Me, Mo and Shaq are at a local school, and we're getting into the festive spirit.
The kids think they are talking about their favourite players.
My name's Leo, I'm 10 and I love Liverpool.
We're actually going to surprise them ourselves.
Ohhh!
Hello.
I support Liverpool because all of my parents and family support Liverpool.
My favourite players are Salah and Shaqiri.
♫ Mo Salah, Mo Salah, running down the wing
♫ Salah-la-la-la, la-laaa-ah, the Egyptian King. ♫
Oh, my goodness.
PLAYERS LAUGH
SHAQ: Hello!
Hi!
- How are you? - Good.
Erm...surprised.
We can see that!
If I had to pick one...
No pressure.
It'd probably be...
I don't know, I like them all!
They're just amazing football players.
Hello, my name's Dominic and I'm a massive Liverpudlian.
My name's Joseph and I'm a massive Evertonian,
and my favourite player is Richarlison.
He's miles better than Salah.
WHISPERING: (Who's better than me?)
ROBBO: (Richarlison - yes!)
Tell me everything you know about Andy Robertson.
He left Celtic to go to Marks & Spencer's.
He's fast, he's agil...
He's got good agility and he's good at crossing the ball.
The Merseyside derby was funny, because I don't know what Pickford was doing...
I thought it was funny, but I was annoyed a bit because...
It...
Oh!
SHAQ: You excited?
BOTH: Yeah! MO: What did you say?
I heard it, he said Richarlison was better.
But he is!
I don't know what to say!
He's miles better.
He is a good player.
But can he score 30 goals in a season?
Well, if Harry Kane can, he can.
Robbo is the best left-back in the league.
I'm kind of sick and tired of Robertson just running up the field.
Oh, I'm shocked!
I'm lost for words.
My favourite player is Shaqiri. His nickname is The Powercube.
Do his celebration.
Yes, my friend.
Hey!
How are you?
- Powercube. - Powercube.
(Who wants to know Robbo? Who wants to play left-back?)
(I'm the working-class hero.)
(What kind of kid dreams of being a left-back?)
Probably my favourite player is Andy Robertson.
(She just said Robbo, get in.)
(She did! What you laughing at?!)
He's really nice, and I found out that he, erm...
Keep talking, come on.
Keep talking.
Keep talking. Are you surprised?
Yes.
BOTH: We're called Oliver and we love Liverpool.
MO: Hello?
All of them are good at passing the ball and all of them...
Hello!
Oh, my God.

Nice to meet you.
How are yous so good at football, how did yous learn?
You are talking about me and Shaq, right?
My favourite player is Shaqiri.
My favourite player's Shaqiri.
More than Salah?

He-llo.

Oh, my God.
How are you feeling?
- Surprised. - Yeah!
Does anyone know the nickname of Shaq?
Em, Shaq Attack.

My name's Dominic and I love Liverpool.
I'm Lily and I love Everton.
Everton are better than Liverpool because they're fast and they don't give up.
(Go on.)
Which team you support?
Everton.
Oh, come on.
You need to change, I think.
Maybe.
LIVERPOOL!
Louder!
LIVERPOOL!
Can all the Everton fans put their hand up?
Right, can you leave now?
