And it has to be said that they've probably been the slightly stronger of the two in terms of their starting lineup.

Liam, what did you make off Chelsea's?

Not just their performance, but their approach to the game tonight.

Yeah, you know, I was thinking before that when I think Olivia Djourou doesn't get as much credit as he as he deserves.

I'm happy that he got the start tonight.

But I think guilty getting the early goal of Willie and I think that set the pace for the game.

And in the end, you know, I think so.

She could have gone on to get even more guards with Pedro and at the end of the last minute, you know, and I think when Liverpool don't start with for me, no Saleh all on the same field at the same time, I think liver for a different team.

And I think when Jordan Henderson's not there as well, I think it makes a huge difference.

You know, I was I wasn't Henderson's biggest fan throughout the years, but when I was in Qatar at the FIFA Club World Championships and he was the captain and he went into the center back position and he was fantastic.

And you know, I'm all for giving credit where it's due.

So I think when he's not playing for Liverpool, I think they're a big difference.

But someone like Virtual Band like you know he's still lead.

You know we can still you can see the winning mentality in him and I'm sure there were gonna be disappointed tonight.

There were one and you know, Liverpool now three games in the last four, the last four, you know, so that's not good for confidence.

But for me, you know, they're 22 points clear, I think at the moment and I think, you know.

But they obviously want to finish the season on the strong on a high.

And I think, you know, no one wants to lose games, especially in the way they did tonight.

Well, the thing is, it's interesting.

It is.

Leanne alluded to there.

They got a huge gap that's up the primly.

You can't just turn on off winning games, so you need to maintain momentum.

But the same time seven changes tonight.

Jurgen Cop has never been past the stage of their fake up That really shows his priorities.

So therefore, in terms of confidence, would actually not do that much damage tonight to Liverpool.

Think Rob?

No.

And I think you look at it over the course of a season.

It's making a conversation now because of what they've done before.

And it's it's such an incredible run.

But let's not Let's not kid ourselves that in a literal sense that the kids played in the last round, they were willing to forego the F A Cup.

They played Shrewsbury and they said, This isn't our game, you know?

This isn't our torment.

Sorry.

Thank you.

You've put us in a position.

And Jorgen Klopp made that call and said to have actually said, You're gonna play that you're playing the kids.

I'm not even gonna turn up.

They were right in this tournament off a game ago.

So to make a big deal out of a defeat tonight, Yes.

It's three out of four.

Yes, it's not a great guy, A great run in comparisons where they were.

But you look at it and say, Well, they're still in the European Cup and they've got games to play within the league.

So you know, I think they will be taken with a pinch of salt and Jurgen Club.

We set this and we're not gonna win every tournament.

It's no one's.

No one's done that before, so you know there's a reason for that.

And tonight again they came up against a good team.

I don't like the how, like, you know how teams now take the fake cop lightly because, you know, if a couple is a huge deal, you know, it's the thing.

You grew up as a kid watching on TV, and I think sometimes I find it quite disrespectful when teams fill the weak and team or, you know, clock says, you know, we're going to know, really try and win this because it's the F A Cup of the end of day.

It's like a dream come true to win the F A Cup.

You know, playing when Billy and stuff like that and I think the fact they even play the semifinal at Wembley now is another story and it is another conversation in itself because the F A Cup, but it unbelievable.

But Liam, would you accept?

With Jorgen, Klopp says, Listen, if we want to seriously challenge for the Premier League and to retain the Champions League, we can't do all four competitions.

We only focus on these two.

Would you respect his opinion?

Yeah.

I mean, you got room.

He needs one of the best coaches in the world, you know?

So you know, and that's why he's in the position that he's in because, you know, as we know, the Premier League have so many games.

It was good that a couple of weeks have teams on a couple of weeks off over the winter time.

But at Christmas, you know when you can see injuries coming in.

You know, Jamie Vardy got injured that Harry Cane's got injured and I think it isn't overload of injuries.

I mean, you paid at this level for a long time.

You know how hard it is on your body, the impact it has on games.

And, you know, I can't imagine playing 70 games a season.

That that that intensity Yeah, you look at it.

And I was 25 years to retire in the first season.

I do.

They bring in the winter break so assed life.

But you know, your clock's been very cute with how he's managed it in terms of the media is, well, he put it on the tones, and you know what resonated with me was, he says.

My first duty of care is with the players welfare.

No one else is looking after them.

I will look after my players.

They are my boys.

This is my family on beyond anything else.

That's That's the first and 4th 1st first thought into his mind and so waken criticize in.

We can play a week and team, but as you say, he's the guy.

He's got the stats.

They changed the way they play, you know, they said, we can't do this hi press all the time because we're competing on so many fronts.

So is that different from Manchester Social interruption?

Is that different from Manchester City, though, who played different in the Cups?

No, the champions last season.

I think it's I think it's different.

I think it's Ah you know, I think they're trying to manage something.

Pet goes to win every game and he just he has a different mindset that is.

You play this way and it's regardless of the opposition on.

We are gonna play on do it.

If we do it to the utmost of ability.

No matter who's playing, we will be that other beating the opposition.

So I think it is two different guys doing it.

They're their own ways and there's not one right way, one wrong way.

You can't deny either of their success at the minute and put Peps of the man.

He's just won another tournament of the weekend and without playing his strongest team.

So you know, all in all, he's saying it z, it's it's one that he's These guys are qualified in what they do and they can call the shots, and that's why they do what they do because they're doing so well.

Do you think there will be very few Liverpool fans if I'd like to hear from little fans if indeed they are disappointed that they could have gone to the trouble with the lead lay half one loss is not gonna make a huge difference.

It's not so.

They also tumbled in.

The book is ours has to win in the primal league, given the size of that lead.

