James Pearce and Adny Jones join Tony Evans to discuss a 4-1 cup win against Barnsley, and whether the availability of Xabi Alonso - relieved of duties this week by Real Madrid - adds any pressure to Arne Slot.

The gang start with the win that stretches the unbeaten run to 11. But it wasn’t all plain sailing - what was Dominik Szoboszlai thinking with that backheel in the box?

Then the focus shifts to the manager following Xabi Alonso's sacking at Real Madrid - and whether that has any impact on Arne Slot's position.

There’s also discussion of whether the youth setup, transfer activity, and more!

James Pearce and Andy Jones join Tony Evans to discuss a decent night for Liverpool away to the league leaders, albeit one that ends in yet another draw.

The panel discuss some improved performance in defence and midfield, but once again question the slightly stagnant attack. And they ask whether this has eased pressure on the manager ahead of a busy month.

There’s also time for an FA Cup preview, with the Reds facing Barnsley on Monday, and heartfelt tributes to Liverpool great Kevin Keegan following the revealing of his cancer diagnosis.

Andy Jones and James Pearce join Tony Evans to discuss the fallout from a bruising draw at Fulham, asking whether this was one of the most deflating moments of the season and how much responsibility Liverpool must take for another late collapse.

The panel debate game management after Cody Gakpo’s stoppage-time goal, analyse a blunt first-half display with no shots on target, and assess what Ekitiké’s absence meant for the attack.

Plus: the latest on a potential centre back signing, updates on Harvey Elliott’s possible MLS move and a look ahead to a daunting trip to top-of-the-table Arsenal.
