It's been a cracking night in the Champions League in terms of entertaining football. Not necessarily that much of success as far as English sides. Our concern, Newcastle Thrash 7-2 in Barcelona, a T-time to go out 8-3 on aggregate. Spurs, admirable in beating athletic imagery to 3-2, but they go out after that first leg performance. Liverpool are the side that join Arsenal, the English side in the quarter finals. They beat in Galatasaray 4-0, tonight 4-1 on aggregate. And Bayern, who were already through after thrashing Atalanta, 6-1 in the first leg, put another 4 past them tonight. Atalanta got one, so that's 10-2 on aggregate. Thoughts and reactions come from those games.

2:04It started Amfield, though, watched by Paul Robinson and Ian Dennis. We spoke at half-time, Ian, didn't we, that Liverpool had created many chances in that first half, but hadn't taken them, that they weren't ruthless enough, or that changed in the second half. It certainly did, yeah. I mean, this was a dominant display and Liverpool breathing their way into the last eight. But as you say, they were blown away, Galatasaray, with those three goals in 11 second half minutes, but you think that Liverpool also missed a first half penalty. They had two goals disallowed, and twice they hit the crossbar. Liverpool comfortably threw for a quarter-final date with the holders, Paris Saint-Germain, and the first leg will be in the French capital. Paul Robinson, alongside Ian, took a while for them to put them away, but Galatasaray were never really a threat, were they? No, I know they've stood at times this season, Liverpool, and coming off the back of a disappointing draw with Tottenham at the weekend, the game that they should have won, and a lot of the fans left Anfield disgruntled, feeling that the team didn't put the team away, where they should have won it by half-time,

3:06and actually the performance that they got tonight was so dominant, it was so impressive from Liverpool. I think the Liverpool fans will go away from here tonight, that we absolutely delighted, but it'll be like, why can't we do that on a regular basis, the consistency? But I think you focus on the positives tonight, and the second half, they were just superb, they really were, for all the possession and the territorial advantage that they've had, not just tonight, but in other games, they really capitalised on it tonight, they looked sharp, they looked quick, whatever he said to them at half-time really had the desired effect. Most Salah almost looked back to his best, he's interchanged the set-up for Eckertike, the finish for his goal, he looked sharp, he looked at it, he was chasing the ball down, supposedly, I've been instrumental to everything that they do, and for me he's been their best player this season, and everything just seemed to click. The fluidity, the front foot, the closing down, the performance in the final third, that Liverpool performance in the second half is arguably one of the best of the season. Listen, Galatasaray didn't make it too difficult for them, but let's not underestimate, this is a Galatasaray that's already beaten them twice this season, they sat seven points clear at the top of the Turkish League, and they came here with a one goal advantage. So for all Galatasaray were pretty passive tonight,

4:08Liverpool didn't allow them into the game, they were very good. Steven Warner is also with us, Liverpool fans going the way tonight, going, why can't we do that more often? Steven Gerard said to TNT, exactly the same thing, Steven, tactically spot on, perfect night for Anna Slot, but the big question is, why can't we see that consistently? Is that your question too? Yeah, I think so. It's a toss of a coin every week, which Liverpool's going to turn up, isn't it? And I think that's the feeling at the moment. I think it's, how do they motivate themselves? I think that's going to be the big thing. It's almost like at times the game becomes too easy. They come a little bit passive in the way that they play, they leave themselves to open at times. But I think Robo's right in what he said tonight, the attitude of all the players was spot on. I think this system helped them go into a 4-4-2, play in Frimpong at right back, having Sobba's lie in his preferred position, which is either the right hand side or the four or just drifting to that field area, which I thought he was brilliant at tonight. But a little bit different role for Mohamed Seller as well, well playing through the middle, alongside Ekateke.

