Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back to discuss all things LFC from Liverpool, as the Reds move a little bit closer to a Premier League title and get ready for a tough trip across the channel for their first Champions League knockout game of the season.
The Reds are now in a very strong position to win the league, having won crucial games against Manchester City and Newcastle. They are now 13 points clear at the top of the table, having played a game more, but as Jay and Jim discuss, at least some of that can be credited to a certain side from North London failing to capitalise whenever Arne Slot’s men did have a blip.If you can call it a blip.
It’s been good to see the players are talking about a job still to be done, rather than talking like it’s a formality, but what has stood out to Jim and Jay has been the efficiency of the performances and the ability to do exactly what is needed to win games, game by game. It’s not always the same recipe.
They also talk about the upcoming Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain, the first of the two legs being an away one. For those fans who are travelling for the away leg it will bring back fresh memories of a traumatic experience off the pitch. On the pitch it might be the most difficult opponent so far in this competition, one having a very similar season to the Reds domestically, but if Liverpool approach the two legs the right way they can progress to the quarters. That said, Jay wonders if maybe the seeding system needs a rethink.
Also this week we got to hear the latest financial figures as Liverpool released the annual report. With a loss of £57 million is it something to be worried about, and with the explanations given by the club what should it mean for the current period?
There’s also some discussion of the upcoming change in kit supplier from Nike to Adidas, a return to the manufacturer that was with us through so many iconic moments.
As always, we can rely on the neighbours to give us something extra to smile about.
