    Dutch players make San Siro their home S6 E6

    Arne Slot’s perfect start takes a hit. We will talk about the Forest game, the victory in Milan and we will preview the Bournemouth and West Ham League Cup games. If we have time we will look at what else is happening in the footy world.  Part One - Forest home: xG still favored us but Forest game plan worked - 0.9 to 0.6 (0.0 at half time) First half wasn't terrible. Mo and Szobo are not great. Forwards lost a lot of duels Diaz on 15. Jota on 25, MacAllister 37 - what if…. Oliver has become a liability - Yates catches McAllister and Robbo in the first 5 minutes and nothing is given. Ignores another hand to the face at 20. 15 fouls for them, 6 for us. Almost 70% possession. Andrew Beesley points out that disparity has happened 10 times since these stats were collected. 6 of them for us Gravenberch - had Gibbs-White staying with him. Still managed to impact the game with recoveries. 88% pass accuracy, progressive passing. Team was 69%. Second half - not so great, formation change then 3 subs and more formation changes What was the formation change after they scored? Made us even more disjointed. I felt that, in the moment, that it could be worrisome that we didn’t have a response to a) going goal down and b) how frenetic it became after we did Forest game plan - got away with an hour of not much. We talked about their low xGA Part Two - Milan away - Dutch players in the San Siro: If any opposition coaches watched these 2 matches, they will have learned that this is not the way to play against this team. xG 3.09 to 0.61 (0.11 at 3-1). 23 shots. Milan 4-2-4 out of possession, big switches, punching through the lines. Creating width Gakpo, Gravenberch, Mac Allister - all making us look much better than Saturday. Duels won has been at 45% in the last 2 games - he called this out against Ipswich, makes it seem like that was a narrative for that game? Part Three - Bournemouth and West Ham at home: Team selections and expectations Predictions Elsewhere?  115 or 129 charges? For us, is there extra pressure knowing that City might not be a factor? City Arsenal this weekend. Lots of reasons not to watch - dull football, faux outrage from the entitled disciples of Mikel Arteta Puff piece in the Athletic focusing in the NYC City branch bar in Greenwich Village - the photos showed very few people in the bar, the article was at pains to point out that there were usually more people there for City matches. We will be back next week with a review of the Bournemouth game. Thanks to Enrique and Daz for joining me, Paul. Thank you dear listener for joining us.

    They are none of our business anymore S6 E5

    Welcome dear listener to the latest episode of the 6th season of the pod. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz, and Justin. And we are 3 for 3, as the Reds went to Old Trafford win 3-0 and we looked good. We will go into detail on the game, we will preview the United game and will look elsewhere at the weekend and what else is happening in the footy world. Part One - United away: xG might not be the most useful: United 1.38 total, - Statsbomb - .98? - 0.08 at half time Liverpool 1.78 total - 0.69 at half time. BUT xGoT 2.44 to 0.64. Overall 30 to 31 touches in the opposition box (favors United) - 16 to 9 at half time. BUT look at the position data - so interesting….. First Half: United set up differently - Slot explain the 7/11 press of last season and the 9/10 press (without the man marking) 5 minutes - so close to that iconic Scouser kisses the camera moment - VVD and Ryan fantastic movement.  At 35 - Caesmiro took the hit, but Mainoo, Mazouri, and Dalot positioning. One missed pass should not kill you. 42 - Luis Diaz interception - Casemiro falls down, thought Taylor would give a foul. Salah has Dalot backing off, Diaz first time shot. Second half 56 - Mainoo dispossessed by the least noticeable of our midfielders (Alexis) sweeping movement and a first time finish - Szobo and Salah. Game over at 59 minutes. Jota and Szobozlai chances didn’t even count for xG Salah had a couple of great chances -  Game management - United had more chances, but it felt like we could step up a gear if we needed to. Salah… unbelievable consistency. Fantastic Michael Cox article breaking down how his dribbles have fallen off while his assists have dramatically increased - now ONLY De Bruyne has more since Mo started in the league. 10 goals at Old Trafford - top 5 in goals at OT in the time he’s played? We are just better than them, player by player. Harder challenges to follow (Slot) Part Two - previewing Forest and Milan away: Team selection - same again?  Forest - what to expect? Less signings than usual? Formation against a team with one of the lowest xGAs in the fledgling PL season (2.1) ? Milan - what kind of rotation? Predictions Part Three - Elsewhere: Everton - a real crisis? Chelsea - ownership crisis? Leicester - can’t be found guilty because they were relegated - what a wheeze We will be back in just over a week with a review of the Forest game. Thanks to Justin and Daz for joining me, Paul.

