00:00 With Jürgen, I think the way that he improves players, the way that he talks honestly to
00:09 Liverpool fans and across the world, they adore him. As I say, this guy has only amplified
00:15 the Premier League and I think the Premier League strangely needs to get him back because
00:20 he's just so good for it. Yeah, and of course, you don't want him to do well with another
00:24 club other than Liverpool, but it's, I think, from the Premier League side of things, he's
00:28 a bit of a pressure.
00:34 However you want to look at it, the Premier League is the best league in the world. His
00:39 team have dominated it and for what anyone says about money being spent, I think other
00:45 than Jack Grealish at one point, he's never bought the most expensive flat. Harland even
00:51 was the most expensive, might be the best, but he kind of gets the players, makes them
00:55 better. And I said as a manager, tactically and with regards to what he's won, I mean,
01:01 I'm struggling to think of a manager who's overall done better. Of course, Alex Ferguson
01:06 you could think of, but Alex Ferguson had what, 18 years I think it was, 17, 18 years.
01:13 I think Pep would beat Alex Ferguson possibly in, I don't know, seven or eight. It's just
01:19 ridiculous how good this guy is.
01:25 I love them both for different reasons. I think there's something about Nunez and given
01:29 they're both the same age, what, 23 now, I think both of them. I would hate to play against
01:36 Darwin on the basis that he can score or at least he can hit the target regularly with
01:44 very difficult shots. And when I say difficult shots, the kind of, he'll hit the shot when
01:49 you're not expecting it. Whereas Erling, I think he scored one goal from outside the
01:53 box this season. I can't remember which game it was, but he's only scored what, two goals
01:59 outside the box in the last 18 months. So there's a bit where you're not too worried
02:02 about him for a lot of the game. However, given who he's playing for, the chances are
02:08 when he is shooting, he's in a position where he should or could score.
