Following Liverpool's pairing with Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16, Le Tissier and Dublin were in consensus that this was the best time in recent years to play the Bundesliga champions.
Manchester United are next under the spotlight after their abject display at Anfield. Paul Pogba's future was discussed after the Frenchman spent the whole game on the bench, before attention turned to their top-four and Champions League aspirations, after drawing PSG.
Southampton legend Le Tissier then gives the lowdown on new manager Ralph Hassenhuttl, and how he has turned to him to help unite the club.
