On this bonus international break Transfer Show, Trev Downey and Dave Davis tackle the thorny topic of the midfield. What is the best shape? Which players are the best fit for that shape? Who can we count on? What combination of players and tactics will bring this team success? In an attempt to answer these questions, Trev and Dave assess the contributions of each of the eight nominal midfielders thus far (the Trent discussion is for another show) and asks what we will need from each of them in order to be successful in this campaign, before ranking them in order of their importance to Liverpool between now and May.

On the latest RAW, Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi assess the performances and analyse the key moments in an emphatic and deserved win for Liverpool over Brentford. On an afternoon which saw the Reds faced with a fair degree of threat, it was heartening to discuss a comprehensive victory with an impaired squad. Amongst the topics discussed are: the return to imperious form of VVD; the encouraging displays of Endo and Tsimikas after many had lost faith in them; the perpetual magnificence of Alisson Becker; the delightful purple patch of Diogo Jota; Mo Salah's potential to be the Greatest Red Ever; Darwin Nunez silencing his critics; Paul Tierney being a terrible set of lads: the idiocy of not enhancing dead-ball tech; Dave's infamous disciplinary record and Joel Matip being one of the best lads ever.
