The Reds title defence got off to a winning start as Federico Chiesa came off the bench to score a vital late goal after Bournemouth had clawed their way back from 2-0 down to level with a brace from the excellent Semenyo. Terry McDonald joins TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on an eventful night at Anfield in which new boy Hugo Ekitike dazzled, but his fellow new boys did not fare quite so well.

The Premier League is back and so are we. We’ll be picking apart the summer business, weighing up the competition and making those bold/foolish predictions that we’ll no doubt regret by Christmas. Chris Smith is your host for this one, joined by Paul Natton and TLW Editor Dave Usher, while all the other lads have chipped in with their predictions too. Who’s optimistic, who’s already writing us off, and who’s going full ‘Liverpool to win the lot’? (Spoiler, the last one is Paul, obviously).

New boys Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz shone but the Reds were twice pegged back by Crystal Palace and ultimately lost after a dismal penalty shootout display in which Salah, Mac Allister and Elliott all failed to convert. Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and Dave Usher to discuss the game, assess the impact of the new signings so far and to look ahead to the new season.

Hugo Ekitike is a Red. The young French forward became the latest big money signing to join Arne Slot's squad this summer, turning down other clubs to sign for the Champions in a deal worth around £70m. Chris Smith is joined by Ian Brown and Dan Thomas to discuss the new boy, where he fits in and what the Alexander Isak rumours mean for Ekitike. The lads also pay tribute to Diogo Jota, our fallen number 20.

The third major signing of the summer is in the bag as 21 year old Hungarian left back Milos Kerkez completed his long mooted move from Bournemouth to Anfield for a fee of around £40m. Chris Smith and TLW Editor Dave Usher discuss the move, his impressive first interview and what it means for the team as well as for Robbo and Kostas.

We all love a big splashy signing and we sure have one in German superstar Florian Wirtz. The Reds shattered their club record for the 22 year old from Bayer Leverkusen, who links up again with his good pal and fellow new signing Jeremie Frimpong. Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to bask in the glory of Florian Friday.

Jeremie Frimpong is officially a Red after the club unveiled their first signing of what is likely to be a busy summer. On the day our outgoing right back completed his move to Real Madrid, Liverpool wasted no time in announcing his successor. Chris Smith is joined by Stu Montagu and TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss the new boy and what he will bring to the table, while the lads also discuss the events - both good and bad - of Monday's parade.

Mo Salah's goal broke yet another record and ensured the Reds avoided defeat on the day they were presented with the Premier League title. 35 years ago it was Alan Hansen lifting the trophy, but this time it was Jocky presenting the trophy to fellow iconic skipper and centre half, Virgil Van Dijk. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Dan Thomas to look back on a memorable afternoon at Anfield where - result apart - everything went as well as it could have done, even for Trent. 

There was a game tonight and we have to talk about it, but not for long! There's lots going on at the moment including new signings being in the works as well as the continuing Trent saga. TLW Editor Dave Usher and Ian Brown briefly go over the events at the Amex Stadium tonight, before getting stuck into everything else that's going on. Transfer comings and potential goings, potential tactical changes for next season as well as "the Summer of 66".

The Reds had to settle for a draw after squandering a 2-0 half time lead, but the result was almost a sideshow as all of the headlines will be about the booing of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Chris Smith, Paul Natton and TLW Editor Dave Usher were all at Anfield and experienced first hand what went down, including Reds fighting other Reds in the Kop and players gesturing at the fans to stop booing. Just a thoroughly unpleasant afternoon that was in stark contrast to the joyous scenes of two weeks ago.

After almost a full season of speculation Trent Alexander-Arnold today finally delivered the news that had been expected and feared - he is leaving Liverpool for free in the prime of his career. Chris Smith and Dave Usher have a chat about the situation, covering a wide range of issues including the process behind it, why Trent may be making a decision he lives to regret, the announcement itself and how that was handled as well as what it means for the Reds moving forward.

A much changed Liverpool side conceded early and late in a 3-1 loss at Chelsea that probably wasn't deserved but ultimately doesn't really matter as the title has already been sewn up of course. Dave Usher and Paul Natton discuss the performance, specifically how the fringe players did, and how that it is likely to impact their future with the club moving forward.

You may have heard, but the Reds won the league at the weekend! We did a pod immediately after the Spurs game and promised you a follow up pod after we've had time to take everything in. Well here it is. Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher as well as Stu Montagu and John Brennan to reflect on the events of Sunday and all of the glorious content to come out in the days that followed.

We've known it for some time but it was finally confirmed as the Reds thrashed sorry Spurs to secure the title in Arne Slot's first season in charge. The scenes at Anfield will stay with everyone for a long time as this was a celebration for the ages. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by most of the lads for this. John Gallagher, Dan Thomas and Paul Natton are there from the start, while others pop in and out or send in voice messages sharing their emotions. We've had worse days haven't we?

Just one more win needed now after Trent Alexander-Arnold came off the bench to win it for the Reds. Despite dominating the game it looked like the goal was never going to come but Trent's strike sparked joyous scenes in the away end and sets it up nicely for next weekend. Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to talk a little bit about the game and a lot about Trent and Virgil amongst other stuff.

One step closer. Once again the Reds were unconvincing but cometh the hour cometh the captain, as Virgil Van Dijk headed a late winner to send Arne Slot's men 13 points clear at the top and needing to just two more wins to guarantee the title. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and John Gallagher to look back on another game of two halves, and there's also discussion on the contract situations of Virgil and Trent.

The episode we've been waiting to do all season! Mo Salah has ended months of speculation by agreeing a new deal which will keep him at Anfield for at least the next two years. Chris Smith and TLW Editor Dave Usher drop everything for an emergency pod discussing the news Reds have been hoping for since what seems like forever.

Liverpool slipped to their first away loss of the season as Arne Slot's side shot themselves in the foot with an error strewn first half horror show that left them with too much to do after the break. The second half display was much improved and the Reds could have escaped with a point had Harvey Elliott's shot not struck the woodwork, but overall they can have no complaints. Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to dissect the game and discuss some of the wider points, such as why has Elliott not started a single league game all season, and how come the team usually doesn't start playing until the second half?

Diogo Jota's goal was enough to secure the win and send the Reds 12 points clear at the top after another controversial Merseyside derby in which James Tarkowski escaped one of the clearest red cards you'll ever see. Paul Tierney doing Paul Tierney things. With most of the other lads otherwise engaged on a Thursday morning, TLW Editor Dave Usher and Terry McDonald look back on an ultimately satisfying evening that means a 20th League Title is one step closer.

A desperately disappointing outing at Wembley meant it was Newcastle ending a long trophy drought rather than Liverpool adding another League Cup to the collection and a first piece of silverware for Arne Slot. Chris Smith is joined by Dave Usher, Stu Montagu and John Gallagher to traipse through this forgettable final. The lads also talk through the big picture issues raised by this showing, while staying ever mindful that an historic league title triumph remains in sight.
