On the latest RAW, Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Karl Matchett attempt to analyse Liverpool's dead rubber final group fixture against Union Saint Gilloise in the Europa League from Anderlecht's rather battered home pitch which ended in only the third defeat of the season. On a night which saw an unfortunately ineffective blend of youth and experience, the Reds managed to underwhelm on a level even the most pessimistic would have struggled to predict. The lads discuss: the oddness of the line-up; the absentees that were Gakpo, Endo, Gravenberch, Elliot, Jones and Nunez; the potential of Quansah - a star in the making; the troublesome truth that We Need To Talk About Kevin (Caoimhín) and much more.
On today's episode (December 14th 2023) Dave looks at the teams from the Champions League that have dropped into the Europa with the groups stages finishing on Wednesday. He then looks at Liverpool's record this season, and the performances this season.
On the latest Transfer Podcast, Trev Downey and Dave Davis look at the potential comings and goings at LFC, across the Premier League and around Europe. The lads cram a huge amount into this 50 minute podcast, including: Klopp pouring cold water on transfer fever dreams; Carvalho, Phillips and Williams all to return after disastrous loans?; that Palhinha rumour was a load of bobbins; the links with Maxence Lacroix; a potential contract extension for Konaté; Newcastle and David de Gea; United's ongoing investment uncertainty and the likelihood of more signings and exits in January; Forest's contract issues, cooper on the brink and big Divock's fitness; Pochettino's desire for more players and why Chelsea will continue to be a madhouse; Luis Suarez considering the Barca retirement home in Miami; Bayern are such drama queens; Frimpong attracting PL suitors and much much more!!
