Let's go exploring a total wine. Their prices are ridiculously low. Wonderous selection, helpful guides, always low prices. Total wine and more. It's Monday night, and as we're edging closer to Yuletide cheer, the world is a gog at the swagger brian gold scoring panache of Liverpool's dashing fullback flanny alvez. The red men sit in second place. Only two points shy of leaders arsenal. We've all got a shorts on, and we're semi excited. It's a day trippers. On tonight's show, we savour the public roasting of North London's finest fowl, lished out by head chef Suarez and his busy trip of supporting comedy chefs, in what was a sumptuous opener to a Christmas feast of football. We start at new Liverpool 11, and this time it's the turn of the worst reds we've seen play. We get mole back on the phone, and we ask him if those left-back targets have been dumped after the emergence of Liverpool's current stylish incumbent, John Berto Carlos. We speak in depth to our guest this week, saw his tears on F.S.G. and his thoughts on the future, and we'll be discussing all things red and card with the arrival of the bluebirds on Saturday. Before we finish out, we more of your weird and wonderful questions. Now before we kick off, you'll have noticed us retweet a lot of content from Liverpool Waze account, and then from ours. Well tonight, we're delighted to announce a formal collaboration of sorts between our two accounts with Liverpool Waze founder Colin Turley coming on board, day trippers in a production capacity, and us tweeting day trippers related info via the Liverpool Waze account as well as our own. So you can expect to see more original content from us, in terms of interviews and other delightful stuff coming out by our Liverpool Waze. Right, let's begin the show by introducing a new feature. We recently selected our all-time favor 11, but who would form your worst Liverpool 11? So let's begin with the worst goalkeeper that we've ever witnessed. Now because I'm standing here beside the microphone, and I want to get my shed in there, I'm going to go mine first here. And mine is Charles E. Tongge, who was a superstar for us from '07 to '08. He managed to let in 10 golds in seven appearances at an average of 1.42 golds per game. Start! Yep, happy with that. He was also a remarkable shithouse, and quite fanpirical when it came to crosses, and I think he ended his time there with a little bit of fallout or raffle, which also adds to the whole parcel. So Charles E. Tongge was mine. Not to forget the hills, but I think the other three. Exactly. You got kicked out of the club, right? Exactly. But anyway, so demo flood your keeper. I was having a think about this earlier on, and I remember Mike Hilber. He got a fantastic curly head of hair. He did have a lovely career. He couldn't save a ball to save his life, even though he was a pretty poor keeper. 51 guys first wasn't great. I don't know if I actually managed to see him play for us in one of his two games, and it was Paul Jones, who saw him in an emergency, saw him in an employee, and went over for the game, and woke up the next day and seen this keeper going, "What the hell is that?" Kept the clean sheet, though. I like Paul Jones, yeah, he wasn't bad. Yeah, yeah. But the one for me is David James. My god, he's over 200 games for the club, and I don't remember him having to go home. All I ever remember is David James is exactly what he is. Calamity James. Okay. So, David James for me. David James, straight up. Phil. I know we've had some fucking hell or something in the years, to be honest with you. Think about how long it took us to find Raina and get to Raina, and the amount of gold he was going to show. I have to say, for the money that we spent, and for the reputation that he came with, Chris Corkeland was the biggest shotgun waste of fucking money ever, right? Him and the stupid peeked hat that he wore, and continues to wear, and he was more. He was made of crisps. The fellow was broken every time, even when he was getting the chance he was broken. To this day, I cannot understand how he even got an inkling cap. I reckon his outlet must have split the money with whoever picked it. Did that ever happen? Did he get that? There was a big bet going on. How many got the cap? He got one cap. He totally didn't get him again. I thought his outlet was sick. I reckon the money was definitely split there. To get the inkling cap. For me, man, just for the reputation he had, the money that was spent in him, he was just an honorable player to show. He was a crazy boy as well, because he bought the deal deck the same day. Just two Hebrews in the same day. James Owens, who would you go for? When I saw this, I immediately thought it's on. It's one where there is some competition, actually. We've got some 30 frat keepers in the last, certainly in the time many of us have been watching. My other thought was Pidelli. He was unalone from the thing he was, he saw Victoria, yeah. On game against Chan in the dead rubber at the end of the '06, '07 season, Charlton. I remember he conceded one goal, which was very soft, which was a free kick. He's not, I don't think he's really done anything of no sins. But I'd go with the times because he was just, you heard various... I mean, he wasn't very good when he played, Jeremy. He heard various accounts of him being a terrible professional. And of course, what we subsequently saw was him acting like a complete dickhead at Merhillsbury Memorial Service. He takes the cake. Okay. Second shift, Ritaj. And so it's serious. You're a pick. I'd probably have to go with with Calamity James. Probably just because it was actually a decent keeper, but it seemed to be in big moments. He just seemed to have dropped an absolute clanger. I only ever seem to remember those parts about his Liverpool career here, really. So yeah, I'll probably stick with David James. Right. We should move away from that, not to a review of the wonderful, wonderful match of the weekend, which was Taunham versus Liverpool. What's not to love? I know myself, I was trying to make some notes about this. And what I loved about it, what I enjoyed about it, and it turned into one of those little things that almost sounds when you read it back. It's almost as if I made it up, but it was actually real, and this is the order in which these things happen. So before we get... Is this not a poem? It's a poem, man. Yeah, yeah. It's not a poem. It's a list of stuff. It's a list of stuff. That roims. No, it doesn't. It actually doesn't work. Yeah, you know what, I'm going to save this to the end because I'm looking at Casey. You know what, you can get the ball going here. You can get us talking about the midfield, the Jared Lucas conundrum, as you call it. What's conundrum about it? Well, there isn't a conundrum anymore. I think over the last couple of games, it's been proven that the two of them can't play in a partnership together. Yes, apart they offer such varying good things to the actual midfield itself. Going back to the West Ham game, Jared and Alan in there was a really good dominant, powerful attack in midfield force. And when we went to Tottenham Hotspur, regardless of the Jared injury, the Jared injury allowed Lucas to come in beside Alan. Initially, I thought Lucas was playing a wee bit deep, but as the game wore into 10, 15 minutes, he pushed forward up the pitch, became more aggressive in the same way that Alan and Henderson were aggressive in terms of their pressing. And you could see, again, another function in midfield units, which the problem for me has been for a good while on the Rodgers, is that we just didn't have a functioning unit. We now have two options in terms of functioning units. Both need Alan as integral parts in there, because he facilitated everything that went on in that midfield. It's actually wonderful to see a guy who was questioned, whether he would ever be Liverpool quality, becoming so integral to the actual midfield. And the same goes for Henderson. I suppose, without Jared on the pitch, he really took that authority upon himself to dominate the midfield against a much fun to Tottenham midfield. And I would have said at the start of the season that Tottenham game shaped the Bijays' army when thinking about it in terms of their powerful tree in the middle. And it was incredible. I definitely didn't see that midfield performance coming. It's so strange to see a small lad like Alan not be overpowered by three big brutes that were in there. And it should be said as well, Lucas has him given away as many free kicks. I can't remember giving away free kicks around to the edge of the box, which had been his forte up until he was left out there. And you know, him missing out the West Ham game may have also given him the impetus that he knew that his performances up until then hadn't been quite good enough. There's places for this. You can now drop Stephen Gerard and not be fearful about what happens when he's not in the team. You can leave Lucas out in certain games when we need more attacking impetus, when we need to dominate teams at home. We have real options in midfield, which is what we always wanted for someone like Rogers. James, would you agree with Phil's ideas there about the midfield? Well, I was quite pessimistic when I was on last week about this game. But of course, what we did is we started very well, scored a goal, and we carried on where we left off when the game restarted, and we got another one. You go in anywhere a half time at two in England, you've got chance. But I mean, in terms of the midfield, it was