00:00 So, Will, looking at Liverpool, they are seemingly experiencing this run again,
00:04 where they are going to the newly promoted sides away from home and they're not really getting the job done.
00:10 It's sort of been a theme over the last season as well,
00:12 and obviously looting away that they've come away with at a late point.
00:16 Why is this happening?
00:18 What sort of ingredients does Klopp need to add or take away to ensure that they are getting these results away at the newly promoted sides?
00:27 Spot on. I think last season they took one point from a potential nine on the road against the newly promoted sides.
00:34 That was the only opening day against Fulham.
00:35 They were actually quite lucky to grab a draw there, Liverpool, and obviously got beat by Forrest and Bournemouth.
00:41 And now, as you rightly say, they salvaged a point at looting.
00:46 Obviously, you've always got teams like Luton coming up and Forrest.
00:50 It was their big game. They haven't been in the Premier League for a while.
00:53 That was a massive rivalry back in the 80s. So, you wonder if these teams got a little bit of extra motivation.
01:00 Liverpool underestimated them a little bit going there, they being too complacent potentially.
01:06 They just struggled to... I wouldn't say they didn't even struggle to break Luton down, because they had chances.
01:11 Not a lot of guilt headstones.
01:12 Obviously, the Dabo Muniz, one at the back post, where he fluffs his lines completely.
01:17 And he has a couple from long range, and Mo Salah put one over the bar.
01:20 So, it wasn't like they didn't create chances. They just lacked any sort of cohesion, really.
01:26 And maybe Ian Clopp's tactics, he's deploying a home, don't quite work away.
01:32 Maybe he needs to change things up a little bit, because Liverpool are quite possession-based now.
01:38 They're not that counter-attacking team.
01:40 Maybe he'll need to go back to that on the road, where he says to teams, 'Right, you have the ball, because we're away from home.
01:46 It's not our prerogative to go and take the game to it.
01:49 It's yours, it's your job as being the home team to come at us and break us down.'
01:54 Would Liverpool want to phantom a seed?
01:56 I wouldn't know, but if it's getting the results away from home, I don't think a lot of people would care too much.
02:02 And then, obviously, you had a bit of an interrupted preparation to it, to Luton, obviously, with what's going on with Luis Diaz.
02:12 And the cup game at Bournemouth, with Liverpool having to get the coach home.
02:17 I personally don't think that's a massive thing myself, but once you're in that cycle as a footballer, maybe it does affect you a little bit, because you're so used to that.
02:25 So maybe there are a couple of mitigating circumstances, but Liverpool want to be certainly in the top four.
02:32 Then when they go to the Diver New League promoted side this season, then they need to be taking three points, because you can almost certainly guarantee that the other teams around them probably will be.
02:41 Let's be quite frank, going to Sheffield, Easton and Burnley, who have been poor themselves this season, you'd be expecting your Man City, your Arsenal, your Newcastle to go and get three points there.
02:53 So that's exactly what Liverpool need to go and do.
