Was Brighton the nadir? S4 E19

1 hour 14 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 January 18th, and it’s episode 19 of our 4th season. welcome dear listener. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz and Justin. It’s January 18th - Reds suffered a desperately disappointing loss at Brighton last weekend , but last night recorded a nice win in the FA Cup 3rd round replay at Wolves to progress and as a reward, go back to the Amex one more time..

Part 1 - Let’s start with Brighton:

Anything good? What was going on?

Midfield, formation, legs, mindset

Mindset - bloody hell, 3 of 4 seasons getting 90 points, 3 UCL finals - hard to ‘go again’. And those lucky B******* at Arsenal are having it easy.

Part 2 - Victory over Wolves:

3 teenagers, absence of height, absence of pace

Bichatitch?

Pass to Keita yelled someone in our pub!

Daz - goalie?

Konate, Thiago and Gakpo remained

Keita, Milner, Gomez - all have been criticized by people on this pod

Energy level was higher

A decent refereeing performance - Andre Marriner?

Part 3 - Looking ahead to the weekend:

Chelsea did win last weekend

What formation and team would you go with?

$400m+ on players - Kieran Maguire says it isn't as bad as it looks from an accounting perspective

And any other business:

Miguel Delaney - Pep, Darwin

Qatari rumors - James Pearce… partial investment

Kaide Gordon

We should be back sometime next week after Liverpool have played Chelsea. Thanks to Justin and Daz.
