Another brace of wins for Jim Boardman and Jay Reid to talk about in this week’s episode, as the Reds players get ready for their very short winter break.

With the league briefly put to one side, focus for Liverpool shifted to the domestic cups and Klopp sent out strong sides for both games, the FA Cup 3rd round against Arsenal and the first-leg semi of what some of us still call the Milk Cup against Fulham.

The season started with fairly low expectations, getting back into the Champions League probably as ambitious as many of us felt was realistic. Yet here we are, top of the league and still in all three cups - but we’d be mad to get carried away with that, there’s still a long way to go.

That’s kind of how we think on our side of Stanley Park, one game at a time, feet on the ground, fearful of a telling off from the late Ronnie Moran if we dare to think more than one game ahead. Yet across the park they took a break from a run of three league defeats by getting a draw in the cup and now seem to think their name’s on the trophy. To be fair to them, it is, right next to ‘1995’.

On this week’s episode:

- Arsenal in the cup, a 2-0 win

- Fulham in the other cup, a 2-1 win

- The kids done good

- Curtis Jones first choice midfielder?

- Connor Bradley - still needs care, but genuine cover for Trent?

- The Darwin Nunez narrative continues

- Luis Diaz on the right, Darwin on the left, the future?

- What was that about only watering half a pitch?

- LFC not letting clubs mess about with loaned Reds

- Bristol Rovers or Norwich next in the cup

- The instant memories of Norwich games - good or bad?

- The impact of the new training centre - an investment we need to give more credit for?

- No coincidence so many young players are starting to break through?

- Liverpool landmark to lose its identity?

- Radio City got so many Reds through so many European nights and so much more

- Faceless corporations want it gone, replaced by something without any of the character or history

- Local radio still has a place - but how long can it keep the vultures away?

- Fan media like Anfield Index all the more vital?
