Ian St John hosts Jan Molby and Mark Wright in the latest excellent podcast from former players organisation, 5 Times.
Between them the Liverpool legends made 927 appearances for the club between 1960 and 1998.
After briefly discussing the outcomes of the recent international break, the trio quickly get down to business — picking apart what exactly is going wrong with Liverpool and their patchy form this season.
It soon emerges how much the Reds are still missing Luis Suarez, not just for his attacking attributes and goals, but what he contributed to the team in terms of structure.
“Everyone talks about Liverpool without Luis Suarez when they have the ball but what about when they don’t have the ball?” Molby said. “How we’re getting exposed all over the pitch without his workrate.”
Wright adds, “He was never injured! Everyone was kicking him and getting inside his head but he never missed a game.”
Wright, who played 210 times for the Reds between 1991 and 1998, goes on to bemoan Liverpool’s lack of commitment in defending, acknowledging that the game has changed since his playing days, but nevertheless the art of defending a ball into the box still requires the same ingredients.
He told the podcast, “Everyone says the game’s changed to me and I understand that it has to a certain extent on the floor, but a corner or free-kick into the box — how do you defend that? It’s passion, commitment.”
Molby replied, “They used to say ‘There’s only one ball’. Head that ball away, what’s the problem?!”
It’s another fantastic podcast from the Liverpool legends, so have a listen below and make sure you’ve got your tickets to the Miracle of Istanbul reunion night at the Liverpool Echo Arena in May 2015. Details below.