obviously integral to what was basically our biggest league win since we won 4-1 on all-traff. It was a bit of a definitive performance, and the thing I did say about the midfield was in open play, in some respects, it looks better for a tough away game, because they're all going to be diligent in their defensive duties, and they're going to be better suited to things like pressing, and by God did that show. And Lucas quietly had a good game. Alan was excellent, and Henderson was obviously a stand-up performer on a day when they were sort of 4-5 at least, and Henderson's running. I think Henderson was particularly if he could become a bit more consistent with his finishing. I think he would be a real fearsome player in the tough away games, because he's very, very good in those sort of games anyway in a more advanced role, because they're just spaced to run into. I mean, his passing yesterday was very, very good as well, and it's something I said before the game is that he needs to, in the absence of Gerard, he needs to offer a bit more creatively in terms of with the ball at his feet, and he did that. You know, there was a good range of passing from him, he wasn't the only one, but he particularly stood out, and but he is running, just the running he got through, and just the way he sort of got beyond the back line, which to be fair wasn't difficult, but Spurs were staggeringly bad yesterday, was really, really impressive, and I think for those sort of away games, he's just the kind of player you need, if he could just be a bit more reliable when he finishes, you know, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I think, look, an awful lot of people, and it's been kind of nauseating to listen to all the toldy souls about the Gerard being at the midfield to be perfectly honest with you, it's, I found it a little bit irritating, and everyone proclaimed themselves to be geniuses, I mean, it was sticking out of mile really, if you watch the game, if you're interested in the game and the way the game, the team is set up, but people did stand up, Henderson stood up, and Alan, okay, he's not immediately now the best player in the world, but he did play the way that we all hoped and had seen some evidence that he could play. So, Stearz, what were your thoughts on the midfield and the way it operated, and would you see, there was a little bit of joking down the TV about Gerard finding it hard to get back in after a couple of weeks of this, if it was to continue, could you see a situation where, I don't know, maybe we could see Gerard as a tactical sub, or not necessarily starting every game kneeled on? Yeah, I think, I said yesterday that it was kind of, it felt like that was Roger's team and Roger's vision now on the pitch yesterday, it's kind of how I expected this to play when Roger's came in. I think Gerard's been a quandary for Roger's ever since he got the job really, I think politically he's felt like he's had to play him, I mean, his stature at the club, he's the captain, and I think that he's felt that he's almost been untroppable if you like. So, it's in a strange sense when Gerard's got injured against West Ham, I suppose that's almost given Roger's opportunity to actually put out a team that can do what he wants on the pitch, and I think we saw that yesterday. I mean, I've been a huge Jordan Henderson fan ever since we signed him really. I think, you know, he's got all of the attributes to be a really, really great midfielder, he's got good technique, you know, he can see a pass, and he has got goals in him, he's 23, he needs to improve, he needs to become more clinical, but he's definitely got that in his game. So, I thought it was just a great performance yesterday, and a kind of like a real blueprint for what Roger's wants, how Roger's wants to see us evolve. So, I think, you know, my view's been at 33 years old, similar to Lampar that Chelsea Girok, become a great impact player of Liverpool. If you think about it, you know, if we're, you know, if we're losing the game, you know, 60, 70 minutes, you know, what an option to bring off the bench, to give us that kind of like dynamism, which he could probably give us for 30 minutes, but he might not be able to give us for 90. So, I've got a feeling that we might see more of that as this season progresses and certainly into next year as well. Certainly a couple of good results with the line as it stands would give Roger's, I suppose, the courage and the evidence to stand behind it, a decision like that. I think there's a stat that's floating around, which is really interesting. Alan had the most tackles in the premiership for the whole weekend. Right. That's where small out against that Tottenham unit, which we would have imagined, they would have dominated that midfield. Well, look, if you go back two or three weeks, you would have imagined he would have dominated that midfield. Well, that's actually very interesting. It kind of neatly leads on to the next thing we were going to talk about, which is our frontman, who are not exactly the biggest and the strongest individuals, as was the same with our midfield. And basically, we had a lot of relatively slight fellows running around, putting their arse in the way, getting their foot in. It was quite inspiring to see them, wasn't it? It's actually brilliant to see from the lads. I know Raheem is coming for a lot of stick recently, particularly over the whole game, but I'm going back a couple of years previous and it was when Coutinho got injured and I said at the time, we are going to struggle with him and the team. I do think he makes things tick in that half the pitch. And all Suarez is dealing with what he's dealing, but I do think that Coutinho is a big impetus for us on the attacking toward of the pitch. And you could see it on Sunday, Coutinho was excellent on the ball, but it kind of brought the same out in Sterling. But if you noticed, coming from midfield as well, everything was short, everything was 10, 15 yards, quick, snappy passing. There was none of this getting on the ball and launching the 60-70 yards in the corners. Yeah, lots of that stuff that Roger spoke about at the start, that haven't basically encouraged to receive the ball with people on you and make it ping a quick pass away and look for an option. And if you look at Helen, he's always, as they say, kind of on the half-turn when he gets the ball, Sterling too, lately. It's good to see. It was great to see yesterday because every time they got it, they were looking to make a triangle. They were looking to give it. They were making little overlords, 2s and 3s. Against the whole, we didn't do it at all. I remember somebody saying, "Where's all the triangles going? Where's the movement going?" Yeah, it didn't happen. But it was just great to see yesterday. It was just constantly just moving the ball a nice and quickly, sharply, nice to handle it again. Coming back to the wheel, I didn't think Coutinho had his best game again. No, I'd agree. But I think Coutinho is going through second season syndrome. It happened so many times. If player comes in and makes an impact because teams aren't used to playing against them, then what happens is they sort of figure them out. Now, the good players, and Coutinho has already shown him patches this year, then figured out again how to go again. And I think, again, Coutinho is starting to grow back into the impact he had in games. He's obviously being told to take more shots because we discussed that last week. You could see he's taken more shots. I know people are going to know him, but eventually they'll start coming off and we'll all be celebrating how he scores some amazing, wonderful goals. But Sterling's decision-making on the ball has changed immensely from when he went down the farm towards the back end of the last season to what he's delivering now in his lawn this time and the actual team. That switch pass he had out. I think it was for Henderson's goal where the ball was switched out to the fair. Yeah, absolutely. But the vision and the execution of it, had that been Gerard or Alan or somebody who would be saying how wonderful that ball was. But to switch it so quickly and so perfectly, and just the whole move that builds around, he was integral to everything good that happened down the right hand side of the pitch. And Coutinho linked in well with Suarez Suarez. Suarez was as usual, a few of self. He's just wonderful. And you just expect the brilliant to happen when he's around. And the way that team operates and the way the ball moved so quickly from back to front in terms of short, as you said, the short-share person was just a joy to behold. It's the Liverpool team that I've wanted to watch for a long, long, long time. Absolutely, absolutely. Moving focus slightly to the back then and we might go to you James and this if that's okay and ask for your reaction to Sacco's performance on the day. A lot of us very enthused by that. Well, yeah, very enthused by far from the bar from all the post. I can't even remember whether it was the post of the bar from about 18 inches out. But no, I mean, the funny thing with it is, it wasn't really the best game just defensively because, you know, taught them in all respects, which is kind of not entity. But there were times where, you know, it was marked yesterday that we clearly set out to, I mean, we were lethal on the transition, but we sat out to keep the ball, you know, we had a set about splitting wide of the penalty area on the ball and that kind of thing. You saw Sacco under pressure in a lot of those situations