Can Liverpool WIN The Premier League? | Episode 86

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- After yesterday's Man City v Arsenal game was treated like some kind of Premier League title play-off by some (even though it's September), we ask, what about The Mighty Reds?
After all, The Reds "only" finished nine points off the pace last season....
We also look at Liverpool's recovery from the shock 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest - a week of two wins, six goals and a big injection of feel-good - and ask why people go home early from games.
And we might talk about some other nonsense too. Because why not?

Me and my mate manage to get to about 10 games per season as live way down south now - an 8pm kick off we have to leave home at half 1 in afternoon and then usually get back between 3-4am on our return - we don’t leave 1 second early - we know what we are in for and we love every minute of it
I live in Birkenhead and can't get tickets 😂
@@20undy10- Thats sad, but I don't think you're alone there. Even if we increased Anfield's capacity to 110,000 there still wouldn't be enough
I like how the convo is all about Arsenal and City. !0 games ago, we were in position to win the league and faded fast, no mojo left. Now we are forgotten, even though we are one point off the top. I hope they keep not mentioning us until it is too late.
Really enjoy your podcast. Best channel for Liverpool chat. And your down to earth people. Respect
I disagree about Zubi. I think he does start most games, alongside Grav. With Macca moving up to the 10 where he'd absolutely cook. While solving our sloppy passing in the final 3rd issues that stem from Dom. That's a prospective starting 3 midfield that would scare the daylights out of everyone. If you want more speed and power, you swap Dom back in for whichever one of the other 3 needs a rest most. It's a ridiculously; technically gifted , tectically and positionally smart, defensively responsible, and fast in certain configs unit. That's w\o even talking about Elliott or JOnes who are both well above average Prem midfielders.
I hate recency bias so much, it's just ridiculous that we repeat the exact same mistakes every year. Gravenberch was washed last year and literally nobody would had him starting over anybody even endo last year. He's doing absolutely amazing but that doesn't mean Dom is a bad player just cuz of a run of "meh" games. I feel there's always a scapegoat at Liverpool and everyone wants the shiny new thing. Reality is zubi might come and have a shite run of games and you'd be saying the exact same thing about him.
@@rufusstewart762 I didn't say Dom was crap. I listed him as the 4th mid in a world class midfield. I noted his speed and power. He has been great defensively . But ... his issues passing in th final 3rd stem well back into last season. He does not have a consistent fine touch on his through balls. It is what it is. He can still be an important part of a great midfield, but I ghink it's now safe to say that he'll never be the 10 that Macca is consistently for ARG and the 10 we could have too if we sign Zubi so Macca can be unshackled
What proves your point is that both Jota and Darwin was equally ineffective playing as striker because there was no 10 who could regularly feed them.Dom is wonderfully gifted ,but he's a number 8,playing in a system that requires 6's and 10's.
@@jdQuinnn Indeed. It was no coincidence that the offense suddenly looked way more dangerous the moment A) Jones started playing midfield like a proper 10 in the 2nd half and B) Then the moment Macca entered the game, as a 10. both players who will carry the ball fwd into the final 3rd and have a deft passing touch. Since Bobby's decline began and he left, we have missed that.
Fans leaving is not acceptable full stop. If you want to leave the stadium early, go support Man United. This is why Liverpool FC is different. There is another fan who would happily sit in your seat for the full game. The lads are right, this will be noticed and it will affect the priceless thing this club has with its fan base. Do not come to games if you haven't got the decency to stay and watch the team you supposedly support till the end then your not welcome because they are the types of fans that are welcomes at Old Trafford or other stadiums.
We turned a 3 nil deficit in Istanbul because the fans stood strong and lifted the spirits of the team and dragged them up from the depts. Complacency kills clubs
There're fans around me who leave their seat on 42 mins...return on 48th minute with a f....kin Hotdog and STILL leave early aswell.
leaving ten minutes early is like giving away 1 ninth of what you paid for a ticket.
Mamardashvili has been brought in for when Alisson leaves. Kelleher will leave in the summer and Mamardashvili will be #2 until Ali leaves, then take the #1. We are basically future proofing.