5:09I think that worked well as well. But the big question is now, is that Robo touched on it there. Galatasaray, bang average, they were poor tonight. So this was an easy game for Liverpool. Yes, they made like work a bit and they were, the attitude was good. But the question will be now, is can you do it away at Brighton on Saturday because we've seen shoots of recoveries throughout the season. And then the next game, they haven't lived up to the standards again. And I know you talk about mentality there, but one of the things you said at the start was Sobba's lie back in this more natural position. If he is Liverpool's best player this season, which I don't think anybody would disagree with, surely you start by playing him where he wants to be played, needs to be played rather than sacrificing him. Yeah, well, the most interesting thing about that is, is last season, Anastot spoke about Sobba's lie being higher up the pitch and the effect he has for pressing and how instrumental he is to that. And you're taking that out the team and then you're asking McAllister to press,

6:10Gravenberg to press, they're not great at that. You need someone else who's going to counter press and he's brilliant at that. So you are taking away his best skill set. And you're asking him to do it from 60 yards further behind, the pitch as well to be able to create, to be able to join up in forward areas. Well, he's just not capable of doing that. What we saw from him today was his best, the way he presses, the way he gets after people, the energy that he brings throughout the pitch. It's infectious. So he needs to be playing in that higher air, or that more forward advanced position. Because the other thing that I'm focusing on with you is, you know, fullback was your position. People, I know Frimpong's had some injury problems as well, but then there's also this school of thought where Frimpong's more of a win back than a fullback. But surely it's easier to adapt Frimpong to being a fullback and then capitalising on Sobba's lies strengths and using Sobba's lies a fullback and putting Frimpong in as a sort of understudy for Salah, which is where he's been used a few times. Yeah, and I think what we saw tonight from the system

7:11was how high Frimpong played on that right hand side. And so it was like tucked in, he played a little bit narrower. So Frimpong then becomes effectively a win back. And if needed, so it was like, we'll drop back into that right back position and help fill in for him. But yeah, listen, you've got to play Frimpong as a right back in this situation because they don't have Conner Bradley. If Conner Bradley's fit, he's the number one right back. But it's an issue that Liverpool have got that they found themselves in after losing Trent Alexanderano, that they knew Conner Bradley was going to be... Well, he struggled with injuries right throughout his short Liverpool career. But we know he's got those problems. Frimpong's never really been a natural right back. He covers three positions. And that's probably why Liverpool bought him as well because they thought, when Mahamud Salah goes away to Afghan, he can cover that. If needed, he can play some games in that position. But I don't think he was ever the player that was going to play 20-30 games in that right back position because I don't think he's naturally very comfortable in that position. Either but he's better suited than Sub-Ozly

8:11because like you've spoken about before, you lose the qualities of Sub-Ozly higher up the pitch. Stephen, there's been a lot of tinkering with Anna Slot this season. I don't think he's really found his best 11, but watching him tonight, they look settled. This 11 looks like it can be the 11 to take him now into the last stages of the FA Cup, the Champions League, and to try and finish well in the Premier League. Yeah, I completely agree. I think it's trying to settle on a... Not only a team, but a system as well. You think of Inter-Malano way when Liverpool played really well. It was the night Muhammad Salah was, or he didn't play in that game. But Liverpool played a 4-4-2 in that game as well. And the team played really well within that system. And I think it's not only the personnel, but you've also got to look at the system. And at the moment, that system is getting the best out of these players and also out of the team as a collective. So maybe he stumbled upon something. But with Anna Slot, we know he likes to tinker and he likes to change things. And that's the problem at the moment. Well, and at some point, is that called come back?

9:13And then all the fun and games start, don't they? Exactly. And then also, as well, you've got Ingemoa, who's being an exception in his last few games, who's going to be pushing as well. So, yeah, that's what you expect at the top teams. But when you need results now, who can you turn to? Who can you look at and say, they're going to give me a top performance here? Because when we talk about players being inconsistent, I thought Kanate was superb tonight, but he was terrible away from home last week. So that inconsistency, when he's at his best, he's very, very good. When he's at his worst, he's very, very bad. There's no middle ground with him. And that's what Liverpool need to find now. Is that consistency from now till the end of the season? We could hear now from Anna Slot. Yeah, from start to finish, I think we played the game. I was hoping for. The players were hoping for and the fans were hoping for. Not only we played from start to finish the perfect game, our fans as well, because from the start, they were not accepting what we thought would happen. And what happened was that they were tried to create a situation where the energy would run out of the stadium