and the posture is just staggering. Yeah, he has a lovely kind of language delivery, isn't he, of the ball as well as strokes with the left foot and it just goes directly to his target. It's lovely to see. And it starts with fast completion are amazing, but I mean, you know, if I felt like I could run over by a tank and then get up and just, you know, walk away unscathed, I'd be confident too, yeah. Yeah, he was, I mean, in terms of Sacco, yeah, he was very impressive and he has been and I'm, he's the player I'd be building about four round because he's the youngest of the new signings, isn't he? You know, and he's obviously, it makes sense, it makes, obviously makes sense because, you know, he paid sort of 15, 16 million pounds for him and I just hope he stays in the team because, you know, what we've seen him so far has been really encouraging you. Absolutely. It's a future captain, I think, as well. Would you, would you go that far so you would? Yeah, yeah, definitely. He's just, he's just a leader on the pitch. You can see, you know, pretty much everything he does. He's, you know, his stature, his authority. I could see him, you know, captain in the club for 10 years. I mean, he's that, I think he's going to be that good and that influential. We'll probably come on to it later on who we're talking about the next game just coming up, but just while you're speaking about it's like, who would you see as his ideal partner? Is it the man that's currently the incumbent there, Skirtle or would it be Agra for you or who do you think? As a matter of fact, I'd probably go a bit left field and probably probably go Torrey, but I agree. Only because I think they've got, you know, kind of like, they both got different attributes. I think Torrey's got a bit more pace about him than Skirtle. But that's probably being harsh on Skirtle. I mean, is it a Skirtle played incredibly well yesterday and he's done really well this season. So it's a toss-up really between Torrey and Skirtle, but I just think Torrey's got that kind of experience, that winning mentality. He's got a bit of pace about him. He's positionally very savvy. And I just think, you know, on paper for me, Torrey and Sacco look like our best partnership, but we're blessed with Centreback. So I guess it's whoever's in form. Absolutely, absolutely. I suppose move between another little section there and maybe we can't really talk about that game without speaking about one player in particular. We don't want to go the end of the world, just lionizing someone on the back of one performance, but it wouldn't just be one performance. Phil, your thoughts on John Berto, Carlos, or Flanny Alvez as I like to call him. What are the scales, Kafu? What are the scales, Kafu? We've got to talk about this, Kitty. He was quite a man. I said here last week, I wouldn't have played him because the Tiger would have been more able to deal with the threat down the Tottenham wing. And Jesus, I was wrong. He was immense. I know we were talking about it in terms of what Sacco brought, right? But Flannigan has brought to the table since he was recalled. It's incredible to see it torn around and formed because he was much blind. We don't have to think back far to that Arsenal game when there was a collective score that happened when we saw John Flannigan's name in the team. I'm looking at it now. It's a bit childish at this stage because the performance he put in, he looks like a season pro in the left-back spot when it's not even as natural position. He's torn in the inverted fallback into a position of his own. But for me, the key for Flannigan is something that I checked the day and it is true. He attacks the wingers when they come to us. He goes and presses them and prevents crosses from happening. I looked up at that today and sports at 23 crosses yesterday, 18 of them came from Johnson's side. Johnson does not attack the winger or press the player on the cross ever. And then we wondered that we can see it goes from crosses. If we aren't going and pressing the actual person in possession of the ball on the wing, we're inviting the cross in. And Flannigan has torn down. And if you look, as I said, 18 of the 23 came from Johnson's side. Only five came from Flannigan's side. And it's just cut down the number of chances being created in terms of crosses into the box where we were weak up until recently. Now, we're getting away with it because Sacco is actually dominant early in the box, which is a wonderful thing. And Scarlett seems to be taking his lead. Scarlett Law seems to become a better defender when he's beside a defender in form. It's a confidence thing. And just as much as I'm relishing seeing Flannigan defend well forced and foremost, he's blossoming to be not afraid to go forward. Even at the end, he missed the chance that was put across the box. And, you know, for me, it's just great to see. It's wonderful to celebrate a kid who's been brought through the economy, because it's like it is great to see one of the kids that's been developed and a local kid at that as well. It's just great to see him. It means so much more to him. And you could see how excited he was. I have you scored that goal. It was quite sad. No way. It was sad. He was quite a relit, but I'd say he was semi-excited, but completely excited. But I think everyone was caught at heart warmed by the reaction and the understanding of Kenny's face and knowing that he'd given his debut and all that kind of stuff. And I don't know about anyone else, but I just thought that maybe it's just because I was watching an ice-cream, but the water dripping then off the bar as it hits is just absolutely sexual. I love that. I just love that. I replay that so many times. Trevor, but you want to send me as well. It's all gone, man. I don't mind a minute. These are just these are just these are just the facts. Let's go. Yeah, so sorry, James. You're going to say something like that. I was just going to say, I saw the ball hit the bar and go in. I thought, "Oh God, this just gets better and better." And I didn't realize at first it was Flanagan who scored. In the contest, I said, "I thought fucking hell." And like, if you got into it today, I retweeted someone and said there was a Spurs Twitter account and it said, "I'll fuck off in Flanagan's score." You know, it was really, really good again. And I mean, it's an amazing thing, isn't it? It's an amazing kind of, I mean, I was one of the people who, when, as I said before, went absolutely preserved when he appeared in the line up against Austin, because what I remember him as is a player who looked best in for like a really agricultural championship team. He's still got limitations. He's not quick, which is a shame because if he was, you really have to make into something for a very high level there because he's technically actually quite good. As we've seen, he's always been, even when he was quite a poor player, he was, he was decent, he was neat and tidy in terms of touch and passing. And you know, you saw the technique with the finish yesterday, but he must have worked incredibly hard. You know, it's a great credit to him for his application at Roger said, you know, not even wanted to take him on loan. He just turned up every day and obviously the coaches have worked hard with him. And you know, that was a really, really interesting revelation, wasn't it, from Roger's. I have to say that came at me completely by surprise that he threw that in there. It was almost vaguely insulting. Nobody worked on bar one, you know. But he's a point, isn't he, you know, honestly, not even wanted to take the guy on loan and then, you know, look at what he's become because he's been in the team for sort of, you know, half a dozen games now getting on and he's been really, really good. So just shows, you know, Roger's been the kind of coach he is, you know, with, you know, he talks a heck of a lot about work ethic and obviously his background is with working with young players. I'm sure it's a point he would, he would want to be very deliberate about making about, you know, what you can, what you can kind of forge for yourself if you just, you know, if you're a fighter, he's obviously got limitations, but he's a very, very good defender. And listen, while we're on the topic of fullbacks, I mean, it's been gone on for a little while now and I know it feels a little too there. But I found myself doing a little happy dance at one stage when Glenn Johnson actually won a back post-header. I was absolutely delighted with myself. It's such a rarity. And all the way through, anyone who would listen to me was hearing me saying, "Why will he never go to stop the cross?" And I was actually trying to feel there. He was saying he never doesn't. It's true. The kid never cuts crosses. It's, if he's on form and if he's positionally on his game, he seems to get away with it. But my God, when he's bad, I thought, like the last couple of games, I just thought he was, he was awful. Yeah. I thought the, I thought, both fullbacks, they were yesterday, but just back on flannel as well. I just thought it was quite interesting that Karakka was left back during that kind of glory year of Julio. And it's kind of, I suppose it's a similar route. And he kind of has got a bit of Karakka about him for me. I think he's kind of got that, you know, that scale's heart. He's arguably maybe slightly technically better than Karakka as well in terms of his technique. So, you know, it could be that he does for just similar kind of career. Yeah. Well, here's hoping. It's the one thing they're