Jeff from Southern Cal (@jeff_hallett) hosts our freezing weather contributors, Bryan (@bryan_painter) in -10 NYC and James (@whitejamesc) in +10 Chicago. We react to what it means to be on the ultra nice list as supporters, Virgil Van Dijk’s formal announcement by the club. We ponder the immediate impact on the pitch, and FSG / Gordon / Klopp’s perception among supporters, including other targets still on the board for January. We finish with a quick look at what’s to come tomorrow vs. Leicester and 1/1 at Burnley.

Jeff (@jeff_hallett) brings the Godfather back (@bryan_painter) to sort thru the wreckage between our 2nd leg @ the Bernebéu (0-1, 6-2) and the egg we laid at Bournemouth (0-1). Though to end on a high, we threw in ideas to refocus your LFC attention during international break, so there's that.

Instant Analysis - Starting Intl Break on a Low @Madrid @Bournemouth

Following Bryan & Tyler's not-so-subtle kick, Jeff (@jeff_hallett) brings the lads back, both Nick (@See_Tyler) and Jimmy (@jtorrejonr) to digest this record setting performance, Liverpool's total destruction of United 7-0 at Anfield. What a day to complete our return to podcasting.  

Instant Analysis - United's Worst Loss in PL Era 7-0

Bryan (@Bryan_Painter) and Tyler (@I_Still_Don't_Twitter) reunite like they're running to each other in the Sound of Music (old guy reference), at some NYC pub that definitely isn't the Irish American. They micro-analyze this latest helping of sad, Liverpool drawing Palace at Selhurst in the most meh sort of ways. But the boys are back, so it's almost certain to turn frowns upside down! Stay tuned ... after 3 1/2 years, we're cooking up some new pods for you.  We've def missed you all, YNWA 
 


Instant (Micro) Analysis - Palace of Meh 0-0

Bryan (@Bryan_Painter) and new teammate Reid Setzer (@ReidSetzer) at Irish American NYC once again, on the sauce thinking through why 2-nil at half, game almost binned off by 60 minutes becomes full panic by full time. Still,11 points clear *clink*!

Jeff (@jeff_hallett) and John (@NotoriousJOS) welcome a special guest, Kevin DeVries of EPL Roundtable, who is also a noted Spurs pundit. We know Kevin from his 2x yearly EPL transfer specials with Dave Hendrick - check it out, it's always great. In this, Kevin helps us think through the impact of Jose Mourinho on Tottenham, from Jose as a manager & success he's had, to impact on the club in January (Eriksen) + beyond.
