we rather than any kind of injury.

I've never seen a player I've rarely seen a player of with

such a a transfer fee who is so passive, like he is just uh you know, if he's if he's suffering from a any injury, he's like a kind of, you know, uh a sort of an heiress after World War One, current constantly having like fainting fits.

You know what I mean?

He's he's uh

He he he's just his inability to take take control of

Uh well yeah, he he's just inability to at uh show any authority in matches is is a real worry for Liverpool.

And I think in the system that Ariola is gonna play now, he needs to deliver and

Because, you know, the the Iriel is stressing and the reason people wanted them was back to the intensity of Liverpool of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

There's going to be hard running, there's going to be all, you know, all the drive and energy that they had under Klopp.

Now, in that, Wirts is playing as a traditional number 10.

And Klopp said, Klopp's famous line was that a counterpress is a better playmaker than any number 10.

because of what the the the opportunities it gave forwards through that swarming of a defense.

Now if you have a number ten in that system and Avertz does run, but if you have a number ten in that system, I don't know how it's gonna work.

So I think Liverpool are going to be hugely vulnerable unless he has a sort of a personality transplant.

Well that yeah, Richard Masters addressed that uh during the week by not addressing it really.

Um, but uh I think and no, I think the Chelsea story I think Chelsea on the field now with a manager like Xavi Alonso and they've given p you know power to him.
