Over the next 45 and we will discuss the following... Manchester United

booed off, Louis Van Gaal booed off as they lose again. Leicester are

three clear at the top as they put three past Stoke. Can Arsenal record

Premier League win over Chelsea and we talked Spurs who are within

touching distance of Arsenal after 83-1 at Crystal Palace. The back

pages... The Sun newspaper has a headline... The Mail on Sunday

claiming that the big four are going for John Stones, Real Madrid,

Barcelona, Chelsea and by Chester city. The independent goes with this

story... We will get onto that in a moment

but first, the Manchester United defeat at Old Trafford.

Hear from Louis Van Gaal. What about the reaction today? There were one

or two Blues during the game, part-time and full-time. What is

your response? They part-time and full-time. What is

cannot deny it. I have seen the match also. I cannot deny it. But

also, for better or for worse, you have to stick together. What do you

say to those supporters to make them believe it will improve? Yes...

Because we are working very hard but we have also, a lot of injuries and

you cannot change that. I can change it not with words, so, it is also a

lot of unlock when you have five full-backs injured. You said, Mark,

it's the same interview every week. It is Groundhog Day, seriously. Can

I substantiate this? Were they booing the players coming off or

were they building the manager, or the result or all three? Yes, well,

I think probably all three. The booing started, I made a note, eight

minutes before half-time, that's the style of play, that's the caution.

That's everything. I suppose. But the manager, as Mark Lawrenson

knows, he was booed off at half-time and at the final whistle. I have not

been for a few months which tells its own story, I suppose. I have

been to Arsenal, Chelsea... Glory hunter! Leicester, you must have

been to Leicester. I was shocked, honestly. At how flattered us. You

will not be shocked. I was genuinely surprised at what has happened. Not

just to the style of play, which is shocking in itself. But the

atmosphere at the club. -- how flat it was. The club feels like it's

been defeated. I saw them at Anfield last week. The first time ever, I

said to you upstairs, I watch them, Manchester United and when they had

not got the ball, I closed my eyes and when I opened by eyes, five

seconds, every single Manchester United player was just in position.

It worked for them on the day but it was almost like so regimented,

Manchester United teams of two, three, five years ago, they would be

all over the place and that is the difference, it's so regimented. A

couple of things. Regarding the atmosphere... I have seen Manchester

United even understood Alex Ferguson booed off at half-time or full-time

at Old Trafford, I have seen Louis Van Gaal the season food as he goes

down the touchline because of the performance but what I haven't seen

in a long time and only mentioned it, the team actually been booed

while playing. Seven or eight minutes before half-time... That

must affect players when they are booed in the process of the game.

must affect players when they are are in the midst of the game

must affect players when they are mistake, they will booed louder...

Double thinking situations, mistake, they will booed louder...

called the Theatre of mistake, they will booed louder...

these days, it's like literally going to the theatre,

quiet and every now and then it's up ripple of applause and very

occasionally in ripple of applause and very

booed but it's happening more and more. You must

booed but it's happening more and bad place! But the other thing is,

everyone has picked up on it, it's not intimidating. As an opposition,

to go to Old not intimidating. As an opposition,

come on, in the past there would have been bravado, we might nick a

point but now, it's we can go and win. Let's get on to the tactics,

point but now, it's we can go and both sides played three at the back

and give Southampton credit, you should not be ignored in this

discussion. You had not been there for a while, given the discussion

about what is happening at United, when you go there do you feel the

whole package is a when you go there do you feel the

as though it's fallen behind? It's a minute thing but I wonder whether

it's symbolic, to the extent they must be one of the few Premier

League clubs who don't have the big screen, for example. Have they moved

with modern times? I don't think they have. You start off with

important things like the fact that the

important things like the fact that this week. For

important things like the fact that so proud for so long with its youth

important things like the fact that setup, lots of worrying signs,

But I think it's a very valid point. Has it moved with the times? People

say it's not important and in some ways it isn't but

say it's not important and in some every four, the press

say it's not important and in some not complaining. But if you compare

it to Real Madrid. Manchester City, Arsenal... It's like it's back in

the car park culture. A lot of fines would appreciate that the press are

uncomfortable. Absolutely, of course they would. -- a lot of the fans.

It's another sign that they don't appear to be moving on, they seem to

be stuck in the times of Alex Ferguson and they happened moved on.