Lmfao about Diaz parents not being kidnapped. Made me chuckle
I got off early on Saturday for the first time ever. Left on 82 mins to beat the traffic. Felt embarrassed doing it. I live in Nottingham and had a flight early the next day from stansted airport. So that day I drove Nottingham > Liverpool > Nottingham > stansted airport. My wife was waiting for me in Nottingham so we could drive down to the airport. I couldn’t keep her waiting as she was kind enough to let me go the game that day 😅 I wouldn’t have done it if the game was still in the balance so was well happy we were 3-0 up.
Lots of excuses there fella haha dedication mate coming from Nottingham each home game
Love that "you lost the league at goodison" shout from the blues. If we'd won at goodison that night, and won every game until the end of the season, we'd have still finished 3rd. So we didn't really lose the league at goodison did we lads? 😂
Jurgen Slot
Great content guys, you have earned a new subscriber.
Great point about Luis Diaz scoring more - it does look like he might be used as our cash inflow for the summer unless we opt to give him a new contract to keep him
Totally with you Robbo. Leaving early is embarrassing for us. We pride ourselves on being loyal and committed.
Copey’s L8 acupuncture story on the Patreon show is the maddest funniest story I’ve heard in a long while. You don’t know what you’ve missed if you haven’t seen it. Literally unbelievable - don’t miss out on it.
@@Liver1 😂😂😂
@@thelatechallengepodcast Late Challenge gold. Can’t wait for the book - Copey’s Escapades as a title wouldn’t do it justice
Fans leaving early....
It is a growing issue.
Those in the stadium are privileged to be inside Anfield to watch our amazing Reds. We should all appreciate and respect this privilege.
If you have something more important to do and leave on 80, please give your ticket to an appreciating fan.
Thank you for shutting down that nonsense waffle about Kelleher. Everyone knows he's desperate for 1st team football, week in week out. The keeper signed for next year is a couple years younger so, will most likely be content enough to be rotated, 2nd choice for a couple seasons behind Alisson.
I live in Leicester and didn't had the chance to see the REDS live on the stadium because of the costs involved but I'll have the 10-15 minutes who leaves early ...
My take on it is this; when we won the league (our 1 in 35!) we had 5 or 6 world xi contendors at thier peak, and the rest were brilliant, brillaint players, again, at their peak. Can you look at this squad and say were anywhere near that level? None of the current team are getting in a world xi. So difficult to see a title charge imo
Let's see: Becker, Virgil, Trent, Mac Allister, Mo are World XI contenders. You might get surprised.
@TR4zest there not at their peak though now are they? Vvd and mo deffo not. I don't think trent is as good as he was in 2020 when he was getting serious amounts of assists. Alisson maybe the only one, but id argue his best days are behind him. Macca I'd put into the second category as a very good player at his peak, world xi might be a step too far.
People didn’t stop leaving early because Klopp made some statement about how he was disappointed in them or whatever; they stayed because he played in a way that made last-minute winners more likely. I like how Slot is doing things but it’s unlikely to make people hang around for some late action when they think it’s unlikely to happen and it’s going to cost them 45 minutes travel time, or worse.
It’s too bad people get off early because you know they’re mostly season-ticket holders, the ones who’ve been complaining about a 2% price hike. It’s not a good look if you want support from the wider fanbase.
Spot on about loads of fans leaving very early I’m in the Kenny Dalglish upper and I can’t believe how many people are getting off early!!
Surely Slot must be looking around the stadium and thinking what’s going on here?
We need a extra midfielder signed in Jan tho for depth. Our depth after the 3 starters is woeful. Jones, Endo and Morton aren’t good enough
I agree. People aren’t scared anymore. It’s like they’re not accountable.
Diaz knew he carried the team in quite a few games last season and wanted a pay rise accordingly. Fsg want more goals so diaz obliged, now pay the man his rise.
None of what you wrote is based on fact, you're making stuff up
Put in an early leavers charge. To leave the ground before the final whistle you need to tap your bank card/phone out and it costs you a tenner or something. If its a rare occasion you need to get out early you can factor it in on the day and pay the extra tenner. If you do it every other week its gonna cost you an extra £180 minimum
Another bang on pod keep em coming boys
Thanks for the podcast
Also, we cannot lose at Anfield. This has to be our Wall.
Why the heck people talk about the title so early in the season. We will lose games as will the other contenders.
Agree completely Copey on the fact that some statements tell you more about the poster than the actual thing they are trying to say. I looked at the half-time match thread on Reddit the other day, and one comment mentioned only that our defence looked shaky. We were three nil up! Some people are just glass half-empty I suppose.
