A team in transition - looking for the bright spots S4 E13

1 hour

Welcome to the latest edition of First State Kopites – a podcast for Liverpool supporters in Delaware and friends of those Liverpool supporters.

It’s episode 13 of our 4th season. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz and Sean. It’s October 10, we are supposed to be in crisis. Barney Ronay claims it’s time for a Viking Funeral with Jordan Henderson part of the boat to be sent out to sea.

Confidence or tactics or what?

Got to start with the Arsenal game - Paul claims it was refreshing to watch it back - 3 reasons:

When did Michael Oliver decide to become Martin Atkinson:

1st Goal - no VAR?

8m - Martinelli trips himself, Diaz yellow card

14m TAA fouled - nothing doing

14m - handball not given - Gabriel with some fake suggestion it hit his chest

Saka gets 3 fouls - Kanesian - 20, 25 and 56, handball nio card?

35 - Offside called on Jota, ball passed him by -

Partey assaults Diaz twice - knee injury no foul

Time wasting - only Joe Gomez is carded

We had so many moments:

What’s working? Diaz looks dangerous, Jota, TAA forced Martinelli back more than might be apparent

But the defensive line (see first goal)

Wrong personnel at 70?

Getting the ball forward - could have been better at getting it to Nunez

Arsenal in the image of their manager:

Martinelli

Saka

Jesus

Was Xhaka playing?

Odegaard was limited - opinions?

Rangers away and City coming up:

What to expect?

High hopes/worst case?

We’ll try to be back next week after Liverpool have played City. Thanks to Sean and Daz.
