Jason Cundy might be more careful next time he complains about Liverpool.
The talkSPORT Sports Bar host admitted he was getting fed up with how good the Reds look under new coach Arne Slot when he was rudely interrupted.
Liverpool had just blasted past Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 in the Champions League for arguably their best win of the season.
Luis Diaz bagged a hat-trick and Cody Gakpo added another as last season’s undefeated Bundesliga champions suffered their worst defeat under Xabi Alonso, coming at his old Anfield home.
The result means Slot continues his record start with 14 wins from 16 games, and former Chelsea player and Blues fan Cundy was telling Liverpool caller Tony about his frustrations.
“They’re starting to annoy me now, they just get results,” he said. “You know they’re good, but then you come away thinking 4-0? They just spanked Leverkusen 4-0?
“I think there’s probably more to come from this Liverpool side, that’s what’s worrying me.”
The caller then passed his phone over to none other than UFC star Paddy Pimblett – who has some thoughts on the team he supports.
“I did expect this,” the Liverpool fan said. “
Before Slot came, I said Jurgen [Klopp] was our generation’s [Bill] Shankly and Arne Slot was going to be our generation’s [Bob] Paisley.
“He’s going to win more than Jurgen did and I can’t wait to be proved right.”
When noticing that his talkSPORT co-host had stopped complaining about Liverpool since Pimblett joined the call, Jamie O’Hara commented: “You’ve gone a bit quiet now haven’t you!”

To which Cundy replied: “We go back a long way, me and Paddy…”
Seemingly a regular listener, Pimblett then added: “There’s been a few times where I was going to drive all the way down…”
The subject then turned to Liverpool’s trio of impending free agents, Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Pimblett, who also hosts a podcast about the club, gave his thoughts, saying: “We’d love all three of them to stay. Personally I think Virg and Salah are going to stay and I think Trent’s going to Madrid.”
With the chat finally at an end, Cundy then joked about Pimblett once he’d hung up.
“He’s all mouth and no trousers, Paddy… He’s not still there, is he?” Cundy said to much laughter.