The counterargument, in terms of sponsorship, they must have more

money now than they have ever had before? It's as though that has

usurped the football side. Can you talk to me at about the 3-5- two

formation. Southampton have used the back 35 times and having conceded.

It is a system that evidently works but then but why? It's working for

now. There is no golden formula or system that is bullet-proof. It's

about the players and how they adapt to it and it's working for

Southampton. Other teams have tried it to a lesser extent. I think it's

a problem some teams go 3- for-macro-3. But primarily it's

pretty obvious, it gives you extra security in the middle of defence.

The wingbacks can drop and form a back five. If they have the athletic

ability and the intent to get forward and deliver crosses, you

have got the extra man in midfield supporting them and importantly you

have two front players. Pros and cons with every system but it seems

to be working. Primarily you do to stop conceding goals. That is the

first spot, it's not that you know it's going to be good because you

are attacking. You are shipping goals, probably Southampton were, if

it works, you start to build from there. But the wingbacks have got to

be the most important people in the system. It worked for them yesterday

in the sense that they had a few opportunities on the break, use the

pace of players and when they had their back three, there were more

players going forward. United had a back three but at times it felt like

five because Lingard... They don't move out of position. I thought

Lingard looked lost in that position. The sad thing, it has been

a great season and so much to look at in terms of flair, look at layers

like Riyad Mahrez and Delie Ali. -- look at players. None of the players

at United... A team that was known for its player, that almost had a

knobbly on flair in the Premier League. -- had a monopoly. I wrote

this in my piece, it's almost as if the DNA has been altered, that's the

feeling that you get. Dave says how much worse could it get? Mark says

the tactics of the manager or as boring as it demeanour, it's time to

change. Andy says the Theatre of Dreams, it's more like a pantomime.

Jorge Mendes, the agent for Jose Mourinho, has labelled this love

letter story is totally absurd adding in a it doesn't occur to

anyone that a coach like Jose Mourinho can write letters to club

offering their services. Do you think the truth of this might be

somewhere in between? Possibly, I wouldn't mind betting that he's

written an article or peace somewhere about the art of

management. Which obviously, if he has, can be easily adapted to the

story that is coming out but I can't honestly... The picture of him

sitting in his back bedroom writing this I? Give that to Bobby Charlton

then he is in. I don't see that. At all. It is not his style. I wouldn't

have thought but? He might put a dossier together perhaps in

preparation for being considered for the job down the line? It is what a

lot of managers do. But someone has obviously got a sniff of that, but

as for writing a formal letter to whoever it may concern... I think

it's worth saying that the journalist who has written it... He

is a very good journalist, not the type of guy who would just make

something up and and I think there have been rumours before that Jose

Mourinho would have liked the United job. Yes... Before the Chelsea job.

I know it's a quantum leap from saying that to saying he has written

a 6-page letter but as I say, I don't think that will have come out

of nothing. I presume he has written books, has he not? Or with his

cooperation? I bet there is some stuff in there about how would you

manage or go about managing. It could easily be lifted. As you say,

I note lots of former players who if they think a management job is

coming up will put together some kind of dossier... A bloke who has

won everything there is to win. He does not... All right... But if he

feels which are in mind he did not get it when David Moyes got it, if

he feels he will have to persuade Manchester United and the

hierarchy... But he has got a super agent? Even he might have to do

that. The other thing... Tell us about yourself! But they will save

what are you going to do? When every single competition that I ever

entered. The argument is, they did not do that with Louis Van Gaal.

Because they ought to have known how he has played football, over his

career, they did not sit down and ask him about his so-called

philosophy. You laugh about this thing, tell us about yourself, I

take your point. But I think in English football we are still

notoriously... Nudge and a wink, who you know, we all know Jose Mourinho

and has qualities but I think if you take the hiring process in something

like the NFL in America... It is a lot more formal and thorough than

the hiring process in English football and I think English

football is starting to move towards that. Jose Mourinho knows there is

opposition to him within United about his style so I think as we

have all said, maybe there is a truth somewhere, he has prepared

some kind of dossier, about why he may feel, however absurd it may

sound, that he needs to persuade people. I get that but as you

rightly say, they didn't do judo Lydon is on Louis Van Gaal. One

final thing, Ronald Koeman immediately in his press conference

dismissing any link with the Chelsea job, saying that was rubbish, I

paraphrase that. He said a very good week but signing Charlie Austin

under the radar and gets that. It has gone swimmingly for him,

bringing Charlie Austin on at that stage of the game. A late goal,

kills them. Going back to United, Louis Van Gaal... He bemoans the

fact that teams come on and said outburst to defend. They came here

and defended well, as if it was something that goes against the

grain. He has got to come up with a theory or way of breaking teams.

