On the latest RAW, Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi put in a 98 minute shift reacting to the very impressive Liverpool win at Brentford. As ever, the performances were assessed and key moments analysed on a n afternoon which saw the Reds maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League despite losing another two first teamers to worrying injuries.
On the latest episode of The Anfield Index Podcast, Trev Downey, Kam Brainch and Lisa Marie Hanahan discuss a wide variety of Reds-related topics, including: the best defensive line-up while Trent is injured; the options in midfield; is it fair to drop Luis Diaz? is Harvey Elliott best as a sub? do you prioritise the league games over the cup final? is it a blessing in disguise that Kelleher will have two more games ahead of the final or a disaster to lose Alisson for a spell? how should Mo Salah and Conor Bradley be managed? how much of a loss will Szoboszslai be? and many more.
Plenty for Jim Boardman and Jay Reid to discuss on this week’s episode of Scouser Tommies, as the temporary slowdown in fixtures comes to an end and we go back to two big games a week.
The heavy schedule has taken its toll on the Reds squad, as discussed many times over the course of this campaign, and as soon as one or two come back another one or two break down. Seems we’ve a long wait before we get an empty treatment room. Is any of it our own doing - did Jurgen Klopp rush Trent Alexander Arnold back too soon for example? It’s easier than you think to work out what should be a fairly obvious answer to that question, as Jay and Jim discuss.
As for the injuries themselves, why is it some clubs seem to get tons of sympathy if even one important player is missing, where Liverpool are kind of just expected to get on with it, even when numerous key names are absent and the youngsters are filling in.
Confirmation this week that Sven-Goran Eriksson is set to play a part as a member of the Reds management team for the next LFC Legends game. The news was welcomed by fans and Reds staff alike and it was no surprise the club went to the effort of making the lifelong Liverpool fan part of the occasion, at what is, to say the least, a very difficult time for him.
As always, the lads across the park are available to lighten the mood.

- Trent’s injury - was he pushed too soon?

In the latest episode of the Post-Conference Presser Podcast on Anfield Index, host Eddie Gibbs, once more standing in for Dave Davis; and guest Guy Drinkel dissected Klopp's insights and strategies ahead of Liverpool's challenging match against Brentford.
Klopp expressed optimism with key players, including Salah, returning to training. Emphasising caution, he stated no player would be rushed back prematurely, pointing to the Brentford game as "super tricky" due to their prowess in set pieces.
Klopp stressed that Liverpool must be at their peak to secure a win, focusing on limiting Toney's impact and maintaining defensive strength against Brentford's set-piece advantage. The discussion also touched on Liverpool's recent 3-1 victory over Burnley, with Harvey Elliott's standout performance and the forward line's effectiveness.
Despite Brentford's previous success against Liverpool and their set-piece threat, Klopp's tactical adjustments and player adaptability, especially from young talents like Harvey Elliott, were underlined as key factors for the upcoming game. Predictions for the match's lineup and outcome, alongside Klopp's comments on player conditions and team strategies, rounded off the podcast, setting the stage for an intense encounter.
