| 0:00.0 | We are going to start by talking about maybe the tactical gamble that Arna Slot took in terms of the team shape, but also of course in terms of his selections. |
| 0:10.0 | The head coach decided to start Alexander Isak, Florian Virtue, go like a TK, Alexis McAllister as well as almost like a box four. |
| 0:19.9 | Mohammed Sala obviously is on the bench as well. He comes on unfortunately early than the people wanted them to because of Hugo Eckertique's injury. So yeah, it's usually as the clip section of the show, we focus on one player individual, but we're going to talk about them as a collective if you don't mind Errol. Yeah. Because to say backfired is probably being kind. Obviously, you can't do not about the Eckarty. That is what it is. But Florian Vert gets a Yemessen vote from the voters. Alexander Isak gets an even bigger one. So they can both go in there as well. And the same can be said for Alexis McAllister in his role. and you can throw him in there as well if you don't mind there. Alexis McAllister ends up in the same boat and then off the bench Mo Salah we'll talk to him in a moment but that gamble of the change of shape all three of those players ended up in the Emesson section I don't know if that's on the coach it's's on the players, it's on a combination of everything else. But basically, honest lot tried sort of new mate and it didn't work. No, it didn't. I think he had to. I think it was another brave call by him to try something new. However, I wasn't convinced by the performance and the way that the player is seen out as tactics, if that was the decision in terms of playing the two up top. |
| 1:32.3 | Florian Verde playing over on that left-hand side, getting a little bit more of three roles. |
| 1:36.3 | They just pop up in a couple of different spaces and ultimately try and be a bit of a facilitator. |
| 1:41.3 | In the first off, it really didn didn't work Liverpool were wasteful on the |
| 1:44.3 | ball very careless with it they didn't protect the ball enough there was not enough hold the |
| 1:48.8 | play and i also want to say that across the team off the ball i think it is worth noting that this |
| 1:56.2 | team absolutely bled for the share today. |
| 2:01.6 | They put it in. |
| 2:02.6 | They had the desire. |
| 2:03.9 | They had the fighting them. |
| 2:06.2 | They had that little bit of determination. |
| 2:09.0 | But ultimately they became undone by the lack of quality. |
| 2:12.3 | And it was a real lack. |
| 2:13.8 | And you said before, you know, before we just finished up the watch along, |
| 2:18.2 | one of the things that worried you most was the real lack of technical quality and the golfing class between |
| 2:24.2 | Liverpool where we are currently and where PSG are currently at. And yeah, it is. It's night and day. |
| 2:30.0 | They're an absolutely well-oiled machine. They've got runners. They've got the ability to get back. |
| 2:35.1 | They have a really good shape. |
| 2:36.2 | They have a really good understanding of where everybody's going to be |
| 2:38.7 | when they are popping up in different spaces |
