HE WHISTLES
Hello.
What's the approach going to be today?
Football. Active, positive, front-footed football - that's it.
We said that a lot of times, in a game like this you have to defend with all you have,
otherwise you get punished.
You have to attack with all you have, otherwise you don't get anything.
- Do you want these for Sky? - Yes, please.
There you go, mate.
Good man, thanks very much.
Best keeper in the world!

We are absolutely delighted to have Sean Cox and his family here today,
please give them a very warm welcome, as Sean's wife Martina joins me here pitchside.
How has he enjoyed today so far?
He's absolutely loving it, he's ecstatic up there, really enjoying it,
getting into the thick of it. It's great to see.
It's a huge boost for him.
Can you update us on his condition?
He's doing well, he's making improvements,
it's a slow process but it's very encouraging,
he's fighting really hard and he's determined, which is great and really positive.
Wonderful, thank you very much indeed.
Come on, lads!
Come on, come on!
Come on!
Yesss!

Liverpool, Liverpool, top of the league!
Liverpool, top of the league!
Liverpool, Liverpool, top of the league!
CROWD ROARS
Liverpool, top of the league!
Liverpool, Liverpool, top of the league!
Bobby!
Well, Robbo, congratulations, what a result.
Yeah, massive for us, a big game against our closest rivals last year,
obviously both of us were in a league of our own then,
it looks like there's gonna be a couple others sniffing around this year,
but I still believe if you finish above Man City you'll get the title.
Say hi to Sean.
Hi, you OK?
Enjoy the game?
Yeah, he's coming every week now!
Our lucky charm!
Joe, how are you? Say hi to Sean.
Nice to meet you.
The Sean hug has replaced the Klopp hug!
You OK?
Could I hand you that?
Yes, here with Jordan Henderson, the man whose assist sealed that victory.
We'll get to your assist shortly, but how does big that feel to be nine points clear?
Yes, it is November, but is it significant?
We always knew it was a big game, City are a fantastic team,
we knew the importance of the game,
we wanted to go out and put on a good performance, win the game.
Good to see you.
Hi.
Well, Jürgen, you spoke about it in your programme notes,
you were gonna have to be brave to get anything from the game,
courage in bucketloads from your team out there.
LAUGHING: Yeah.
That was the plan and the idea, and it's pretty much the only way how we can do it.
You saw in the last 15 minutes, in the moment when City get control of the game
then it's like it is, it's difficult.
OK, we were obviously tired then,
a couple of players felt a little bit of a cold, Hendo, Bobby at half-time,
it was really difficult, and it was clear at one point we had to make changes,
then it's difficult to adapt and they get the momentum,
score that goal, and then they had a few more moments.
But come on, you cannot win against City with no dangerous moments,
their quality is too high. I'm completely fine with what we did,
we did it our way and I liked that a lot.
Given the fans a brilliant Sunday night, haven't you?
Welcome!
Inside Anfield.
Are you doing something?
No, this is like behind the scenes, you wave to the camera.
These are my friends from Los Angeles.
- It's been a long day. - You picked a good game though!
- Awesome game. - Man of the match.
