Another thing you looked at in quite a lot of detail is the use of younger players and sort of the average age of the squads and that's something that Schlott right now he's doing very successfully and has done during his entire coaching career feels like he feels like he's feels like he often developed players and got the best out of youngsters which as we know Liverpool squads by and large now is very young

0:16.9

we've seen Javel Conter as you mentioned Connor Bradley you're Jade and Dan

0:20.0

Stephen Bachett less so this year but we've seen a lot of youngsters come through

0:24.1

and they succeed under clop and that feels like something slot could also continue.

0:27.6

Yeah, I mean a fire node, there's obviously an element and I think I've mentioned it in the article of that he's kind of had to give

0:37.2

youngsters the yards because phone odds are unashamedly a selling club, you know, they're not they're not as as big as PSV and Iax or not as rich as them so they can't they don't have the same
