Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Please be seated.

Hello, City Central.

I bring greetings to you from the congregation of Tacoma Central Presbyterian Church.

I get to meet you all finally.

Hmm.

[laughs]

I, I have to be careful because John knows that, and you all know that you eulogize over this guy, you know? And again, another thing, the topic that we mentioned before, started off as a winger, a right winger, ends up playing center midfield.

So once again, adaptation, changing for the collective.

I c- I know repetitive, forgive me, but that's what this is all about, you know? I think the guy ...

and again, I said before, he w- was what I aspired to be both on the pitch and off the pitch, and I failed on both, but at least I tried.

Um, incredible player.

I don't know how you can separate these three.

I really don't.

Obviously a lot more midweek games than he's, he's used to, and managing that and needing a, a greater squad depth.

Yeah, for squad depth, but he also turned around and said, you know, "What we do is that we play, recover, play, recover." 'Cause players prefer to play than train, you know.

So he, again, he, he, he, n- it didn't phase him.

You know, he said, "Yeah, I haven't done it before." It's a challenge, as he said, but, but great.

What a great challenge.

He likes to be in a place where you're in a, all competitions.

But you're right, he will need, uh, more strength and depth, but also he'll call up, he'll call upon the under-21 players to come to.

Frustrating for them too.

Yeah.

He'd be nervous 'cause, you know, at the end of the day you're going into a whole new setup, you know.

But once again, it's about how he embraces everybody, the culture and what have you, and, and brings his own culture into it.

And it'd, it'd be different this time because, 'cause of the World Cup, he'll have certain m- some ones of his senior players missing, you know.

So while the, the, in a strange way, that'll help him because it'll give him a chance to see some of the younger players, you know, in the academy or what have you, you know, see what he's got coming behind, you know.

So, and it gives them the chance to come in and impress, you know.

So I think, um, it'll be a very exciting time for him and for all, you know.

So yeah, expand on why it's so pivotal that he gets his, his people next to him.

[laughing]

That's good.

Listen, it's absolutely brilliant.

First time I went, I, I went very short notice.

Uh, it's on a huge lake.

It's about an hour and a half from Oslo, uh, about half an hour from Lillehammer, which was the Olympic Village.

So we, we're trying to get a little trip in there.

There you go.

To begin with, gents, if you don't mind, sort of in your own words, just tell us a little bit about how brilliant Andy Robertson's been for Liverpool since he arrived.

I think he's been magnificent, and y- you, you, you used the word legend.

Uh, it's bandied about an awful lot these days, you know, but he certainly is one of them, without a shadow of a doubt.

It's always been a b- bit of a difficult position to fill, hasn't it, Tom, you know, the left back position, and I think he's done with great aplomb, and I think, um, he'll be a big miss for us, and all we ever do is just wi- wish him the best, whatever he does moving forward, 'cause as I said to you, the word's been used, bandied about, thrown around everywhere, but he is a true legend-

Mm-hmm.

Massive influence in the dressing room, and all good teams have good dressing rooms and good people in the dressing room, and he was one of that core that made us so strong.

You know, call people into, into, into question if they needed it, you know, and I think that'll be a big miss as well-

Again, the numbers speak for themselves, but what an incredible time he's had at Liverpool Football Club, Sal.

Well, I think everything we've just said about Robbo, you can say the same about Mo.

Just that one, one's a defender, one's an attacker.

You know, I have to say, Jack, superlatives go out the window with this guy.

You know, his, its, in terms of his assists, his goals, again in the dressing room.

You know, again, I mentioned, I repeat before, he is a legend, always be a legend, and that, again, I repeat, that gets bandied about very, very easily.

But when you talk about these two guys, it is apt to call them two legends, and th- as you said before, Dan, the, the figures speak for themselves, mate.

He, he is one of those top legends.

And it was widespread celebration, Sammy Lee, which didn't go unnoticed by the Liverpool players walking

in.

Well, certainly not by us and certainly not by Virgil as well.

And seriously, folks, this tie's not over.

This tie's not over.

You know, they're a little bit exuberant in their celebrations.

But as I said, they've got to come back to Anfield, yeah? You know, and it was disappointing tonight in as much as the way we conceded the goal, Peter.

that they started so well? They might have even been
