Arne Slot Na Na, Na Na Nah

Welcome dear listener to the first episode of the 6th season of the pod. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz and Sean. We are here in the last weeks before the 2024-25 season gets started. It’s been almost 2 months and I think we are happy to have some real content to look at.

The US tour has gone very well by most metrics and in 10 days the new season will get underway.

Part One - 2024 Pre-Season

  • US tour - overall, yes it was a rip off, but we got to enjoy big Liverpool crowds and a chance to meet good friends.

    • Pittsburgh and Betis

    • Philly and Arsenal - the experience and the game

    • SC and United

    • Highs and lows? Overall thoughts? Players who have made a solid case to keep the jersey?

      • Quansah is the Matip replacement?

      • Tsimikas

      • Carvalho

      • Arne Slott and his system:

        • What do we think of Arne so far?

        • Who fits into this system and who doesn’t?

          • Part Two - the upcoming season

          • Many questions remain:

            • How long before the team gels? 

            • Are we relaxed about the fact that a lot of guys haven’t participated in team play and there are 11 days til the season kicks off?

            • 3 players with 11 months to run on their contracts

            • What is our best team?

            • Role for TAA - Athletic comments section, .. ‘Apart from passing what else does Trent have to offer?’

            • Aspirations for the season for the Reds

            • Aspirations for the next 2 games

            • Highest hopes and lowest lows elsewhere?

              • Part Three - Elsewhere:

              • Of the EPL winners of the last 11 seasons only 1 - us - is not under investigation for breaking spending rules 

              • Chelsea, Cheats and the latest from the Theater of Dreams

                • $100m for Alvarez - WTF?

                • Chelsea squad is roughly the same size as a Taylor Swift concert audience

                  • We will be back soon, maybe with more on transfers and an Ipswich game preview, definitely with a reaction to the first of 38 games that we’ll play. Thank you dear listener for joining us.
