On today's episode Dave discusses the game from the weekend as the reds beat Brentford 3-0. He then focuses on our captain Van Dijk, as he discusses the 'longevity' argument that surrounds Van Dijk's standing is an all time great. 

On the latest RAW, Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi assess the performances and analyse the key moments in an emphatic and deserved win for Liverpool over Brentford. On an afternoon which saw the Reds faced with a fair degree of threat, it was heartening to discuss a comprehensive victory with an impaired squad. Amongst the topics discussed are: the return to imperious form of VVD; the encouraging displays of Endo and Tsimikas after many had lost faith in them; the perpetual magnificence of Alisson Becker; the delightful purple patch of Diogo Jota; Mo Salah's potential to be the Greatest Red Ever; Darwin Nunez silencing his critics; Paul Tierney being a terrible set of lads: the idiocy of not enhancing dead-ball tech; Dave's infamous disciplinary record and Joel Matip being one of the best lads ever.

After the misfiring Reds rescued a point against Luton last weekend, a much changed side fell to defeat against a struggling Toulouse on Thursday. It’s left Liverpool in need of a response this weekend as they welcome an in from Brentford to Anfield. Rival Recon returns as Hari welcomes on lifelong Bees fan and Ambassdor for Her Game Too, Ali Mullaley. The pair discuss the progress Brentford have made since being promoted, how they’ve adapted to the loss of Toney and how far Thomas Frank can take this side.

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back after missing a couple of weeks and so there is plenty to discuss this time round, not least the half dozen games the Reds have played since. The last couple of performances haven’t been much to write home about, but that draw and defeat came off the back of a good run of wins and even some clean sheets, so as demoralising as the last seven days feel, there’s still plenty to look forward to.
