After two miserable losses on the bounce for Liverpool, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid try to keep spirits up on this week’s Scouser Tommies. They share their views on where things have gone wrong for the Reds since opening up that five point gap at the top of the Premier League, also remembering they are actually still top of the table!
For Jay and Jim it’s not so much one major flaw that needs fixing as perhaps a list of smaller problems where tweaks, and maybe some patience, are required. For Jay there’s a question mark about whether the sides Slot is putting out have enough leaders, and identifies at least one spot in the side where that might make a difference.
Listen in as the duo discuss their thoughts on what’s changed between this season and last, the defeats coming after a run of wins that some are describing as lucky. For Jim one major flaw isn’t so much about conceding goals, it’s more about being unable to create enough quality chances for what is on paper a mouthwatering array of attacking options.
Attention turns to the weekend’s Chelsea clash, a chance to stop this blip turning into something more before yet another international break. A win would restore so much confidence in the camp, and Jim and Jay both urge a return to basics this weekend before using that international break to dig deep and study the details of Liverpool’s recent difficulties. If anyone at the club tunes in they’ll hear views on everything from selection dilemmas at right-back to the challenge of getting the best out of Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo, not to mention the new boys. It’s a search for answers along with honest reflections on the midfield shuffle and how small tweaks, not wholesale changes, could help Liverpool get back to winning ways.
As bad as it might seem right now to be at the top of the Premier League table, and still on course to finish in the all important top 24 of the Champions League mad League phase, as has been pointed out on the show many a time, there’s always a way to help cheer up. Because there’s always Everton.
