Gary Neville analyses Liverpool's win over Arsenal! | The Gary Neville Podcast

It's the Gary Neville podcast from Anfield at the end of a game between Liverpool and Arsenal, which began gently but certainly didn't end that way, Gary. It'll be remembered, of course,

for one quite stupendously good free kick. Yeah, there was a narrative building before this game that Arsenal would wait till the last 20 minutes and then Eze and Urdegaard would come on and Arsenal's bench was stronger, but it was actually Liverpool that got stronger. Apart from the last 10 minutes after Liverpool scored and Arsenal obviously reacted, I think there was a point around 65, 66 minutes where the Kop started singing and the ground started to come with them and you felt,

they smell this a little bit, they want this. Now obviously it was an absolutely spectacular strike. I mean, Raya's been the best goalkeeper in this league along with the guy at the other end of the pitch and not much beats him but it was so special. I mean, when it was lining up 32 yards out, I'd say it's not Salah, it may be Shabaz Lai but never fancied him for one second to do what he did and, you know, ordinarily 99 times out of 100 I'm blaming a

goalkeeper for any strike from that distance but this was the one time where the way through. I think he was. 29 times out of 100. I'm blaming a goalkeeper for any strike from that distance. But this was the one time where I wouldn't do because it was just absolutely. It was ridiculous.

That's where the power and dip.

Everything was perfect, and it

goes off the post. It's a violent shot. Um and. So besides deserved it because I thought it was outstanding for minute one right the way through. I don't think you give Martinelli a kick. I think Martinelli to be fair, sort of almost refused him at points in the first half, and he was so positive when he kept going inside. He sometimes went

inside to get on the ball of Canata. He went into midfield. I think at one point I saw him making a couple of runs into the box. So yeah, it was a really great day for him. He's he stood up on Monday night and he stood up again today and Liverpool stood up. You know this was the team that couldn't defend, this was the team that couldn't

keep a clean sheet, this was the team that were easy to play against but in the big game where it mattered they found something, they went deeper and they sort of did become sort of tougher to play against and I'm not going to sit here and say that they deserved it but I always felt that with the crowd, the positivity in the last 25 minutes, Liverpool got stronger in the game. And I feel like Arsenal missed a chance in the first half.

Do you feel from Liverpool's perspective that that was a deliberately different game? Yeah. Or did Arsenal make it a different game? Liverpool set out to have that game, did they?

No, I mean, I think you know when you play against Arsenal I mean what what we need to do today with Liverpool is give them huge credit for the way in which they defended set pieces. I'm not saying that Declan Rice's delivery was always on point as it usually is but there were probably five or six of them that were whipped underneath that six yard underneath the bar and sort of into the six yard box and Canarte in particular headed two or three the way they got their players in and around the penalty spot to aggressively not foul because

I know that referees are really stamping down on it now, but to really sort of be body to body and harass and hustle. And that's what sometimes you have to do. You might be smaller in

stature against bigger players. Arsenal would land a giant stomp on the back of the net. You might be smaller in stature against bigger players. Arsenal would land a giant their own. They're not going to be the same. They're not going to be the same. They're not

going to be the same. They're not going to be the same. They're not going to be the same. They're not going to be the same. They're not going to be the same. They're players in there. Liverpool have got two or three, that's it. So they were outnumbered in terms of height. So what you've then got to do is ask your 5ft10, your 5ft11 players to be absolute pitbulls. And I'm looking at that really seriously because I've been there

against in teams playing for United at Anfield or playing away at Wimbledon or Stoke where you've got height disadvantage and it's no excuse just to walk off the pitch as Liverpool Football Club and say oh we got beat by set pieces because the other team were a little bit taller than us. D-dums. You can't do that at Liverpool, you can't do that at Manchester United, there's no excuses. I thought Liverpool today on those corners were absolutely outstanding and they deserve great credit for that. The way in which they've worked on that this

week, so they were a little bit more formidable in terms of their aggression. They were more solid and less practical and also Arsenal are an outstanding defensive team. So the likes of Ekotike, Salah, Wurtz and Gakpo, four really good attacking players. They were playing against top-class defenders. I thought Calafiore, Gabriel, Mosquero when he came on and Timber were outstanding for Arsenal. I really did think one on the way. It's a great way to get a goal. I think that

