But fucking hell, you're there to make sure that they are prepared and ready for these games.

And that's not to let any players off the hook, by the way.

I keep saying it.

Some of these boys have got away with fucking murder this season with some of their performances.

But yeah, what did you make of those kind of comments?

And in terms of Liverpool as a proposition away from home, what have you made of them?

It was interesting Sean really mentions Villa's squad in terms of and listen it's all relative I don't think he's suddenly saying Villa are a better team than Liverpool but in terms of their squad he talked about the level being very very similar across the board and therefore quite interchangeable.

Now we didn't kind of bring Liverpool into it but you got the impression that there was maybe one or two hints in there.

Yeah, absolutely.

Listen, we've now got Tom Fahey talking about Aston Villa and then we'll have the insert from Neil speaking to Les Wright and Danny Smith about the Sixerside fundraiser.

Yeah, interesting, the set-piece thing.

And obviously Villa take a lot of shots from outside the box.

We know how much Liverpool love not turning the back on shots, Josh, don't we?

We've seen it all season.

In terms of the Liverpool team, what do you think Arnott's lot goes with?

I think Robbo might obviously we'd like to think he'll spill to start the last game of the season given everything that's kind of around that but obviously if there's something riding on it the manager's then got a different decision or a decision to make yeah it's not that you can't play Robertson when there is something riding on it necessarily yeah but I think Kirk

The goalkeeper one will be interesting, Greg, because when we were breaking before, Andy mentioned that Alisson may be able to feature.

I think he was on the training pitch, but obviously the manager wasn't too sure when he did his press conference.

feel nice to have him back maybe if that's doable what else would you maybe kind of look to do in the team because I think as Josh has laid that out there I'm assuming you will be playing McAllister then given how you've structured the team that does feel a bit of a problem for me given some of his performances and he's not the only one let's be really clear about it

But I do find it still quite striking that, given his level this season, he's virtually played in all the games.
