It hasn’t happened for whatever reason, but Liverpool won’t be complaining. He's a very genuine lad. I’ve spoken to him a few times and I know people who have been around him.
He is a brilliant goalkeeper and he is brilliant on the ball as well. He's everything that you want from your goalkeeper at this moment in time. He is quality and he was by far Ireland’s best player against England on Saturday. He kept the score down.
He’s like a quarterback. Some of the balls he puts in behind and plays to people, he’s just out of this world.
He looks like he’s got his appetite for it. A couple of times last season, maybe not, but he’s got it back and has that appetite to do better than he did last year.
He gets unfair criticism but he has nothing to prove. He is what he is when he is played in the right position.
Liverpool have gotten the best out of him for years by doing that and it seems like the penny might have now dropped for England too.

Mac Allister injury concern
I’m hoping that the Alexis Mac Allister injury has been blown out of proportion by the media because if you’re injured, you can’t play.
Sometimes you have got to step back from injury. You can play with a knock so maybe it’s just a knock. You don’t want to aggravate it in training.
So with all the specialties around, it can’t be anything muscular or whatever. It must be doable for him to work around it. Fingers crossed anyway because Liverpool need him.
RIP Ron Yeats
It was just a pleasure to know Ron Yeats. He was such a great fella. His family have obviously suffered along with Ron for some years now. He had Alzheimer's and it’s really sad.
What he did for Liverpool and his love for Liverpool. He worked for Liverpool as well, he actually scouted me. When I was at Oxford and moved to Liverpool, he was part of the scouting group.
And my very first game when I watched Liverpool in the mid-60s, he was obviously such a part of it, as the captain and a leader. It was just a privilege to have met the man.
