00:00So, well, starting with Liverpool, I mean, an incredible change over the summer with
00:07Arnie Schlott coming in and we spoke about his goals and how he first addressed the sort
00:11of press situation. He spoke to the press and said that, you know, they want to carry
00:16on the success from Jurgen Klopp's time. It's been quite a good start, really. Obviously,
00:20the mishap at Anfield against Nottingham Forest may be a bit of a, you know, a strange one
00:26in there, but other than that, they've been pretty solid. A lot of clean sheets, a lot
00:30of goals as well. How do you sort of assess life under Schlott so far at Anfield?
00:36I think it's been as seamless as it possibly could, to be quite honest with you. As positive
00:42as it could, you know, filling the gargantuan void that was left in Jurgen Klopp at Arnie
00:49Schlott has gone about his business really quite quietly. You know, he had a subdued
00:55start to his reign and he had to take a little bit of flak because of the lack of transfers,
01:02but he was quite adamant that Liverpool didn't need a lot of players through the door. And,
01:07you know, I think he maybe looked to Inforbal, the proof will be in the pub, and when he
01:11would pitch, he seems, you know, quite a pragmatic manager, quite straight down the middle, really.
01:16And that's how it's been, as you say, they won and missed half against Nottingham Forest,
01:20which did seem to rankle him in the performance, considering he actually likes playing in his
01:26low blocks. But they bounced back, they beat AC Milan in the Champions League, and then
01:30they were good against AFC Bournemouth. I mean, they blew AFC Bournemouth apart in the
01:36first half. Luis Diaz, Arnie Schlott seems to unlock his goal scoring prowess. He's scored
01:43five now, two great goals, two really composed finishes, and a fantastic finish from Darwin
01:49Nunes. Funny because Arnie Schlott in his press conference after it said that he hoped that Nunes
01:54wasn't going to shoot and he was very much proved wrong. But I think it was interesting though,
01:59after it, for all that, you know, the 3-0 win, he still said there's aspects that we need to
02:03improve. You know, we said that Karim Keller, who was in goal for Alisson Becker, who was injured,
02:09you know, he was probably more active than Alisson's been throughout the season because
02:13he maybe created allowed Bournemouth to have too many chances, particularly in the closing stages.
02:19So he's not looking at a 3-0 win and saying, oh, this is all great. He still knows there's very
02:24much areas that Liverpool need to improve. And yes, they've had four clean sheets and five games
02:30in the Premier League. But, you know, when he's coming out with comments like that, he's quite
02:35clearly not happy fully yet. He still wants Liverpool to tighten up in certain areas. But
02:42yeah, there's been some really good signs so far.