always, always to own about when you've heard Rogers being interviewed and doing various different bits and bobs, he's constantly mentioned that attitude has to be right. When we had Brian Care on that time, he was saying about bringing young kids through that they can have all the talent in the world. They see so many talented kids and brilliantly talented kids coming through. But if they don't have the application and the desire to get there, that they'll never make it. How many incredibly talented kids have we thought we were going to come through, not to come actual through. So, it's, as I said, it's delightful to watch them come through. But, and long may I continue because he solved the problem with left, full and poor old Alice is so cold, he'll be packing his bags at this race. So, while we're on the topic and everyone's feeling very, very optimistic at the moment, what about that as a kind of a landmark or a sort of signature result? I mean, was it the time or is it reading too much into it to say that that's a kind of a watershed match for Brandon Rogers and his time at the club? Yeah, I mean, I think it has to go down as a watershed game, really. I mean, to go to our lane and spank them five, Neil, I think is a watershed game for any manager. I think it wasn't just the result, it was the way we played as well that made it watershed. I think it was, you know, we absolutely dominated them and all of the things that Rogers talks about in terms of kind of like pressing possession, you know, playing with penetration. We saw it all yesterday and I think one of the biggest criticisms of Rogers is that he's incredibly good at talking the talk, but yesterday I think we walked the walk. So, for me, it was kind of a moment which should say to people that, look, this guy knows what he's talking about, he knows what he's doing and there's the evidence. So, the trick is now is to obviously keep it up. Yeah, absolutely. I suppose we go and blow it against Cardov and all of a sudden watersheds start leaking, don't they? Yeah, that's a test. That is a test in itself, Cardov. Yeah, absolutely. You've not really had a landmark result like this. We arguably not have this magnitude under Rogers at all. I mean, the funny thing yesterday is obviously Tottenham were genuinely woeful. I mean, they were just, they just wanted and they obviously a lot of injuries and I mean, the back line was just absolutely disarray. It was a bit of a perfect storm, really, the way that, you know, we obviously, we were devastating, pushing forward when we got the ball back and, and, and, you know, impressing them and we're in sterling for one and just looked like some, it looks like some, it's clicked with sterling, but then I think with, with, obviously there was a sort of a sending off at 2-0, but at that point, we looked as likely if not more to get a third goal than they did to pull them back. So, people shouldn't be misled by the sending off either week. It was a kind of game that would have could, could easily bend it three or four ones towards anyway. Yeah, I fully agree. Yeah. Yeah. It is a test for us now, obviously, to actually, you know, to not come down from it next week. You can't see it as anything other than a bit of a landmark performance, because it was, it was the kind of football, both with and without the ball, we'd expect it to see in the Rodgers and we've not really seen as much of it as, yeah. And that obviously, that's kind of the jarred question with it, isn't it a little bit of, you know, is it, is it worthwhile compromising every game? Probably not in every game. No, because all games are different, but yeah, it was certainly, you certainly a landmark result, definitely in a bit of a, you know, you like to think a signature performance. Here's hoping. Okay, let's move on to our guest chat tonight. As you'd be aware, we're joined by Sy Steers, who's a writer for the official club site, a man who's positivity for Rodgers and F.S.G. from the outset, as well, documented and actually much needed under so many pessimists around, given our recent history. So, Sy, thanks for. Two of the biggest ones in here, but I may sound funny, I'll tell you what I'm doing. Yeah, that's, that's one, it's like beating the same room. The week is going to break. It's all about balance. It's all about balance. Oh, there's definitely a karmic balance going on here. So, I'll let you guess who's on the positive side in this room. Anyway, Sy, thanks for joining us. We're delighted to have you on. So, let's start with a topic that many fans are concerned by, and that's the American ownership of Liverpool football club. So, what do you make of F.S.G. and where they're bringing us at the moment? Well, it's probably fairly well documented that I'm a fan of F.S.G. I don't come at it from the perspective of that they're saviors, that they're messiahs and all of that kind of rhetoric. I think that's way over the top. Well, I think they are, I think they're good sensible owners that will build foundations at the club for us to be successful. What they'll do is they'll make sure that we're competitive in the commercial space. I think they'll sort out unfilled redevelopment, and I think they will look to employ the very best people they can. And if those people don't deliver, then they're out the door and they'll be replaced. And I think they've shown that they're willing to do that. So, I think they're going to be good solid owners for us. Whether or not they can take us as far as the league and the Champions League remains to be seen. But I certainly think that in John Henry, I think he's an incredibly smart guy. You look at what they've done in Boston. It gives you some evidence that they can create a winning culture and that they're not just in it for the financial return. So, for me, I think that they're the right owners for us at this stage. Yeah, it is all about perspective, isn't it? Sorry, because if we had a couple of bad results, all of a sudden, those sort of ruthless decisions start to look, people start to question everything. But you mentioned the league and the Champions League. I mean, what do you see as our ceiling on their FSD and the guidance of Brendan Rodgers as it stands? I mean, do we not look like a team who could possibly compete at the very top end? Yeah, I mean, my view is, and my perspective is that that's what John Henry would demand. I think that he looks to me to be an incredibly tough competitor in terms of his business interests and what he expects from his sporting investments as well. So, you could see when the Red Sox had that really poor season, wasn't obviously this season, the season before, completely ripped it up and started again, and they went out and won the World Series. I mean, I don't think he's interested in second best, second place, anything like that. It's that the only question around FSD is whether or not we're going to be able to compete financially with these huge mega-rich clubs like City and Chelsea and PSG. And whether or not we can match that level of spending, and if we can't, whether or not we can be smart enough to recruit players and develop them. I certainly think in Rodgers, we've got a manager there who's an incredible coach and somebody who's got a track record in coaching young players and improving them. You just look at Flanagan, Henderson. So, I certainly think we've got the right structure in place. And me being optimistic, the sky is the limit really, I guess we just have to wait and see where we go. It would be very interesting to ask an optimistic man like yourself then, where you would see areas of concern. I mean, outside of what goes on in the pitch, because we do it after death on here every week, but around the areas around the club that are worried to you with mom. Yeah, I mean, I think I've said it a few times. I've been a bit concerned about the leadership structure at the club. I don't know if we've got enough experience in there. I think we could really benefit from a really football savvy experience CEO. And I know that's a common theme from a lot of fans. You know, somebody who really knows the game, who's really got those contacts. You know, sometimes I think we're, you know, perception-wise, it looks like we're a little bit, you know, when it gets to the real kind of nitty-gritty of, you know, of negotiating a transfer. For a big name, it looks like we haven't kind of got that, you know, that kind of, I guess that now is just to close it down. So, I do have a few concerns about the experience at the top of the club at the leadership level. And I think that, you know, that's an area where I think we probably need to improve. Moving away and making I suppose a little bit more about yourself, how have you found the experience of running for the official website? I mean, in terms of, are there expectations for you to produce stuff that's upbeat or has a party lying to it? Are there any limits to what you can say or areas that you can't delve into? Well, considering I generally write quite optimistically, I haven't really come across any problems at the moment, but, you know, the guys at the website are absolutely great. And, you know, we've got, you know, complete freedom to pretty much write what we want within reason, but, you know, you suppose you need to remember that it's the club website, so you can't really go in there, slate in every everybody. So you've got to try and look at things constructively. So, you know, as long as you're doing that, then they tend to be fine. So yeah, but, you know, it's good and it's, you know, I think