It’s April 19th and it’s episode 26 of our 4th season. welcome dear listener. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz. We are here to talk about our last three games including us playing like peak 2021-22 Liverpool for at least 100 minutes. And in part 3 we will look ahead to the Forest and West Ham games. Thanks for joining us.
Want to get started by acknowledging last Saturday was the thirty fourth anniversary of Hillsborough:
First State Kopites Special with Richie and Damian. Hillsborough and the uniqueness of Liverpool - 97 football fans traveled to a football match and did not return - let’s not forget that the verdict of the last judicial review was that they were unlawfully killed.
Part One - demolishing Leeds 6-1 after no wins in 5 (random stat on TV)
Trent - 40% of the episode has to be devoted to him
Seems like a front foot Trent is always going to be better for us - but much depends on how we set up, games state etc.
Feels like Leeds were a good opponent, sadly because they don’t try to cheat the clock like other teams we will go on to speak about. And Meslier….
6 attackers available for the first time this season
Part Two - Arsenal and Chelsea
Arsenal - for 50 minutes we look like peak Liverpool 2021-22. 4xG or close to 4xG depending on the model you used, Crowd, team figuring out the changes.
Penalties - do you know what counts for a penalty any more? Salah goes down easily AAAAAHHHHHH. Tierney did not hold onto Salah for long enough said the blustering Craig Burley - confirmation bias meets mental gymnastics again. Brighton get an apology, why not us?
We seemed to have decided that the officials are against us given the much stronger reaction to the officials in recent weeks. Tierney to be fair has form.
Arsenal - probably not going to win the league now. Their time wasting and flopping drove me to distraction. We had them on the ropes of course.
Oh and a brief word on Chelsea - why didn’t we get to face Frank Lampard? Are they just disrupting themselves?
Part Three - looking ahead:
Forest at home - they haven’t looked great away from home and now they look like they lack belief at home.
West Ham away - probably one of the harder games
Transfer speculation - Bellingham news - do we have the energy?
Season review starts now… Liverpool have scored 56 times from 54.7 expected goals in the league this season.
We will be back sometime next week after Liverpool have played Forest and West Ham. Thanks to Daz.
