Two Red Gringos, a LFC Podcast

Phil and Pat do a bunch this episode but mainly the discussion centers around:

-The decision to freak out or not over the Red Star Result

-Is the issue in midfield and attack?

-Danny Sturridge getting hooked?

-Changes needed for Fulham

-Beto's near miss vs Cruz

-Hope for the future

Pat and Phil are joined by Dan Staley (aka Darby Daniel, aka King Darbo) and this episode is all Chicago, Cardiff review (ft. the Hobgoblin), Arsenal Preview, Social Media Heroes and Villains, and so much in between.

The Brendan Rodgers Era at Anfield coincided with the rise of LFC's podcasting and blogging community and it honestly couldn't have come at a worse time for the man. His rise from Swansea to Liverpool was sharp, his rise from midtable to title contender even sharper, and his fall from grace was sharpest of all. Truly a roller coaster of a tenure, if the roller coaster ends like mine did when playing Roller Coaster Tycoon...poorly. Reminisce with us about the transfers, the moments, the songs sung and the tears cried.

The Gringos start with a bit of a roundup of the recent international break and some of the potential injury issues facing the squad.

Then it's back to October 2010, with the sale of LFC to FSG from Hicks and Gillett, with Hodgson at the helm and we walk through the ups, downs, the goals (both scored and conceded), the trophies won and lost and every crazy incident in between. The nostalgic masochist in your family will love this one so come with us, won't you?

Phil and the newly engaged Pat talk beer distribution on par with Alisson, Big Joe Gomez, a respected front 3 without much help, a tactical issue in midfield and our normal social media heroes and villains. All that and more in this episode of the Two Red Gringos

Pat and Phil enjoy a few brews and do an in-depth dive into the win against PSG, the upcoming fixtures against Southampton and Chelsea, and the social media heroes and villains of the week.

Beer conversations abound at the beginning as Pat and Phil take on the haters of both Modelo Negra and IPAs in one fell swoop. Then it's on to the Palace match where the controversy is squashed, Alisson, Virg and Big Joe Gomez all get special praise, Naby Keita's turn is drooled over and the Front 3 is analyzed. Sadio Mane gets his moment in the sun as well. Finally, we analyze the Heroes and Villains of Social Media this week, with some surprising entries.

Special Shouts to Alex Mansfield, Michael Caley, Simon Brundish, Puck Sherburn and Geoff DeBisschop for their contributions on twitter.

The Gringos are joined by Alan Esparza and Brian Lazo, who help break down the definitive rankings of prominent Mexican beers with funny stories and plenty of nonsense along the way. The episode begins with everyone Picking Their Poison for the show, with representation from Modelo, Dos Equis, Estrella Jalisco and yes, even Sol.

Then the list is broken down, which I won't spoil for you, I want you to react the same way we did.

Finally, there's brief LFC talk at the end of the sode, bookended by classic Mexican tunes. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Phil and Pat talk heavy beers, keepers, strikers, midfield depth, and a little about El Paso's new USL team

Pat and Phil are joined by Dan Staley to get immediate reaction to a night that Liverpool fans will not soon forget. The topics are all over the place but the thesis is clear, Liverpool deserve this final and we all back Klopp to get the job done in Kiev. ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ
