On the Football Daily Podcast, Champions League debrief. with Mark Chapman. It's been a cracky night in the Champions League in terms of entertaining football, not necessarily that much success as far as English sides. Our concern, Newcastle thrash 7-2 in Barcelona at tea time to go out 8-3 on aggregate. Spurs, amherable in beating Athleticsico Madrid, 3-2, but they go out after that first leg performance. Liverpool at the side that join Arsenal, the English side in the quarter-finals.

They'd beat in Galatasarai 4-0 tonight, 4-1 and 8. aggregate and Byron who were already through after thrashing Atalanta, six one in the first leg, put another four past them tonight. Atalanta got one. So that's 10-2 on aggregate. Thoughts and reactions come from those games. Let's start at 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. All that changed in the second half. It certainly did, yeah. I mean, this was a dominant decision. play and Liverpool breezing their way into the last eight but as you say they were 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 through for a quarter-final date with the holders paris and gansuman and the first leg will be in the french capital paul robinson alongside ian it took a while for them to put them away but galatatine I'm never really a threat, were they? No, I know they've stuttered 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. And actually, the performance that they got tonight was so dominant, it was so impressive from Liverpool. I think the thing that Liverpool fans will go away from here tonight, they'll be 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. In 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 look sharp, they look sharp, they look quick. Whatever he said to them at half time really had the desired effect. Mo Salar almost looked back to his best. He's interchanged the setup for Ekateke, the finish for his goal. He looked sharp. He looked at it. He was chasing the ball down. So Boslai's 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 looks. Liverpool performance in the second half is arguably one of the best of the season. Listen, Galatasarai didn't make it too difficult for them, but let's not underestimate. This is a Galatasarai 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 Galatasarai were pretty passive tonight, Liverpool didn't allow them into the game. They were very good.

Stephen Warnock is also with us. Liverpool fans going away tonight, going, why can't we do that more often? Stephen Gerrard said to TNT exactly the same thing Stephen tactically spot on perfect night for R in the 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 is 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 got 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 too open at times but I think Robbo's right in what he said tonight the attitude of all the players was spot on I think this system helped them going to a 4-4-2 playing Frimpong at right back having Soberslie in his preferred position which is

either the right hand side of the four or just drifting into that midfield field area which I thought he was brilliant at tonight but a little bit different role for Mohammed Salah as well playing through the middle alongside Eka TK I 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. This was an easy game for Liverpool. Yes, they made light work of it and their 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. I know you talk about mentality there, but one of the things you said at the start was Sir Bosley back in his more natural position.

if he is Liverpool's best player this season, which I don't think anybody would disagree with. Surely you start, don't you, 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, Arnestlot spoke about Sir Bosley being higher up the pitch and the effect he has for pressing and how instrumentally is to that. And you're taking that out the team and then you're asking McAllister to press, Gravenberg 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, what 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 skull of thought,

well, 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 Sir Boslai's strengths and using Sir Boslai as 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 was how high Fringpong played on that right-hand side and

suppose like tucked in he played a little bit narrower so Fringpong then becomes effectively a wing back and if needed suppose I will drop back into that right-back position and help fill him for him but yeah I listen you've got to play Fringpong as a right-back in this situation because they don't have Connor Bradley if Conor 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 Alexander Arnold that They knew Conor Bradley was going to be, well, he struggled with injuries right throughout his short Liverpool career,

but we know he's got those problems. Fringpong'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 Mohamed Salah goes away to Afcon, 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 Sobol's Lai

because like you spoke about before, you lose the qualities of Samoslai higher up the pitch. Stephen, there's been a lot of tinkering with Arnus Lott this season. I don't think he's really found his best 11, but watching them tonight, they look settled. This 11 looks like it can be the 11 to take them now into the last stages of the FAA 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. They think of Inter Milan away when Liverpool played really well. It was the night Mohammed Salah was, or he didn't play in that game. But Liverpool played a 4-4-2 in that game as well. And he played, 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 on a 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, Isaac will come back and then all the fun and games start, don't they? Exactly. And then also as well, you've got Ingamoa,

who's being exceptional in his last few games who's going to be pushing as well. So, yeah, listen, 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 Canate 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 Arnes 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 of 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. to create a situation where the energy would run out of the stadium by making sure there was not much playing time. But our fans reacted great to that and our players kept on going. So great dynamic between fans and players and almost the perfect game from us, but also 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 is here today, bar Andy Reid 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 piece. There were some eye-catching individual performances. Young Archie Gray again,

very eye-catching in the middle of midfield. Mattis Tell probably had his best game in a Spurs shirt, colon one, he scored a good goal, two goals for Javi Simons, so 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 run-in, 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 ego chudo there's lots to like although although right at the end ego tudor walked straight down the tunnel didn't he andy read i don't if you saw that on your monitor i mean as soon as the final whistle blue he was he was down that tunnel i'm not didn't acknowledge to me own not that i saw and didn't sort of stay out to hear the applause yeah i thought

that was very strange and i thought 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. Let's kind of give them a bit of a clap

and make sure that when they turn up here on Sunday, that they're really kind of behind the team. So look, he's lost a 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 worth some tonight. I don't Andros 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 Tell, from Seymons in particular, who've both flickered 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 their three goals down coming into the game. They know that just show a bit of effort.