It’s definitely an issue people doing the early dart from 82 mins. It’s streams of people aswell not just the usual arl fellas getting off to avoid the traffic. The insane amounts of hospitality in the ground now means there’s more people in who aren’t that arsed about the result, so they’re not bothered about leaving on 82. To be honest as well leaving bang on full time Saturday, the traffic hadn’t built up so I wonder if they’re just going into the lounges? It was ridiculous the numbers coming down from the upper anny on Saturday. Me and my brother had exactly same conversation as you two on Saturday. It’s ridiculous.
No chance. We look vulnerable at home. Already lost to Notts Forest and conceded a lot of chances to Bournemouth. Once we face decent teams we'll get punished. Rodri being out might hand the title to Arsenal.
Regarding the fans leaving early, this is the loss of Jurgen causing it. Yes some still left early under him, but not this many. Upper Anfield Road, Kenny and main have been half empty long before the end in these first two games. Personally I leave right on the whistle now, when Jurgen was here I'd wait until him and the lads left the pitch. I have an uneasy feeling at the moment, a lot of fans not liking this slower style of play and we were sloppy against Bournemouth despite the scoreline. Our next few games are against better sides, it will be interesting to see whether the atmosphere picks up in the stands.
I've had to leave early to catch a flight (yes, I'm a day tripper)...sadly. Otherwise I'd 100% stay....win or lose!
According to M. Richards formally of MC when they were Shite says NO and Gary Lineker on his show.
What would you do for a tenner? Has to be a new segment.
Don't listen to Robbo, Copey. Nothing weird about not drinking tea or coffee. Great show as always lads
City is 12/1 to get relegated. Some bookies are 6/1 but most are around 10-12/1. Liverpool and Arsenill are 2000/1.
hope so gareth but unfortunately dont think we have got the squad and i think were more than capable of throwing another forest performance in especially after international breaks
We can now Rodri has no ACL 🤣
😂 no chance Liverpool can't defend
I wondered whether we went in for another big keeper due to concerns/need for protection over Alisson’s hamstring issues last year. As they obv have a lot of recovery data. Couldn’t see why else we’d have done it now.
To see Ali already out with a hamstring again… hope I’m just an idiot fan who worries and it’s not a sign it may stay a thing.
Barry Glendinning on The Guardian's Football Weekly has tipped us to win the league.
If we reinforce in Jan (we wont) then we would be in with a shout injuries permitting
Good stuff lads, even from the 'cheap' side!!
If trent was not scouse you would be fuming with him
I think so !
Or is Alison going ?
A lot of people need a piss before the end of the match before it gets busy maybe..
Some people go to game way to much that its not an honour to watch them . And cheer like its ya first or last game at anfield
Rodri situation. Didn't we get excited when he went off in final against England. Yes its a miss . But not as good as we hope. I reacted same way as u 2 . But after thought is we shouldn't expect that one player to derial whole season . Maybe haaland just because they don't have a decent bk up striker
Hahaha well in Robbo about internet lot
The media agenda is always obvious to me,
Like when they say this is a title decider, My first response,. Oh so they are both going to win at Anfield ?
I mean I'm sure Oliver will be the Ref to help ensure Liverpool don't win
Re zubimendi; too much of a risk to sign now. Hes obviously a "home bird" - and theres nothing wrong with that - but you couldnt chance spending 50m on him when he could find himself very quickly becoming unhappy.
Re alisson; he'll be gone come the end of the season. Do you really think the tightest owners in world football have spent big money on a back up keeper
Come on Robbo, lad...
...it's the hope that kills you.
The Boy's
Missed the Bournemouth game . Did Bournemouth really have 19 shots or were most of them generously described as shots. I mean a game with 38 shots would you would have expected to be a belter of a game. But nobody has really said that after the game. 19 shots conceded seems a bit worrying especially at home. But these stats these days are very dodgy in my view.
Out of that 19 shots only 6 were on target.
Credit to Bournemouth, they play good football going forward, can see them conceding quite a few goals over a season though
I love Liverpool FC to death but unless our forwards start firing we won’t be able to compete with teams like Man City, Arsenal(ars*holes). Especially Salah, Nunez and Jota have to score 1-3 goals an average in every match. We need to figure out how we will fight and score against low blocks like what happened with Forest. Our passes needs to be better, we still give away the ball often, top tier teams don’t make mistakes when they gain the ball.
