“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker such as Wirtz, critics will regret if spoken against. An outstanding player. [Hugo] Ekitike, excellent performer. It’s a really good balanced team. You don’t have to worry regarding the Reds, they'll bounce back.”

It was an incredible shock for all the boys too. Nobody at Liverpool will ever use it as an excuse though it's a fact. You walk in a dressing room which he filled completely. Handling this on a personal level is not easy. Impossible.”
