Hello and also with me is echo reporter Christian Walsh.

I am and also on the line live from Hong Kong it's our full-time

Liverpool reporter both home and very much away. Jane Spears I a jay.

Hello hello how are you doing?

Well, too bad, thank you. Yeah, a bit hot and sweaty, but I won't give you the full details.

No, don't. So what's been going on over there? I mean, we're speaking the day after Liverpool,

booked their place in the final of the Premier League Asia Trophy, and it was a decent performance in the end, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was. I think all things considering. I think probably they approach the game with a little bit of dread having not really trained properly during their time out here, you know, absolutely torrential rain the first couple of days.

They'd have to move training indoors.

They then had to do running on the athletics track

because they couldn't find any grass that wasn't waterlogged to actually train on.

So, yeah, all things considering,

I think it was a very good performance,

more kind of intensity and tempo to it

that we've seen in the first two games in the UK and yeah deserved winners

against the Crystal Palace team that they've obviously had their problems with in in recent years so yeah big big pluses obviously no one key one was Dominic

Solanki getting off the mark for his new club sallow again you know showing that that blistering pace and the extra dimension he's going to give to the attack.

And I thought Joe Gomez was another big positive, but is defensive performance in the first half.

I mean, what's the reception being like that Liverpool's players have got over there?

Because obviously, Hong Kong's quite a, you know, they've got an awful lot of supports over there.

I mean, I went 10 years ago and they were quite fanatic.

Are they still all, as fanatic or are they even more so now?
