David Lynch: CHIESA UPDATE & SLOT SPEAKS OUT ON QUANSAH SUB

Arne Slot held a press conference at the AXA Training Centre on Friday to preview Liverpool's weekend meeting with Brighton. After beating the same opposition in the League Cup in midweek, the Reds are aiming to keep pace at the top of the Premier League with another victory. But they must do so without a number of players after Slot issued a fitness update on Alisson Becker, Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa in his latest media briefing. Get the latest on that from reporter David Lynch, who was the training ground to hear from the manager. He also reveals what Slot had to say about his controversial withdrawal of Jarell Quansah in midweek and Andy Robertson's form. Watch on for a summary of the major points from the Dutchman's press conference and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Scouser Tommies: The Extra Yard

Scouser Tommies: The Extra Yard

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid return to look at all the latest on LFC from Liverpool. On this week’s show there’s a look back at the games against Arsenal and Brighton and a look ahead to the games against Brighton (again) and Leverkusen. Liverpool came away from the Emirates with a deserved point, but not so deserved if Arsenal fans are to be believed. The complaining about refereeing decisions, unless they’re on the right side of them, the inability to accept maybe they have some responsibility for their own bad days, the over-the-top celebrations after a win that meant nothing last season, they’re sounding more and more like another club we know all too well. The Reds were far from perfect in that game, there were plenty of points for the staff to take away and work on, but a point was fair enough. The next game was in the League Cup, away to Brighton, and although it was a much-changed side there were spells in that game, just like the one before, where Liverpool seemed content to sit back and let the opposition have all the ball. It’s not going to be easy watching Liverpool do this, it’s not what we’ve grown used to over the years, but so far so good, it’s bringing the results. The League Cup match was a game that gave Slot the chance to see what some of his backup players could do, and some took the opportunity better than others. Despite the win, it did show up some shortcomings amongst the squad, and perhaps some pointers on where the work needs to be done in the next window. Jay wonders if Tyler Morton might have done enough to put himself ahead of Endo as a fifth midfielder, although Jay almost thought he had a new role for Endo too, which didn’t quite work out. Slot explained what he saw Alexis Mac Allister’s role as being, and how he’s been familiar with the player’s abilities since long before he took over at Anfield. Slot’s comments on his midfield this week underline just how much he has a first XI in mind, with just tweaks here and there to handle injuries or fatigue. With what Slot already knew about his players, and what he’s learned so far, he and Richard Hughes must have some good ideas of where the gaps are and how to fill them. As Jay points out, given the lack of signings last summer, it would send out a positive message to fans if moves were made in the next window to strengthen the squad. As Jim adds, not sending that message would send out quite a different one and questions might start to be asked, not necessarily of Slot or Hughes. Next up it’s Brighton at home and, with the clocks going back last weekend, the yellow balls will be out at Anfield for the first time this season, the floodlights needed well before full time. Will it be a game with the same kind of atmosphere that Anfield is famous for under the floodlights? It’s a 3pm kick off too, a rarity that many fans want more of. After that it’s the return of Xabi Alonso, as he brings his Leverkusen side over for the next Champions League mega league match. Many wanted him to get the job that became Slot’s, so a lot will be read into how this game pans out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Attention Liverpool Fans, It’s time to Support & Believe

Gerrard is the reason we’re conceding so many goals… No, Johnson is the reason we’re conceding so many goals… No, Agger is the issue… Nope, it’s definitely Jon Flanagan’s fault… It’s definitely Kolo Toure being useless isn’t it. That’s the reason… Just listen to yourselves for a moment. Liverpool won a seven goal thriller to...

I’m on the Rodgers 12 point plan to Redemption

Are you with me? We are 12 league games away from something remarkable. The door to the riches of the Champions League is firmly open to us, it’s beckoning us in like the hostess of our favourite bar or nightclub. We would be foolish not to take up the offer, after all, who knows when...

Simon Mignolet: A potential problem averted

Summer signing Simon Mignolet slotted straight into the Liverpool setup, and has been one of the key players for the Reds so far this season. For goalkeepers, they're usually a commonly-used scapegoat for a lot of mishaps that go wrong in a campaign, especially those chasing the top places. As mentioned previously, not being in the...

Reject, Rewards & Rodgers

Whilst I appreciate that the title may be somewhat provocative if you look through the current Liverpool team, you will see many players who, at one point or another have been classed as rejects. In fact, from the team that played Fulham in the last Barclays Premier League game then there are only 3...

Home Sick: Why Liverpool Are Less Dominant Away From Anfield

Liverpool are remaking Anfield into a house of horrors for their rivals, losing only once at home this season. However, the club's away performances have lacked the same sort of conviction at times, especially against lesser sides, and as a result, Liverpool have a subpar away record that keeps them off the top of...

Rodgers’ Eleven: The Premier League Heist

A short, tanned and toned Northern Irishman sits at his desk looking at the remaining fixtures in front of him. He picks up his red fiber tip pen, and crosses out the latest of victims to fall to his mighty team. "Can we do it?" he thinks to himself, tapping his foot off the...

Is the Smart Money on Liverpool?

Four, long years. Four years of Champions League football wilderness, starting with the capitulation of the Rafa regime, continuing with Hodgeball and the return of the King, and most recently, an investment in what is fast becoming a special managerial talent in Brendan Rodgers. I’m circumventing a key issue in those four years, of course –...

Arsenal Vs Liverpool – FA Cup 5th Round Preview

We’re Gonna Win The League

I have a stat for you… Liverpool, compared with the league table at the same stage in 2008/9, are actually closer to the top of the Premier League now than in that magnificent season. Cast your mind back to 08/09. It was, we thought, the time when most thought Liverpool would once again ascend to the...
