And I think, you know, Iriola was interesting after the match when he talks about the fact that I probably shouldn't have changed both the centre-halves at once and maybe that led to a bit of the kind of madness late on.
But, you know, the reality is I think Liverpool were just in cruise control, weren't they? I think they just absolutely battered Lask and the quality gap between the two sides was so evident throughout.

And I think, like I say, I know it is only Lask, but there's a certain way to beat them.
