Scouser Tommies: One Last Time

Scouser Tommies: One Last Time

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back for another episode of Scouser Tommies on the eve of the Merseyside derby, just after seeing the Reds drop a couple of points over Newcastle.. Since the last episode Slot’s side have taught lessons to both Real Madrid and Manchester City, but last time out they were unable to complete the job up in the North East, and a lot of focus has been on the part of Alisson Becker’s deputy in that scoreline. Arne certainly isn’t going out of his way to make Kelleher feel any worse than he already does for misjudging the situation right at the end, is that what we expect from the boss? Jay’s also spotted an interesting sequence on how often (or not) it is that Arne’s men drop points. The Newcastle game was also yet another Mo Salah show, the Egyptian king scoring two of the Reds three and setting up the other. Has any Liverpool player seeking a new contract ever proved so emphatically that he should get it? Rumours abound that something might be close, but rumours like this are just an extension of silly season, meaning it’s probably best to wait for something official before celebrating, same with Virgil and Trent. Jay and Jim are holding out hope for a special festive photo of all three celebrating new deals, and they’ve also got the hashtag to go with it. As big as those games were against the sides from Madrid and Manchester, for most Reds on Merseyside the derby is on a level of its own. Not because the opposition are flirting with dropping down a level for the fourth season in a row, but because it beats any other fixture in the calendar for how important it is to win it. It’s not just important for the points that might be on stake, or the progression it might bring in a knockout competition, and maybe you have to live here to truly understand it, but losing that fixture is unthinkable. Especially when the whole weekend follows it, thanks to the early kick-off. Losing there last season wasn’t really that big a deal, logically, even with the manner of the defeat. Liverpool were already out of the league in real terms and were getting ready to say goodbye to the old boss. The match wasn’t going to make any true difference to where LFC ended the season in the table. But losing it, and losing it the way we did, hurt. And of course it would have been cause for a DVD release across the park if DVDs were still a thing. So yes, they do keep mentioning it at every opportunity. At least it stops them mentioning Collina, but still, there’s one way to stop it... This will be the last Merseyside derby at Goodison, unless the FA Cup draw throws another one in, and for Jay and Jim there’s no better way to say goodbye to that place as a Red than to say it with a win. Assuming it’s still standing by kick-off, given the latest weather warning. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Is ‘Box’ the New ‘Triangle’ for Liverpool? – Part 1

In the recent weeks we have seen Liverpool implement the 3-4-2-1 formation across competitions and the formation has proved to be successful. So what has made Brendan Rodgers use the 3-4-2-1 in the last few weeks? What options has it provided us pre-game and in-game? Are there weaknesses or more appropriately ways for the opposition...

Selling Liverpool’s Potential

Selling the Project Project. A term that's being overly used these days by players, managers, owners, the media and even fans when discussing football.  Some clubs are able to just 'sell' the club to potential signings, but other teams who, let's just say don't have the deepest of pockets now have to sell the 'project'...

Can he do it? Of course! He’s Emre Can

When Liverpool bought Emre Can you would have been forgiven for assuming the young German’s role would be as another midfield option. Not many would have guessed that since Christmas he hasn’t missed a second of action. Some might have even seen Can at Bayer Leverkusen and thought no this kid is going to be...

Liverpool’s Small Club Mentality

"Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome" - Isaac Asimov There is a myopic idealism amongst many Liverpool fans that once Daniel Sturridge makes his long awaited return everything will fall into place and the Reds will once again get Champions League football. The void left by the former Chelsea man has...

Steven Gerrard: Enjoying It While He Can

One of the big debates recently has been which side of the fence you're sitting on regarding Steven Gerrard. Was it the right time? Should the club have done more to keep him? After announcing his future move to LA Galaxy, there's now no turning back. The Liverpool captain will not complete the fairytale of...

Will Steven Gerrard’s Spark Find its Place in The Galaxy?

The recent announcement that Steven Gerrard will be joining LA Galaxy at the end of this season will be met with plenty of questions, not least the age-old quandary of where to play him. His only role so far is that of designated player (a player who doesn't count towards the team’s salary cap),...

Attack isn’t The Best Form of Defence for Liverpool FC

Attack isn’t the best form of Defence. The shambles known as the Liverpool defence has been a, if not THE, topic of conversation amongst Liverpool fans ever since Brendan Rodgers took over at the club.  With the goals against column worsening with each season Rodgers’ is at the helm, its little surprise the defensive signings...

Fed Up of Transition at Liverpool FC

Here we go again….another transitional period awaits Liverpool Football Club. In fact, for the past 20 years Liverpool Football Club and the word transition have been together hand in hand.

Why is Gerrard leaving LFC?

He is my footballing hero. The kid who became a man at Anfield that allowed so many fans like myself to dream. He was the player I saw in Istanbul, drive his team forward and win the Champions League. He is Steven Gerrard. Over the next six months the world will rightly laud his footballing...

Raheem Sterling: Adapting to a Striker’s Life

We had Sturridge, but we're still counting down the days until he returns. We tried Balotelli, but we haven't seen his quality. We tried Borini, and well... he got sent off. In days gone by we could have tried Steven Gerrard further up the pitch, but that isn't a long-term solution with him now being...