10:13by making sure there was not much playing time. But our fans reacted great to that, and our players kept on going. So a great dynamic between fans and players and almost the perfect game from us, but also from, but definitely from our fans. So Andros is with us thanks to Paul and Ian at Amfield. Let's talk Spurs who found some positives tonight in beating Athletico Madrid 3-2. Would you not say Chris Coles? Absolutely. And I'm sure everyone who was here today, Bar Andy Reed maybe thought tonight was a very, very positive performance for Spurs. They were at it from the off. They created plenty of chances. They played like you expect Tottenham to play at home in the Champions League, big knockout game, big side in town. They didn't really give Athletico any peace. There were some eye-catching individual performances. His young archie Gray again, very eye-catching in the middle of midfield. Mattis Tell probably had his best game in a Spurs shirt. Colum Juan, he scored a good goal. Two goals for Javi Simons.

11:15So much to like about Spurs that you are left questioning quite how they are where they are in the Premier League. And if they play like they did tonight in the running, then you'd think they would be absolutely fine. And it was shown by the scenes at the end of the game when everyone stayed, applauded all the players. We had that strange phenomenon of the Athletico Madrid fans very happy understandably because they're through. And the Spurs fans quite happy because they've seen their team win first time in eight games, first under Igor Tudor. There's lots to like. Although, although right at the end, Igor Tudor walked straight down the tunnel, didn't he, Andy Reed? I don't know if you saw that on your monitor. I mean, as soon as the final was some blue, he was down that tunnel. I'm not, didn't I know this to me, I've not that I saw. I didn't sort of stay out to hear the applause. Yeah, I thought that was very strange. And I thought it was a bit unnecessary. I mean, he hasn't had kind of much positivity since he's come in. We know that some of the performances haven't been great. You pick up a win tonight. You think, right, let's get out. Let's get the fans on board.

12:15Let's kind of give them a bit of a clap and make sure that when they turn up here on Sunday, they're the really kind of behind the team. So, look, he's lost the tie. And he knows that the team have gone out of the Champions League, but you still need to take any shoots of kind of positivity that you can get. And there's certainly where some tonight. I don't, Andross, really want to repeat the whole conversation that we've just had on Liverpool. But there are certain things you could level at Spurs the same way, even more so to a certain extent. They need those performances from Tau, from Simon's in particular, who've both flicked this season. They need them at that level between now and the end of this season. Yes, but I think in a way, it was an easy game in terms of the three goals down coming into the game. They know that just show a bit of effort, show a bit of fight, show a bit of determination, we'll get the fans on our side. And I think it's going to be a completely different game on when they play for us on the weekend. Spurs are not going to accept the fans,

13:16they're not going to accept, oh, they're working hard, oh, they're trying, oh, they're trying, no, they need to win this game. So I think tonight was a bit of a free hit. The weekend is where the pressure is on, the weekend is where you have to put away the chances of score the goals. I suppose because Andy, that atmosphere that was there tonight, it's not going to be, as Andross has said, it's not going to be like that. Is it on Sunday? No, it's probably not. I do agree with Andross. I mean, if you look at what let go of Madrid, they knew that they had a three goal advantage coming into the game and they didn't really go after the game, particularly in the early stages, which allowed Tottenham the opportunity to kind of come onto them, which then and torn got the crowd gone. And you know, when they got that goal, then you're thinking, okay, yeah, there's something to go with. It will be completely different on Sunday. It's a tough game for both of them. Two teams that are really struggling for form in the Premier League. So it's interesting, what I did like about the Tottenham situation tonight was when we seen the team sheets and look like with Dragerson coming into the team, it was going to be a three at the back.

14:16But they didn't, Dragerson played it right back, Poro played a little bit higher and they kind of went after the game a little bit more. And I taught the formation, walked for them in terms of the game tonight. So that's what these Tottenham fans want to see. They want to see positivity. They want to see the team playing on the front four and being aggressive, jumping in midfield, winning tackles and then when they do win the ball back, playing some decent football and playing some good attacking football. I still do think that there's a weakness and there's, you know, you see by the goals to concede it tonight, there's a weakness there and that when they turn over the ball and that you can get at the back line and you can't claim to cause them problems. So they're going to have to short out of particularly when they're pressing in that four or four two formation like they did tonight. I agree, but I'm looking towards the weekend and Richardlison's obviously suspended for today's game. He has to play. I think his energy is infectious. It gets everyone go. I think he has to play. But then I look at Colomani's score tonight. Tell was probably their most dangerous player. Javi Simmons had a very good game. So really, who are those three has to come out for Richardlison on the weekend?