at 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 when they play Forrest on the weekend. Spurs are not going to accept, the fans are not going to accept, oh, they're working hard, 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 and score the goals. I suppose because, Andy, that atmosphere that was there tonight, it's not going to be, as Andrews has said, it's not going to be like that, is it, on Sunday? No, it's probably not. And I do agree with Andros.

I mean, if you look at what Atlantic on Madrid done, they knew that they had a three-gold 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 on to them, which then in turn got the crowd going. 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 forming the press. Emmy League. So it's interesting. What I did like about the Tottenham situation tonight was when we seen the team sheets and it looked like with Dragason coming into the team, it was going to be a three at the back. But they didn't. Dragerson played it right back. Porro played a little bit higher and they kind of went after the game a little bit more. And I taught the formation work for them in terms of the game tonight. So that's what these Totland fans want to see. They want to see positivity.

They want to see the team playing on the front foot and being aggressive, jumping at the midfield, winning tackles and then when they do win the ballback playing some decent football and playing some good attacking football I still do think that there's a weakness and there you know you're seen by the goals to conceded 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 kind of cause them problems so they're going to have to short out of particularly when they're pressing in that 442 formation like they did tonight I agree but I'm looking towards the weekend and Rich Harleason's obviously suspended for today's game. He has to play. I think his energy is infectious. It gets everyone going. I think he has to play.

But then I look at Colomwani'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 Rich Arlison on the weekend? Or it's, I tell you what, Andrews, it sounds like you go back to the Aussie Ardilis days of five up front there, really, for Spelsaw for it sounds like. Andy? Yeah, no, I think Colomouani will come out with the team, and I think for Charleston, we'll go back in. That's just my My thoughts on it. I mean, Colomano, he scored the goal tonight, and he did do okay at times,

but he wasn't, he wouldn't say he was kind of scintillating, you know, you wouldn't say, no, you couldn't leave him out of the team. So I think Risharlison comes back in. I think, I'm in this in a good way. Risharlison's a nuisance, isn't he? You know, he's somebody there, you know, you don't want to kind of play against.

You know, so I think he comes back into it. You know, he scored the goal last week at Amfield, and he will bring that bit of energy. But like you say, I think, you know, with them players behind Intel, and Simmons. It'd be interesting to see what he does at the weekend with Pedro Porro and whether he continues to look at him in that kind of right wing position because he actually done okay even going forward. He's got decent delivery into the box and he actually linked it quite

well so it'd be interesting to see what he does with him. I think hausory is the word you were looking for rather than nuisance wasn't it? I don't know I like the word nuisance and I know a lot of nuisances so yeah. Let me you just stay here for this bit and And And Andros is obviously 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 are conceded seven over two legs.

Manchester City five over two legs. And Chelsea eight over two legs to Paris Sajman. So you can say, Andy, can't you? Look, they've had some tough draws of the English side. here in the main. You know, they didn't get a sport with all due respect to sporting or a bodo glim to whatever.

So they've had difficult, they've had difficult ties, but they've been absolutely walloped in them. Not like gone out 3-2 or 4-3. They 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, and 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. They're absolutely top. And you go into some of them 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 hurt 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 you want, and then all of a sudden then you can see goals really quickly. You see the Newcastle one earlier on, it's bang, bang, bang, bang, goals, they're going, and then all of a sudden then you think, right, the game's over here,

and what do we do? Do we come out and continue to press, or do we shut up, shop, and it becomes really difficult then? But I think as well, Chabas, I think, I didn't see the Chelsea game yesterday, but I think it's a bit of a coincidence. Spurs, they had a horrendous 20 minutes in Madrid last week. But after they got themselves soared, they got the goalkeeper off, they got settled. They were actually, they matched Madrid in the first leg. And they were the better side tonight in the second leg.

Newcastle of 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. It's only the second off again. A crazy 15, 20 minute spell took the game away from them. So I don't think we're looking at this thinking, oh, the Spanish clubs are so much better than the English sides. I think it's probably a bit of a coincidence on this occasion. Do you think, and Ollie Kay 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, it's almost like they're a bit taken aback to come up against expansive, incisive, 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, Andros, 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-attack, but they're more decisive on the counter-attack. you look at all the games we've watched over the last few days. There's been a lot of decisive countertacks where you make a mistake or you lose the ball and you get punished. And that's just football at 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's the opposite and we're loving it at the moment. What do you think, Andy? Are we in a bit of a clogmar at the moment?

