Just on the Champions League campaign, obviously we've seen the new change in format and the
00:09
teams they're going to be coming up against are quite tough. They've already fantastically
00:12
beat AC Milan away from home. Just in terms of their goals under Arnie Schlott and what
00:19
they want from the Champions League this campaign, is it clear that he's going to be really trying
00:26
to go for it and make sure they're in that elusive top eight?
00:30
Yeah, it's a funny one, the Champions League this season, isn't it? Do you go for it? Do
00:37
you want to be in that top eight to avoid two more games or do you take it a little
00:41
bit easier and you think, well, we might be able to get through them, their play-off rounds
00:45
anyway? But it was good start from Liverpool against AC Milan and that result's been reaffirmed
00:51
by AC Milan going and beating Inter in the Milan derby now. Maybe a few people are thinking
00:55
of AC Milan any good, but Inter Milan obviously drew with Man City and then they won the league
01:00
for last season fairly emphatically. So, it's a good result for Liverpool away at the San
01:07
Siro. Look, I think the way that Liverpool's squad is at the minute, they've got a chance
01:14
of finishing that top eight because they haven't got many injuries. Say, Alisson's muscle issue
01:20
doesn't seem too serious. Harvey Elliott's the only real long-term issue for Fractured
01:26
Foot. So, when those games come around, you've probably got a strong team to rotate a little
01:32
bit. I brought Cody Gappo in for the gameplay, Costa Simacas. Maybe it makes it a little
01:39
bit more open this Champions League season, but as I say, the priority is to get back
01:44
into the Champions League for Liverpool. But it might depend on the draw, it might depend
01:48
on Liverpool doing league injuries, etc. But Arnaud Slot, I think he'll want to go
01:53
for every trophy that he can because he believes in his squad, he believes there's talent there.
01:58
So, if they play Bologna next, I'd like to be thinking Liverpool can pick up a victory
02:03
there. They've got some decent fixtures in there, some difficult fixtures. Real Madrid
02:09
at home, Bayer Leverkusen at home. The top eight might be difficult, but I certainly
02:15
think that Liverpool could be up there.
