The Late Challenge – Liverpool FC Podcast

The Late Challenge
  • 5.0 (35)
  • Sports

The Late Challenge is a Liverpool FC podcast and video show with Gareth Roberts and Mo Stewart, getting stuck into everything happening around The Reds — on the pitch, off it and everywhere in between. Robbo is a Kop season-ticket holder, while Mo covers Liverpool from the press box at Anfield. Together they dissect the football, debate the big talking points and give an independent take on the issues surrounding the club. Paul Cope and Stu Wright also regularly join the conversation, while special guests from football, sport and beyond drop in from time to time. Beyond the regular Liverpool shows, TLC occasionally branches out into wider football, sport, current affairs and life as a middle-aged football fan. Expect strong opinions, plenty of debate and a willingness to challenge the prevailing view — but Liverpool FC will always come first.

    Barcola To Liverpool, Isak Myths & Forest Preview | Midweek Sports Special #1

    Welcome to the first Midweek Sports Special in the studio from The Late Challenge. Gareth Roberts and Stu Wright get stuck into the latest Liverpool FC talking points, including Bradley Barcola, what the numbers tell us about the French winger and what his arrival could mean for the rest of the squad. We also look at some of the increasingly wild verdicts on Alexander Isak. Is he really injury prone? Can he actually “string games together”? And is anyone remotely justified in writing him off after such a small sample in a Liverpool shirt? There’s more transfer chat too, including Gakpo, Elliott, Minteh, Sarr and Alex Scott, before attention turns to Iraola’s first Prem match at Anfield. What should Liverpool change after Newcastle? How dangerous could Oliver Glasner’s Forest be? And where is the hope-ometer heading as the new season gets properly underway?

    Liverpool’s New Season: Great Expectations? | Episode 185

    The friendlies are done and Liverpool’s season starts for real at Newcastle on Sunday. Are The Reds ready? Is Jeremy Jacquet already undroppable? Does the squad still look too light? And what should we realistically expect from Andoni Iraola in his first season at Anfield? We also get into Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, the remaining transfer business — and, on our Patreon/YouTube members show – the huge questions raised by the arrival of Amit Bhatia, Jeff Bezos and the new investors at Liverpool.