15:17Oh, it's that. I tell you one, Joss, it sounds like you go back to the Aussie ID list days of five up front. There, really, for special, it sounds like, and do. Yeah, no, I think Colomani will come out of the team and I think Michelle is and we'll go back in. That's just my, my thoughts on it. I mean, Colomani scored the goal tonight and he did do okay at times, but he wasn't, he wouldn't say he was kind of scendulating, you know, you wouldn't say no, you couldn't leave him out of the team. So I think Michelle is and comes back in. I mean, this in a good way. Richardlison's a nuisance, isn't he? We somebody there, you know, you don't want to kind of play against, you know, so what he comes back into it, we scored the goal last week at Amfield and he will bring that bit of energy. But look, you say I think, you know, with, with, with employers behind in tell and Simmons, I'd be interested to see what he does at the weekend with Pedro Poro and whether he continues to look at him in that kind of right wing position because he actually done okay, he's even gone forward, he's got decent delivery into the box and he actually linked the quite well. So be interested to see what he does with him.

16:17I think Howesery is the word you were looking for rather nuisance, wasn't it? I don't know, I like the word nuisance and I know a lot of nuicences, so yeah. Let me, you just stay here for this bit and Andrew says I was here as well, but when you look at the bigger picture here, Newcastle, Newcastle conceded seven to Barcelona earlier and go out eight, three on aggregate. So they've conceded eight over two legs. Spurs have conceded seven over two legs. Manchester City five over two legs and Chelsea eight over two legs to Parasazure Man. So you can say Andy, can't you look, that they've had some tough draws of the English sides here in the main, you know, they didn't get a spot with all due respect as sporting or a Bodo glimps or whatever. So they've had, they've had difficult, they've had difficult ties, but they've been absolutely walloped in the not, not like gone out three, two or four, three,

17:18they have been walloped. Yeah, they have and I do think that there is a bit of arrogance around the kind of Premier League and, you know, I think at times, I don't know whether it's media, whether it's players, coaching staff, it's difficult to put your finger on, but I do think that there is a degree of arrogance that the Premier League towards some of the other leagues and some of the teams in the other leagues and you can't underestimate some of these teams that are absolutely top and you go into some of the games and you think you can just go out and run all over the top of them and you can just go out and pass them off the park and then you quickly realize when you come out against some of these teams that they can hit you particularly on the counter attack. If you come out and you leave yourself exposed, you leave your back line exposed, they can really, really hoard you and I think that that's probably a level of arrogance of some of the teams thinking, well, we can go toe to toe with these, we can press them as high as we want, we can commit as many men to the press we want and then all of a sudden then you can see, you can see the goals really quickly, if you see the new cast someone earlier on is bang, bang, bang, goals, they go in and then all of a sudden then you think, right, the game's over here and what do we do?

18:19Do we come out and continue to press or do we shut or chop, shut or chop and it becomes really difficult then. But I think as well, Chabbers, I think I didn't see the Chelsea game yesterday but I think it's a bit of a coincidence. Dispersed they had a horrendous 20 minutes in Madrid last week but after they got themselves so it, they got the goalkeeper off, they got settled, they're actually, they match Madrid in the first leg and they were the better side tonight in the second leg. Newcastle at Barcelona in the first leg, they were seconds away from taking a 1-0 lead to the new camp and for half anyway, they match Barcelona's only the second off again. A crazy 15-20 minutes belt took the game away from them so I don't think we're looking at this thinking are the Spanish clubs are so much better than the English side. I think it's probably a bit of a coincidence on this occasion. Do you think, and Oli K made this point in the athletic, the journalist, that you watch it and it's almost like English sides because of how attritional the Premier League has felt this season.

