Yeah, one thing obviously Arnie Schlott's really showed up is the defence, just quickly on them and that fantastic defensive record.
00:09
Can that sort of be the difference when it comes down to it in terms of winning the title?
00:14
Yeah, it's a little bit more pragmatic, isn't it? Liverpool, I think it's not just as a defence, I think it's the way Liverpool play.
00:21
It's a bit more measures, a bit more controls. You know, Jadon Klopp, he likes his team to be a little bit,
00:28
maybe a little bit fiddled, you know, it's a little bit chaotic, but it's different with Arnie Schlott.
00:33
I think that's having an effect on the defence, but all the defences have been in great form.
00:37
I mean, Trent Alexander-Arnold's improvements have been fantastic.
00:42
He's, you know, some of the wingers he's marked in recent weeks, I'd like to tell him about Brighton, Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho.
00:53
His stats have proven really good. He's even improved Costa Simacas, who was second choice for a lot of his Liverpool career,
01:00
but he's really come on leaps and bounds. And a lot of fans maybe say he'd be first choice.
01:06
He's ahead of Andy Robertson now and he's managed to keep Hiroshima Kanate fit, which has been a big problem during his Liverpool career.
01:14
I don't think anyone's ever questioned Kanate's quality.
01:19
But keeping him fit has been the biggest struggle. He's had a lot of niggles and Virgil van Dijk say he's just looking his absolute best.
01:28
He's shown no signs of let-up. You know, he's, what, 33 now and again, comes back to his contract talk, will Liverpool get a deal done there?
01:37
You would like to think that, again, where else would Virgil van Dijk go if he doesn't want to go to Liverpool?
01:43
You know, he's still playing at the peak of his career, so why wouldn't he want to stay at Liverpool?
01:48
But, yeah, the defence and then St Ryan Gavin Burke in the number six has been excellent.
01:53
But, yeah, I just think it's maybe not just been defence as a whole.
01:56
There have been some changes that have been made. I think Ayrton Slott's worked on certainly Trent Alexander-Arnold's shape when he's defending.
02:04
But just the way Liverpool approach games has set things down a little bit and not made it as frenetic at times.
02:12
And that's definitely having a positive effect on the back four.
