Keyes is going to look out as well.

So that's three forwards, one who's playing poorly, one who's 18, and one who's got a really poor injury record.

So you look at that going, who the fuck is going to score us goals?

So you need someone, you need at least two or three, but you can't go spend stupid amounts of money because we've already done that.

So that's where the big question comes, who fills them boots?

And I think Gordon's the right answer, because Newcastle are looking poor at the minute.

They don't know what their financial situation's like, so you can go and get him for a good couple million, but it's who else you have either side as well.

They're shrinking.

I think Van Dijk's who I'm more disappointed with this season because normally, if there's an issue, he just goes over and, like you said, with Canadi's presence, Van Dijk's presence makes people shit themselves a little bit.

Like, the amount of times Rio gets lumped this year and he just lets it.

go over and say who the are you kicking he's 17 years of age that sort of thing he doesn't do that when when the bruno go when in the day when in the best face going it's it touched his hand he just let it go past him he just let everything seem to bypass him sort of thing and we kind of talk heavily about mentality issues this season and and i think that's been a massive issue because you look at the leader in van vijk and he doesn't look like he seems to be leading the pack he should

Sobba's leading us on the pitch in terms of his performances, his goals and assists, but then he's coming out at press conferences going, oh, we weren't even focused at all, Stafford.

And it's like, how are we going to progress as developers, as a team, if you aren't focused on games, if you aren't willing to lead each other and you aren't willing to fight for each other?

Because...

as a Liverpool football club as a team of champions and a team who wants to go far in all these sorts of competitions you need to have each other's back you touch on look at that Barcelona game it was seven years ago today and look at the team that we had out on that field we had no Salah or Firmino and we still wouldn't have been 4-0 because everyone fought for each other the fans were there there was some sort of connection with us now there seems to be a massive loss in connection between fans and players and even the players themselves and it's been a massive issue this season from

from that first game, everyone seemed so mentally weak, and more towards the back end of the season, we've seen so, so that's why I'm more like, pissed off with the likes of Berger, because he should be the one going, no listen, we need to do this, like last season he was going, let's all wear red, let's all celebrate this thing, and he was coming out, and he was being a captain, and he was doing them things, but this season, they seem to have all fell off a clip, in terms of leadership.

That's where you need players to step up though, because you can't, and you can buy people like leaders who have been leaders at other clubs, but you need people to get it, you need people to get Liverpool and get the sort of culture in it.

Curtis Jones has lived in it since God knows how long, because he's been at the club for years.

McAllister, it's obvious Lionel Gravenberch has been here come two or three years now, so they're starting to get it.

And I feel like, I know he's not really a leader, but I think Kircher seems to get it in the sense of like, you put your fucking body on the line for the club.
