Finally! After weeks wondering where the next win was coming from, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid finally get to talk positives, celebrating the Reds clicking back into gear, at least for one night.
Recent form had Reds everywhere dreading another defeat and trying to fathom exactly where it was all going wrong. While one result doesn’t mean everything’s sorted, Liverpool’s performance offered Arne Slot and his side a few clear pointers on what to do differently. On this week’s Scouser Tommies, Jim and Jay compare the last two outings, from the frustration of that defeat against Manchester United to the turnaround that led to not just a win, but a five-goal statement win.
The hosts dig into what changed: tweaks to tactics, tireless work in midfield, and standout displays from Florian Wirtz, Dominik Szoboszlai, and local lad Curtis Jones. You don’t need to be a local to be a Red—Jay and Jim will be the first to tell you—but perhaps only a local truly feels the sting of losing in a city where the neighbours pounce on every opportunity to have a go at you after a loss.Not that even this awful run, the worst in many a memory, was enough for the Blues to claim the high ground. No matter how rough it gets, that lot finds a way to make everything feel a bit less bad!
As always there’s sharp football analysis and the usual dose of Scouse wit. Referee drama - as predicted last week - and Mo Salah’s patchy form come under the microscope, but the focus is on footballing basics: winning the midfield, keeping things simple, and playing with pride. With Brentford away looming, can Liverpool turn this long-awaited win into a genuine spark for a strong run? That league table doesn’t look quite so bad now…
