The Reds miserable run continued as Kryptonite Palace once again did their thing. A much weakened Liverpool line up never stood a chance against the FA Cup holders and the mix of bench players and kids were predictably and ruthlessly exposed by Oliver Glasner's side. We let Arne Slot select our line up for this pod so everyone has the night off and some random kids have been thrown in at the deep end. Not really, we wouldn't do that to our listeners. Chris Smith and Dave Usher break down this one.

Another weekend another defeat. Four in a row now as the Reds are in complete freefall. A poor performance saw Arne Slot's side twice trail Brentford by two goals and although Mo Salah struck late on, it proved to be no more than a consolation goal on the latest miserable trip to London. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Ian Brown and Stu Montagu to talk through a number of big topics from tactics to mentality to Andy Robertson's comments about the lack of fight being shown.

Florian Wirtz dazzled on his return to the starting line up and Hugo Ekitike netted against his former club as the Reds came from a goal down to steamroller Eintracht 5-1 to end a four game losing streak. Chris Smith is joined by John Brennan and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on an impressive night's work from Arne Slot's men. 

A fourth defeat on the spin as once again the Reds got back into a game they were losing only to then throw it away at the death, this time allowing Harry fucking Maguire to win it for United. The dust has settled and we recorded this over 24 hours after the game, in truth because none of us wanted to relive it on Sunday night. TLW Editor Dave Usher hosts this one and is joined by John Gallagher and Julian Richards.

Another last gasp winner conceded to round off a miserable seven days in which the Reds have been beaten three times. Cody Gakpo's equaliser looked like it would be the platform for yet another late comeback, but just like last week at Palace it was Arne Slot's men on the receiving end of the late drama. TLW Editor Dave Usher was joined by Ian Brown and Paul Natton shortly after the final whistle to pick through the bones of this one and try to figure out just what the hell is going on with these passive performances and constant swapping and changing of players into unfamiliar positions.

A miserable performance in Turkey saw the Reds slip to a second consecutive defeat as a ridiculous penalty awarded by an overly fussy referee proved to be the difference on a night when neither side produced anything of note. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Stu Montagu to pick through the bones of a hugely disappointing display against what was clearly a very poor opponent.

Liverpool suffered their first defeat of the season at Crystal Palace, as the Eagles struck in the 9yth minute to give the reds a taste of our own medicine. It had required a brilliant performance from Alisson to keep Arne Slot’s off-the-pace side just one down at the break, but a much improved second period saw Federico Chiesa bring the Reds level. A sloppy end to the game meant Liverpool surrendered a share of the points.   Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss what went wrong and whether the Champions and league leaders have cause for concern.

Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike were both on target as the Reds booked their place in the next round of the competition despite a below par showing against the Saints. Chris Smith is joined by Stu Montagu and TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss a game with a surprising amount of talking points. A top performance from Federico Chiesa, an assured debut from Giovanni Leoni that was sadly marred by what looks like a serious injury, a first Liverpool goal for Isak and arguably the stupidest sending off in club history. We cover all of this as well as the farce that is the Ballon d'Or, plus we look ahead to the weekend's trip to Selhurst Park.

Five wins from five in the league and we didn't even need a late winner this time. Goals from Gravenberch and Ekitike capped a brilliant first half for the Reds and although the second half failed to live up to those standards, it's another win to keep the 100% start to the season going. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Paul Natton to reflect on a mixed afternoon at Anfield but ultimately a satisfying one.

They've only gone and done it again! Three times this season the Reds have blown a two goal lead only to then win the game in stoppage time. This one didn't ever feel in any doubt, we all knew what was coming and the skipper delivered it. Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on another dramatic night at Anfield in which Alexander Isak made an exciting debut, Florian Wirtz produced his best performance of the season and Arne Slot's side made it five wins from five thanks to another late, late show.

The Reds left it late yet again as a Mo Salah penalty deep into stoppage time finally broke Burnley's resistance and maintained the Champions 100% start to the new season. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Ian Brown to reflect on a tough old slog at Turf Moor that ultimately ended with the right result. The lads also look ahead to the Atletico Madrid game in midweek and discuss how Alexander Isak might be integrated into the side.

Deadline Day was full of drama and for once the Reds were involved in it. You win some, you lose some, and Arne Slot ended the summer with some incredible signings, while lamenting the one that got away at the last minute. Chris Smith is joined by TLW editor Dave Usher and the Daily Telegraph’s Chris Bascombe to look back on Liverpool’s summer transfer window. The lads discuss the big arrivals, the departures, the deal that didn’t happen and what it all means for the coming months until it starts all over again in January.

It was a war of attrition with very few chances at either, but Dom Szoboszlai’s stunning late free-kick secured the points to send the Reds to the top of the table going into the first international break. Chris Smith is joined by Paul Natton and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on a highly satisfying win that lays down an early marker in the title race.

It wasn't pretty, it wasn't impressive, but it was hilarious. Newcastle had been whipping themselves into a frenzy about this game for weeks, and ultimately that proved their undoing as the emotion got the better of them and they were sunk by a 16 year old 10 minutes into stoppage time. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Dan Thomas to take a look back at the good (Rio), the bad (Konate) and the ugly (Joelinton) from a wild night at St James' Park.

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.
