Not enough intensity says Jurgen S4 E6

48 minutes

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 6 of our 4th season. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz and Sean. The season has started, and for the first time in the Klopp ear, Liverpool did not start with a win

Part One - Fulham - apparently not an easy win

First half - ooof. This performance came from nowhere didn’t it?

Second half - so much better wasn’t it?

Elliott, Nunez, Milner, Carvalho

Fab, Thiago

New team syndrome? Missing Mane? Not played well at Craven Cottage under Klopp

Part Two - elsewhere:

Where will the threat come from? Spurs, Arsenal, City

Relegation - Bournemouth, Leeds, Fulham?

Refereeing again - e.g. ‘It’s so difficult to put a finger on why Manchester’s Paul Tierney has made so many generous decisions to Manchester United’. Mitrovic and Chilwell. This ‘crumpling’ is just awful - Maguire, Ben White, Chillwell. Does Mitrovic have English ancestry?

Part Three - belatedly, predictions:

Top 4

Relegated teams

First manager to leave

Player of the season

We’ll be back next week after Liverpool have played their second game. Thanks to Sean, Haitham and Daz. If you enjoyed the podcast, share it with a friend.
