Dave discusses the injury picked up by Andy Robertson yesterday, as the Scotland captain seemingly dislocated his shoulder. He then looks at Virgil Van Dijk as our new skippers level as a player has been questioned recently. He looks at Virgil's comparison to all time greats, and the comparison to the new crop of CB's who are perhaps being overrated. 

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back for another episode of Scouser Tommies, in the week that Liverpool admitted they'd sold tickets for seats that don't exist, with the club admitting the Anfield Road upper tier won't even be ready this year, let alone in time for the derby. It was also the week that saw England’s football officials prove they aren’t just bad in Liverpool games, but of course ensuring they are still bad in Liverpool games. It's not all about stands and referees and there's plenty more Reds stuff up for discussion, even if the proper footy has dried up now thanks to the international break.

Dave looks though Liverpool news sites for subjects to discuss as the dreaded international break rumbles on! Dave talks about the the delay in the development of the Anfield Road Stand as the stand will continue at reduced capacity until 2024. There's also positives and negatives from the season so far. There are also fresh transfer rumours surrounding Andre, Dave looks at the Brazilian talent and whether he is actually a good fit for the no.6 position. 

On a bonus edition of The Transfer Show, Trev Downey and Dave Davis focus their attention on the success of Liverpool's summer signings. When the window closed and the club had signed four midfielders and no defenders the lads were skeptical about the lack of a ball-winning number six and some defensive cover on the left. Now, a few months have they changed their minds? Also, what areas (and what players) might be targeted in January? The second half of the show is dedicated to half term reports on each of the new boys - Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch and Endo. The lads have a chat about each of the newest Reds and rate their contributions to date. As ever, a great chat with a few laughs, some analysis, a dose of speculation and plenty of opinion.

The whole crew are re-united for the double header against Union and Brighton. Darth hosts Rhodesy, Si and Barts and the lads discuss: Union SG Rotation and selection Match statistical summary Gravenberch and Quansah analyis Why Fulham were surprised we went for Elliott Brighton Lineups and detailed match stats. a 50/50 game? Brighton heavily impacted by the Europa League The LFC plan for Elliott LFC in buildup. Szobo isolated, Alisson in midfield. Reds overthinking it? Lack of switches. Errors for opener LFC out of possession. Big changes compared to the same fixture last season. Pressing analysis Grav the turning point Robbo's brain fart

On this episode Dave & Karl start off with a quick discussion about the Brighton game before moving onto the topics in hand! Firstly the pair create teams of players with their names, we have the team of Dave's vs the team of Karl's! Then for the main event the pair go head to head as Dave is tasked with creating and Ireland XI which is taking on a Relegation XI made by Karl. What would be your teams?

Dave looks though Liverpool news sites for subjects to discuss as the dreaded international break begins! He discusses Alexis Mac Allister, and the Argentine maestro currently being played out of position. He looks at his role at both Brighton and at Liverpool, with the Seagulls playing very different football, and obviously had Caicedo beside Alexis too.  Dave also discusses the knock on affect on Dominik as he believes the Hungarian man of the match machine being capable of even more if his defensive burden is lifted even slightly. He also looks at Harvey Elliott's continued role as a midfielder. 

On the latest Molby On The Spot Trev Downey and Reds legend Jan Molby reflect on the week that was for Liverpool. Jan talks about Klopp's midfield experimentation, with Szoboszlai swopped to accommodate Elliot as a right-sided midfielder and Mac Allister continuing in the 6 role. The lads discuss Endo in this context and Trev asks Jan if he ever had any 'project' players while he was a manager - the answer is both revealing and entertaining. There is a chat about the ongoing Trent experiment and whether or not Joe Gomez should have started for this particular game and the lads reflect on one point from six in the wake of other results in the Premier League. Jan gives his opinion on Roberto De Zerbi as a manager and this leads into a conversation about Manchester United, Ten Haag and the dearth of truly great managers in the current era. Trev and Jan assess the next batch of games after the international break and there's a high degree of optimism that it can be a productive period for Klopp's men and Jan tells Trev about his night out with Ian Rush, Jimmy White and Alex Higgins when all of them were in their 80s pomp.

Dave looks back at Sunday's game against Brighton as the reds draw with De Zerbi's men. Dave also looks at the defence and the need to evolve, with a look at Trent's role, with a look at perhaps moving the playmaker into midfield, to sure up the defence. He also discusses Robertson, and why Liverpool may need to be looking for a succession plan in the summer. 

On the latest RAW Trev Downey, Hari Sethi and Dave Hendrick spend a record 103 minutes talking about Brighton 2 Liverpool 2. Yet again, we have more PGMOL incompetence influencing a Liverpool game as Anthony Taylor fails to red card Solly March. Klopp's midfield selection leaves the lads in total confusion. Mac as the 6? Dom on the left? Harvey on the right against a team that loves to attack that flank? Why was Endo withdrawn at half time against Union? Had Gravenberch not earned a start ahead of Elliot? The continued insistence on the Trent experiment seems to have far more downside than up. Brighton were a far more cohesive unit than Liverpool in the first half but Mo Salah proves his class yet again to see the Reds go in ahead. Liverpool had very little by way of response to conceding the equaliser to leave Klopp's men with just one point from six.
