Dan Thomas and John Gallagher are back for another stroll down memory lane as the second episode of TLW Time Team focuses on an all time classic game. This time it's the iconic "Collymore closing iiiiiiiiinnnnnnn" 4-3 win over Newcastle. We all remember it, and Dan and John relive that night as well as the wider context around it, where they were at in their own lives at the time and how the season played out before and after. We also learn what Dan's nickname was in school, and it's a belter.
Another away day, another defeat. The Reds followed up their impressive performance in midweek with a dismal second half showing to slip to a 2-1 loss at Brighton. The scoreline flattered Arne Slot's men as it could easily have been much worse. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and John Gallagher to look back on another deflating loss - the 10th in the league so far this season - and to discuss whether there will be any action taken by the club in this upcoming international break.
Well that's more like it! The Reds bounced back from recent disappointments by producing arguably their most complete 90 minute performance of the season to completely overwhelm Galatasaray. Chris Smith and Dave Usher reflect on a rare enjoyable night at Anfield in which Arne Slot's side played with the kind of high tempo and intensity that has been so notably absent all season. Is this a one off or a sign of better things to come?
Was this a new low point in a season full of them? Spurs were the butt of everybody’s jokes going into this game, but they were the ones laughing at full time after Richarlison of all people popped up with a last minute equaliser in front of the Kop. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Julian Richards to dissect another wretched day for the Reds.
It's happened again. Another away game at Galatasaray, another 1-0 defeat, another game that was wide open yet we somehow failed to score. Thankfully we have the chance to turn things around at Anfield next week. TLW Editor Dave Usher is jopined by John Gallagher for this one. 
We're back after a technical disaster caused our last Wolves pod to be lost in the internet wilderness forever. Thankfully this one sees us with a win to talk about as the Reds banished the disappointment of midweek to set the record straight against the Premier League's bottom club.  Chris Smith is joined by Paul Natton and Dave Usher to reflect on a night in which Rio Ngumoha shone, Curtis Jones gave a reminder of what he has to offer and Andy Robertson scored what may well prove to be his last ever Liverpool goal *wipes tear*
The Reds moved back into the Champions League qualification positions by putting five past West Ham and in the process showed that maybe they're finally getting the hang of this set-piece lark. Three goals came from corner kicks, and that ultimately proved the difference in what was otherwise an even contest. Chris Smith is joined by John Gallagher and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on this game, to look ahead to the next one and to also answer some questions from you the listeners.
Alexis Mac Allister's dramatic 97th minute winner gave the Reds an undeserved but hilarious win at the City Ground as Arne Slot recorded his first win against Forest. The first half performance was dreadful but things did improve after the break and the three points are most welcome. Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss this one and to look ahead to West Ham at Anfield next week.
Goals from Curtis Jones, Dom Szoboszlai and a Mo Salah penalty secured passage through to the next round of the FA Cup as the Reds comfortably dealt with Brighton at Anfield. Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Dan Thomas to look back at the game and preview next week's trip to Nottingham Forest.
Virgil Van Dijk's header ensured the Reds bounced back from the weekend loss to Manchester City and ended Sunderland's unbeaten home record in the process. While not being a classic performance, it was a good three points built on an excellent defensive effort. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Terry McDonald to look back on this game and to look ahead to the FA Cup clash at the weekend.
The Reds looked to have this game won thanks to Dom Szoboszlai's latest special free-kick, but a late collapse saw Manchester City walk away with all three points to record a rare win at Anfield. Chris Smith is joined by Dan Thomas and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on another deflating loss in a season full of them.
The Reds overcame an uninspiring opening half an hour that saw them fall behind to bounce back emphatically with a 4-1 win over Newcastle in which once again the flourishing partnership of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike came to the fore.  Ekitike scored twice and Wirtz added a third before an emotional Ibou Konate honoured his late father with a goal at the Kop end. TLW Editor Dave Usher and Paul Natton look back on an enjoyable night at Anfield and look ahead to what will hopefully be another against City next week.
Six goals and a clean sheet for the Reds as they continued to show that the open brand of Champions League football suits them far better than the attritional set-piece warfare of domestic football. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Stu Montagu and Pete Schulz to reflect on a fun evening, while also looking ahead to the weekend's clash with Newcastle and discussing the broader topic of injuries, transfers (or lack of) and Arne Slot's future.
The Reds' unbeaten limp came to an abrupt end as Bournemouth scored with the very last kick of the game to win at the Vitality Stadium. Liverpool had come from 2-0 to level but the closing stages were end to end and both teams had chances to win it before the Cherries' last gasp goal. Chris Smith and Dave Usher react to a tough one and discuss how this five game winless run in the league might impact the job security of Arne Slot.
Another good night in Europe saw the Reds come away with an impressive 3-0 win to put themselves in a great position to secure a spot in the knockout stages without having to go through the playoff route.  Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on a satisfying night in which the summer signings continued their excellent good form of late, Dom Szoboszlai scored a clever free-kick and Mo Salah returned to the fold following AFCON. We even had a 'cut inside and score' moment from Cody!
A fourth consecutive draw in the league but the unbeaten limp extends to 12 games. In fairness, the performance was much better than the result and there was a lot to like, specifically the performance of Florian Wirtz who was outstanding. Julian Richards joins TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on this one and look ahead to Marseille in midweek.
Four excellent goals lit up an otherwise fairly drab evening at Anfield as the Reds booked their place in the FA Cup fourth round where they will face Brighton. Szoboszlai went from hero to villain in one half, while Wirtz and ekitike both came off the bench to score late on. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Dan Thomas to look back on this game, as well as react to the news that Xabi Alonso is now on the market and discuss how that might impact Arne Slot's position.
A bore draw in which the Reds comfortably kept the league leaders in check while offering very little goal threat of their own. Still, a point at Arsenal is nothing to be sniffed at, especially when your entire forward line is missing. Chris Smith is joined by Dave Usher to discuss a somewhat encouraging showing marred by what looks like a bad injury to poor Conor Bradley.
Cody Gakpo's stoppage time goal had looked to have given the Reds victory at Fulham only for a once in a lifetime strike from Harrison Reed to deny Arne Slot's men at the death. In truth, a draw was a fair result.  Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on this one and preview this week's ominous looking trip to Arsenal.
The unbeaten run stretches to eight but it was a tough watch as Liverpool and Leeds barely landed a glove on eachother in a New Year's Day bore draw at Anfield. Ian Brown and Julian Richards join TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on a real snoozefest to kick 2026 off.
