    Derby defeat dashes title hopes - but is Slot waiting in the wings?

    Derby defeat dashes title hopes - but is Slot waiting in the wings?

    We're back with a bonus Walk On offering, as Liverpool ramp up their search to name a successor to Jurgen Klopp, with the Reds in negotiations to bring Feyenoord's Arne Slot to Anfield.
    Before looking at what the Dutchman could bring to Liverpool, should a compensation package be agreed, Tony Evans, James Pearce and Simon Hughes pick the bones out of the Reds' first Goodison Park derby defeat since 2010, which all-but ends Liverpool's title hopes.
    We hear from AD's Sjoerd Mossou out in the Netherlands on what Liverpool can expect from Slot before Andy Jones also pops by to talk about his style of play and how it may fit with the current squad at Anfield.

Poorly researched

This podcast is doing LFC fans a disservice. It’s poorly researched and offers zero insight whatsoever. The host is acting like he is talking about football from the 1970’s. The game has evolved but the dinosaur host has not. Simon Hughes seems to have a bee in his bonet about all things Klopp and LFC. James Pearce used to be the oracle on LFC insider info, but he has been left behind now by the new kids on the block. Its no longer worth listening to this podcast now. If you do, you might as well switch on the vacuum cleaner at the same time. That’s a better use of your time.
