PSG 2 Liverpool 0 - Match Reaction

It was 'only' 2-0 but let's face it, that was a hammering. The Reds are technically still in the tie but it's hard to see a way back given how vastly superior the reigning European Champions looked against Arne Slot's struggling side.

Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss yet another defeat in a season full of them.

Manchester City 4 Liverpool 0 - FA Cup Match Reaction

Things continue to go downhill fast for the Reds as Arne Slot's men were trounced 4-0 at Manchester City to crash out of the FA Cup. Despite making an encouraging start to the game, the players visibly just gave up after falling behind and it was far too easy for City in the end.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Terry McDonald for a look back at this debacle, including the actions of Ekitike and Szoboszlai, which leads to a wider discussion about the erosion of culture at the club. There is also a look ahead to PSG in midweek. *shudders*

TLW Time Team - Liverpool 4 Newcastle United 3 (the first one!)

Dan Thomas and John Gallagher are back for another stroll down memory lane as the second episode of TLW Time Team focuses on an all time classic game.

This time it's the iconic "Collymore closing iiiiiiiiinnnnnnn" 4-3 win over Newcastle. We all remember it, and Dan and John relive that night as well as the wider context around it, where they were at in their own lives at the time and how the season played out before and after. We also learn what Dan's nickname was in school, and it's a belter.

Brighton & Hove Albion 2 Liverpool 1 - Match Reaction

Another away day, another defeat. The Reds followed up their impressive performance in midweek with a dismal second half showing to slip to a 2-1 loss at Brighton. The scoreline flattered Arne Slot's men as it could easily have been much worse.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and John Gallagher to look back on another deflating loss - the 10th in the league so far this season - and to discuss whether there will be any action taken by the club in this upcoming international break.

Liverpool 4 Galatasaray 0 - Match Reaction

Well that's more like it! The Reds bounced back from recent disappointments by producing arguably their most complete 90 minute performance of the season to completely overwhelm Galatasaray.

Chris Smith and Dave Usher reflect on a rare enjoyable night at Anfield in which Arne Slot's side played with the kind of high tempo and intensity that has been so notably absent all season. Is this a one off or a sign of better things to come?

Liverpool 1 Spurs 1 - Match Reaction

Was this a new low point in a season full of them? Spurs were the butt of everybody’s jokes going into this game, but they were the ones laughing at full time after Richarlison of all people popped up with a last minute equaliser in front of the Kop.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Julian Richards to dissect another wretched day for the Reds.

Galatasaray 1 Liverpool 0 - Match Reaction

It's happened again. Another away game at Galatasaray, another 1-0 defeat, another game that was wide open yet we somehow failed to score. Thankfully we have the chance to turn things around at Anfield next week.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is jopined by John Gallagher for this one. 

Wolves 1 Liverpool 3 - FA Cup Match Reaction

We're back after a technical disaster caused our last Wolves pod to be lost in the internet wilderness forever. Thankfully this one sees us with a win to talk about as the Reds banished the disappointment of midweek to set the record straight against the Premier League's bottom club. 

Chris Smith is joined by Paul Natton and Dave Usher to reflect on a night in which Rio Ngumoha shone, Curtis Jones gave a reminder of what he has to offer and Andy Robertson scored what may well prove to be his last ever Liverpool goal *wipes tear*

Liverpool 5 West Ham 2 - Match Reaction

The Reds moved back into the Champions League qualification positions by putting five past West Ham and in the process showed that maybe they're finally getting the hang of this set-piece lark. Three goals came from corner kicks, and that ultimately proved the difference in what was otherwise an even contest.

Chris Smith is joined by John Gallagher and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on this game, to look ahead to the next one and to also answer some questions from you the listeners.

Nottingham Forest 0 Liverpool 1 - Match Reaction

Alexis Mac Allister's dramatic 97th minute winner gave the Reds an undeserved but hilarious win at the City Ground as Arne Slot recorded his first win against Forest. The first half performance was dreadful but things did improve after the break and the three points are most welcome.

Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss this one and to look ahead to West Ham at Anfield next week.