it's great that they've actually given fans a voice on the official website. So, long may it continue? Yeah, absolutely. I suppose there is a climate of optimism, isn't there? I mean, you know, people, it would be dismissive to say that you just write optimistic stuff, what you wrote is very good and analytical. But, you know, we are a damaged lot of sliver put fans, you know, we hit Hix in July, we had Christ, we had Haji, you know, it's been bleak. Is it the time for us now as a fan base, as a group, it seems to be hard for it to take hold, but is it the time for us to sort of let go of the fear, people like our doommonger here, Casey, just to let go of the pessimism and maybe embrace the optimistic side of things. What do you think? Well, I'm going to do a cheeky plug, actually, for a peace server. For the bib theorists, I think it's going to be published this week, and it's all around kind of, you know, it's all around hope, you know, and I think, you know, as a fan base, what we really need to do is probably just let go of the, let go of the past, let go of the kind of like the Hix and July era, it's past now it's gone, you know, we've come out of it the other end, we're second in the league, two points off top, you know, we've got an exciting young side, we've got the third best player in the world, I mean, if you'd have given us that, what, two, three years ago, or, you know, certainly three years ago, then I don't think many people would have believed it, so I think, you know, we could probably do with sitting back and enjoying that and, you know, and looking forward with a bit of optimism. But I know Floyd is converted, he's sitting here, he told me today he's the happiest man he's ever been under a football. That's right, the happiest I've been in 20 years at Liverpool, I said that to you. Yeah, I mean, it has been absolutely short, to be honest with you, in the last year, I mean, that's it, yeah. And, you know, I think Liverpool fans have probably got the most reason to be cynical out of, you know, we've seen more full storms and I don't know, but, you know, I think that, I guess, you know, at some point, you know, you can kind of try and look at the signs of what might happen in the future, and I think we're doing all the right things at the moment, if we carry on on this path, I think we'll be all right. Yeah, well, you know, the biggest jinks in the world are like me, you can never see a golden sky at the end of any of that. The jinks, the jinks were smashed, wasn't it? I swear to you, right? Can we acknowledge that, what does that ruin at all? We can acknowledge that the jinks was broken, we get seriously, the hour walks into the house at one nail, right? And we're breaking, and it was Hendo's goal in the end, right? And he walks in, he goes, "What's the score? What's the score?" And I was looking at him, and then, Hendo said, "Missed the force went right." And then, as far as Missed the fall, I was told I was gone, "Get the fuck out of here!" Yeah, yeah, then I kicked him out. We don't want any of that stuff hanging around. Sorry, thanks very much for your thoughts and your insights. Very enjoyable. I would say thanks very much, Mike. No worries, Jason. Right, let's move on to the preview for our next match, which is obviously at home to Cardiff. We'll get straight into it, I suppose. What do we think if Annie will be the changes for the lineup? Do we see the starting element changing? James, can I start with you here? No, I don't know. I mean, one of the main reasons for that is the fact that we've not already got too many other options available to us, because there's not really, you know, we have got a few injuries. And there is also, you know, the thing of, well, yeah, Cardiff at home is a very different picture from top of the way, but when the performance is as good as that, why would you mess about with it? I mean, you know, I don't expect Louis Alberto will start, because I think the suggestion is he's kind of not necessarily quite physically ready. It's maybe the kind of game where when he does get started, it'll be in that kind of fixture, a home game against the team will finish bottom half. But no, that would be the one wild card shout maybe. But I wouldn't think so. No, because that's the team we picked is on Sunday, is basically what most people would say is our best available 11. Yeah. People, some people would debate the centre backs, but I don't think you'd change them in a game where, what they had to do. They did very well and they were good with the ball. So now I don't think so. You're not saying anything much. Fluddy, would you agree with James there in terms of very little change from next game? I don't see any reason why there needs to be any changes, whatsoever. And the only one you could kind of say, and he probably needs a bit of a kick up the air is Johnson. And maybe Kelly deserves a bit of looking. Let's remember he's an England international league. He's, he's not Morgan. He's not just coming from the Yule team or whatever. He's a good player. Johnson hasn't been cutting it from a glass wall. Maybe just needs a little bit of a shake, but let's just leave it the way it is probably. And it said, have a little word with Johnson. There's probably something to that flow, isn't there? He's utterly on challenge really, therefore, his position in terms of like, if he's fit, he plays. And that's it. That's what it seems to be. Oh, I don't remember Johnson ever sitting on the bench ever. Like, I don't remember going back from an injury and sitting on the bench and waiting to get in. It's, it's just like he's guaranteed his place every single week. I don't know what it is. But he hasn't performed and he's probably been the only one that hasn't really performed for us lately. But I don't see any changes. I don't see any nature, really. And even in terms of midfield, you don't see it changing up there or shaking up. Alberto, when he came on, was actually involved in the last two goals. He was involved, but the game was stretched to that stage. And I think there was one part, the ball was played for Alberto. And it looked like somebody had rains on him or something like that. He just looked, he had a quick, how quick it all. And I do think Ted would be biting in the middle of the wreck. The wheel triggering about was Madeleine looking to kind of rustle things up a little bit in there. I don't think Alberto's the man on the day. I just think it's going to be the same. Yeah, fair enough. What about the way in which we approach the match? Phil Casey, any ideas on how we might approach it from a tactical point to the game? I don't see any change to what we've done against other teams around field recently. We'll start with a high tempo and given that the midfield is unlikely to change, there's so much energy in there. There's no reason to change the actual tempo. Change our approach to the actual game. I had a look at Cardiff, especially. I had a look back at their match against Arsenal when he played at home. And the majority of their crosses came down their left hand side. It was a fairly even split, but they go wide and look to get balls in. Again, Echo would demo set around Gary Medell. He's a tiger in the centre of their park and he will go and attack people. He will go and bash them in terms of what he's not afraid to actually do. The door he'd work if needs me. When he signed for Cardiff I was surprised I was a big advocate of getting him in as the defensive monster that we needed in the actual centre of the park. But I don't see any reason why we shouldn't go and feel confident going into the game, especially coming off the back of the Spores game. Our biggest challenge here is complacency, thinking that we just weren't going to win it the same way as we did at Hall. Reassure me why we shouldn't have another Southampton, which I was at and was one of the most miserable experience I've had at Anfield. Again, I think the way we played, we weren't forcing the game. We were prepared to play the ball and play short, quick passing game that was there. Cardiff are no mugs and the one thing I will say is Bellamy's going to be in that side whether he starts or whether he comes on and we know how found Bellamy is at Scord against his former clubs. Listen, it's not going to be no walk in the park. It's going to be a toy game. There are somewhere only one in love against them to the 86 minutes and Discord 2 in the last five minutes of the game to make it safe and Cardiff had a good few chances at that point. This isn't the mugs team but I still think we should be powerful enough to beat them. Kind of just put a start in from the game against West Brom, they had the weekend. 