Media Matters: Sacking Slot? David Lynch on Results, Relegation Form and a Season Unravelling

Media Matters: Sacking Slot? David Lynch on Results, Relegation Form and a Season Unravelling

With Liverpool now drifting outside the Champions League places, Dave Davis and David Lynch confront the question many supporters are now asking out loud. Is Arne Slot under real threat? This episode cuts through emotion and focuses on evidence, laying bare Liverpool’s alarming run of form across nearly half a Premier League season. Lynch outlines why five wins in eighteen league games cannot be dismissed, why underlying metrics offer no comfort, and why comparisons with rival squads only deepen the concern. As the table tightens and pressure grows, this is a sober, data-led assessment of how precarious Liverpool’s position has become, and how quickly it could worsen. Learn more about your ad choices.

Media Matters: Abysmal Again - David Lynch on Bournemouth, Broken Patterns and Liverpool’s Slide

Dave Davis is joined by David Lynch to dissect another deeply worrying Liverpool performance, this time away at Bournemouth. With dominant possession but almost no attacking clarity, Liverpool once again fall short where it matters most. The discussion focuses on a familiar pattern: sterile control, defensive fragility, and a complete lack of structure in the final third. Lynch breaks down the underlying numbers, from chance quality to XG disparity, and explains why the result was not unfortunate, but fully deserved. As Liverpool sink further into poor form, questions begin to mount about tactical direction, player confidence, and whether this side is regressing in plain sight. Learn more about your ad choices.

Curtis Jones, his development and his future for Liverpool

Curtis Jones has been a bit of an afterthought this season.  Injured in pre-season, he missed the start of the campaign and then had to settle for a watching brief as Harvey Elliott claimed a midfield position for his own.  He’s made just one start this term and that arrived in the Carabao Cup. For the...

Curtis Jones – An Unfortunate Opportunity

Opportunity can be a key instance in any elite form of sport. To be able to take advantage of certain scenarios (in order to achieve personal gain), can make a career in top level football. Patience, readiness, desire and a single-minded determination to succeed can carry one through to greatness, and within this moment,...

Is Kelleher too good to be a back-up goalkeeper?

Liverpool might soon have a problem with Caoimhin Kelleher. If he keeps on developing at the rate he currently is, he’s going to be too good to be a back-up.  He’ll want a season as a starter and who can blame him?  Kelleher needs it if he’s to make that step up and fulfil his potential.  After...

The Brilliance of Steve McManaman

When listening to Champions League matches on BT Sport, there’s perhaps younger viewers unsure of the ex footballer on co-commentary. For the past few seasons a certain Scouse voice has echoed through the midweek coverage, and everyone should be made aware of what this man was, as a player himself. When thinking of the former...

The Rearguard Solution

Centre-back partnerships can offer sublime foundations and turn teams into serial winners. Alessandro Costacurta and Franco Baresi jump to the front of that formidable list, as a partnership that allowed the rest of the side to dominate literally everyone. In the modern game (especially within the Premier League), the ferocity of play and sheer culmination...

Klopp’s Campaign Management

Stubbornness, single mindedness, arrogance and an absolute inability to adjust one's methods, can be the downfall of even the best managers in modern football. In recent years we have seen the likes of Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho, unable to adapt to the modern needs of Premier League football, with both departing the division at...

Premier League and Champions League: where can Liverpool go?

The champions’ league finals and premier are current talks in the sports world, and many people want to know which teams qualify for this. While there is no confirmed news of it yet, there are great hopes for teams like Chelsea and Liverpool have been talked about when it comes to the leagues. One...

Who is Liverpool transfer target Karim Adeyemi?

It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the noise around Karim Adeyemi.  The 19-year-old was named as a Liverpool target by Transfermarkt recently and it is believed Red Bull Salzburg are willing to cash in on the recently capped Germany international if they receive a bid of €30million.  At first glance, that price tag seems to...

Daniel Sturridge – Truly Elite

There’s so many brilliant strikers that have worn the Liverpool shirt in the modern era. Young fans could be imagined replicating their goal scoring heroes of the past: Ian Rush, John Aldridge Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez topping the list of spectacular names. All of the above varied from elite to...

The World Class Upgrade

Under the Roy Evans regime, Neil Ruddock, John Scales, Phil Babb & Mark Wright were the options in defence. They were the central defenders in the mid nineties that saw a period of great attacking football from the reds. The likes of Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman were part of an exciting line up...

The Harvey Elliott injury

Why is it the people who regularly criticise referees for poor decisions are now using the fact Craig Pawson didn’t blow for a foul as a way to back up their beliefs that Pascal Strujik should not have been sent off?  Likewise, those who regularly mock the likes of Danny Murphy, Gabriel Agbonlahor and most...

How Liverpool FC have Fared Throughout the Pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic hit the world hard, and in certain sectors it was even more pronounced than others. Football and other close contact sports struggled, and it is only really now – nearing the end of 2021 – that things are starting to get back to normal. There is no doubt that Liverpool have...

