Man City 3 Liverpool 2 - Match Reaction

Proper footy is back but little seems to have changed over the break. Sloppy goals conceded, more injuries and a disappointing loss. It's like we haven't been away at all.

The defence of the League Cup is over after a 3-2 defeat at Man City that was as frustrating as it was entertaining. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Ian Brown to look back on this game and look  ahead to the next one.

Bellingham and the World Cup Reds

We're back after a few weeks off and there's a fair bit to catch up on. Seven Reds went to the World Cup and six are still there. Or maybe it is still seven?

It appears that there have been significant developments on the Jude Bellingham front with reliable sources in Germany claiming the teenager favours a move to the Reds, while we've all seen with our own eyes just how close he's grown to Hendo and Trent.

Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards, Stu Montagu and TLW Editor Dave Usher to talk Bellingham and other World Cup observations, while the lads also answer a range of questions sent in by you, the listeners.

Liverpool 3 Southampton 1 - Match Reaction

A double from Darwin and a header from the impressive Bobby Firmino ensured the Reds went into the World Cup break on a winning note. The first half was excellent, the second half not so much but the three points are most welcome.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Julian Richards to review the game and look ahead to what might possibly happen in the January transfer window.

Kelleher the hero as Reds advance, plus CL Draw reaction and what’s going on with FSG?

Penalty shootout king Caoimhin Kelleher came to the Reds rescue again with three spot kick saves to ensure Jurgen Klopp's much changed side squeaked through to the next round of the Carabao Cup after the 90 minutes ended goalless.

There wasn't a great deal to talk about from the game but thankfully there was the Champions League draw and the latest reports on a potential change of ownership for the lads to get stuck into. Chris Smith is joined by Dan Thomas and TLW Editor Dave Usher.

Spurs 1 Liverpool 2 - Match Reaction

Two lovely finishes from Mo and a dogged second half defensive display saw the Reds bounce back from successive Premier League defeats to pick up a much needed win at a weakened Spurs.

Paul Natton and John Gallagher join TLW Editor Dave Usher to pick through the bones of a weird performance by Kloppo's boys in which they looked like they might run away with it but then ended up hanging on grimly after a sloppy second half showing.

The lads also look ahead to the midweek cup clash with Derby County and discuss what kind of team they expect to see.

Liverpool 2 Napoli 0 - Match Reaction

Another goal for Darwin, another record for Mo and a good solid 2-0 win for the Reds to avenge their defeat in the opening match of the group.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Terry McDonald for a long and meandering chat that didn't really focus a great deal on what was a fairly low key, one might even say dull game overall. While the main talking points are covered, a whole lot of tangents were also taken with topics ranging from crooked NBA refs to Conor Coady not understanding how to use apostrophes. This one's a bit of a roller coaster!

Liverpool 1 Leeds United 2 - Match Reaction

As if losing to bottom club Forest wasn't bad enough, the Reds plumbed even deeper depths by losing at home to struggling Leeds as Virgil Van Dijk tasted defeat at Anfield for the first time. 

Chris Smith, Julian Richards and TLW editor Dave Usher try to make sense of the latest kick in the balls in a season where it is becoming a weekly occurrence.

Ajax 0 Liverpool 3 - Match Reaction

The Reds bounced back from the weekend's loss by thumping Ajax to advance to the knock out stages of the Champions League.

Chris Smith is joined by Stu Montagu and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on a nice evening's work for Klopp's side as goals from Salah, Nunez and Elliott ensured safe passage into the last 16.

Nottingham Forest 1 Liverpool 0 - Match Reaction

From the high of last weekend's victory over City to the depths of despair and defeat the Premier League's bottom club. That's 2022/23 Liverpool for you.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and a just home from the City Ground Julian Richards for the post mortem into perhaps the biggest setback of the season so far. 

Liverpool 1 West Ham 0 - Match Reaction

The Reds kept their recent momentum going with a hard fought 1-0 over West Ham. Darwin Nunez was electric and bagged the only goal of the game, while at the other end Alisson was needed to save a first half penalty.

It's the morning after the night before and Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on a fairly low key evening at Anfield that was lit up only by the explosiveness of Nunez.