Played 5 won 4 lost 1
(plus won away in Milan)
10 league goals scored 1 conceded
That's with a new manager playing a new system,
I'm happy with that
Boss
Re going early; im local and to get parked up you need to set off 2 hours before kick off and if you stay till the death its an hour and a half sat in traffic for a 7 mile drive. If you add the whole thing up its a long day away from other things in your life. The grounds getting bigger but its harder and harder to get away
We won’t win the league because we never do. We don’t win enough games of football. And on rare occasions it looks like we’re about to do it.. some sort of divine intervention appears to stop it happening. I don’t believe in god but if he is real he’s clearly a manc, who switched allegiance from United to man city about 15 years ago for his own reasons. I’ve given up thinking it’s possible. If we get 105 points this season then City or god forbid Arsenal will get 106.
i’m personally still reeling from the Forest match. Had we even got a 0-0 draw we’d be top now. It’s things like that, the crunch time sliding doors little moments we don’t ever get. big match decisions to turn the match in our favour never seem to our way either. If that was us yesterday Trossard stays on the pitch and we lose 2-1. Oliver gives us nothing, as we saw for MacAllister foul in stoppage time vs City last season. Pickford on Van Dijk too. We get nothing from him. But for City he gives the red and because of that they get a point from a match they would certainly have lost. And yeah I know a draw was perfect for us and I’m glad it finished 2-2. But it’s stuff like that why we can’t ever win it, it’s an example of one rule for us another for our rivals.
I remember getting with a new gf ages ago . One day we having a small argument. And I said the wrong name . Atleast slot klopp is close lol my x was not close to new gf name. Whoops. Muscle memory
at least you lived to tell the tale
Yay ! Woñdered where you gone
Great channel, shit title " the late challenge " ? What does that even mean.? A receñtly passed away challenge? Anyway glad ive found you again man. I love your comments about your nan. Theirs is a remarkable generation. My grandad is 96 years old and he still works with hands. Every sunday hes down the ďocks tossing off sailors. Meep up the good work, pip pip
Bongo
A late challenge is a tackle after the ball is gone
Possible the least sense I’ve ever read in a TH-cam comment and that’s saying something.
Dear Seth1455
Two things; ive oft wondered what happened to the one thousand four hundred and fifty four Seths that came before you. Secondly, as you've probably guessed i was, in the words of P.G. Wodehouse, "somewhat polluted" last eventide.
Thank you for pointing the derivation of "late challenge " .
I love you Seth1455, always have, always will. This is Bongo signing off...

Is Robbo in a better mood this week ?
Well yes as liverpool won ya dingleberry
Not easy to tell😅
Rodri out - will it be Zubimendi to City in January?
I’ll buy you a coffee if you stop the ‘super like/super chat’ gimmick and learn the proper name 😂
I find the running joke of them (mainly Robbo) still not knowing pretty funny tbh 😂
Why is every sports network ignoring Liverpool saying it’s just a two horse race even after the city v arsenal match
In early 80s. Went game against Notts County in old 1 division: atmosphere was quite back then.
Here's one for ye's lads in relation to trent he couldn't get in the England squad he was 3rd choice his fifa rating gone to his head we dont want bad eggs in our squad kicking off when subbed etc this kid was mad a millionaire has won every thing in the game because of Liverpool id say if we swapped walker for trent we would have won at least one extra title against city
No the squads too thin
To my favourite LFC blurts keep up the great work!
Here's a little thank you to both of you.....and Robbo you won't even have to inhale one of Copey's farts out of a mug for this tenner!
From a loyal LFC fan since 21st May 1977 when my life was changed for ever at the tender age of 8 - I saw the dejected players sitting on the pitch and something inside me just clicked and I never looked back.
Up the Reds.

@@charlespenny5106 Thank you mate 🙏🏼
Back when I used to go the match on the train, if it was a night match I'd have to leave ten minutes early because Kirkdale wasn't an option and you had to go to Lime Street. If I stayed till the end of the match I'd end up stranded on Manchester train station and have to pay an arm and a leg for a taxi home to Bolton. Leaving ten minutes early meant I got home as normal. But I only did it for night matches.
Sorry for the question lads, did you both leave The Anfield Wrap? If yes, why?????