Yeah, I think so. I mean, we were talking about styles of play at the weekend, and you know, you're looking at, I know Arsenal have been kind of criticised for their style of play and scoring goals from set pieces. 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, which are great Liverpool, kind of hit and miss. So it's difficult to kind of really hang your hat on the Premier League being top-notch at the moment. I think it's very bity. I think it's very inconsistent.

And I think the Champions League and maybe the feel around some of the Champions League nights brings out that little bit of ambition in clubs. And I think clubs are coming to these English grounds now and thinking, oh, we can have a little bit of a go 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, and we love seeing goals. That's what we look. I love seeing really incisive goals, good through balls, great finishes, sharp finishes. So seeing all 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, Igor Tudor, in his post-match interview, has picked out Archie Gray, saying 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 being used here, there and everywhere by Spurs over the past couple. years. Yeah, yeah, and I think it's good to see him finally getting a run in his best position. Like said, he's been, he's been everywhere. He's been centreback at times as well, full back. So it's good to see him get a run in his best position. He seems to suit the way Igor Tudor likes to play with

his two midfield as him. And Papp Saar 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, because Spurs are going I need that dominance in midfield if they are going to get away from the situation they're in.

Watch on YouTube. Listen on BBC Sounds. On the Football Daily podcast, Champions League debrief. With my... From the Camp New, Chris Sutton and John Murray, we're watching. Yes, inside the world's most glamorous building site, which is the rapidly transforming new camp.

What a night for Newcastle. Chris Sutton's still sitting here with me. 7-2 on the night, 8-3 on aggregate. So that is a, what do we call it? Is it certainly chastening? Is it humiliating? Is it embarrassing? Or is it 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 Newcastle had been pummeled 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, you could even say. Yeah, yeah, you could.

And yet Newcastle gave such a good account of themselves. And you can... I was always interested to see the way Eddie House set up against Barcelona this evening. And he was bold in the approach in terms of Newcastle, pressing Barcelona high, going man for man and getting after them. And having that approach, you do take a risk doing that because Barcelona have some brilliant attacking players. You know, they really, really do and they're technically proficient and good at what they do. but the first half was so enthralling Barcelona taking the lead on a couple of occasions, but Newcastle always looked to threat with that front three.

Maybe not Gordon so much centrally, but Barnes on that left-hand side, a languor 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 the best way that that suits their start of play and want to win the ball high up and attack. But Newcastle exploited that brilliantly. the first half and you could argue you were really unlucky to go in 3-2 down because at 2-2 there was a moment where Alanga got beyond Cancelo I thought that you know it was a penalty you know whether

there was an accidental trip or whatever inside the box and I wonder what Eddie Howe has to say about that maybe he'll think well because we got beat 7-2 it wasn't such a big moment but yeah it was a big moment this was Cancelo on a langa and how valid is it to talk about that because I know people listening to this, we'll say it's finished 7-2. What are you talking about penalty shout that wasn't given when the score was 2-2? And I understand that, but on another day, if Newcastle get the penalty, it course it's hypothetical now, they score it, they go in 3-2 up, and the atmosphere inside, you know, the New Camp could have been completely different,

but it wasn't Barcelona rewarded a penalty how Kieran Trippia stayed on the pitch for a pullback on Rafini when it looked like Rafini was going to tap a board. in from the Lopez cross. Newcastle were fortunate in that sense to keep 11 players on the pitch but Yemal tucked the penalty away and then second half. I always thought that Newcastle 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 in the second half and then it was just a case of white flag another centre half on for Newcastle defending deep defending the box and trying to keep the score down.

And that was that was a sorry ending and a sad ending really from a side who gave so much in the first half as Newcastle did but when you're at this level and this is 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 but we will we will see how do 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 of concert, sporting against Arsenal, Paris Saint-German 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

dominant 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 Europe in PSG, but when your second legs at 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 understandably what a lot of people will be thinking. I wouldn't underestimate them. No, yeah, they have lucked out in this one, but they're in the EFL company in the... They've lucked out.

They've locked out. So the former top of the wigger. They've found a way to get in the easy side of the draw. Typical Arsenal. No, but they've got the Premier League chappers. 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 quarterfinals. Just give me a quick one on Harry Kane, who's reached 50 Champions League goals tonight.

He scored two for Bayern. Only two players have got to 50 Champions League goals quicker. And that is Harland and Rud van Nistaroy. So he's third on that list. You were with him right at the start. It's got 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, this 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. Andrew turns out with us this evening on Five Live Sport. So Arsenal against

sporting, Liverpool against Paris-Sangement, and then Real Madrid will be paired with Bayern and Barcelona and have Athletica Madrid. They are the Champions League quarterback.