44% of their attacks cannot be re-hanned. Actually, 44% of everything they don't cannot be re-hanned. Well, if that's the case, then the playing into what we consider would be a stronger side defence because you've got Saco and Flanagan on the left hand side, which would be their right hand side. Well, I suppose on that, then, I'm leading into where we're going to go next. What are Cardiff strengths and how do we go about combating them, do you think? That's difficult. I mean, Cardiff have done pretty well this season, really. They've come up and they're playing some decent football. I haven't seen loads of them, so I don't know where they're particularly strong. But the one thing I'd probably say is that we should be really looking for a team like Cardiff to be imposing their game on them and not worry too much, I guess, about where they're strong. But obviously, we need to be wary of it. I mean, if we play like we did on Sunday, you imagine that we're going to win, but I completely agree that it's not going to be a walk in the park. I think they're a good side, and I think that we need to go in with the same kind of attitude as we did against Spurs, and if we don't, and I think there's every chance that we might end up getting a sting in the tail. Yeah, so it's one of those, basically what you're saying is if we look after our own game, then in theory, in theory, on paper, we should have enough data to win. Yeah, some of the other guys might know a little bit more about kind of where Cardiff is strong, but yeah. Yeah, no, no, no, I think that makes sense to all of us. James, have you any specific thoughts on Cardiff before we move on from that topic? Yeah, they don't concede money for a team at the bottom end of the league, but they don't score money either, which is a really, really, an incisive observation. They basically, what I'm saying is they might be quite obstinate, but they're not exactly, they're not lethal. I mean, famous last words on that, but I think before they before they beat West Brom, I mean, I was looking at them before they beat West Brom on Saturday, and I was thinking we're kind of playing them at a good time. If you need to play a newly promoted team at Anfield, particularly now, we're quite good at Anfield at a good time. We're playing them at a relatively good time. I mean, they've not scored in about five hours or something in football before that, so they've not got an abundance of kind of obvious goals. I mean, Fraser Campbell's wanting to score a few goals, but I think a couple of those have been from corners, haven't they? So, you know, set pieces would obviously be one thing. I can't honestly say no too much about how they're set up in their away games. I've seen them quite a bit when they've been on television, but they've generally only been on telly. Well, those are the games I've seen them in. And away from home, you know, sort of your newly promoted teams tend to perhaps set up quite differently, so I can't really tell you how they how they line up. But you would think it's a game where a lot of if we play well, we'd have to be very looking up to win, so we've got to keep our eye on the ball, really, I think. Fair enough. Listen, before we come to predictions or anything of that, Ilk, Phil, you've got something here that you wanted to speak of it. I don't know if it's, I'm not going to insult you and say it's almost a redundant question, but there's a structure in place there, and you're talking about Suarez and the captaincy and Agar, et cetera. If we read it that Agar doesn't come back, then obviously he hangs on to the Iron Band, I guess. If Agar was to come back into the team, there's nobody's discussion is there, Phil? I don't think Agar comes back into the team, so I don't think you have to worry about that. If he did come back into the team, then he's the captain. You don't appoint someone, voice captain, strip him with a voice captaincy halfway through. I think Suarez would possibly be our voice captain if the show had happened to go on through to someone. To be honest with you, you could see on Saturday, I mean, Saturday and Sunday, how much work he put in, and how much he seems to grow on the captaincy road as well. It wasn't the Louis Suarez show as sometimes has been to his want, but he put in a great team performance as such, and it was great to see how well his English have come on as well. Remind me of the first show sketch where your man from Colombia starts playing in more English than each year ago. Seriously, though, I thought that was very encouraging. I think that makes a big difference, that open communication with the fans, and they can connect with him a little bit better. And he does come off as a humble kid, and Ferris, when he was asked that question about the captaincy, he basically said, Jara's the only captain, et cetera. Yeah, so a man who carried responsibility very well, I suppose we better go around and get an idea of how we think this one's going to go. Everything's off the table now, seeing as the jinx is getting busted left, right, et cetera. So we don't have to worry about it, usual. So, Damon, I'll start with you. How do you think this is going to finish? I think it'll be toy for the first 20 minutes. As we said earlier around, Cardiff are now most that they're well set up. He has got a good walkmanly team there, and he do. I was reading the weekend, the preview of the West Brom, Cardiff game, and he gave a lot of positives to the West Brom, and the main positives to keep in care of us to protect the lead well. That was not one positive because they had that they're a good, well-versed soy than what they do. They make it as difficult as possible. We always say this, the early goal is going to be crucial in the game. I think we get that with one. I think it's going to be probably two, three and another. Okay, well, that sounds relatively comfortable, even though what about yourself, James, what do you think? Liverpool, three Cardiff, Sissy Mill. Yes. Oh, specific. Any elaboration? We just want to leave it up there. I don't know the team that will absolutely twat the living daylights out of, but that's a fairly routine thing for us now. We've got one of the best. We've got arguably the form player, and we'll football. You score in two goals in a game minimum at the moment, so there's no reason in a home game at Anfield against the team. We'll finish part off while that shouldn't continue. If we're going to keep another clean sheet anytime soon, it'll be against Cardiff, because they're not a brilliantly potent team. If, again, famous last words, I'm not saying we will, but we're more likely to against them than most teams, I would think. Yeah, fair enough. Sorry, yourself. Yeah, I'd probably look at about... I mean, if we turn up, then you've got to be looking at three or four-nil. I'd go four-nil, probably. I mean, we've scored 14 goals in the last, what, three games? I think there's only one game this season. We failed to score, and if memory serves me right, so... We've just been at Anfield. We've just been, since Southampton, spanking, the living day loss at a team. I can't imagine Cardiff are looking forward to it, and I certainly can't imagine they're looking forward to facing Suarez. If we turn up and play half as well as we did against Spurs, then you've got to be looking at three or four. Yeah, yeah. Personally, I'm really not arsed once it's to win one little dimmy, just fine. I have the same feeling as I had against Spurs. It's basically... I'm not really, really optimistic, but Luis Suarez, that's what I said last time, I stand by that. I mean, the kids, the difference. Phil. It's time for a recurring feature featuring Airmate Moly. It's a magical transfer, merry-go-round about it. We've got some questions for Moly this week, and we've got some ideas about players that we've come across during the week. I'm going to get the ball rolling here, Moly. I came across a few that take a muy fancy. The first one is fancy full. I heard in... I came across in the Daily Express, they were talking about Claudio Marchesio, because Yves are no longer in the Seattle, it's definitely going to come along to us, the 27-year-old Italian international. Yeah, yeah. That's the first one. I tell you, start with something stupid. In the mirror, I know this is going to piss Phil off, because he wanted to talk about this kid, because he's a bit of a Bundesliga fan. This guy, Kevin Volland, from Halfenheim, a wide man German under 21 international, and the other one that, again, I like the sound of, but I think his total amount is meatier, because things are going badly for him. People are starting to say that, you know, Boney's going to edge in marriage and stuff like that. Now, after all those slightly bigger names, I said I'd start with a few of those. Do they all sound like nonsense to you, Moly? To be honest with you, nothing has come away with any of those names. While in this one, it would probably suit FSC's profile more than the other two, but nothing has come away with any of those names whatsoever. Well, let me just give one, then. I'm sure you have heard about it. I think you've mentioned it before, and there's this kid, Costas Mitroglu at Olympiacos, with 14 goals in 10 league games, and I think he scored all of his team's goals in the Champions League so far, and they've progressed. Bazaar fees, low-ish fees getting thrown around, I don't know where they come from. Have you any word on Mitroglu? Well, what I heard about him is he's actually Neil Dodd, that was the court that I was giving. Right. No, because I know we are looking at bringing in another striker. Even though on she had long been looked at, Danny Inge has been scoldest, but this guy seems to be the number one target. That's what I was told. This guy is Neil Dodd to come in. Now, Olympiacos have obviously got through to the Champions League last 16 or 15. I know this up. I don't know if that's what this matter to watch, but seeing the club is confident in bringing this guy in. Right. Very good. Moly, Moly, on Mitroglu, any idea what the fee being mentioned is? It's just over 10 million, I believe it was 10-11 million around next to the master. We're looking at it. I thought when I read it myself, it was in around the 7 million mark, but I still- No, having said that, when I was giving it 10 million feet, I couldn't kill wages, or signing on fees, right, so I reckon it's quite a cost in around 10 million to get