Fiore, Gabrielle Moschero when he came on and timber were outstanding for Arsenal. I really did think one on one. They did a great job and they nullified their opponents and

they got done by a set piece in the end from a thingy, but that's not the problem for Arsenal. The defensive side of things. They've got zoom and rice sat in front of the mood the goalkeeper is fantastic. It's the intent. It's the intent. I don't think Arsenal played

a bad game today. I think Mikel Arteta will say after 70 minutes, right, okay, let's try and go and get that goal. But there's something missing up here in these, I'm not going to say big matches, I'm going to say these big away games at difficult grounds. You know, Merseyside is bloody tough to come. For Anfield, to Goodison Park, Newcastle is tough to go to. It's bloody tough up there,

and it's tough also to go to Etihad, because there's such a brilliant team with Pep Guardiola. But they're the grounds if you're gonna win the title. You're not always gonna win there, but you have to win sometimes. You have to think you can go and win there. And it says something about your intent to go and win there.

I've seen this narrative for three, four years now of, oh, a point away from home, it's early in the season, it's good for Arsenal. Not always. If your intent to win and go and basically win the game is there and you draw, fair enough.

I think there's an element of not wanting to lose. Take the bloody handbrake off. You've got good players, they've got really good players in attacking areas and I just feel like there isn't that commitment to go and disrupt and do something a bit special and they've got to find that, they've got to find that. You've got to go and win games that you maybe not expected to because it can't always be that you're just going to go

and basically deliver against the lower teams, That's not going to work. I know they've got a great record against the bigger teams, Arsenal,

but this type of match is costing them. That's interesting, particularly in the context of the fact that I think, correct me if I'm wrong, but as we were watching the game first half, we felt that broadly speaking, or you felt, doesn't matter what I think, you felt that Arsenal, broadly speaking, had control of the game in the early stages and had a chance to make it theirs.

My last comments before half-time were that I feel like Arsenal, with a bit more risk, can go and win this game. Jamie Carragher, Theo Walcott and Roy Keane at half-time, if Arsenal can just be a bit more brave, the game's there for them. Arsenal, Liverpool are there for the taking, I think Jamie Carragher said. the game. It's not a game. It's not a game. It's not a game. It's not a game. I believe the game's there for them. Arsenal Liverpool are there for the

taking. I think Jamie Carriger said I felt that speaking to Mike Dean here said, Look, I still want to do this. They want to step up and win it on field for the first time in 14

years. I'll go and win it. The they've got to be a bit more aggressive. They've got to be a bit more aggressive. They've got to be a bit more aggressive. And. I'm sorry again at the end of a game where they've not one and they've lost and we also did halftime. Can they be a bit

more expressive in that first half? Well, Liverpool were a bit nervous. They're a bit anxious. They weren't quite right. That's when you play through the lines. that there's something out here that's not quite right. Because once their backs are up, by the way, and the noise is going behind that goal, you're in a bit of trouble.

You're asking for trouble, should I say, as well. So when Liverpool's fans started singing, you're thinking, here we go. Now we used to think, coming here, when we played here, that we could get through that first 25 minutes

when it was noisy and it was frantic, the game. You know, you're playing a game. You're playing a game and the noise has started to come. And you'd be in the eye of the storm for a bit, and you say right now, go win the game. Go and get your goal. Punish them now when they've calmed

down and the noise has gone in the circuses sort of cleared for a little while, but for this game today, it was very different. I thought Arsenal had about intent and risk and thinking that you're a champion team, you're a champion team. It's a mentality, it's the edge. This club have had it in this last three, four,

five years, they've won two titles and they've got a mentality out there today Van Dijk and a few of the others that we're gonna win this game, we're gonna pinch this and we're seriously gonna go and win this game, we're gonna end up on nine points and that's what they've done.

It's fascinating psychology, because not many people are champions, you know, and understand possibly within themselves what the difference is.

And that's why I'm annoyed, Peter, because I know this is the toughest ground to come to, the toughest place to win, and you take a draw here, snap, if you said a draw at Anfield, the way you're going to do it. You're going to snap your hand off. You're going to snap your

hand off. If you said the draw on field every day of the week you'd snap the hand off. However. If you're going to go and do it and get over the line and shock people shot the world

shot the country that you are going to be champions and title winners. You've got to go and

do something that surprises

people that you've not done the game. We're going to go and do it. And we're sat here again at the end of the game like it might come. I've tipped them for the title. I'm not gonna change after today. You know, I'm not because I think that there's an element of

belief that I have that I think

go on deck and rice. You can go and be that person who runs through. The God you can be that player that scores in this game. sharp when he came on. So there is the talent there to think they can go and do it but they've got to go and do it. It's thinking it, it's saying it, it's doing it.