The game was up in that regard when he set about Sheffield United last

week. They did create chances on the break. I thought they played well.

They are a decent side. Of those two sides, they were the only side with

any urgency. Mane had that touch on the right-hand side. United didn't

manage any of that. #bbcfootball and 85058 to get in touch with us. We

have a preview of Everton against Swansea. England have lost another

wicket in the cricket. Yes, it is Ben Stokes who is out. A six wicket

for the South African bowler. It could have been fireworks for

England, a new ball coming out, Ben Stokes looking to have his eye in.

But he is on his way back to the pavilion. England Trail by two to

three. Arsenal against Chelsea this afternoon. You will be able to

listen to it on five line. Any predictions? I would think without

presence of Jose Mourinho, too busy writing love letters to football...

They have a better side. Ozil comes back in today, and Sanchez. I think

they will be too much for Chelsea. Ozil coming back is a big boost. If

he is 100% fit, it will not take him long to get to that level. They've

kept themselves at the top of the lake without them. It

kept themselves at the top of the boost. Chelsea are a conundrum. You

don't boost. Chelsea are a conundrum. You

them. But you have to fancy Elliott -- Arsenal strongly. That point

about them keeping themselves near the top

about them keeping themselves near these pliers out injured... If you

go back to the Norwich these pliers out injured... If you

stick that Wenger got about Sanchez doing his hamstring in the game

stick that Wenger got about Sanchez one. A lot of people at that stage

were ready for Arsenal to plummet without Sanchez. They were. Today, I

don't think it is as straightforward as the other two. This is the last

psychological barrier for Arsenal but they haven't been able to get

over before, maybe because there was this thing with Mourinho and Arsene

Wenger. Mourinho was the one person who got under they are's skin, above

all others. Even at the start of season when Arsenal were playing

well and Chelsea were struggling, I can't remember who they had lost

two, Mourinho said, we will beat Arsenal. He knew he

two, Mourinho said, we will beat recently where they were unable to

beat the four top clubs. But this is a massive game for

Arsenal are not going to fall for the three card Costa trick today?

Arsenal are not going to fall for When you look at who Arsene Wenger

inherited in goal, it is amazing he's gone through all those years

without a really goalkeeper. When you look at the

psychological advantage that Chelsea have had, when you have been in

teams, has it ever affected you, your manager's relationship with the

teams, has it ever affected you, opposing manager? It has in a

positive way. Even opposing manager? It has in a

two managers. I will not go into detail over who it was!

two managers. I will not go into shame. Martin O'Neill and others.

Martin used to have this mentality. He stoked up the rivalry between

certain clubs when he had a difference with other managers. It

may have given us that extra bit, it may have made us give him even more.

But situations are different. He had a mental block with Mourinho, but it

isn't an issue now. Arsenal are looking very strong. For me, you

can't really back against Arsenal. But you don't know what Charles --

what Chelsea is going to turn out. Ron Atkinson came to Anfield and

some Muppets, Liverpool fans, actually sprayed them with CS gas

when they came off the coach. We heard all this from the dressing

room. Someone said, that will work for us, thank you very much! All the

best, boys. That is the 4pm game, Arsenal

against Chelsea. You can hear it on 5 Live. Everton against Swansea, we

are at the ground. Roberto Martinez has calmed down from the Chelsea

are at the ground. Roberto Martinez game and makes two changes. Jagielka

is not 100% fit, and they have half an eye on the League Cup second leg

on Wednesday. An intriguing day for Swansea is the, with the Italian

Francesco Guidolin parachuted in on a rescue mission. He makes one

change at right back. Angel Rangel for Naughton. Thank you. Guidolin

needs to make an instant impact, doesn't he? He needs to. But will

he. It is different for a foreign coach, or head coach, to come in and

make an impact so quickly. We have seen similar incidents... You can

compare it to Aston Villa's situation. Remi Garde has come into

the fray and needed to change things straightaway, and it hasn't

happened. There is no bedding in process, getting to know the players

or the league, and Guidolin has that problem. I'm not sure the players...

