It’s Derby week and In this week’s episode Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are getting ready for the fixture everyone in the city looks forward to with a mix of excitement and nerves.
These games always mean far more than any other in a season, regardless of anything they might do to a league table, but this one has an added edge it’s not had in a while.
For one thing, it’s going to be Jurgen Klopp’s last trip across the park before he leaves at the end of the season, and although it doesn’t look like being the last Merseyside Derby for everyone for a while, Everton will be desperate for a point just in case any outstanding Premier League points deduction decisions go against them.
For Liverpool it’s essential they come away with three points to keep their outside hopes of the title alive, and as Jay and Jim discuss, they’re going to need the right players on the pitch to make that happen.
Whether those players will still be able to stand on the pitch at the end is another matter altogether given some of the previous season’s Derby casualties.
Also this week there was a chance to catch up on the games since the last Scouser Tommies, because while we were away from the airwaves the Reds had a blip to say the least. Defeats against Atalanta and Palace followed what felt like a defeat against the Mancs and it started to feel like the wheels had fallen off.
A win against Fulham away at the weekend got Klopp’s men back on the right tracks though, and, as Jim and Jay discuss, all Liverpool can do now is win their own games and see where that’s got them to at the end of the season.
Time is running out on Jurgen’s era and Jay and Jim want to enjoy every last bit of what’s left, because before we know it, that train will have stopped and we’ll have a new driver waiting to take over.
As for who that next driver is, there has been some more speculation, Jim and Jay share their thoughts.
