Marcus did the morning on Wednesday in a function room with the curtains shut.
He did not show me Salah. He showed me Liverpool's full backs. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson, 9 clips each, and in every 1 of the 18 the full back was in our half and their midfield 3 were pressing behind him like a net being pulled in.
"Henderson, Milner, Wijnaldum," Marcus said. "They do not try to win it. They try to make you give it to them. Every pass you play backwards, 2 of them run at the man you played it to."
They did it for about 20 minutes the first time, he said, and then they rested for 5, and then they did it again. He stopped the clip on the 5.
"That is where we live, boss. Or we do not live anywhere."
Bray had Liverpool's corners on a sheet and did not waste a sentence on them. Ours he had on his laminated card, and he took Konaté and Tarkowski into the corridor for 10 minutes and came back without them.
