Hello everybody, welcome to the Red Men TV. I'm joined by former Liverpool striker Emil Heske. We're about to have a quick chat about the Reds. First and foremost, Emil, how are you? Make you good? I'm very good, thank you yourself. Yeah, not too bad, thanks mate. And the best if Liverpool could win some games of footy, but here we are. Yeah, listen, we are now one day after Liverpool's probably most humbling defeat of the season.

I think it's fair to say the hands of Nottingham Forest.

It hasn't gone to plan so far.

I wanted to get your sort of general opinion on the Reds right now because obviously a lot of people start to question the manager.

After what was an incredible start of the season, it's already incredible season, it started his life as Liverpool boss. But for whatever reason, whether it be the new signings, not jelling, or he just can't seem to put his finger on how to get this working right now, can he? No, and I think you've hit the nail on head. Nothing seems to be clicking right now. You know what?

Sometimes you have to hold your hand up and say that you need to go back to the drawing board

and figure out what formation works.

How do we get everyone singing on the same hymn sheet?

How do you get everyone working through the end of the day?

You know, titles and medals are won by everyone singing from the same hymn sheet.

Everyone knuckling down and doing the dirty work sometimes because it's not going to be easy.

It might have seemed easy last season, but when the chips are down, who's going to stand up for each other?

And that's a key thing. I was looking at my year and we had Stephen

we had Kara

players like that were local lads

they wouldn't even allow you to get a head down

they wouldn't allow you to go down in the dumps

you have to pick yourself back up

where have we got that right now?

I can't see it. Someone needs to stand up and be counted for. Yeah, absolutely. It's that standard set of, isn't it? Whether it being trained or it matches and what have. There's quality footballers, of course, of all. But as you say, right now when things just aren't going to plan and looking for somewhere to turn, you do need people to sort of step up and be counted. We need to speak about the striker department as well

because obviously it's been all changed since last season. Obviously, Hugh Racketeke made an incredible start to his own Liverpool career, but Alexander Isaac, it feels to me, Emil, like obviously we know what he's all about. We've seen his exploits up at Newcastle. We know his quality.. But it does feel as though, Arna's slot, is desperately trying to get him up to speed, sharp, scoring goals.

Maybe at the expense of I could TK a little bit, how do you see that dynamic working?