Yeah I'm just wondering what order to do things in actually because we've got a lot of transfer business to do and maybe should we do Liverpool's first and all

the talk around Isak, Gahy, how are you reading that in the context of Liverpool? Liverpool, nine points, and the two games they've just played. The first game against Bournemouth was tough enough, we were here. But the two games they've just played, they had a right battle up at St James' Park on Monday night. To come out of there with a victory was incredible. And then to do this today, that is, that must give them massive confidence. If they can get Gae and Isak through the door, I mean, they're two starting players and Isak's one of the top centre-forwards in

the world. He's a real player. He's the one player, Isak, that I've seen give Saliba and Gabriel and Van Dijk a He's played in the last couple of seasons. He's played with Ibra and Gabrielle and Van Dyke a real hard time over this last couple of seasons. I think he's really

causing problems. A different level player. So I could take case done really well. The boy votes will talk about him. Maybe he looks like he just finding his feet still and you know how

we can do that team there today, with Geyi coming in as well, I thought Knaut had his best 78 minutes of the season as well, which was good for him because he's had a tough few weeks. I thought Kyrgios stuck at it, it was a tough game for him but he stuck at it and I thought Sobreslai was fantastic at right back. So look, for Liverpool to be on nine points the two games they've just had and think that those two could be entering the building off the back end of the international break they'll be absolutely buzzing and confident as hell.

Together with Vietz, as you just mentioned him so we may as well deal with him. I mean he is very expensive and I suppose he's bought as a point of difference isn't he? Someone who can do something special and you're speaking about him I think sympathetically because it's very very difficult to come in and just to have that magic moment, particularly given the fixtures, as you said, they've had.

Yeah, and he's had two difficult games. I think that anybody finds it difficult to find space against Arsenal. And obviously up at Newcastle on Monday night, it must have felt like a tornado had hit him. I mean, it was like a whirlwind up there, that game. It was incredible. It must have felt

like a tornado. It hits him. I mean, it was like a whirlwind up there that game. It was incredible. So I can understand why that's just. What the hell was that? I can imagine

whenever they have, they got back from St James's Park on

Monday night versus probably

thinking, Bloody hell, that was the that's the Premier League. Um. But it's interesting the first half. I'm thinking about the way he's playing. I was listening about him in the first half, and I was watching him quite a bit in the second half because Liverpool had the

ball at the back. And I'm sometimes you hear expressions

don't you buy coaches and

sometimes you say he's always on the move. I'm watching birds. He's always on the move and I'm thinking. Bloody stand still for a second. The opposite. I'm thinking stand the ball. It's just a little bit too quick. And then there's sort

of like drift between the lines. I'm thinking he's probably moving a bit too quick because I always think sometimes when. You're playing in the pocket in the hole. I used to see it from

a different side. I used to see it from being a defender, and there might be a player that you can see just drifting in the pocket. And I used to think that when they were moving, it the ball. You know, I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing. I think

that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good is, I think there's the element of being higher up the pitch by five or six, seven yards, and not going too deep,

that means that the midfield players for the opposition could pick you up easily and just shield in front. Almost feel like the center backs want to come in to get you rather than actually be the central midfield players are marking you. I think to me, They're the two things that

look. I'm not a coach, but I think I pretty much know what would cause me a problem. You know, played against the likes of young Franco's older and Bergkamp and Del Piero for

events is those types of players down that play in those areas and when they walk walking or when they're looking a little bit disinterested. When they're jogging, it's actually harder then to turn and change direction. You understand what I mean? So for me, I just think he maybe is a little bit predictable at this moment in time, maybe a little bit deep, but it's very early in his Liverpool their own. They're going to be playing a lot of football. They're going to be playing a lot of football today, and they'll be living full coach is

thinking, Okay, he needs a bit of coaching. He's not the finished article 115 million. This is a young lad. He needs work. He needs coaching. He needs something and he's got

the right man there in on a slot because he does get the best out of players. So yeah, an element of him fitting in and if he has Isak up front in front of him and Nekotika obviously in terms of either of them but if Isak comes in I mean they're gonna score an absolute bucketload of goals and you've got Salah and we mentioned Salah who had one of his probably most difficult games I've ever seen today I mean that was him in the second half you're expecting him

that little touch and that little sort of you know push to the far corner. His touch was off today and it was surprising.

