He's a leader, I think, not just on the field, but off it.
And you can see when players talk about him, they talk about him with such high esteem.
The players at Liverpool really adore him, the job that he's done.
So Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane, his influence on the team, his goals, his assists, everything about his game.
Mohamed Salah as well has been phenomenal I think when you talk about defenders in the world right now and I remember saying a few years ago about Virgil van Dijk that he's the best defender in the world and I got laughed off the face of the earth everyone was like what are you talking about but you could just tell what a player he was and so composed I think he's up there even a goalkeeper you could mention a goalkeeper but
The one player I think, apart from Liverpool players, that really stands out for me is Kevin De Bruyne.

And I think that's why, if you were to give it to a player that wasn't in the Liverpool team, he is certainly the only person that you could really mention because he's been that good.
And there's Sean, like a star in that City side this year.
I mean, the assists and the goals.
I think he would have been... I don't know what's going to happen this season.
None of us know.
We haven't got a crystal ball.
