Peter Beardsley returns for another Legends Lowdown Podcast with Eddie Gibbs once more posing the questions to the former Liverpool forward.
Peter shares his thoughts on Salah's latest strikes and his thoughts on the Reds easing to victory over Southampton. There's also a look at the South American impact on the game in Europe and a chat about Liverpool's prospects ahead of the Seville and Chelsea matches.
With the new Kenny movie now available, Peter shares some fascinating memories about the man we call King and his delight at seeing how the Dalglish family have thrived in their various pursuits.
In Part 2 of The Interview with Mark Lawrenson, Trev Downey gets some wonderful insight from Mark about his time at Liverpool. It was a period of obscene success for the club as the legendary defender won the league in each of his first three campaigns and was a part of the side that lifted the European Cup in Rome. But Mark’s time as a Redman was blighted by the tragedy of Heysel and he shares his own memories of that hellish occasion as well as the personal tragedy of an injury which cut short his glittering career at the age of just 30, with the Reds on the verge of building another all-conquering side. This is a refreshingly candid and open conversation with one of the greatest footballers of his generation, whose humility belies his legendary status and continuing high profile as a television pundit.
Hari Sethi and Mark M join Jon Buscall to discuss just how good Mo Salah really is. The lads also take time to celebrate the outstanding, intelligent play from the Liverpool front four today. Plus: Loveren, Trent, the woes of Daniel Sturridge and did VVD do enough today to warrant an Anfield move.
Edie Gibbs is once more joined by Simon Brundish to discuss the Reds prospects as they return to action against Southampton at Anfield tomorrow.
The consensus seems to be that Klopp’s men are long overdue a change of fortunes over a Southampton side that have had the better of things in recent games.
On this week’s Media Matters podcast, Nina Kauser and Sachin Nakrani are joined by Paul Machin, creator and co-host of Redmen TV, to discuss the rise and strength of Liverpool fan-content and the ongoing success of Redmen TV in particular. Paul explains how the channel got off the ground, how it has developed and what is next for the award-winning multi-platform operation. Nina, Sachin and Paul also discuss the difference between Scouse and southern supporters, negativity on Twitter and the positivity of Jurgen Klopp.
On this very special AI Pro + Podcast Jan Molby and Peter Beardsley answer questions from AI Pro subscribers.
The following questions were answered:
From Kev Hegarty in the USA – Who were the best defenders you ever played against? Or a Goal Keeper you had trouble with?
Umang Vithlani – Many say Ian Rush is the greatest striker in Liverpool history, but you both played with Rush and Aldridge. I always thought Aldo as a finisher was equal if not better. What are your thoughts on this?
Joseph Connors in the USA – What was the biggest adjustment when coming to LFC? Family? Fit in team? Manager? I think the hardest thing to do is come into a new team and make an impact right away.
Kam Brainch – What was the craziest thing you ever saw at Liverpool FC?
Manish Mistry: Did any pranks get pulled during their time at Liverpool FC and if so what were the best ones?
Ash Hebs – Peter you played in some of the great attacking Liverpool teams. How do you feel Klopp could improve our approach against teams employing the low block?
Jan, do you see any way in which we can convince Coutinho to stay next summer?
From Aaditya Narayan in India – Is the system that we used at West Ham sustainable over a period of time or do they see it as a one-off?
Umang Vithlani again - What takes the current Liverpool squad to being Premier League or even European Champions? Is it as simple as better defenders? You were both part of what was undoubtedly part of what was the best team in Europe at the time. How does this team, manager and set of owners get there?
Joseph Connors - What was more rewarding personally for them, their international career or club achievements?
If you could choose a club outside of the Premier League that you could have played for which club would you play for and why?
Nina Kauser - If you were a modern-day footballer would you join Liverpool right now? Is Jurgen Klopp enough of a draw?
