Media Matters: Questions to Answer – David Lynch on Transfers, Strategy and Who Carries the Can

Dave Davis and David Lynch turn their attention away from the pitch and towards Liverpool’s decision-makers. From the stalled January transfer window to uncertainty around key squad players, this episode asks who is truly accountable for the club’s current drift. Lynch examines the logic, or lack of it, behind potential exits, contract noise, and a strategy that appears increasingly reactive. The conversation also tackles the silence from above, questioning why sporting leadership remains unseen while pressure lands squarely on the head coach. As Liverpool face a defining stretch of fixtures, this is a forensic look at a club seemingly short on answers when clarity is most needed. Learn more about your ad choices.

Media Matters: Sacking Slot? David Lynch on Results, Relegation Form and a Season Unravelling

With Liverpool now drifting outside the Champions League places, Dave Davis and David Lynch confront the question many supporters are now asking out loud. Is Arne Slot under real threat? This episode cuts through emotion and focuses on evidence, laying bare Liverpool’s alarming run of form across nearly half a Premier League season. Lynch outlines why five wins in eighteen league games cannot be dismissed, why underlying metrics offer no comfort, and why comparisons with rival squads only deepen the concern. As the table tightens and pressure grows, this is a sober, data-led assessment of how precarious Liverpool’s position has become, and how quickly it could worsen. Learn more about your ad choices.

Media Matters: Abysmal Again - David Lynch on Bournemouth, Broken Patterns and Liverpool’s Slide

Dave Davis is joined by David Lynch to dissect another deeply worrying Liverpool performance, this time away at Bournemouth. With dominant possession but almost no attacking clarity, Liverpool once again fall short where it matters most. The discussion focuses on a familiar pattern: sterile control, defensive fragility, and a complete lack of structure in the final third. Lynch breaks down the underlying numbers, from chance quality to XG disparity, and explains why the result was not unfortunate, but fully deserved. As Liverpool sink further into poor form, questions begin to mount about tactical direction, player confidence, and whether this side is regressing in plain sight. Learn more about your ad choices.
