Jeremy Jacquet is Liverpool’s Next Defensive Star

Dave Davis turns to the reasons for optimism as Liverpool assess Jérémy Jacquet’s potential and the decisions shaping their defensive options. Jacquet is the central focus: a player offering hope as Andoni Iraola works to build a more dependable team. The discussion considers the importance of developing that promise without allowing expectations to run ahead of what any young defender can reasonably deliver. There is also attention on Ronald Araujo, with the existence of a buy option adding significance to his place in Liverpool’s plans. How might that option influence the club’s thinking as the season unfolds? The approaching Carabao Cup fixture provides the next talking point, bringing selection, rotation and opportunities into focus. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Player Ratings: Jacquet Shines as Gags and Sam Assess Fulham Frustration

Liverpool’s goalless draw with Fulham produced a revealing player-ratings discussion on Anfield Index’s Rate Don’t Hate, as Gags Tandon and Sam Quaye assessed an afternoon of defensive reassurance and attacking frustration. Jérémy Jacquet emerged as the shared man of the match. Gags praised his composure, while the conversation highlighted his crucial intervention on the line. Both presenters awarded Virgil van Dijk seven, recognising another solid defensive contribution despite reservations about his passing. Alisson’s clean sheet was balanced against an error, bringing six from Sam and six-and-a-half from Gags. Ronald Araujo divided opinion slightly, with defensive reliability weighed against limitations when asked to advance down the right. Further forward, fatigue became a recurring explanation. Florian Wirtz received six from Gags and five from Sam, who praised his willingness to demand possession but criticised his execution. Dominik Szoboszlai’s performance also prompted questions about expectations, positional suitability and future leadership. Alexander Isak offered encouragement. Sam awarded seven, with Gags giving six, and both recognised his improved involvement after the interval. Sam argued that the striker should keep creating opportunities for himself when service is limited. Bradley Barcola’s restricted supply and the substitutes’ modest impact reinforced concerns about Liverpool’s attacking connections. Discussion of Rio Ngumoha stressed the need for development, better decisions and combination play. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

FAN REACTION: Empty Tank at Anfield as Gags and Sam Unpick Liverpool’s Fulham Frustration

Liverpool’s goalless draw with Fulham prompted a frustrated but detailed discussion on Anfield Index’s Full Time Reds, with Gags Tandon and Sam Quaye examining why Andoni Iraola’s side struggled to sustain their recent improvement. Gags identified fatigue as a central issue, arguing that a third match in a week exposed a squad still adapting to more demanding football. Sam agreed that Liverpool’s best moments arrived in short bursts of pressing and intensity, followed by periods of passivity that allowed Fulham to settle. The midfield attracted the strongest criticism. Both questioned the balance between Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, highlighting positional discipline, defensive awareness and the quality of Liverpool’s progression. Their concern extended to Florian Wirtz, whose attacking influence, they argued, suffered because he was repeatedly required to cover deeper areas. Learn more about your ad choices.

NEWSROUND SPECIAL: DOUBLE PIVOT & PLAYER PROBLEMS

Major changes could be coming to Liverpool as the club begins planning the next stage of its squad rebuild. On Newsround with Lewis, Lewis reacts to reports that Alisson Becker is not expected to be offered a new contract and discusses whether the Brazilian's time at Anfield could be approaching its conclusion. Virgil van Dijk's future is also under the spotlight amid reported interest from Saudi Arabia, MLS and Turkey, with Lewis explaining why he'd be reluctant to lose both Liverpool leaders in the same summer. Attention then turns to Liverpool's attack and growing links with Rayan. Could Andoni Iraola reunite with a player he knows well — and could a huge move depend on Cody Gakpo leaving Anfield?

Michael Olise, Federico Chiesa and Liverpool's midfield requirements also enter the transfer conversation as Lewis assesses where the club should prioritise its spending.

Gakpo OUT, Rayan IN?! Liverpool's Huge £130m Transfer Decision

Could Liverpool be preparing for another major shake-up in their attack next summer? On Newsround with Lewis, Lewis reacts to reports that Liverpool are keeping a close eye on Rayan, a player Andoni Iraola knows well from Bournemouth. With a reported £130m release clause becoming active next summer, Lewis questions whether Liverpool could possibly justify that price — and whether any move would depend on Cody Gakpo leaving Anfield. Michael Olise also enters the discussion as Lewis assesses whether Liverpool could ever tempt the Bayern star to Anfield, while arguing that strengthening midfield should be a greater priority than spending another enormous fee on an attacker. There's also discussion surrounding Federico Chiesa's future, with Lewis believing a January departure is becoming increasingly possible given his lack of involvement. Finally, attention turns to Liverpool's Premier League clash with Fulham as Lewis picks his starting XI, explains why Ronald Araujo should keep his place and calls the fixture a must-win for Iraola's side.

End Of An ERA?! Alisson & Van Dijk Liverpool FC Futures Revealed

Could Liverpool be preparing to say goodbye to two of the defining players of their modern era? On today's Newsround with Lewis, Lewis reacts to reports that Liverpool do not intend to offer Alisson Becker a new contract, potentially bringing the Brazilian goalkeeper's remarkable eight-year stay at Anfield to an end next summer. Attention also turns to Virgil van Dijk, with interest reportedly emerging from Saudi Arabia, MLS and Turkey as Liverpool consider whether to extend their captain's contract. Lewis explains why he believes Van Dijk can still play a major role at Anfield and why losing both him and Alisson in the same summer would represent a huge changing of the guard.