I do fear for Swansea. I'm not sure the players have that relegation

dogfight mentality about them. It reminds me of West Brom. I saw

Swansea against Watford on Monday night. Two very average teams. This

is the first time under the new regime at Swansea that they have had

a catalogue of making bad decisions. I think that might come to haunt

them. I think they have a real chance of being relegated, Swansea.

I agree. It's a shame because they have made so many good decisions.

Some terrific decisions. This is the first time it feels they are all at

sea. They've been such a good team to watch over the years, and I've

really admired the fact that they have stuck to the same style. They

haven't fallen into the trap where they have appointed a manager that

goes in a totally different direction. They've kept the

continuity. But this time, it feels like they're plan B has fallen down.

It just feels like it is panic stations at the moment. I saw them

at Oxford couple of weeks ago in the cup. Another thing is selling

Shelvey. I know they got decent money for him. Without a

replacement, though. He is a good player, Shelvey. And to sell one of

your best players to arrival, I thought that was an odd decision.

Unless you have a replacement, it is even stranger. If you suddenly

decide you don't fancy him any more, get somebody else through the door

before you sell him. The other thing is, the players. The front players

have really stopped playing. If you saw the team, Chelsea first game of

the season, the front three absolutely tour Chelsea apart. We

haven't seen that since. Dyer has left, and Bony... They haven't

replaced him properly. Ayew has been linked with a move away. Sunday --

and Bafetimbi Gomis. But to sell Shelvey, have a link with Ayew and a

rumour about Gomis - that implies that something isn't 100% in the

squad. I think the fact that Shelvey has left. It's a time of need, and

he is a top-class footballer. Has he got the attributes that Swansea are

looking for in a relegation situation? Debatable. The fact that

he is gone suggests something was not quite right, because they

couldn't get the best out of him. It looks like you parachuted out. And

on Guidolin. He is an experienced manager. He did very good work at

Udinese. Are we being slightly disrespectful? I mean, are you lot?

I don't think so. I think that the analogy Marc Sneyd is fair. The

manner in which it has been done speaks of confusion, to me. They

appoint Alan Curtis as the caretaker for the rest of the season, and then

two weeks later, after they have been knocked out the FA Cup by

Oxford, they decide that he isn't the caretaker for the rest of the

season, and another guy is coming in. There is no clarity over who is

in charge, Curtis or diesel in. It is the opposite of what we have had

from Swansea, when everything was clear. The signs are not good. And

he has a week before the end of the transfer market. Who is identifying

the weaknesses? He is in charge today. They are out the cup. Next

time they play, the transfer market has ended. Pete says, Swansea will

go down this season. There's no obvious plan. Guidolin says, just

because we don't -- Mary says, just because we don't know Guidolin,

doesn't mean he's not a good manager. He is capable of steadying

the ship. If you are an Everton centre-half, would you be screaming

at your midfield for more protection? I would be screaming at

my full-backs as well! Way they played... Two centre halves, two

holding midfielders. Everton are a good side. They play attractive

football. One of the top goal-scorers in the league. But they

do have trouble conceding, both home and away. They need to finish off

games and sew them up. I know it is part of the game plan, but I would

constantly be on at the central midfielders. The goalkeeper is an

issue. Everybody who watches Everton Luczak Eddie Howe and says, why

would you keep Howard in, when the other goalkeeper has done really

well. And you would have to lass sued the two full-backs in. Martinez

was the same at Wigan. Great going forward but defensively light. He is

being pragmatic, I suppose. If you are too-0 up, try and settle for the

win. Not try and settle, win 2-0! There is so much to admire about

them going forward. You look at Berkeley, John Stones top Mac I

noticed Jamie Carragher a couple of times in his column saying, Stones

is a fantastic player, and we all admire him, but sometimes... That's

what Jamie Carragher said. Only because he's got fantastic ability,

but he will end up giving it to somebody in part of the picture

doesn't really want it, which then causes a problem. He is a great

footballer, but he makes mistakes in the central midfield. It doesn't

detract from his quality. Don't stop him playing that way, but when he is

under pressure and he gives it to someone who has a bloke on him... It

is his distribution and where he distributes it. It is fine that he

tries it. I don't have a problem with that. Or is it the quality of

the team-mates around him? I thought the presenter would have got that.

the team-mates around him? I thought like to spread it around the panel!