Why not go for the trouble and go for broke up tonight?

Yeah, I think you know, I think that Jurgen Klopp thought that this team would have been enough to win the game.

I think friends, definitely.

We're gonna wanna win the trouble, you know, And I think they're going to definitely go on to win the Premier League.

Andi, I think you know, like I said earlier about confidence, I think when you lose a game, it starts to breathe into the other games.

And I hope they don't take that forward in the Champions League and stuff like that.

But I think, you know, I think clock fielded a team tonight that you thought could win the game.

And unfortunately, and lucky for Chelsea fans and Chelsea, they got the wind.

It was always gonna be a story of goalkeepers tonight.

And so it proved and we knew that.

Which is why we booked Rob months in advance.

Let's start with Adrianne.

I know you're a good listeners.

Well, on Sunday Is this currently the life of a goalkeeper?

For some reason, it's a strange beast, isn't at the minute you look at the mistakes on Sunday.

Two very, very different steaks and you look it.

Adrianne tonight made a mistake after making a fantastic save off one shot, which was probably harder saved, harder, save to make and then the shop that he does let in.

It's arguably an easier one would say in his defense.

He's got Virgil Van Dyke in front of him, moves the ball moves, he goes one way, maybe gambles a little bit.

It swerves.

It hits him in the wrong place.

It goes in.

It's just It's just so difficult that sometimes there's a goalkeeper.

Rather have the full stretch save than a wobbly one.

Straight, if that makes sense, so it's it's one that again he's been brilliant when he's come in.

I think you know he's made a mistake tonight on when you lose in a defeat of one or two goals on Dhe, it is that goal that sets the ball rolling, so to speak.

That's what makes it worse.

Is a goalkeeper.

It's really, really tough and I think it's pretty different, like for a center for it.

If if I miss which I never do any job.

If I miss you know, I again I think about it.

You know, I'm the kind of player.

If I scored three goals, I think about the three.

I didn't school, but then for a goal, keep you make one mistake and it's remembered, you know?

And I think that sometimes hard, but yeah, I know.

But also it's kind of within your team.

You can stand there and they'll say, No matter how badly your team plays and you lose one, they'll maybe to kneel like tonight, we'll turn around.

Go.

Yeah, we're doing all right until we let one in.

It compounds it that each other other than injuries to Alison, he was only gonna play in the F A Cup now turns.

So that's kind of technically without a ill will towards Alison.

That's his season over.

You know, he's gonna have to sit with us a watching brief for the rest of the season, so you know it's a tough one to take.

What did you make of the decision for Frank Lampard to bring back?

Pepper hasn't played for the last six.

It's an interesting one, you'd have said if he hadn't played tonight.

Not sure whether he's got a future, but because he's played on the way, he played on the result and keeping a clean sheet.

You saying, Well, hold on a minute.

Easy, easy.

Back to his best tonight.

You know, he made a trouble save.

It's fantastic.

You know, I'm delighted for him as a person that he's managed to have this opportunity and he's taken it, you know, is a young guy.

I think it's unfortunate for him the the transfer happened when it happened in the comparisons with Alison.

We're gonna be inevitable, Chelsea.

We're always going to go and buy him Chelsea.

We're always gonna pay that fee because it was a release clause.

It just so happened to be at the same time for roughly about the same money.

So completely different beasts in completely different stages of their career.

Absolutely.

Yeah, You've got one guy who's, you know, Liverpool went out and bought the ready made guy they bought.

This is the guy.

He is going to come in and take over and he has done and he's been brilliant.

Do you think that Chelsea fans like this for me?

You know I'm not a charity fund, but when Kepler refused to come off the field last year when Sari was asking him to come off.

I feel like he's always gonna have that over his head in some way, like, because I think I don't know if Chelsea fans.

I hope they forgiven him, but for me, even myself, I still think about that.

But I'm holding on, too.

But that was gonna be no, because we've never seen it before.

You know, like come off the pills.

I'm not coming off in its light.

Is that Is that perhaps part of what Rob saying is youthful impetuousness?

You know, experience, Go on, likability.

You know, I think that Chelsea found at that point we're already kind of like, You know, I don't even think they wanted him to play for Chelsea again off what he did, Even if he is a fantastic goal keeper.

Even if you know my team's goalie did that, I would feel the same, you know, it's not good back over.

Yes, I think so.

And I think it's going to take, you know, football.

You know, you you can have a great game.

You're fantastic, have a bad game of one thinks you're awful.

So you know, sometimes it can be it can work for against you is you've tried with Willy Caballero, huh?

Is he good enough to be Chelsea's number one, the age of 38?

He's got the ability.

He's done it before.

It matches City and he's done it for Argentina, you know?

So he's played a top top level before.

I think what you're looking at with with Chelsea and the way that they've gone this season, you're looking at the young guys who have come in.

It bucks the trend for him to be number one, and I think that's something that will go against him.

There's a long term prospect.

I think Will has been fantastic since he's coming on.

I think he's held his own on been a guy that all of a sudden has brought a steadying influence to the team, maybe while still conceding goals, which you know is not been his own fault.

But you know, the same time you look in the same.

We bought into a long term project here.

Frank's doing it with the young lads and that's the identity that they want to bring to this.

Chelsea team.

That's not someone.

What that's not.

What will He is?

Well, Caper made a magnificent trouble safe.

So who do you expect?

The answer.

C and goal at the weekend against Evident.

It's gonna be a tough one.

But maybe, I think Keppel.

I think after tonight and stuff like that, I think, you know, it's it's hard to know because I think really well, he's done a great job when he's been in, and I think when he played it Munsey, the same thing happened where he's always kind of thrown in when something's not going right, and I'm sure for a goal keep that could be a good thing because you've got nothing to lose.
