Jim Boardman: 'Alisson Becker should quit Brazil'
From The Heart Of The City - Scouser Tommies Podcast with Jim Boardman and Jay Reid
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back and so is proper footy now that joyous international break is over. Liverpool have submitted their League and European squads for this half of the season, showing where the thread is bare, but maybe not quite worth the outcry over at least one position.

An Oversight in the Yashin Trophy Shortlist
The Quiet Guardian of Anfield
Last season, Liverpool's Premier League journey witnessed its fair share of turbulence. Amidst this, Alisson, the Brazilian shot-stopper, found himself in the shadows, not for the reasons that once made him the talk of the town. However, it's crucial to remember that while there were occasional missteps, they were sparse.

Newcastle 1 - 2 Liverpool - Man of the Match
Darwin Núñez - Matchwinner
It was at some point in the second half that I decided there may not be a Liverpool worthy man of the match. By this time, Alisson Becker was the team’s clear best performer, yet I did not want our keeper to receive that same acclaim in the first two out of three Premier League games.

Transfer Window Tensions
Just six days of relentless bedwetting to go before the transfer window closes. And if things go wrong at St James’ Park, mattresses will be soaked like never before.
Chelsea and Bournemouth both looked like mid-table teams. Newcastle United are a different proposition. They are equipped to exploit Liverpool’s flaws. Yet there’s no need to be defeatist.

Journalist: No.2 at Liverpool, No.1 Elsewhere?
Anfield's Steadfast Guardian
While the luminescence of Liverpool's star players often leaves us in a trance, one can't overlook the discreet brilliance of Caoimhin Kelleher. For years, he's been the silent sentinel behind Alisson Becker, proving that the wings of Anfield house not just one, but two world-class goalkeepers.
