People always seem to forget Mbappe doesn't even play Salah's position. We're stacked with players on the left, finding an inverted winger on the right is way trickier.

[@nvgirl1807]

Klopp wouldn't touch Mbappe with a 10ft pole. There is no superstar behaviour in the dressing room, Salah first one in every day working harder than anyone, creating the atmosphere where they all work for the team. Why would he change that approach for someone injury prone who chases the money. Mbappe is content where he is, just making sure they renew his contract for more and more money. Sure he has great goal stats but he also plays in a farmers league

[@Richardinho-gi7pi]

you've just full waffled, mbappe isnt injury prone, mbappe is not some lazy player who parties who comes in late in training, he rejected madrid who matched all his demands that psg offered other than image rights and he is seen as egotistical cause he gets angry when he loses, you're either a casual or a women who just listens to what the media feed them

Cheers to Craig! Great guest!

[@mrpia4075]

Love Craig glad you had him on the pod

[@MartinKul100]

I somewhat agree with the take on Klopp and his anger around the 12.30 KO time, but I just want to add a bit of context. The TV-companies are the ones deciding which games should be played when. So Klopp has very VERY little patience when a representative for a TV company jokes about it, because he knows that ultimately the ones joking are the ones responsible. It’s obvs unfair on the reporter, but he uses the reporter as a representative for the whole company/industry the way a manager is looked upon as the face of his club. Also, I believe it’s a bit of a language thing. Germans are very literal people; he might’ve just misunderstood the sarcasm as being a critique of Klopp and his moaning instead of being what it actually was. Klopp is still the funny and charming guy he’s always been. No doubt; you can tell through his players and their passion when playing for him, but he has lost a lot of patiance with the english media; and can you really blame him?

[@jessicanoble694]

Well done lads keep up the good work 😉😉😉

[@johnmichaelson9173]

If Nunez stops hitting the woodwork & starts scoring goals I think Liverpool could well surprise everyone. But if he doesn't it's gonna be difficult.

[@mikexhotmail]

I wish Klopp forces Nunez to wear some kind of contactless that slightly reduce his focus. It seems like Nunez focusses too much on the frame instead of the net.

[@prideless1974]

It's about the substitution mid-game that Klopp makes that allows us to be the comeback kings (and also a deep bench is required to go with it)

[@aldiann]

I’ll tell you more! I don’t know what luck they’re talking about, but the reason for this is that they have specific exercises to train that. And I know this for sure. Given what this pundits do day and day out I am shocked that they don’t have a clue about it.

Perhaps a classic statement with regard to « the potential signing by Liverpool of Kylian Mbappé - Ahem « there’s a big difference between prancing down the Champs Élysée and to walking up Mathew Street » and blow it, Palace awarded a penalty in extra time to equalize. Peace and love James…x

Even ignoring recent results, it's so strange for Geordie to speculate resilience off performances against his team. We've seen plenty of instances this season (and throughout history lol) where teams will put in great/poor performances where something big is expected of them. And then later on whether it be 1 game later or so, the reverse will happen. All respect to Newcastle, but they they don't determine potential champion status. Same as any other club, we've seen Villa absolutely outplay the treble winners and then struggle against mid-table sides.
