With the mundanity of the international break and the absence of proper football, the latest episode of Molby On The Spot is a call-in and subscribers’ questions bonanza. Host Trev Downey takes more of a back seat as two callers put Jan through his paces on topics as varied as the Souness era, the best dead-ball experts, Dalglish vs Laudrup and Rafa vs Klopp. The subscribers’ queries are equally on-point and The Great Dane is on typically insightful and entertaining form as he navigates them.
