Craig returns to the viewer poll about Alejandro Balde and discusses the report claiming Liverpool have made the Barcelona left-back a January priority. That develops naturally into the wider left-back problem: the decision to bring Kostas Tsimikas back, James Pearce's criticism of that decision, Milos Kerkez's form, Luke Chambers as an alternative and why genuine competition is needed.
