Dave also looks at the impact of Luis Diaz this season with the Colombian picked up some undeserved criticism after the weekend.Â
He also looks at Ryan Gravenberch and what the Dutchman can build from after a promising performance from the new signing.Â

On today's episode Dave looks ahead to the game against Everton as Sean Dyche's men currently sit 16th, albeit with an easy fixture list so far. He looks at their strengths and weaknesses, and also how do Liverpool come into this game? Unfortunately Robertson's injury has been given a timeline with Scotland's captain reportedly set to miss 3-4 months.Â
That lot are coming over from across the park and Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are looking forward to another derby day clash with the happy neighbours. With referees dominating so much of the talk for Reds fans lately it’s a bit of a change to be up against the side that haven’t stopped talking about officials since long before they last won a trophy.

Rival Recon returns as Hari welcomes on football editor for CBS Sports.com & one half of the Double Pivot podcast Mike Goodman, to preview the upcoming Merseyside Derby this Saturday at Anfield.
After recent set-backs against Spurs and Brighton dampened the early season momentum of Klopp’s side somewhat, the Reds will be looking to make an emphatic statement when they take on the blues at Anfield this Saturday. Jota will return, but it appears as though Andy Robertson could be out for a prolonged period after dislocating his shoulder.
Listen in to Hari’s chat with Mike to get a better insight into how Everton are fairing this season and how Dyche is going about developing this side into a more robust and surprisingly progressive unit.
On today's episode Dave looks at some homegrown players that could be of interest to Liverpool. The two players could address two problem positions for Liverpool with a versatile 6 who could also cover RB and CB, and a LB who could potentially grow into an option in midfield, or perhaps be part on winger rotation, both however don the Blue of Chelsea.
