Ian Ryan

He's played in a lot of the games.

He's got so many appearances.

And I'm just not sure, well, I am sure, that the performances haven't warranted that amount of appearances, if I'm being honest.

and it's certainly for this one you can make that case but I think there's some other times where I mean if you look at injuries I suppose across the course of the season where they haven't really been hampered is probably the midfield area yeah too you know Jones has missed a couple but I know Vert has missed a few but more often than not they've had probably more options in midfield than they've had maybe in other parts of the pitch yeah I agree and you know you've seen games like

A lot riding on the game, Sean, in the context of what Greg said there.

We can get Champions League football absolutely nailed and put to bed.

I think the Curtis Jones thing is interesting at right back.

Neil's made a strong case for it in recent weeks.

I understood it because of what he can do in possession, but you do get a real glimpse of what he's like out of possession at right back as well.

Despite Liverpool having another week, four weeks in training, it didn't quite look like they'd nailed anything down in terms of

You know, what happens when the opposition have got the ball?

You know, they'll finally get very, very easy to get in down that side.

Do you think that will be a concern going into this one?

Do you think there will be any temptation to maybe look at Gomez and then you can shift Jones if you choose to do so?

What would you do?

Score-wise, I'd just say playing out.

Brilliant news.

quite a strong team whether it finishes as a strong team maybe is up for debate because I think the manager will be keen to wrap a couple up in cotton wool I just think there'll be loads in their heads who are mentally wrapping themselves in cotton wool it won't be John McGinn I think he'll be the one who just on that though their goal difference is so bad that Bournemouth and Brighton

I think your point, Sean, before the round, just taking the pressure off a little bit in the final feels an important one because if you've got it wrapped up, then you can go into that match and think, well, yeah,

We should win this because of what you said before about the level of the opponents.