19:19It's almost like they're a bit taken aback to come up against expansive, insisive, attacking football and the games over the last two nights, the last couple of weeks have been fantastic to watch. I mean, they really have. Some of these have been top-quality, end-to-end, high-energy football, which really, Andrews, we haven't actually seen that much of in the Premier League this season. Is there a point to that, do you think, or not? Yeah, possibly. I think in the Champions League, they're more not counter-tacking stuff but they're more decisive on the counter-tack. You look at all the games we've watched over the last few days. There's been a lot of decisive counter-tacks where you make a mistake or you lose the ball when you get punished, and that's just footwork the highest level you're playing against the world's best players. You are going to get punished more than in the Premier League where, like you say, is it a bit more cautious, a bit more men behind the ball, possession-based, slow build-ups, whereas the Champions League is the opposite and we're loving it at the moment.

20:20What do you think, Adil? Are we in a bit of a clockmar at the moment? Yeah, I think so. I mean, we were talking about style to play the weekend and you're looking at, I know, Arsenal have been kind of criticized for their style of play and scoring goals from SEF Peace. I mean, I actually don't mind watching Arsenal play. I quite enjoy some of the rotations. I actually find city a little bit boring to watch at times, although they come up with brilliant moments with a gray Liverpooler kind of hitting me. So it's difficult to really hang your hat on the Premier League being top-notch at the moment. I think it's very bitter, I think it's very inconsistent. And I think the Champions League are maybe to feel around some of the Champions League and it brings out that little bit of ambition and clubs and I think clubs are coming to these English grounds now and thinking, well, we can have a little bit of a goal here. So what you're finding is that there's more open games and there's more kind of transitional moments in it, which is great. You know, we love seeing goals. That's what we love seeing. Really, in soy sauce of goals, good through boards,

21:21great finishes, sharp finishes, you know. So seeing all of them things in the Champions League that we have this week, I think has been fantastic and it's what everybody wants to see. Just one more on the Tottenham side of things, Andros. Eagle Tudor in his post-march interview has picked out Archie Gray saying that he's an incredible guy. He has been playing out of position, but in this position, he can be the best. I mean, that's where he wants to play, isn't it, in the middle of midfield. He's been used here there and everywhere by Spurs over the past couple of years. Yeah, and I think it's good to see him finally getting a run in his best position, he likes that he's been, he's been, he's been sent back at times as well, fall back. So it's good to see him get a run in his best position. He seems to suit the way Eagle Tudor likes to play with his two midfielders. Him and Papsar had a very, very good game in midfield, very dominant, controlled that midfield. So yeah, it's great to see from a young player and hopefully continue that not only into the weekend, but for the rest of the season,

22:21because Spurs are going to need that dominance in midfield if they are going to get away from the situation they're in. The best B2B marketing gets wasted on the wrong people.

Watch on YouTube. Listen on BBC sounds.

24:24On the football daily podcast. Champions League debrief. With my chat, from the camp, new Chris Sutton and John Murray were watching. Yes, inside the world's most glamorous building site, which is the rapidly transforming new camp. What a night for new castle. Chris Sutton still sitting here with me. Seven, two on the night. Eight, three on aggregate. So that is a, what do we call it? Is it, it's certainly chase name. Is it humiliating? Is it embarrassing or, or is it, is there more to it than that? I think there's more to it than that. On the face of it, you look at the score line over two legs and you would think that, that new castle had been pummeled by a, by Barcelona over the two games. That wasn't the case. They were pummeled by Barcelona for one half of football. One half of one half? Yeah, you could even say. Yeah, yeah, you could. And yet, new castle gave such a good account of themselves.

25:25And you couldn't, I was always interested to see the way Eddie Harris set up against Barcelona this evening. And he was bold in, in, in the approach in terms of new castle pressing Barcelona high, going man for man and getting after them. And, and having that approach, you know, it sort of, you do take a risk doing that because Barcelona have some brilliant attacking pays. You know, they really, they really, really do in their technically proficient and good at what they do. But the first half was, was so enthralling Barcelona, taking the lead on a couple of occasions, but new castle always looked to threat with that, that front three. Maybe not Gordon so much centrally, but Barnes on that left hand side, a Langer off the right. That space in behind which Barcelona give you with the way that they hold that high line because they're trying to condense the game and they feel that's, that's the, the, the best way that, that suits their starter play. You want to win the ball high up and attack, but new castle, new castle exploit that brilliantly in the first half.

