The new Molby On The Spot features a very interesting conversation between host, Trev Downey, and Reds legend, Jan Molby, on a variety of topics. The Danish maestro gives his take on the emergence of Joe Gomez as the ideal partner for VVD, he opines on the calming effect of Alisson Becker and he tells Trev that Jordan Henderson may have to wait until after the international break to reclaim his starting berth. The lads look ahead to the Saturday game against Brighton and Jan even talks 80s fashion, telly and hairstyles with Trev, who can relate to the first two, at least…
