on Sunday. We talked about it, Robbie Marceau, and Tim
I yesterday about
the frustration that Thomas to court and Jurgen klopp are
currently feeling, they're angry. They're annoyed at
pretty much everything right now, not least their teams are
formed. But do you think that they're distraction with
the schedule and the covid situation? And the fact they
want 5 subs and they want more cancellations is dripping into
the dressing room to the players. I think it is because
the one thing
the I remember from playing was
for manager, told you as a team, you look tired or
a manager was telling the media that my team's tired. I'm need
to make changes your guarantee. You feel tired?
Because the manager is the boss. He's the leader. And if
he's saying things like that, it's going to flow into
the dressing room. It's going to flow into the players.
I just think that they,
you know, when I look at little Polo, look at Chelsea to
unbelievable teams, to unbelievable squads, and yes,
we know what's going on in the world at the moment and we know
what the amount of plays that missing the
Leak. But Brian our problems yesterday. They were missing. A
lot of players,
Leicester city, rather plays that they were missing,
Brighton. Got a drawer at Chelsea, Lester beat Liverpool.
So I understand where they're coming from. But for me,
there's no real argument because
it's happening to most teams in the Premier League and we heard
some a circle a little bit earlier on in Gold Zone after
the game, when they drop points against Brighton yesterday, it
there's no sign that crop and to cross stopping they're
complaining. Anytime soon as got to stop hasn't it? Then it
got to get
on with it. Yeah, maybe but they're not, they won't.
I mean, this is who they are. Our this
they're in charge of two massive football clubs and
part of that is is posturing part of that as we talked
about. What are they saying to their teams in the restroom?
What are they saying publicly to try and put pressure on
the lawmakers and the powers that be? So I don't see it stopping
anytime soon. How do you see the game going? Then Stamford
Bridge Chelsea and of a pool?
I think Liverpool win this game.
I think it's a, it's a game. Both teams need to win.
I look at Chelsea at the moment,
wonderful players, fantastic place, but I said earlier in
the season predictable. They've got a lot of players on
the pitch that want to end up in the same position. We know how
important the wing backs are for Chelsea
James out till well out, might have to be a change of system,
but I can only see one winner in this game. I think Liverpool
will win this one because they both really have to win.
I mean, City would love a draw. But if you look at the table
really is
Got to be all three points. Do you think that makes this game
even more attractive to watch? Yeah, it has to be a winner.
Both teams. Know,
if they get three points, they continue to put themselves in
the title race.
I think that I think it's liver Point here is why
cops gonna want a response from the loss against Lester? He's
going to want a response. We know, they play high octane
football on the front foot,
Chelsea have lost 11 points from from winning positions.
The thing that Liverpool do best as they keep going and
going and going and creating opportunities late in the game
and they wear you down
and we saw the Concern a couple weeks ago and I spoke with this
face in an interview saying we're used to keeping clean
sheets and we're not like that seeping into this Chelsea team.
Now, we talked about it, pregame the romelu Lukaku story
that broke just before we came on air and is on the back page
of pretty much every English newspaper that ikkaku gave
an interview three weeks ago to sky sport, Italy, in which you
said. I'm not happy
at Chelsea. I'll be professional,
and I'm not going to cause a stink, but I am not happy at
the club, partly, because of the way to call, he named him,
praise the system that he's not happy. And now this was three
weeks ago.
How do you think now?
Out. That this is already gathered steam because on
the back page of your paper. How do you think to called? We'll deal
with it in tomorrow's pre-match, press conference.
The one thing I do like about to collide he
wears his heart on his sleeve. He doesn't hold back.
There's probably dead. There is an argument to say, I know that
look who's come back into the team now, and I started to
score goals. There's an argument to say that Chelsea's
best performances. I've been with a false 9
this season at times earlier on in the season.
Now, if you're to call,
you know, with what Lukaku Said it to a certain extent, you
been undermined as a manager.
And I wouldn't be surprised at all. If he doesn't play mat
the weekend. I really wouldn't be. Just because
if you're a boss at times, you have to stamp your Authority,
you need to let people know his boss and if Lukaku is able to
come out and say that and there's no real repercussions
repercussion. Then I think it becomes an issue. So it'll be
interesting to see that Lionel but it's similar in a way to
the our
tester aubameyang situation. Do you think to call needs to make
a stand? I think Google needs to say something he needs to
address it. So what I would say in favor of Lukaku, just as
a footballer is,
he said that three weeks ago and last two weeks. He scored
goals, Chelsea need goals. So he has to be on the pitch. So
it's going to be really interesting
to see how to Cole Hamels because it does. It does need
handling.