    Forza Liverpool! 2 wins and a solid start S6 E4

    Welcome dear listener to the latest episode of the 6th season of the pod. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz, and Justin. And we are 2 for 2, as the Reds return home and collect another 2-0 win over Brentford. We will go into detail on the game, we will preview the United game and will look elsewhere at the weekend and what else is happening in the footy world. Part One - Brentford home: Similar Xg to last week:: Xg - Ipswich, 0.45 total, Liverpool 2.65. Brentford 2.65 vs 0.36 (.27 set plays) Touches in opposition box, 50 to 17 (7-7 at the half), vs 42 to 10 First Half: Brentford probably had more of the ball than we might have expected, but didn’t create much - back 4 took a while to work out? Liverpool - slow, measured, controlled football. Started 4-3-3 maybe moved to 3-4-3? Great transitions - from our corners we outnumber them 13th minute, in contrast Mbuemo is chasing back Luis Diaz. 25th goal in 100 appearances. Left foot. Beautiful pass from Diogo. The goal on the break was joyous Ryan Gravenberch - the answer to the number 6 conundrum? Gravenberch the pessimist. Mac Allister a little too left in the first half. ` Second half Again, that movement and passing (especially one touch).  Goals was well worked, Salah finish. Could have had goals from Diogo, Luis Diaz and Salah. In between the slow stuff, there’s some great football. Game management - no shots from Brentford after 55 minutes, and we could have scored again (and maybe again). Atwell had his moments. Glad it didn’t matter. Gave them impetus at the end of the first half, decided to ignore the smack in the face for Dominic Szobozslai Part Two - previewing United: Team selection - same again? Konate? United - what to expect? New signings? Formation against Brighton? Predictions Part Three - Elsewhere: (Of the EPL winners of the last 11 seasons only 1 - us - is not under investigation for breaking spending rules) Transfers: 1 week left for our transfers - Tyler Morton, Sepp van den Berg, Bobby Clark - leaving. Arrivals? Marmadashvili, Chiesa Barca…..  Chelsea are back baby! We will be back next week with a review of the United game. Thanks to Justin and Daz for joining me, Paul.

    Well that was a great second half S6 E3

    Welcome dear listener to the third episode of the 6th season of the pod. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz, and Enrique. And we are away for 2024-5 - on the 50th anniversary of Bob Paisley’s first game as Liverpool manager, Reds go to Portman Road and win 2-0. We will go into detail on the game, we will preview Brentford and we will look elsewhere at the weekend and what else is happening in the footy world. Part One - Ipswich away: Very pragmatic - play in long if they man mark Xg - Ipswich, 0.45 total, 0.31 First half, 0.28 set plays. Liverpool 2.65 with 0.45 in the first half. Touches in opposition box, 50 to 17 (7-7 at the half). First Half: Ipswich didn’t lose at home last season, crowd was up for it,  -ve some hesitancy. MacAllister wasn’t really in it. Lot of soft fouls - foul every 2 minutes? Disruptive. Won 41% of the duels (54% in the second half) Formation - definite 4-2-3-1 to start, evolved 3-3-4 at times. +ve defensive solidity, started to create some chances towards the end of the half ZERO shots on target (3 total) Second half Konate replaces Quansah Wow, that movement and passing (especially one touch). They found gaps with movement, yet they won some duels… Goals were beautiful, Salah, Jota, TAA, Szobozlai, Gravenberch, VVD playing a part Some of the misses were beautiful Had other chances - Salah, Diaz game management - no shots from Ipswich after 68 minutes, and we would have scored again. Part Two - previewing Brentford: Team selection - same again? Konate? Brentford - what do we know about them? Predictions Part Three - Elsewhere: (Of the EPL winners of the last 11 seasons only 1 - us - is not under investigation for breaking spending rules)  Transfers: 2 weeks left for our transfers - reflections on our needs and some of the weirdness elsewhere We will be back next week with a review of the Brentford game.

    We need some real football now S6 E2

    Welcome dear listener to the second episode of the 6th season of the pod. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz and Sean. We are days away from the 2024-25 season. And a real game may take away the bad taste of the news around transfers and new contracts.. Part One - pre-season wraps up: Sevilla and Las Palmas Lessons learned: Team selections? Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz Midfield without Zubimendi but with Ryan Gravenberch Nyoni? Uncertainty surrounding so many players in the squad - feels like this will be destabilizing if the contracts are left to run down.  Outlook for the season - what position would represent success? Part Two - previewing Ipswich: Team selection - the Sevilla team? Ipswich - what do we know about them? Part Three - Elsewhere: Of the EPL winners of the last 11 seasons only 1 - us - is not under investigation for breaking spending rules  Chelsea - can any of this work? What charges might they face? 115 charges case being reviews soon Leicester - guaranteed relegation? We will be back next week with a review of the Ipswich game.