Yeah, a lot to get through and people are going to want to hear you talk about Manchester United this week, I know. But before then, let's finish what you might call the big three, if we're allowed to say that. Yeah. And just in brief, Manchester City have lost today. There's a question, I think, obviously we weren't able to see much of the game, but around their goalkeeping situation which has become a topic. How do you read their business and

their current state of affairs? I actually watch most of the game. I came up here early today. I tend to at Anfield just to get clear of everything. It's got a nice position. I didn't think James Shafford was the problem today. I thought not sure if I'm going to be able to get a chance to get a chance to get a chance to get a chance to get a chance to get a chance to get a chance to get a chance to get a chance to get a chance to

get a chance to get a chance to the back four. I mean, I think it's a bit too early to assess, but he's a new left back and I look at Kusnoff at center back. I think. All right. Okay, Brian, I've got a chance. A few years ago. I mean, obviously on

the bench was okay. Can G and Diaz. So if that back for red. Stones a can G Diaz. Okay, you look at those four. You know, I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing. Okay You look at those four. I know they're a bit older in years

now, and you think there's four monsters there for beasts. They're not going to give you much of a chance. So there's an element of the Kyle Walker's left, you know, long ago, but

there's an element of looking at cities back for now and the first half, Ireland could have had two or three and the game could have been out of sight. So let's put it into context. But the fact that it's not out of sight and it's 1-0, I never felt City were going to keep a clean sheet or were comfortable looking at keeping a clean sheet. When City were 1-0 up two or three years ago, you could almost write the game off. They'd keep the ball, pop it around, suffocate teams with possession and eventually the team would have to do something and they would either see how one they'll win or they'd go and win two and three. That's not this Manchester City now

because with eight Nori at left back, with Mateus Nunez at right back or Rico Lewis, and with Kusanoff in the middle, then that's not a clean sheet back four anymore. And it's giving teams a chance, it's giving teams encouragement,

which means it puts pressure on the midfield the game. You know, it's a game. You're going to have to be a little bit more forward to score two and three. If you only score one. You know the bloody nose, and that's what's happened today and you are well done to brighten. They just keep every we said on the

gantry, didn't we? You're bright and bring these players on and you think to yourself if you want if you go and commentating on Brighton's there and then they leave, it's the same every single season. But Gruder, the good boy, it was a special goal, wasn't it? I loved the little touch-off, a great day for James Milner,

to score the penalty, you think about how old he is and the career he's had against his old club. But well done to Brighton, it had been a difficult start to the season for them, brilliant for them, but for City, I didn't think Trafford was the problem today, their own. They're not going to be able to do it. They're going to have to be a little bit better for them. And you're brilliant for them. But the

city I didn't think Trafford was the problem today. I think it may come back a little bit in moments where he's young and he's not quite sort of. You know, mature enough to be at

the level of Edison, who's been

an outstanding keeper for the to see what Pep's doing. He's got three stalwarts on the bench today and if he thinks they're past their best years or they're not quite fit or not quite ready and you're seeing Kusinov and you're seeing Aitonor and you're seeing Matthias Nunes, a lot of Premier League teams will score goals against City with that back four. They will, just simple as that because it's not anywhere near the level that

it has been over this last five, six years. Okay, Chelsea clearly had some good fortune yesterday. Yeah. We've all seen that. But their misfortune was Liam De Lappe getting injured. Yeah. And Nicholas Jackson flying.

Was it hamstring?

I think so, sorry. I would need to be told that.

Yeah, but you've mentioned Nicholas Jackson, sorry to cut across you Peter, but the idea of sort of sending him over to Bayern Munich alone. That's what I was going to ask you about. And the fact that Chelsea have obviously sort of got a ham...

I mean look it must be a bad injury, but if he's out for four to six weeks, which a normal hamstring would be, I know Roy mentioned last week about physios don't like pundits talking about injuries because they haven't got a clue what they're talking's been. I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I don't know what you're talking about, but I mean, look if the laps out before six weeks, why

would you? Why would you stop alone? I mean, that could have happened anytime. I can see why Nicholas Jackson is hurting and bitter. But I can also see why Chelsea is a football club.

They've got to protect themselves. The deal's not gone and he's got to go and do it. And then this happens. Not sure how you get around it, because the reality of it is he would have needed to go over. It's obviously the transfer window's closing tomorrow. It's an unfortunate situation where I can see both sides.

