Jay Spearing

In this episode of The Reaction, we are going to bring you Andoni Iraola, James McConnell, and keeper Guram Mamardashvili as well.

Joining me pitch side were Martin Kelly and Jay Spearing.

[upbeat music] Liverpool are through to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Then we're very grateful to Dominik Szoboszlai with that strike, a beauty of a strike, that gave us all a big sigh of relief, Jay, I think.

Rio Ngamoa will speak to us as well with his thoughts.

Plus, of course, studio pundits Phil Thompson and Jay Spearing will be speaking with us as well.

Never quiet these games, are they, Jay? But I think overall, on balance, Liverpool deserve the three points.

Yeah, I think Madrid started really, really well.

We wanted quality to come in and actually either come in for Caicedo later on in the season or start alongside him.

Is Jay Spearing available? No, it's fine.

He was playing high up the pitch as a box crusher, so this is not what this new system is about.

Do you like him as a person? No, I don't like him as a person.

[laughs]

Jay Spearing.

Harvey Elliott's probab-

It's a fantastic point, but I know full well that that coaching staff will be analyzing that game, and the first thing he'll say is, "Win your individual battles," for sure.

And as Jay- Jason said as well, individual decision-making in the final third, it's gotta be better.

Mm.

The go- the goal highlighted it for me.