    Arne Slot Na Na, Na Na Nah

    Welcome dear listener to the first episode of the 6th season of the pod. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz and Sean. We are here in the last weeks before the 2024-25 season gets started. It’s been almost 2 months and I think we are happy to have some real content to look at. The US tour has gone very well by most metrics and in 10 days the new season will get underway. Part One - 2024 Pre-Season US tour - overall, yes it was a rip off, but we got to enjoy big Liverpool crowds and a chance to meet good friends. Pittsburgh and Betis Philly and Arsenal - the experience and the game SC and United Highs and lows? Overall thoughts? Players who have made a solid case to keep the jersey? Quansah is the Matip replacement? Tsimikas Carvalho Arne Slott and his system: What do we think of Arne so far? Who fits into this system and who doesn’t? Part Two - the upcoming season Many questions remain: How long before the team gels?  Are we relaxed about the fact that a lot of guys haven’t participated in team play and there are 11 days til the season kicks off? 3 players with 11 months to run on their contracts What is our best team? Role for TAA - Athletic comments section, .. ‘Apart from passing what else does Trent have to offer?’ Aspirations for the season for the Reds Aspirations for the next 2 games Highest hopes and lowest lows elsewhere? Part Three - Elsewhere: Of the EPL winners of the last 11 seasons only 1 - us - is not under investigation for breaking spending rules  Chelsea, Cheats and the latest from the Theater of Dreams $100m for Alvarez - WTF? Chelsea squad is roughly the same size as a Taylor Swift concert audience We will be back soon, maybe with more on transfers and an Ipswich game preview, definitely with a reaction to the first of 38 games that we’ll play.

    I've been so glad Jurgen was a Red S5 E36

    Welcome dear listener to the latest edition of the pod. I’m Paul and I am joined by Justin and Sean. We are here in the last week of the season. We finished 3rd, and all that’s left is to celebrate the Jurgen Klopp era. We may mention Wolves but we’ll really reflect more widely on the season.  Part One - Recent games: Away at West Ham - 2-2 (xG .70 vs 1.75) Felt like another one we threw away. Recognition that it didn’t matter as much? Spurs - 4-2, moments of brilliance, weird ending (xG 3.37 vs 1.24) Harvey Elliott, Cody Gakpo Being at Anfield…….  Villa - 3-3, moments of control and then the last 10 minutes (xG 3.2 to 1.74) A word about Simon Hooper - 10 fouls against us to 1 given to us in the first half. Part Two - what have we learned - using Data Game by Josh Williams as our platform Wolves at home - thoughts….. Is the season a case of overachievement in the first part or a fall off in the second half? The Klopp effect was great till it wasn’t Our defense - we’ve scored about the same as we did when we won the league Trent Nunez and Luis Diaz - can’t have both? Saudi messaging re: Salah and Allison Part Three - Elsewhere: City - more boring football from the Cheats Arsenal and City - defensively stronger Chelsea - Europa League? No VAR? Wolves, are you kidding? Man Utd. what is going on? We will be back with a review of the Wolves game, plus a bigger look at the Klopp era. Thanks to Sean and Justin.

    Not a good time to stop scoring goals S5 E34

    It’s April 17th - welcome dear listener to the latest edition of the pod. I’m joined by Justin and Daz. It’s been a big week in the Premier League and not the right time to stop scoring at home. Before we are done we’ll look ahead to Atalanta away in the Europa League and Fulham away Sunday.  Part One - Liverpool 0, Palace 1 - 2.81 to 1.98 according to FotMob First half looked very flat - Palace had a lot of moments, didn’t mean we didn’t have chances Manager talked about Endo and Mac Allister minutes - Robbo and role for Mac Allister Second half… four big chances - while Darwin may have dropped a level, others had chances (Jota, Salah and Curtis). Much better performance, one goes in I think we’ve seen that script before The subs - taking off Nunez and Diaz, not Salah A word on the ‘bottling it’ chat 6 games remaining - just focusing on us, can we get back in rhythm? Part Two - Atalanta beat us 3-0 - xG 2.6 v 3.22. Possession 70% Narrative about being outplayed? Or some defensive slip ups that then define the narrative? Formation, pressing  Going for a goal back when we concede the third Jota and Mo almost scored Part Three - looking ahead and the context: Atalanta - what do we think? Formation, forecast The run in Will being 2 points behind City be terminal? UCL impact Our mindset Fulham away on Sunday  Team selection and predictions Naby Keita We will be back with a review of the Fulham and Atalanta games and a look ahead to the next block of fixtures.