I think I saw something earlier that his agent is saying, there's no playing back. Well, there will be if Chelsea don't change their mind. Bayern Munich talking to other strikers, potentially thinking the deal's off. But yeah, I can feel for Nicholas Jackson, because he... Yeah, I can see why he's sore.

We seem to be in a transfer window where that's included, and that's sort of the flip side of what I'm about to say. Kind of all's fair in love and war. And I wonder if Chelsea are playing hardball with Jackson now because they can how you feel about the Isak Wieser situations?

Well how long have we got? 24 hours haven't we till the actual transfer window closes and they're leaving it right to the death aren't they? I don't know what's happening with Isak because you would have expected the noise to have started after Monday night's game had finished at St James' Park, wouldn't you? I mean, why haven't they just, if they were going to do it, why haven't they done it in the last few days? Liverpool waiting and saying, look, come to us. I mean, this is a club, to be fair, that masters at a pool. Um. Newcastle are rich. Their

owners are rich and to be fair when you're dealing with rich people, they don't like being messed around either. Um when you're dealing with pride, proud people, you don't like

being messed around. But for Eddie, how you want his squad in this situation over? You want? You want this are in? Um I can't pronounce the boy's name from Germany that they've done the deal and you've also bought a Volta Mardi. Yeah, so they've got one in but they need Vissa. So there's a lot gonna happen in this next few hours. I don't think there'll be many club secretaries sleeping

tonight in the Premier League. I think they'll be up all night. But yeah, you think it at all get done, wouldn't you? But again, I'm not quite sure. I understand why it didn't get done before the Newcastle-Liverpool game on Monday, that was a hotbed enough as it was, but I expected Wednesday, Thursday it'd start to move, and it hasn't moved, and we're now Sunday evening and it's still not moving, and I'm sure Arne Slott, who's on that screen there laughing and smiling, he's being asked about it by Patrick Davison,

and probably pushing it back and saying, any clue what's going on even though he will. And on the other screen as we talk Aston Villa and Palace have just walked out at Villa Park. Villa without Emi Martinez keeping goal this evening.

Where's he going? Well that's what I'm about to ask you. Look I was at Old Trafford yesterday and I know it's a well-told story. I'm not going to sort of start going into sort of emotional language but it's just really clear that Manchester United need to bring a goalkeeper in. They weren't brilliant yesterday, but I thought they should have been 2-3 up at half-time, I thought they missed some big chances, I thought they were far better than Burnley,

but you know going in at 1-0 that Burnley are going to come and have a period, and obviously then you end up with a nervous second half because there's just a there's just an anxiousness around United at this moment in time and you know late on it was a it was a big relief it was a big relief and it was a much-needed win doesn't sort of doesn't sort of clear the clouds completely I think they'll come back in a couple of weeks there's big games against City and against Chelsea coming up in the Premier League but after Grimsby on Wednesday night, where I actually

thought the manager got it wrong on Wednesday night, not necessarily in the fact that he didn't watch penalties or the fact that you know he was, sort of his interviews after were a bit strange, but I think going playing two young centre-backs at Grimsby tells me that you weren't respecting what Grimsby are. You know I know League Two football is a lot lower level than Premier League but I've the way we've been playing. We've been playing really well. We've been playing really well.

We've been playing really well. We've been playing really well. Steve Bruce and you to put balls on top of us into that channel and diagonals at Grimsby you know, Alex Ferguson wouldn't have done that. You know you pay respects to teams you know you physically match them particularly in defensive areas and I think it was a tough game to put those two young kids in that was the biggest problem I felt in the game and gave Grimsby encouragement but after that they get knocked out on penalties the managers a bizarre interview he says

some things that make you think he's all over the place and that he's been. He's been very, very hard. He's been knocked out on penalties. The managers are bizarre interview. He says some things that make you think he's all over the place and that he's going to

resign and he explained that his emotions are all over the place after games, and he thinks a lot of things and that's fair enough. We know that from him. Yesterday was a was it was a good moment

for him in the end, but it's And coming back to it, the key question that you ask, if your goalkeeper is making mistakes, it undermines everything that you do. And that ground is the most unforgiving for goalkeepers. The fans get behind managers, the fans get behind all the players, but that, I've said it before about the Manchester United goalkeeper spot,

and I'll say it again, the toughest position in English football, bar none. That is the position that gets, you know, if you give goals away at United, and you're a goalkeeper, you'll get scrutinized heavily.

