at the Liverpool midfield. It's obviously still a small sample size just a few games into the honest lot era but I think it's fair to say Tom that that's probably one of the areas that has changed the most from Yogan Blop into this new era at Anfield.

What have you made so far just in general really

of Arna's thoughts, Liverpool?

Before we talk about the midfield,

it's obviously been five games that the one

blot on the copybook really for Liverpool, but what have you made of it so far under

honest lot? I've been really impressed I think obviously it's a slightly different set up to what we came to expect under Yegan clock. It was very workman-like and quite rigid in the sense.

Obviously he had that defensive midfielder and then sort of two runners really didn't he were trying to tie everything together from defense to attack.

I think under slot it does seem to be a little bit more fluid and I've been really impressed with obviously the work they've been doing on the on the

training field at the margin with Ryan Grabenberg at the base of that midfield. He just seems to be getting better with every game really and you know I like to see kind of

Dominic so I was like kind of showing you know signs of the talent that we know is there as well obviously he showed

that a point last season as well but I've been really impressed with him and certainly

against AC Milan there and and yeah Alexis McAllister as we know as well you know an excellent

footballer and I think he could probably do a job in all of them roles to be fair to

him but yet I've been impressed with what's what's been able to do over the course of five games.
