00:00You've always got to keep context, I mean Mo's an unbelievable player but he's playing
00:05in a fantastic team, flying at the moment, how's it to say if you put Sonny in Liverpool's
00:10team I reckon his goalscoring return would be decent.
00:14It's hard for our players at the moment, guys like Solanke and Kulosevsky, Johnson, they're
00:21trying awfully hard to be the best they can be but there is context to that in that we're
00:27a team that's very disrupted, he's not playing with the fluency he can play with, we're asking
00:33players to play in positions that they're totally unfamiliar with and that has an effect.
00:40So to me it's about context, but when we're at our best I still think you'll see that
00:49Sonny's return in terms of his ability to score goals and be real effective for us,
00:53I don't think that's diminished at all.
00:56He's going through a tough job but we're going through a tough job and I think that sort
01:00of goes hand in hand.
01:01Mo's a world class player but you put him in our team at the moment I'm not sure he
01:05would have the same impact because of the situation we're in as a group.
