On this week’s Molby On The Spot, Trev Downey is reassured by the calming tones of Jan Molby as he places the disappointing loss in Belgrade into some perspective. The lads take apart the performance and focus on a few individuals, with Joel Matip and Adam Lallana getting a particular mention but the draw with Arsenal is also assessed in a more positive light than many Reds fans had been inclined to do. There’s some discussion around what’s left to do in the Champions League and, of course, a good chat about Sunday’s game against Fulham.
On A-Eye Scouted this week, Dave is joined once again by Karl Matchett as they look ahead to the return of Premier League action for Liverpool as they're at home against Fulham! They talk about what Liverpool need to improve upon from the previous game against Red Star, and also discuss Fulham's strengths and weaknesses. Karl and Dave also go through what you should be watching this midweek in terms of the best games. All this and more on A-Eye Scouted!
The Euro Incision Podcast is back and Nina is joined by Jonathan Harding as the duo discuss Liverpool's poor loss to Red Star Belgrade and take an in-depth look at Klopp’s man management of new signings and how he underestimated Red Star and their atmosphere. They also try to compare his selections to how he worked at Dortmund. The pair also talk Liverpool's chances of qualifying after the loss and look at the German teams in the CL. All this and more on the Euro Incision Podcast.
Hamzah Khalique-Loonat hosts this week’s edition of the Tactics Weekly podcast, in which he is joined by Paul Dalglish and Gavin Jones who discuss the league draw against Arsenal, and whether Klopp was right to revert to his 4-3-3 system, and the surprising, but dismal affair against Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League.
Is the 4-3-3 still the answer for Liverpool looking forward?
Why did Klopp decide to reorganise his team against Arsenal at half-time?
Was it Red Star’s quality, or Liverpool’s lack thereof which decided the Champions League fixture?
Are Liverpool missing a progressive player?
“Player profiles” and its impact upon Liverpool tactically
On the latest RAW, Trev Downey has the unenviable task of leading Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi through the details of The Reds’ depressing capitulation to Red Star Belgrade at their home ground, replete with its tunnels, noise and intimidatory crowd. Jürgen Klopp comes in for particular criticism after his charges were singularly inept in the Champions League AGAIN and several players are scrutinised, including James Milner, Sadio Mané and Adam Lallana. A tough listen, but one of the best episodes ever.
The A-Team is back this week as Gags Tandon is joined by Dan Kennett, Dan Rhodes and a poorly Simon Brundish to discuss Liverpool's 1-1 draw at The Emirates with Arsenal. The lads discuss:
- xG analysis - differences in models
- Tactical issues in the first half - Gini
- Changes in the 2nd half to stop Arsenal
- On ball highlights
- Off-ball analysis - poor performance
All this and more on the AI Under Pressure Podcast.

- Fabs underwhelming
- Midfield woes
All this and more on the Rate, Don't Hate podcast on AI:PRO, feedback and suggestions to improve appreciated!
After Jürgen Klopp’s Reds drew 1-1 with Arsenal at the Emirates, Trev Downey was joined by Hari Sethi and Karl Matchett on RAW. The irritation was real as the lads manfully struggled to highlight the positives as well as the obvious negative of conceding 2 points to Manchester City with 81minutes already in the bag. Virgil Van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Andy Robertson come in for particular praise and, on the flip side, Trent Alexander Arnold and Fabinho’s mixed bag performances are also scrutinised. There are also some questions about whether or not the manager’s game-plan was the most effective.
Eddie Gibbs and Gags Tandon mull over the key points from Jurgen Klopp's press conference at Melwood ahead of Liverpool's Premier League match at Arsenal.
