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.
And now for something completely different! Join TLW's number one Dan Thomas and the resident left peg John Gallagher for a stroll down memory lane in the maiden voyage of TLW Time Team!
The boys go back in time all the way to 1995 to remember the 1995 Coca Cola Cup triumph as they reminisce about two legged round two ties, goalkeepers wearing caps and iconic Barry Davies commentary.
The Reds are up to fourth after first half goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Florian Wirtz secured the points against Wolves at Anfield. The first half performance was good, the second not so much, but it's seven games unbeaten now and Wirtz is off the mark at last.
TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton to reflect on the game and look ahead to the clash with Leeds on New Year's Day.
Well, it was a win. Not pretty. Not convincing, but it's three points and the Reds are now up to fifth spot and level on points with fourth placed Chelsea after edging out a Spurs side who ended the game with nine men but still had the Champions hanging on grimly.
TLW Editor Dave Usher and Julian Richards look back on this one and try to find some positive things to say after first getting all of the obvious negatives out of the way. Isak scored, so there is that. And Hugo continued his hot streak, so there's that too. And at least we're not Tottenham.
A clean sheet and a Hugo Ekitike double ensured the Reds picked up a much needed three points to extend the unbeaten run to five games and take Arne Slot's men into the top six for the first time in what feels like months.
TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Ian Brown and John Gallagher to look back on a pretty eventful afternoon at Anfield in which Mo Salah got back onto the field, Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch excelled in the middle of the park and Hugo cemented his position as the main man up front.
A late Dominik Szoboszlai penalty gave the Reds a much needed and well deserved win in the San Siro against Inter. Arne Slot has had a torrid week but he got exactly what he would have wanted from his players as they restricted Inter to virtually no chances while inflicting their first European home loss for three years.
Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on a rare feel good win in what has otherwise mostly been a miserable few months. The lads also discuss the continuing Salah drama and whether it can be resolved.
Liverpool's miserable run continued with a 3-3 draw at Leeds on Saturday night. The Reds led 2-0 and 3-2 but, predictably, couldn't hold onto the chance to hop into the Champions League qualification spots.
However, the bigger story came afterwards with Mo Salah's explosive and unprecedented post-match attack on the manager that throws his Anfield future into deep doubt. Dave Usher, Ian Brown and Chris Smith respond in real time as the news broke.
Another disappointment at Anfield as the Reds struggled to a draw against newly promoted Sunderland. The visitors were well worth a point and would have taken all three but for the irrepressible desire and commitment of Federico Chiesa who chased back to prevent a certain goal in stoppage time.
TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Paul Natton to reflect on yet another uninspiring performance and where we are headed next.
A first Premier League goal as a Red for Alexander Isak and a stoppage time strike from Cody Gakpo secured a much needed win for under pressure Arne Slot at West Ham, as Florian Wirtz caught the eye with a lively performance.
TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Dan Thomas and Peter Schulz to discuss a rare win for the struggling Reds that can hopefully be the first step on the road to recovery.
Wow. How bad can this get? As if a 3-0 loss at home to Forest at the weekend wasn't bad enough, the Reds followed it up with a humiliating 4-1 reversal against a vibrant PSV side who took full advantage of Arne Slot's shellshocked side.
Chris Smith is joined by Stu Montagu and TLW Editor Dave Usher to try to dissect this shocker.
Another game another loss. Probably the worst one yet, 3-0 at Anfield to a team that went into the game in 19th place. An abject performance in all aspects of the game saw the Reds deservedly lose as the crisis for Arne Slot deepens.
Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher for this one.
A miserable afternoon at the Etihad as the Reds failed to build on the impressive midweek win against Real Madrid and instead produced arguably their worst display of the season.
Defensively weak, insipid in attack and not helped by Michael Oliver doing Michael Oliver things on VAR, it was a depressing way to go into the international break and there's still lots of work to be done to turn this around.
TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Dan Thomas to try and make sense of another dreadful display.
Alexis Mac Allister's second half header finally broke the resistance of Thibault Courtois and secured an impressive win for the Reds in what was clearly their best performance of the season so far.
Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher and Julian Richards to bask in the glow of a memorable night at Anfield in which Conor Bradley gave Vinicius Jr the Mbappe treatment, the midfield trio dominated and Florian Wirtz impressed on the left of the front three.
A much improved defensive showing laid the platform for a much needed win over Aston Villa at Anfield that ended a run of four straight league defeats and took the Reds back up into the top three.
TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Terry McDonald to discuss a decent night's work at Anfield in which some key players returned to form just in time for a big week ahead.
The Reds miserable run continued as Kryptonite Palace once again did their thing. A much weakened Liverpool line up never stood a chance against the FA Cup holders and the mix of bench players and kids were predictably and ruthlessly exposed by Oliver Glasner's side.
We let Arne Slot select our line up for this pod so everyone has the night off and some random kids have been thrown in at the deep end. Not really, we wouldn't do that to our listeners. Chris Smith and Dave Usher break down this one.