Liverpool 3-2 Milan: Player ratings as Reds wrestle back three points

When Liverpool win their opening Champions League group game 3-2 at Anfield, it tends to be good omen. This was a game that got the juices flowing in a similar vein to that victory over Paris Saint-Germain three years ago, except this time the scoreline gave it the illusion of a contest. Thanks to a Jordan...

Xabi & Javier – The Reboot

Javier Mascherano and Xabi Alonso were a magnificent double act for the reds, with vital attributes that suited each other’s games perfectly. The balance of these two players were a joy to see, and we may be about to witness a similar midfield pairing evolve this season, that can become even more effective for...

How Steven Gerrard Can Become Liverpool Manager

When Ole Gunnar Solskjær became the Manchester United manager, it created a potential dilemma for the fans and the ex United players, especially those that are now pundits. The choices of David Moyes, Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho all failed to bring the required glory of old to United, and a familiar face...

Leeds 0-3 Liverpool: Observations as Elliott injury mars excellent victory

When Liverpool fans say that playing Leeds 'should suit us', this is why. Having been shut down by the low block of 10-man Chelsea prior to the international break, the Reds must have relished the space and the freedom they were afforded here. That's not to say Leeds are a push-over. Some would point to...

Jude Bellingham – All The Right Moves

There’s been so many different players that have threatened excellence, yet their eventual path has seen them achieve so little. Careers have been mapped out before their teenage years are complete, only for stalled progression, indifferent form and unlucky injuries to tarnish what could have been, and often times, what should have been. The emergence...

Top Liverpool Players Of All Time

Liverpool Football Club certainly boasts their team like no other with their many iconic players. Be it those ‘Famous Anfield nights’, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ or the ‘Spirit of Shankly’, football fans the world over recognise the iconic Merseyside terminology. Thanks to the club's recent resurgence under Jurgen Klopp, he has restored Liverpool to...

How Liverpool’s Left Wing Evolved

A few weeks ago, Burnley rolled into Anfield with a certain and pleasing team sheet on view. As the starting line ups were confirmed, something became evident, which was the squad numbers rolling out of the Burnley roster. To see numbers 1 through 11 was a lovely sight, especially if you’re a particular age...

Jan Molby – Liverpool’s Amazing Dane

The older you get, the more and more you appreciate fantastic memories from your past. As children we would sometimes be baffled by our parents' preference for ‘ancient’ music, movies or celebrities from their own youth. As I close in my 40th birthday, I acknowledge that I have become that very person, and fully...

Liverpool’s Magnificent Seven

I recently watched the remake of the Magnificent Seven, a modern take of the original classic. The film revolves around impossibly unrealistic scenarios, a suicide squad of unlikely heroes, with a battle to overcome the odds and succeed. The plot of the film is ridiculous, how the movie then plays out absurd, but the idea...

Clash Of The Reds’ World Class Titans

The history of Liverpool FC is littered with attacking brilliance, overflowing with characters, and allows the fans a chance to relive memorable moments with a smile. Recent years (predominantly the Premier League era), has seen a marvellous array of forwards grace the Anfield turf, and disagreements as to who was better than who, will...

If You Don’t Know Me By Now…

I wanted to distract a little from the joys of the transfer window, so would like to share some thoughts on one of the reds' greatest ever central defenders. Hint: it’s not Dejan Lovren. In 2008 Chelsea and Liverpool met on four separate occasions throughout the calendar year. The first, on February 10th (towards the back...

What will the return of Van Dijk mean for the Reds this season?

Liverpool were unable to defend their Premier League title last season. The Reds went through a disastrous period midway through the season, where injuries and poor form contributed to a steep decline. Jurgen Klopp’s side were able to steady the ship towards the end of the season. Impressive end of season form, including eight wins...

The FSG Dilemma

With the window now shut, it’s a worrying and continuing issue that has seen Liverpool fall behind their immediate rivals in the summer's recruitment. With vast sums being spent by both Manchester clubs, Tottenham & Chelsea, it’s now becoming a worry to see a club at the level of Liverpool seemingly happy to sit...

Whisper It, But 2019 Might Be Returning

2019/20 was the crowning season of a Liverpool team that had collected 99 points on the way to the title, beating the previous year’s 97 point total. Arguably one of the greatest sides in Premier League history, Steph Jones’ review of the team in The Guardian rightly asserted that the team played almost flawlessly,...

Don’t Look Back In Anger

The nervous nature and anticipation of a big major game rarely sees the emotional ride end when the final whistle blows. There’s sometimes jubilation, now and then dismay, and here and there it’s bitter annoyance. Football can offer the best of times, yet deliver periods of distress that can be absolute weekend destroyers. As match...

Diogo Jota: Liverpool’s future No9

It’s no secret that Liverpool would benefit from a reliable centre-forward. Roberto Firmino is good for double digits in the Premier League and he brings more to the team than just goals. But it is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook the fact a ruthless No9 would make a difference.  Now, the dream signing for most...

Harvey Elliott – Definitely, Maybe

The amount of young hopefuls to pass through the Liverpool factory is almost unlimited. Every fan will one day come across a name or a face as they watch some obscure early stage FA cup match, and see a senior pro still playing lower league football, that was was destined for the top. I can...
