The Anfield Index Podcast

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back for another episode of Scouser Tommies in yet another international break, and another anxious wait to see if anyone comes back in one piece, but at least the Reds went into this one off the back of a good win. In this week's show Jay and Jim look back at that win, over Palace, and at how important it was to follow two defeats with a positive result, especially with that break looming. It also ended the neighbour's short spell of looking down at us in the table. Not the case for some other noisy neighbours, the ones from down the East Lancs, whose league position has led them once again to fix the obvious problem by sacking the manager. When you have to keep sacking the manager, maybe it's not the manager at fault? Also this week, referees are once again under the spotlight, where they like it (maybe), as some panel decides two weeks later that Isak should have had a penalty, after two weeks of us being told he should have gone down, or dived for want of a better word. There is a problem with that though... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Newsround with Dave Davis | Lamine Camara Transfer Latest, Klopp's Wirtz Influence and Liverpool January Plans Part 2. Dave Davis returns with another packed edition of Newsround on Anfield Index, focusing on Liverpool's January transfer plans, emerging midfield targets and important decisions surrounding several members of Andoni Iraola's squad. Lamine Camara takes centre stage as Liverpool continue to explore a potential move for the Monaco midfielder. Reports suggest personal terms have been agreed, with negotiations ongoing over a possible £58million transfer. However, Dave explains why a January deal is far from guaranteed. Monaco would reportedly prefer to sell Folarin Balogun and retain Camara until the summer, potentially complicating Liverpool's plans to strengthen their midfield. With Wataru Endo also linked with a possible return to Stuttgart, Dave assesses how Liverpool could create space for another midfielder and whether Camara represents the ideal addition. Attention then turns to Florian Wirtz, who has revealed how regular conversations with Jurgen Klopp are helping him improve his performances. Dave discusses Klopp's continued influence on the Liverpool midfielder, the advice he has offered and why his involvement could benefit Andoni Iraola as Wirtz looks to build on his recent improvement. There's also an update on Harvey Elliott, with Valencia reportedly giving the midfielder five matches to demonstrate his value before potentially seeking an early end to his loan. Meanwhile, Liverpool are considering a January loan for highly rated striker Will Wright, while Lewis Koumas could also face an important decision over his future. Dave also covers Liverpool's reported interest in young talents from Le Havre and Palmeiras, the latest developments surrounding the controversial Arsenal penalty decision and Manchester United's pursuit of Mauricio Pochettino.

Newsround with Dave Davis | Van Dijk Contract Latest, £100m Alex Scott Links and Alisson Uncertainty Part 1. Dave Davis returns with another packed edition of Newsround on Anfield Index, bringing the latest Liverpool FC news, transfer developments and contract updates during the November international break. Virgil van Dijk's future takes centre stage as Dave examines the Liverpool captain's outstanding performances and the growing pressure on sporting director Julian Ward to secure a contract extension. Fresh statistics from Michael Reid on Numbers Don't Lie reveal that Van Dijk continues to dominate Premier League opponents, recording a 75% duel success rate and 79% aerial duel success this season. Despite his age, the Dutch defender shows little statistical evidence of decline, raising an important question: can Liverpool afford to let their captain leave? Attention also turns to Alisson Becker, with Liverpool reportedly exploring alternative goalkeeping options while discussions over the Brazilian's future continue. Dave discusses the club's reported contact with the camps of Bart Verbruggen and Maarten Vandevoordt, alongside further goalkeeper enquiries, as Julian Ward prepares for every possible outcome. Meanwhile, Liverpool have been linked with Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, with reports suggesting the Cherries could demand more than £100million for the England international. Chelsea are regarded as favourites, while Arsenal have also entered the conversation. Dave assesses whether Liverpool would realistically spend such a significant fee and what the speculation means for their midfield recruitment plans. There's more encouraging news regarding Trey Nyoni, with the youngster reportedly in advanced contract talks and an announcement potentially arriving during the international break. With Alexis Mac Allister's negotiations also under discussion, Liverpool face a crucial period of squad planning. All this and more on Newsround with Dave Davis, exclusively on Anfield Index.
