00:00The improvement of Lewis, first of all, because of the goal scoring. But I think the way that
00:05Liverpool play, and if you look at Mo Salah, Mo Salah's improved. Yeah, he hasn't scored
00:10massive amount of goals compared to the likes of Erling Haaland in particular, but his gameplay,
00:16his control, his pass choices, his effectiveness, his scoring, his assists, whatever, are up
00:21there with his normal standard, but he's playing better. And I think because ball retention
00:25is a massive thing, especially in the final third. So his ball retention is much better
00:29because Liverpool seem to play a lot more through the middle. It frees up the space,
00:33I think, on the wides, and therefore, Lewis Dee has more space. The goals he scored on
00:36the weekend, good passes, whatever, but he's got a little bit more space and the skill
00:40to be able to take advantage of that. Mo on the right-hand side will have the opportunities
00:44to do that as well. So I think where Arne has effectively changed the style of play,
00:50it's allowed the wingers to really go for it. And also, as well, to say, if you're improving
00:54as a player with your touch control and ball retention, then that's only going to enhance
00:58the team's output. And I think you'll see a lot more higher performances from Liverpool
01:03players. I mean, Gravenberg, it's like a new signing. It's mad. As I say, considering the
01:10squad is the same squad, effectively, he looks like a new signing. Mo, as I said, has improved.
01:16Lewis Diaz, as you say, has improved. And we're talking about three of the most dangerous
01:21players possibly in the Liverpool team. So well done, Arne Slott.