him in. Got you. Again, sort of similar to what we said before. I'm expecting that if we're going to do this, we're going to try and get this done early in the actual window itself, would it be right? Well, again, I just spoke a couple of weeks. The plan is to get our players in as soon as possible. In the first few, we ended the window reading. No, no time, so now we put together a post. We are hoping that we can do our business very early generally. Got you. That business then would involve, if you've heard Mitroglu, what are the more likely ones that you think you might be reiterating what you've said before? But what are the more other likely names that you've heard? Coming wise, well, I spoke with Mitroglu previously. Now, what I've also heard to speak is that Alexan could also be an option. I was here, so he looked at him, and I know that we're also interested to take him off for personal on the times. I don't know if it's going to happen. I don't think the club is too confident, because what I heard the other day is he's actually turned down many nights already, and the quota is given. If he's turned down many nights, watch hands a week after us. But it is someone that we have looked at, and we will be interested in bringing in, if it is, we don't. Right, right. And I take it then, the DMV, rumours have started the subside of this stage. Yes, I have a good refraction there to make it. She's the North Rev. S me two weeks ago about Britain Rogers situation. And I said that I heard that it was going out because I finished up for it. I should have put that into very context, because I was told that it was around starting the season, maybe just after starting the season, that Britain Rogers and FSC had a slight falling off because the transfers that Rogers wanted the FSC to push the team a bit more, spin extra one or two million in the years, FSC didn't want to sort of have a bit of falling out over that. But since then, I spoke to a couple of people, all those issues seem to be earned out, and when it comes to the contract, it's just, it's been out of space. And I suppose after the weekend was ordered, I don't think there's any one of us that wouldn't want to see that contract be turned into this stage. I agree. So after the parties you'd be able to make it to a list or called Jerkade who rightly let me have it on Twitter. So sorry Jerk, that was very bad. Fair play, Molly. Fair play to you. What about things going on the other way down there? Are there any stories by people leaving? As we spoke a two weeks ago, I said I heard a Yale aspects going to Valencia. Now, since then, that was reported in the MIRR. Now, what was important there is the sections journalist who broke it was a guy called Ed Meillert. Now, it was the same journalist who broke the story that LSU were both a sign aspect. So I got a chance to speak to Ed Reece, that he'd ask him about it, that he tells me that three Spanish clubs are interested in aspects, believe she'd been one of them. I'm led to be zero to a real basis in Calte-Vigo. And I am led to believe the players themselves will move back to Calte-Vigo. Got you. All right, and it's in a straight up, kind of deal, Molly Oren in the US. No one days, no one days. He just hasn't sent the MIRR's to say, if I heard him, he's got your homesick as well, he's got a new diet, some weight program all of that, and he's got to go back to Calte-Vigo and get some game time and maybe come back in the summer. Okay, I think I'll say, is it wise that you've heard? Another near to pop up is Lee Nichols, he's a Wiggins goalkeeper, second slash torch ice here. He's actually originally from Liverpool as well, and I spoke to a friend of Lee's, recently, who told me that he's working out in a local boxing gym, Wolf & Kirby, just to kill up his confidence and his strength and so on. For the move to Liverpool, he said, he'd put a more definitely interest in this, and Lee's hope and deal can be done there. Thanks, Oren. Come here, Molly, I take it with Sterling's recent resort in form. The likelihood of him going on alone is less likely, and there will probably be any award on Moses being sent back to Chelsea. Could we all end it? I've heard of him most being sent back to Chelsea. I've heard that Sysoko, we're looking to send him back to Blanchep, he's become from Moza, so we're looking to send him back. I haven't heard anything of Moses, and the guys, Sterling, you know, this lawnmower was lined up before storage is inry, but out of storage is out injured, he's getting some game time, that may not no longer happen, but some of them are looking to be. I can't remember the one that Damon mentioned himself and he's here all this tonight, Muhammad Salah. I know everyone was going on about Draxler and the whole lot, and the likelihood of Draxler could be built. I'd get the Draxler room, or his country is rubbish, he drove buigner out, it was over to watch the game, but more than likely he was looking at Salah, and that Draxler, because he's watched about 40 billion, and there's no way we could afford that. Oh, the rumor was that Salah's agent was around for you, and I'm going to write and think about it. Yeah, I've got confirmed. Yeah, I've got one that was sent, I was confirmed, and a little bored, he couldn't get into the agent who said, "Well, it happened in here," so it was to him as well. Yeah, yeah. Mowlin, I'm just wondering, did you hear the one that was floating around the last two days of Pogba for 20 million, or was that completely rubbish as well? Complete rubbish. You know what it does does not say, the people in the world will be back at Paris. Well, since the lads are going for the event as midfield, any chance of me that I'll come into with this one? I would take it back, it was like, I can't see that, what happened? Well, what about Paris, I want to free at the end of the season? I keep seeing this free transfer at level, that's knocking around all the time. I'd say in the world, I'd say. Well, see, we actually have some money to spend this journey. I want this fight, it's been 20 to talk to me, and not taking into all three players, and I reckon in the end it's going to go off, I'll probably be Daniel Agar, because I speak the guy really free, who said that it looks like that he's gotten that we have an offer in the table from Barcelona, and that's Lee for Agar, and we are really affected, so it's really up to peer to speech. Interesting, and that will upset quite a lot of people I think are on, Andy won't be doing happy with that one. Very good, very good. What about, one last one to try out, it's another old chestnut, it's almost in the, in the every week he hears Tuyvenen, it just won't go away, this one, is that more nonsense do you think, or why won't it go away, basically? I think that will go away, I don't see any of that one either, if I'm honest with you. Yeah, yeah. Camary, one random name I showed you, is there a, where are we scouting at the Bernardo Silva, or something like that? Yeah, that's right, I was speaking to a friend of one of our scouts recently, and we have been all over in Portugal, and Bernardo Silva, he's a Pinfica player, they've been forward, they've been looking at him until he was 19, 20 years of age, so yeah, they've had a look at him, and now I don't know if there's going to be a jamming over, it's still removed, but we are keeping eye on developments there. Gotcha, gotcha, I'm just wondering, I take it, we haven't been linked at all, and I haven't seen any links with Ricardo Rodriguez, the Wolfsborg left back, he, because he looks, he looks a player. When it comes to, when it comes to left back, I, I tell ya, he looks like a state of Barcelona, doesn't he? Yeah. And you know, I heard Brian Bertrand, he's actually after Southampton is what I've heard. Yeah, we've heard him, so we'll have to be a little shy, going to Chelsea more than likely, but I heard Bertrand is after Southampton. Well, we don't need left backs anymore, I'm only doing it, I mean, we've got John Bernardo carloster. Well, yeah, you get it, yeah, in Twitter, I think, in my run of games, he's going to go as possibly get me back to the next one or so, but we didn't have to watch out for his name, called Marcel Janssen, he's the Hamburg left back. That's me, I'm always giving left back boys over, keeping an eye on. Yeah, Janssen's not about John Bernardo. And to wrap it up, there aren't any other waves of strays or rumours that you'd like to supply us with before we wrap it up. Don't let's refresh, that's it for this week, we're here to keep you warm. It's more than good enough, mate, thanks a minute, great to get it again. We'll have a good one. Great to have you on. Thanks for having me. Thanks a lot, cheers. Yeah, sure. So, let's move on to our little look at the... The reading's like, they're working, working some of our listeners' minds when we get some questions from them every week, there's some gems in here, and this week's no exception. So, we'll start off with one from Carl if it's Gerald, he's on Twitter @cjfitsgen, he asks, "What is the best thing that can be wrapped in pastry? What is the best thing that can be wrapped in pastry?" You can start off, James, he's pointing at you, mate, I'm not even getting into this. I've got a serious point on this, I want to make a serious point, in terms of pastry, right? Yeah, go ahead. But apple isn't a good example, because apple's better in a crumble than a pie. Okay. Oh, from... See, specifics, I told you to go to James and... That's... That title is unawined up again. Yeah, well, I just presumed it. Okay, right. You've