Gags Tandon welcomes back the Dan Kennett and Simon Brundish onto another AI Under Pressure Podcast as they discuss the 2-1 FA Cup 3rd Round win against Everton with that late headed winner from record signing Virgil van Dijk.
They have limited stats as it was an FA Cup game but go through the on-ball figures that they can with xG numbers. They look at VVD's numbers in the game and then go onto some impressive off-ball stats with this being the first time that Firmino, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Emre Can started a game together - four of Liverpool's top pressers. Gags Tandon compares Liverpool's top pressers to see how well they are doing this season too.
Gags Tandon speaks to Ed Aarons, from The Guardian, on the news story he wrote earlier in the day that RB Leipzig could deal with Liverpool FC if they paid an extra £18m on top of the current agreed deal. Both speak about the possibility of Liverpool taking the option and look at it from the players and Liverpool's angle too. Ed also talks about the links to Thomas Lemar and other stories from around the Premier League.
Gags is then joined by Nina Kauser to discuss her thoughts on the Naby Keita news as well as other news stories happening in the LFC sphere today.
