- Dirk, welcome back to Anfield. - Thank you.
We see the players coming out onto the pitch,
obviously some of them with tighter kits on,
I'm looking at you and I think you'll be all right in the kit.
I'm definitely looking in better shape than Roberto Carlos.
Yeah, I want to say to you, you're looking in better shape and looking well there.
See Steven Gerrard going forward, Bjorn carries on the run on the outside,
Steven ignores him, crosses it to Michael Owen...
Oh, great goal, great goal.
Great goal, good move.
Steven, being Steven, Mr Liverpool, running the full length of the pitch
and puts it on a plate.
Everything that we see good in this game is coming from the No. 9, whoever he is...
DIRK LAUGHS
For me, he should still be playing.
It was a great cross again from Steven, by the way.
You're talking about yourself all the time, but...
Dirk, me and you are gonna fall out. Look, drift into space, Steven makes a good run,
there's still a lot to do...
But you could do a little bit more there.
No, I didn't need to, cos John Aldridge is within the six-yard box
and Steven's just put in a buffet ball.
Said, "Go up and help yourself, John, go on."
Phil Babb.
DIRK: Ooh.
- Oh, John Aldridge! - What a miss.
How did he miss?
Do you know why he missed that? Because it was a ball from Phil Babb.
He probably just didn't expect it.
Unbelievable.
Phil Babb normally has his stand-finders on.
But what about Luis?
Luis Garcia should have scored.
Maybe John was thinking he was gonna stick it away and he just wasn't expecting it.
One miss, Aldo, and you're off.
Get your goal, well done, but don't be missing chances like that at Anfield.
See you later.
Steven running forward again, he's probably done this most of the game.
DIRK: What a touch.
ROBBIE: Oh, but I'm claiming that was in.
You know what I remember most about this game, Steven had only just retired,
and he's running everywhere - Steven was the first player to get cramp.
And I'm not gonna lie, Dirk, I was slightly nervous here.
I'm up against Jerzy Dudek, who is famous for saving penalties.
But let's see how it goes. Look, he's bouncing about.
Oh, nonch, that was nonchalant!
- He's not even diving. - Well, it was a waste of time.
I'm sure you had a word with him at half-time.
I didn't need to, watch.
"You go left, I go right."
I mean, it's just, know your players, Dirk, innit?
Steven again.
Oh, what a goal. What a goal.
He was destined to score, wasn't he?
Was he the main man that day?
Second main man, I was the first.
But he was due a goal, Steven, he was trying everything to score a goal.
But Steven has made a good ball into an excellent ball,
great first touch and into the back of the net, at the Kop end.
But you know what I like about this game, obviously Jason McAteer never started,
and he was devastated, he really was, so he thought it was like a real professional game.
And he came on when, I think we were 4-0 up at the time,
so Jason McAteer goes into the right-back position
and the game ends up being 4-3, and he's still got a cob on that he's not started.
Oh...
You see early in the second half Phil Babb marauding down the left wing,
supplying an unbelievable pass to John Aldridge, who missed from three yards.
And now you can see him supplying Morientes, but Phil Ba-Babb...
Phil Ba-Ba-Babb, Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba...
Phil Babb makes a mistake and he's carted off,
so you know what happens there. Against Bayern if you make a mistake,
and you're playing, you're getting carted off. You really are.
Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes.
I like that, good attitude. De La Red, he scored to make it 4-3,
and it became really, really nerve-wracking.
But look, that's what it was, I think we'll obviously look forward to Bayern,
it'll be a full house, a great crowd, very, very noisy,
some great players on show, not just for Liverpool but also for Bayern,
World Cup winners and obviously a few fat players, so...
Looking forward to it.
We will. So it'll be good to see you in a red shirt again, Dirk.
Yeah, thank you. See you soon.