got some... That's proper insight there, yeah. You know, there's this bear pastry with apple pies using very good, crumbles much better. It comes from rationing and not the blitz. It's not the blitz, it's not the blitz, you know, the Nazis didn't bomb us with fucking apple crumbles, like... Right, right. This would be a perfect moment for a collab, I'll do it. Excellent. Next question from Connor Lynch at official trial on Twitter, he asks, "Has our improved form got anything to do with Brendan Rodgers staying off the sunbeds in recent weeks?" I hadn't noticed he was looking paleo, do you know what I mean? Yeah, he's looking a little bit paleo, you can do it with no central pear spray tanner or something. Maybe that's all there is to... You don't think it's got any bearing on it, you don't think he's putting in extra hours in the office or anything? No, I don't. Okay, right now. So... I think the last of the Johnny Cash man in black rigos has made a big difference. We were like the horrible shitty outfit to Harrison away. That's a fucking jinx as well. Where do you enter it? Yeah. You see jinx as well in every corner. Next question is from... I don't believe it. From Kyle Trotman. We're going to James with this one. Carol asks, "What is your favourite father Ted episode?" James? It's a question I really wanted and it's a difficult one to answer because they're all at a very similar level. Father Ted was amazingly consistent. Do you mind the one with the raffle to get the title? Are you right there? Father Ted, I think. Yeah. How was a good one? Chris's special, obviously, was outstanding. I think I'm going to have to kick in Bishop Brown on the arse, but I'm going to say speed three just because of Mrs Millet. Right. It reminds people of what you're telling them about that specifically. Mrs Millet is one of Pat Mustard's customers, obviously Pat Mustard is sort of the LaFario Miltman who do... Sorry. She answered the door expecting it to be Pat and basically just removes a dressing gown and it's doogled at the door and yeah, great. Yeah, yeah. His late reaction is probably one of the best moments ever, isn't it? Those women were on the nip. It's brilliant. All right. Next question's from Gray, a Gray not David. He asks this and I'm going to fill the case with this one. You don't make it on an island, which is the single survival tool that you take with you. Obviously you've had a foresight to bring something with you. What do you bring with you? No pockets. Obviously, you've got to hold it in your hand or wherever in your neck or something. I didn't even look at the questions this week, so... Jesus Christ. And the abuse he gives to other people. Well, they're in the care bar box. That's not as survival tool. Jeez, you won't even listen this time, right, no, no. Bar the strength. Bar the strength. How will you survive it or bar the strength? If you wouldn't mind losing it and further it. I'm enjoying this. I'm enjoying this. I'm no close man. What difference does it make? I'm just my favourite one actually. This is from the same man from Gray. And he asks, I'm going to go round to everyone on disc. If you could have won superhero power, which would you pick? There's something obvious here. Daymo, what would you say? The invisibility, as far as it has to be flowing, they have to fly over back to the whole time. Fly over back to the match. It's so serious, one superpower, what would it be? Flying would be fucking cool, wouldn't it? I think if you could fly everywhere. Imagine the away games, no hanging around in airports. I think that would be pretty cool. It probably says something about us as a group of people that's too large of immediately looked at getting to the match. You could actually... You wouldn't have to buy tickets. You could just come in and hover. Over the ground. Right? So you could actually just hover. If George comes out, have you got a ticket, you just take off and you just stand about 15 foot above him. Over naked with your boneless dream, just above the gods. James, super power, what would it be? Well, in the past, and quite recently, I've had quite a few dreams where I can fly and it's absolutely brilliant. It's just... I don't know. It's great in real life and I never will, but I mean, if it's anything like when you dream it, it's brilliant. Yeah. I genuinely say, and this is a bit of a missed world answer, but I'd have the super power to just put an end to all kind of all and just suffering and, you know, and poor fortune in the world. If that could be quantified as a super power, that's what I'd have, because that'd be good for a lot of people. It would be interesting to hear that work. Is it like some sort of big sound wave? I don't know how you're going to do that, but I'm interested. You know, click my fingers and people would like stop getting leukemia and getting subjected to genocide and whatever, and I think a lot of other problems would go away as a result of that as well. So, good. Finger clicking. Good. Exactly. Phil Casey, your favourite super power? Up until recently, I always wanted to have a pair of time travel, for the opposite reasons to James, because I will be just a complete megalomaniac, and I'll take over the world by being able to go back in time and just manipulating so that I became the ultimate controller of the world. So anyway, what's changed in the last three days? I founded a new way to do it, right? Okay. I want to be able to download myself, download my consciousness into the internet, and exist as well. So, I'm both everywhere and in one place at the same time. So, you're some sort of Casey Matrix? Omnipresent. Oh, fucking hell. All knowing, all seeing, all in control. That's absolutely perfect for you guys. Oh, my Christ, this man's eagle knows no bends. Next up is another friend of the show, Johnny Milburn, Johnny asks, "There's some sort of slang here, which I'm completely unfamiliar with, so you boys are going to have to interpret this. You've got a lob on. So, what would you do if you scored a goal for LFC?" I don't even want to move to take that. The one thing I wouldn't do is load down my back and everyone's job on top of me. What, the photographer's got to fall out of the shot of it. I think so. Did you see the way he was holding Lucas up as well? Yeah. With no hands, is that what you were saying? Right. Right. Okay. Next question. I think we'll go around to everyone for this. This is from Irish Schuess at Irish Schuess and she asks, "What is your favorite moment? What was your favorite moment for some Sundays when?" She mentions the lighting Kenny's face from Flannel Scorer who's got to rank up there highly for me. I'll go around everybody. James, can I start with you? What's your favorite moment from Sunday? Well, any of the goals, if you can believe that? Yeah. The Flannel again one stands out because it's John Flanagan scoring a half-volume off the bar, isn't it? Yeah. But do you know another one would be Pauline getting sent off because it tuned a lot when they go down to 10, man. That's when you're fairly confident. There's no comeback for anything. Right. It would look like coming away from this with the wind and I was just really relieved. Was that a quiet little moment of happiness or was it a punch-the-air type of get-off? It was a Pauline you're getting the fucking bin on Twitter. Good luck. Good luck. So is your favorite moment from Sunday? Someone's got to dig out this piece of footage, but apparently I think it was James Pierce that when Flannel Scorer Rogers went charging down the touchline waving his arms around like a lunatic and I just love to see that. I think the great thing about Flannel's goal was it just showed everyone at the club together I mean, the players reaction, Flannel got excited, a bit too excited. I think, you know, Rogers was over the meeting and Kenny was even going mad up in the stands. It was just a great moment. Right. Nice one. Damn, are you a favorite moment from Sunday? The favorite moment was that time that the forest goal of Suarez when he's portrayal, which is true on gold and I'm just hit it as hard as you can and it takes that forced touch and just comes inside and rolls on the corner. Yeah. Oh, guys, that's a moment right there. Phil? For you. My favorite moment in the game. Do you remember when Michael Dawson took out Henderson on the run trail? Yeah, come on. Explain to me, how could that be a favorite moment? It was just ridiculously funny. He almost dives across him, full on rugby tackle and across him, right? And just, but I'd say, right, the whole game was brilliant, but that just had me in Fitt's laugh when I took out. It wasn't even an attempt. I had disguised a foul. I was like, I'm going to take it and you're going. And that's it. And he went. So that would be your highlight of something. Had me in Fitt's laugh, I genuinely thought it was hilarious. There was tears rolling on me. I love that I also had not a great moment was in the interview after the game. And Suarez and Henderson were doing the post-match interview, right? And I could understand Suarez more. Oh, my God, that's not fucking right. It's just, it's great. I also, Brendan, given the five to the bench. Oh, that was close. Yeah. Oh. No, no, my favorite one was Brendan as well. I wasn't going to say Brendan. The mascot trying to be a smart one to Suarez, given her the-- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Last laughs on you. Did you see the mock-up with that one done as well? Yeah, as far as it is. Right, let's finish it up with some little bits of admin if we could.
