A rare defeat for Arne Slot but thankfully it's only half time and the Reds have the chance to turn this around at Anfield in the second leg. The performance wasn't good but there's a burning sense of injustice about a winning goal that should never have happened. Chris Smith and Dave Usher go through all the main talking points from the game and then look ahead to the FA Cup clash against Accrington Stanley this weekend.

Not the result or performance we wanted, as the Reds stuttered and spluttered against a spirited United side who could have actually won it late on. Chris Smith is joined by Ian Brown and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on an emotional roller coaster of a game in which much of the focus afterwards is on the performance of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who stank the place out in a week when he had made himself the centre of attention due to his flirtations with Real Madrid.

The Reds ran riot at West Ham to increase their lead at the top of the table to eight points. Goals from Diaz, Gakpo, Salah, Alexander-Arnold and Jota secured the most comfortable win of the season so far. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Dan Thomas to reflect on an enjoyable afternoon and to look ahead to next week's clash with Manchester United at Anfield.

The Reds moved four points clear at the top of the table after hitting Spurs for six. Two each for Salah and Diaz, plus further strikes from Szoboszlai and Mac Allister buried the naive North Londoners and sent a message to the rest of the league that Slot's men mean business. Chris Smith is joined for this one by Julian Richards and Paul Natton.

Something a little different as the lads got together in a swanky recording studio in Liverpool to record a Christmas Special Pod. We discuss the season so far and where it can hopefully lead, there's some Christmas themed content and we answer some listener questions. Most of the gang are here as Chris Smith tries to maintain order between Dave Usher, Dan Thomas, Julian Richards, Paul Natton, John Gallagher, Stu Montagu and Terry McDonald.

Holders Liverpool are into the Carabao Cup semifinals after a win at St Mary's that was probably more comfortable than the scoreline suggested. Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott got the goals and despite the Saints pulling one back after the break, Slot's side held out without any further drama.  TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and podcast debutant, Peter Schulz.

The Reds twice had to come from behind and had to do it with ten men after an early sending off for Andy Robertson, but in the end Arne Slot's side deserved more than the point they got after a superb second half display. Chris Smith is joined by John Gallagher and Terry McDonald for this one.
