Dave & Karl discuss the game against Forest on Saturday with the tricky trees sitting uncomfortably close to the relegation zone. They also discuss right backs.
In this week’s episode of Scouser Tommies, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid have to talk about the kids, because thanks in no small part to them the Reds have another trophy to add to the honours list and a place in the quarter finals of another.
Liverpool’s injury problems are probably the worst in a long time, but a string of Academy graduates have proven themselves to be worthy solutions to those problems. At Wembley for the final against Chelsea the boss was able to muster up almost a full side of recognised first team players, even if not all necessarily first choices, but the bench was decidedly youthful.
A few days later he called more youngsters up for the visit of Southampton in the FA Cup, with little time to prepare properly, and they came away with a 3-0 win, goals all scored by players who even a week before had never played a first team game. Local lads Koumas - on his debut - and Danns, with two, got the headlines, but there were plenty more youngsters making sure the Reds got through, none of whom looked out of place or remotely out of their depth.
