RAW
Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Eddie Gibbs gathered in the immediate aftermath of Liverpool’s stunning 3-0 Anfield victory over runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. On a night when the atmosphere matched the dazzling play of the first half and the dogged resilience of the second, The Euro Reds laid down an impressive marker ahead of Tuesday night’s second leg in the Etihad. Allez, Allez, Allez indeed!
On this episode of RAW, Trev Downey is joined by Hari Sethi and, stepping in for Dave Hendrick, Jan Gorski-Mescir, as all three reflect on the 2-1 win against Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace. There are many moments of high drama to reflect upon, there is the usual assessment of the team and the individuals involved on the day and there’s even a mention of some small hands to rival Donal Trump’s. As ever, your ideal post-match accompaniment.
Tonight’s celebratory St. Patrick’s Day RAW has two extra-happy Irishmen basking in Grand Slam rugby glory and a Reds performance that left them purring. Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi had the very pleasant job of picking apart the 5-0 Anfield win against Watford that sent Liverpool into the international break in great form, thanks in major part to the goalscoring exploits of Mo Salah, whose forth strike on the night was his 33rd in only 41 games. As ever. the lads analyse the individual performances, key moments and goals, as Trev waited patiently for his first pint of Ireland’s national holiday.
An extended RAW needed today, in order for Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi to fully articulate their frustrations and disillusionment in the wake of Liverpool’s narrow defeat at Old Trafford to Jose Mourinho’s cynical opportunists. On the balance, the lads concluded that The Reds’ were probably the authors of their own downfall, with a less-than-incisive display in attack, some defensive howlers from a familiar source and a lack of inspiration from the sideline.
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.
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. The lads analyse the individual performances and key incidents, as ever, but there is also much talk about the ways in which Jürgen Klopp’s Reds are evolving into a superior unit who might yet achieve something remarkable in this campaign.
On tonight’s Post Match RAW, Trev Downey hosts another celebratory RAW from a remote location but is joined, as ever, by Hari Sethi and Dave Hendrick to pick the bones out of the latest outing for Jürgen Klopp’s men. Saturday’s Anfield display saw David Moyes’ charges ‘Hammered’ as the Reds went to town with an all-out attacking display and a comparatively composed defensive showing. Goals for the front three and Emre Can gave Liverpool a comfortable 4-1 win and eased them into second place in the table. The lads do an extra-long episode which reflects their enthusiasm about the standard of football they witnessed. Give it a listen!
On tonight’s Post Match RAW, Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi have a ball talking about the Reds’ demolition of Porto in the Estadio de Dragao, as Liverpool put five past Sergio Conceicao's men in the first leg of this round-of-16 Champions League tie. It was an imperious display by Jürgen Klopp’s charges, with Sadio Mané grabbing the match ball having played his way back into form, Bobby Firming putting away yet another clinical finish and Magic Mo Salah juggling through the opposition ranks before notching his 346th goal of the campaign.
On tonight’s Post Match RAW, Host Trev Downey is joined by Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi for RAW, as the trio reflect on Southampton 0 Liverpool 2. This was a thoroughly business-like and efficient three points earned by Jürgen Klopp’s men, from the clean sheet kept by Loris Karius to the pair of delightful strikes by the team’s goal machines, Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino. The lads look at the individual performances, analyse the game-plan and assess the opposition, on an evening which sees The Reds climb to 3rd, only two points off 2nd.
On tonight’s Post Match RAW, Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi struggle manfully to attempt a calm analysis of Liverpool 2 Tottenham 2, a game in which deflation was followed by ecstasy before the familiar late disappointment returned to enshroud Reds fans as the final whistle blew. It was a match which had penalty drama, wonder goals and an interesting tactical face-off but at the end, Liverpool will surely rue not being able to see out the remaining moments of injury time and clinching the points.