The one time you like to spread it around the panel!

Viera can have two men on him and still keep the ball. I really hope

that Stones, Dele Alli, I hope we see them in the first 11. Both of

them, Stones in particular, has been around a bit. I hope that we...

them, Stones in particular, has been is a breath of fresh air because he

isn't hoofing it up the pitch. We are saying that part of the

isn't hoofing it up the pitch. We he needs to hoof it up is because he

doesn't have the quality of people around him. With England,

doesn't have the quality of people there was a slightly higher quality

doesn't have the quality of people of player who would be able to deal

with that. Was that a quantum leap? You get your dictionary out!

with that. Was that a quantum leap? going to move on to Spurs. We will

talk about Dele Alli. The team that we have, the squad

that we have from 18 months ago... The quality... We are trying to say

one more time that we are the youngest squad in the Premier

League. I think the way we play and the maturity that we show we look

older but it's important to keep working hard and any distraction...

I look forward now and the challenges for the next game. Spurs

coming from 1-0 down to win 3-1 at Crystal Palace. They are for the

five points away from Leicester. Hugo Lloris has been praised as the

best keeper and Hugo Lloris, his influence, as the captain, should

not be underestimated. Not at all. Tottenham are a very good

defensively. Look at them yesterday against Crystal Palace, they held on

for a while and that is what teams have to do. They reminded me of

Chelsea last year. You buy some time in a game, it's not happening for

the forward is the other team are having a good spell and you make

sure you don't concede. That is what they do

sure you don't concede. That is what good a pairing is anyone in the

league. I would not disagree. The centre-half players, both of them...

That side, very complex. He can play a bed for a centre-half, that switch

past, pinging it out for Delie Ali against Everton... They look a good,

well balanced, all-round team. Options on the bench. Yesterday... I

was going to say Danny Rose and Kieran Trippier... Walker... Plenty

of options. The only question is upfront, if Harry Kane gets injured,

do they have someone to get enough goals, it's debatable but they

looked like a work in progress. They will buy someone before the end of

the year. You will think so. They have never been in a better position

and they will kick themselves, in case Harry Kane falls over, why

wouldn't you go and buy somebody? But he has been very candid this

week, Mauricio Pochettino, he is not going to risk bringing he might have

used the phrase bad apple into the squad. That does not mean to say

you're not signing anyone. But there is obviously a real... You know...

There is going to be a lot of thought going into it before they

bring someone. I wouldn't be be? Because the person they bring in all

have to accept playing second fiddle to Harry Kane. You would think so.

The flip side of that, I guess, what a good player Harry Kane has become.

