This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Yergen, ahead of such a big game, can I first of all get your reaction to

Sergio Conseil saying this afternoon that sometimes you are the best team in the world.

When was that? Just a few hours ago.

Three o'clock this afternoon.

So I, which, what did you say exactly I don't we are the best team in the world sometimes

sometimes he feels that you are the best team in the world he likes the way you play the

style of play when you've got the ball when you don't have the ball the intensity that you show.

Hopefully we can show it again.

And maybe I can understand a little bit why it says that there are moments

after we win the ball or moments before we win the ball or moments when we

when the boys are doing some things then it looks really

really good that's the truth but yeah that's pretty much all and yeah it's

it's a compliment probably minus a compliment and but we still know that we have a really tough job to do tomorrow and probably he said that as well that he believed in their chances they still believing in their chances and stuff like that did you say that

that spirit within the squad?
