And listen, this can happen, so it's not necessarily Liverpool's fault and it's not Slott's fault that he's not played at Aston Villa more.
But it just feels like for a talented footballer, and you can debate whether you think he's good enough for Liverpool's first team or not, I get that.
But it's just a bit sad that a young, talented footballer has gone somewhere and it just hasn't worked out for him.
Aston Villa then, Sean, on Friday.
You're going to get into a bit of tactical stuff a little bit later on.
We're going to hear from Tom Fahey soon as well.
But just in terms of that fixture, listen, Villa have got arguably bigger fish to fry.
They've got a big European final on the horizon.
This game will still be important.
I think Tom will go on and say that he thinks Villa will pick a fairly strong team.
Firstly, what are your thoughts on the fixture?
The manager was actually asked about away games and Liverpool's performance in certain away games and he was pretty clear.
He's disappointed in how some of those games have gone.
I think it's fair to say.
But I found those comments interesting around
in terms of what he would want to be better.
He talked about things like, I'd want them to maybe be fitter and more ready, certainly to take the challenge on, of when it's kind of two games a week.
And I think that's all really fair in terms of what I'd also expect.
But I mean, he plays a big part in some of this.
In terms of them being ready and fitter, I'm thinking, yeah, I absolutely get that.
