We play a lot of teams that sit deep against us, low block.

You're still probably the most technically gifted or maybe the second most technically gifted if you think Virts is more technically gifted.

I'm not sure I'd go there yet.

So we can still use you, but this is a system for you, and it allows me to play my midfielders and keep control of that midfield and not tie everybody out, right?

So this has to be the way forward.

You really have to be mean to go and say that.

Why didn't he start with you?

No, no, no.

He just came back from the Cup of Nations.

It's entirely understandable why he wouldn't have started.

And I think you and Slott know about football.

So that's why it surprised me that he's making a statement there.

I do think, you can say you can try other systems, Salah or no Salah, right now, with the players Liverpool have, I don't know that there is another system other than this one that allows you to play with these fullbacks.

And because I think you need...

You need those midfielders.

But then you're packing the team even more with Mourinho.

What I'm saying is you can't go back to three midfielders or let alone two midfielders, depending how you count.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Or whatever.

You cannot.
