you can win this 4-5-0 it was dead easy and I couldn't gauge where Liverpool were at so the first half to me now looks better than what it was because I was a bit bored going yeah it's only pre-season who cares you know what I mean and then you're like then you you sort of respect the first half more now and you think well this is the second half and you need to sort it out and

I think Iriola will be looking at that and I'm sure he knows a hell of a lot more about football than me anyway and a lot more about what went wrong with Liverpool last season.

But I enjoyed it last season and I looked at it last night and it was a mirror image of everything that was going wrong.

People not sensing danger.

just like I said, ball watching, even the last goal, the throwing comes in, you've had the opportunity earlier on to learn that you know it's coming, there's a flick on coming, they're not even trying to score initially, they're just trying to hit that front post,

the centre half, I can't remember his name, he's positioning me wrong, he's underneath it, they flicker on, and again, on the back post, it's like, oh, there's Dominic Calvert-Lewin, it's like a surprise, he leaps like a salmon, but no one's goal side of him, no one's given themselves an opportunity to even nudge him, they're not even close enough to nudge him, there is nothing, and it's like,

oh no it's and they just look very vulnerable and feel sorry for themselves there was a moment and that's why i've concluded ryan gravmeyer because i don't want to just keep criticizing cases jones there was a moment in case of jones when he tried to hit it with his left foot and it was like oh my god there's someone there and the camera went on him but went off him pretty quickly and he looked like he wanted the world to eat him up because it was embarrassing and it was it was embarrassing yeah it was the third goal it was just it was an embarrassing display and

everything that was wrong with Liverpool last season was wrong in that second half It's a reminder Andy that when you suddenly stick in a very decent and he is a decent centre forward Cavalier when you've been keeping fit it does it can change things you know you talked before about what someone the level of Isaac could potentially give Liverpool next season if he can keep them fit and firing well it

Cavalier was a few rungs down from that, we know that.

But all of a sudden, young lads who look okay in a certain environment, and it's not to kind of, you know, do them down in any way, but they won't be used to playing against someone like that.

That is a totally different challenge, both physically, but also movement-wise as well.

You come up against a forward who's a bit wily, and all of a sudden he can't find space.

And don't get me wrong, Liverpool give him a massive helping hand, but his introduction, it always felt like one where, yeah, if anything's going to move the needle, it's probably this.

It'll take a few years, but it's like teams like us and fans like us, we can't just moan every week.

We have to go and sort it out.

I was always brought up that, at least the drumming to me, if you want to win the league and you want to be champions, you need to go and play everyone on their pitch, whether it's a plastic pitch, whether it's Wimbledon away, whatever it is, and you need to do what you need to do.

And Liverpool don't do that.

Liverpool play well when the conditions are nice.

And I don't think that's good enough.

Gavin Beck got mentioned there John I mean he's probably got some mitigation that it's his first 45 back now you can say well it was the first one for Iza compared to and they looked a little bit sharper but listen if you want to give him a bit of a bit of leeway and say it's a much changed team second half and it is his first game back then maybe you can park that although I would have expected maybe a little bit more