26:27And you could argue a really unlucky to go in three, two down because at two, two, there was a moment where a Langer got beyond Cancelo. I thought that, you know, it was a penalty, you know, whether it was an accidental trip or whatever inside the box. And I wonder what Eddie Harris to say about that. Maybe he'll think, well, because we got beat seven, two, it wasn't such a big moment, but it was, it was a big moment. This was Cancelo on a Langer. And how valid is it to talk about that? Because I know people listening to this will say, it's finished seven, two. What are you talking about penalty show that wasn't given when the score was two, two? And I understand that, but on, you know, on another day, if new castle get the penalty, it causes hypothetical now, they score it, they go in three, two up and the atmosphere inside, you know, the new camp could have been completely different, but it wasn't Barcelona rewarded a penalty out here in Trippia State on the pitch where a pullback on Raffini, when it looked like Raffini was gonna tap a ball in from the Lopez cross. New castle were fortunate in that sense

27:29to keep 11 players on the pitch, but Yamal tucked the penalty away and then second half. I always thought the new castle would run out of steam, but the second half didn't pan out as I expected. Barcelona wiped the floor with them in the first 15, 20 minutes and the second half, and then it was just a case of white flag and other centre-half on for new castle, defending deep, defending the box and trying to keep the score down. And that was a, you know, a sorry ending and a sad ending, really, from the side, who gave so much in the first half as new castle did, but when you're at this level, and this is the, you know, the top level in Europe, you're playing the best teams, they can do that to you, Barcelona. I think they've got enough to go all the way and win it potentially, Barcelona, we will see. How'd you look ahead then to the quarterfinals, Andros? I mean, they are all mouthwatering on the Real Madrid against Bayern and Barcelona against Athletico Madrid, as far as the English sides are concerned,

28:30sporting against Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain against Liverpool, and what the English sides have there because they finished in the top eight as the higher seeded sides, they get the second legs at home, which in Liverpool's case could make a massive difference. Yeah, 100%. We saw, even in this game, Galatasaray, their hostile home ground, Liverpool struggled, but once they got on back to the Anfield, they were probing, they were patient. Once they opened them up with a set piece goal, they really did let their dominance show and Liverpool Anfield such a tough place in the Champions League for any team to come. So, yeah, it's going to be tough. They're facing the best side in European PSG, but when your second legs are Anfield, I'll never write Liverpool out of any game. I suppose the danger in all of this is to think that Arsenal have got the easiest tie, isn't it? Not that they will be thinking that, but it's undecidably what a lot of people will be thinking. I wouldn't underestimate them. No, yeah, they have locked out in this one,

29:32but they're in the EFL couple in there. They've locked out. They've locked out. So, it's the full way to get in there. They've found a way to get in the easy side of the draw, to go Arsenal. But they've got the Premier League chapters, they've got the cup on the weekend, the cup final, they're still in the FA Cup, they've got a lot of games. So, yeah, that sporting game's going to be very difficult when it comes along in the court finals. Just going to be a quick one on Harry Kane, who's reached 50 Champions League goals tonight. He scored two for Bayern. Only two players have got two 50 Champions League goals quicker, and that is Harland and Rude van Nistoroi. So, he's third on that list. That's, you know, you were with him right at the start, because some achievement, isn't it, on top of all his other achievements? That's a hell of an achievement. He's a player who works extremely hard at his game. Every time I see him play for England, I hear comments that he's finished, his legs are gone, how much has he got left, and he pops up with another record. I think the way he dedicates himself to the game,

30:34this is somebody who can play late into their 30s. His game was never based on pace. He's strong, he holds up the ball well, he's smart. He can adapt his game. This player has got many, many more years at the top. Don't worry about that. Lovely to have you on, Andros. Talk to you soon. Pleasure. Cheers, Andros Tenzen with us this evening on Five Live Sports.
