Trev Downey hosts another Champions League edition of RAW on a night which saw Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi stretched to the limits of their analytical ability as the three lads discussed a fairly uneventful evening at a sold-out Anfield. The upshot, however is that the Reds progressed to the quarter finals of Europe’s premier competition without injury or concession. There is some animated chat about Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson, a chat about some of the unusual highlights of the night and a general sense of quiet contentment about The Reds’ business-like execution of the night’s task.

Gags Tandon welcomes back the Dan Kennett, Simon Brundish and Daniel Rhodes onto another edition of AI Under Pressure Podcast.  They discuss the on-ball stats highlights including lots of xG analysis.

If that wasn't enough Darth, Dan and Gags then speak about the off-ball statistics which were also very impressive in this game. All this and more in this edition of the Under Pressure Podcast.

In this opening part of another double episode of The Interview, David Fairclough tells Trevor Downey about his upbringing in 60s Liverpool and the path that led him to represent his boyhood idols at just 19, on his way to the first of many trophies. David talks about those early days as he went from an apprentice, afraid to go into the first team dressing room for fear of unmerciful teasing, to his development into being a teammate of Emlyn Hughes, Tommy Smith and Kevin Keegan who was carving a very singular reputation as a man who could be relied on to score important goals.

RAW is back with Trev Downey, Hari Sethi and Dave Hendrick, as Liverpool ease back into second place and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain is man-of-the-match in a delightfully business-like 2-0 home win against Rafa Benitez and his Toon Army.