Centre forward, just behind it, I think, in terms of if you're a young striker or a striker that's not scoring goals. Going back to Gary Birtles or Andy Cole when he first came, or other strikers that basically sort of don't quite hit the target enough

or you don't score enough. You know, so there's a lot of pressure on Sesco. That's building a little bit as well by the fact that yesterday I was in the stadium and Kunye went off, which was a bad moment for United losing him.

And everyone, I think, thought Sesco was coming on and he brought Xherxey on, the way that we've got to play in the game. It's a bit of a positional perspective, but

there was just that expectation

that says go and come on. So look. United. A lot to think about, but you have to have a goalkeeper that's got a massive personality and character, and it's not about the fact that

won't make a mistake. I'm actually United goalkeeper Liverpool goalkeeper. Any goalkeeper will make mistakes, how you recover from them, how you look in your body language and how you look authoritative and I have to say the two that they've got are not going to fill that. So they have to get a goalkeeper in my mind, I've thought it for a number of months, you know, every United fan thinks it and it needs to and the midfield is equally as big a problem by the way

but I think that that's going to be too much of an ask but that's a big problem in midfield as well you know there's holes in there like you wouldn't believe. So if I were a Manchester United fan I suppose the the big question I'd ask you eyeball to eyeball after a horrible horrible night for United at Grimsby and then a little bit of relief as you say is it's kind of Gary is it gonna be okay you know? I don't know Peter. How do you feel about that? How do you feel about Ruben Amirim and his body language? And where United are at?

Peter, I'm so positive after the first game because of the level of performance, with a bit of caveat that, look, it's one game. And I thought the Fulham game was a big game in going cementing it and hitting it home. And look, they could again have had a couple of goals, I thought, in the first 10 minutes. the way. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game.

It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's's playing. He's playing. He's playing. He's playing. I think right. Just be solid at Grimsby, and I think

you change the team too much to be honest with you at this moment in time, thinking about the actual mentioned before the two young center backs either side of Harry Maguire. No,

don't do that. Maybe bringing them on with 20 minutes to go. He's always in the last 10-12 years, because of the emotions that are there, because of the games they've got coming up in the next couple of weeks. But I do hope so because I think there are elements of the way in which they play that you can work on, but then there are aspects of in the last week whereby Fulham, Grimsby and Burnley yesterday,

there were parts of those games where you were looking at them and thinking it's a worry, it's a worry and they're gonna get opened up again. There's a lot better teams than Fulham and Burnley in this league and there's a lot better team than Grimsby in this league and they've had problems against those three teams so it's a concern and we won't truly know but it's worrying about how quickly it can go from being quite positive after Arsenal to going like that. So it was a good win yesterday, you know, the fans left I think thinking, well, we got the winner. It's always a

nice thing to get a winner late on. I thought the lad from Burnley, he was just a bit silly, wasn't he? Just holding on for too long. But let's just wait and see in the next couple of weeks. Big game against Chelsea coming up in two weeks time. We've covered a lot there so maybe just in conclusion we've reached the first punctuation point in the Premier League season three weeks in what are you thinking? Great win for West Ham. Oh yes. That's what I'm thinking. I mean there was a lot of trouble there so I think we need just to give them a special mention.

Jarrod Bowen obviously, again, scoring after what happened the other night, so that was a big, big win for them today. Everton?

Of course.

Two really good wins for Everton.

And Sunderland.

Sunderland, very good. Yeah, look, there's been a lot of good things. I think, look, the Premier League's exciting. It gives you something, whether it's the VAR, the Premier League. It's exciting. It's exciting. It's

Premier League exciting. It

gives you something whether it's

the VR, the referees, the goals today, the. Teams winning, losing matches that you don't expect players not quite living up to solve. The standard that you thought they would be. And

maybe you're thinking after three games, you're sort of hearing them being written off. And that's what we do in a while now. It's been happening for a while now. However, all these things happen in the Premier League,

and I actually thought it for quite a bit now, and whether it's just this September one, but this September, October in November International and I've been an international player and

international coach, so I've been on the other side of it where you really enjoy these the four games in the next few weeks and maybe bunch the actual sort of international games together maybe in November. I'm not sure how they do it but look that's not for us there's enough to fix your problems as it is without us contributing to them but it would be nice at the start of a season to see more than just three games and then a break but for some teams a break

to see more than just three games and then a break but for some teams a break will be I think quite welcome. Sure well have a good one.