Every time I watch him I think he is becoming the complete centre

forward. His hold-up play is great, his linkup play, he provides his

share of assists and finishing and I think he's a great player and if we

are talking, as I am talking about England, he has to be pressing for a

place. The battle between him and Wayne Rooney, if it is a battle

between them, maybe you would like to think they can accommodate both

of them because I think to leave Harry Kane out of an England team is

a big call. I think he is the number one striker England and you can't

upset him. You cannot kick him, he gets on that, a fantastic work

ethic. Harry Kane and a N other, isn't it? He could play on his own

up there. Physical, strong, after powering other players. Do you look

at the Spurs squad and the improvement of Harry Kane and

Lamela, I know Nacer Chadli has been out injured. Moussa Dembele has had

a great season. Bearing in mind some of those players, they arrived as

part of the group... Can you see the influence of proper coaching on how

they have developed? Tottenham have got a set way of playing. You can

see from the stands, on television, how they set up. Each player knows

his job but they are quite fluid, a lot of movement, short list of

triangles in and around the age of the box. They sometimes over

elaborate. They try and score a perfect goal at times, they could be

more clinical. But going forward, they will be a force and they have a

lot of numbers of quality players. Delie Ali has been unbelievable. He

must, privately, have surprised them. He is young, he will improve,

he has been sensational, really. Dear, oh dear. Let's get an update

on the cricket. England 267-7, the deficit 208. Chris Woakes and Moeen

Ali fighting hard against South Africa. A new ball in hand. The pit

is slowly but surely coming to life. England 267-7. Leicester beat Stoke

3-0, three points clear at the top of the table before Arsenal play

Chelsea. How big a win was that for Leicester? Massive, a couple of

reasons. A little bit of a stutter of late. One out of five, drawn

three. Lost one. Few people asking some questions and perhaps some

doubts creeping in? Against Stoke, you never quite know what you're

going to come up against. They can be hit and miss. Yesterday they were

a mess and Leicester took full advantage. The first 20 minutes, it

was tight but they dominated, when Danny Drinkwater got the strike, the

first golfer Leicester outside the box... Yes! But when that went in,

there was no looking back. Excuse me, when they beat Tottenham the

other week, I think that was... If you are in the dressing room

afterwards, you seriously start thinking, we are going to finish in

the top four and we might even have a snigger at winning the whole

thing. They are ten points clear. I keep waiting for them to blow up. --

have a sneak. Stuttgart are decent team. I thought Spurs would beat

them and they are keeping going. You know, they are doing it with real

style, as well. Look at the assist from Riyad Mahrez for the third

goal. Absolutely great, Jamie Vardy still looking razor sharp. A great

team to watch. A couple of journalists up but United yesterday

were obviously comparing what it is like watching Leicester with United

but a couple of them saying Leicester are the best team he has

seen this season. Very good to watch. You watch them home and away

so when you look at them, the next run of games, Liverpool at home,

away against Manchester City and Arsenal... It's not really, judging

by how they have played a run that should concern them? They are not

intimidated by the prospect of those fixtures. If there was a run of

similar games before Christmas, a six-game period, everyone thought,

here we go, they will take a tumble and they did not. They lost one game

in that sequence, I think. They have gone on to confound the expert and

the expectations of most people. But it's a collective effort, Riyad

Mahrez and Jamie Vardy rightly getting plaudits. Do you think they

are built on partnerships to read the team? Whether it be Danny

Drinkwater... The team pretty much picks itself. Over the last couple

of months. All players throughout have come in and done a superb job.

Simpson proved if you doubters wrong. -- throughout the team. A few

of the reserves. And the manager. We talk about so-called experts, when

Claudio Ranieri was appointed there was almost uniform underwhelming...

Everybody was thinking, this is a step accurate and he has proved

everybody wrong. What he has done, superbly well, is look at the team,

he hasn't made any changes initially, it's been mentioned, he

has kept the backroom staff, that's important, Steve Walsh... They know

the players, the players know them and they can relate what he was

trying to do and he has adopted a system that suits the players. He

has got the personnel to do it. If Riyad Mahrez has scored two

penalties... Seven points clear and they would have won, highly likely,

against Bournemouth and Aston Villa. That is beyond belief. He has built

on Nigel Pearson, he did a good job. The players say that. Yes. One of

the games of the season at Carrow Road, Liverpool beating Norwich 5-4.

Even Jurgen Klopp was saying his side can be easy to play against. By

that, does he mean you can score against them from set pieces? You

can, you can believe them as well. They do not really have... If you

look at a lot of the teams that they have beaten this year, Crystal

Palace, West Ham... West Bromwich, look at those teams that are

physical but in the right manner with Liverpool, it's a real problem.

They concede from set pieces but they concede,

They concede from set pieces but left-back, Moreno, makes mistakes

They concede from set pieces but they have got at the club, the only

left-back before the end of August, the previous manager must have

looked and thought the previous manager must have

a left-back. He is at with the empties. Luis Enrique. Penalties

conceded yesterday, one of the most bizarre pieces of defending. Chelsea

when they won 3-1. The first role of defending, the guy you are marking,

no 30 years. It's a catalogue and the only thing for Jurgen Klopp, he

knew within two weeks what he had got. And it has not changed. He has

not had his mind changed. We are not that bad. They are about bad,

defensively. Izzard leadership? It's part of it, they are a soft touch.

-- is it leadership? To do your job, they can do it on occasions but it's

-- is it leadership? To do your job, Switched off. The ball was into the

box. People know they are a liability back there. The example

was Sebastian Bassong. liability back there. The example

of the game. Lumped liability back there. The example

Three of them backed off. They liability back there. The example

down, should have been a liability back there. The example

ground. Could you not? Yes. Salford. When it comes to the game, they

ground. Could you not? Yes. Salford. conceded a goal against Olson at

West Brom and Emre Can was marking him, I kid you not. The ball was

comment from behind me and I am shouting and looking at Olsen, he

never even looked at the ball and Olsen got a look in and scored. Come

on, Mark, your ladder is not a bad player. He could do with a bit of
