The Liverpool Way Podcast

The Reds moved back into the top four as the big money lads made their presence felt at Selhurst Park. Alexis Mac Allister's headed goal separated the teams at the break, before Bradley Barcola fed Florian Wirtz for the second, and Wirtz then fed Alexander Isak for the third. A nonsensical stoppage time penalty provided Palace with a consolation and robbed the brilliant Alisson Becker of the clean sheet he deserved, but all in all it was a satisfactory afternoon's work for Andoni Iraola's side before the international break. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton for this one.

Liverpool led twice in Turkey but somehow slumped to a 3-2 defeat following a late defensive horror show. Trey Nyoni bagged his first senior goal and Alexander Isak came off the bench to find the net with a header, but lapses at the back proved costly. Chris Smith is joined by Ian Brown and TLW Editor Dave Usher for this one.

It was a frustrating afternoon at Anfield as the Reds could find no way through the resolute rearguard and deplorable gamesmanship of the Champions. A sloppy goal given away in the first half proved decisive as Andoni Iraola's men showed plenty of endeavour and spirit, but not enough quality to break down the Gunners. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Julian Richards to break down this one.

The Reds advanced to the next round of the Carabao Cup after a penalty shoot out win over Chelsea at Anfield in which Joe Gomez finally found the net after 11 long years. It won't be classed as an 'official' goal but it counts in our hearts! Chris Smith is joined by Stu Montagu and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on this one. Amongst the topics discussed are the rapid  development of Trey Nyoni, another dominant display from Ronald Araujo and just how annoying Jordan Henderson is when he isn't playing for your team.

The Reds recorded their first Premier League home win of the season as a lively first half in attack and a resolute second half at the back was enough to see off in form Brighton. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Dan Thomas and John Gallagher to mostly talk about the phenomenal human that is Ronald Araujo, while others may also get a brief mention here and there.  

A seven goal thriller at Anfield as Rio Ngumoha stole the show with a brilliant display to help the Reds maintain their 100% start to the Champions League campaign. Alexis Mac Allister continued his impressive start to the season with two goals while Florian Wirtz capped a good seven days for him personally with what turned out to be the winning goal. Oh, and we also had Mad Dog Araujo score and leap into the crowd to hug fans. Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher as well as a returning regular for this one. 

Goals from Victor Munoz and Alexander Isak capped a second half comeback to secure three points for the Reds in a hard fought win over Brentford, who ended the game with only nine men. Chris Smith is joined by Ian Brown and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on a satisfactory afternoon down in West London. The Reds three huge money signings all made significant contributions, while Jeremy Jacquet and Munoz continued their early season promise. 

Bradley Barcola is finally off and running after a superb hat-trick helped the Reds to a big win away in Austria. Lewis Koumas bagged his first Champions League goal and defenders Ronald Araujo, Kostas Tsimikas and Jeremie Frimpong filled their boots with goals and assists on a good night for Andoni Iraola's men. Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on a good night at the office, while also looking back on the absolute sham contest from last weekend and all the ramifications to come from it. 

We’ve all known it for a long time, but now Manchester City have reportedly been found guilty of the vast majority of the Premier League charges against them. The punishment is still to be decided, but after years of denials, legal battles and delays, the biggest financial scandal in Premier League history has reached a landmark moment. Dan Thomas is joined by John Gallagher and Paul Natton to pick through the verdict, what it means for Manchester City and their years of success, what punishment could follow, and the wider ramifications for the Premier League and English football.

Alexander Isak’s second half strike ensured it was a successful return to Bournemouth for Andoni Iraola, as the Reds defence took centre stage in a hard fought 1-0 win. Dan Thomas and Paul Natton join TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on an afternoon in which Jeremy Jacquet once again shone but the struggles of Florian Wirtz continued.
