PODCAST: Liverpool 2 Watford 0 - Match Reaction

[tlw content]

The Reds briefly went to the top of the table after an uninspiring but largely stress free win over Roy Hodgson's Watford. It wasn't pretty but a 12.30 kick off following an international break is rarely conducive to flowing football so goals from Jota and Fabinho were just what the doctor ordered.

 

Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and Paul Natton to pick through the bones of this one and look ahead to Benfica in midweek as well as casting an eye towards the huge fixture next weekend at the Etihad.

Brilliant listen!

Really good. 

 

Paul was kissing City's arse a little too much for my liking though. Needs to grow a pair.

[suzy]

Really enjoyed that.

[The Midnight Rambler]

Top quality stuff. Like a pint of Carling extra cold. Jules spittin’ rhymes. Totally agree with Paul about Firmino. Thought he looked prime Bobby first half.

Negged by accident, I haven't even heard this yet!

The image itself is worth negging.

No probs, when you hear it just go and neg two of Paul's posts to redress the balance.

Excellent lads.

 

Confession time, I'm taking Chris's offer. It's not about anything other than correcting the wrongs from our last title. These players and management team deserve to celebrate with the fans, if guaranteeing that means writing off the CL I'll sign for that.

[KMD7]

Very enjoyable lads.

I'm not, because as I understood the question that would mean us losing to City in the final and I can't be doing with that at all. 

 

If the offer was us winning the title but losing to Bayern in the semi and they went on to win the final, I might at least consider that (before rejecting it and just seeing how the dominoes fall). Losing to City in a Champions `league final though would be worse than missing out on the title to them.

In all walks of life I'm usually a roll the dice type. I'm never like this and can't understand why I would even consider it. I guess I'm approaching this from the point of view that City aren't real anyway, anything they win is meh.

[RedHeadedRed]

I wouldn't take it either because don't forget city are supposed to be banned from the champions league this year and last year and the only reason they aren't is because they have more expensive lawyers than Uefa. 

[Chris]

I was quite taken aback by how seriously Jules and Paul took the question. They were like Will Ferrell in Old School during the debate team scene. 

 

"I... I don't have a response, that was perfect"

 

 

[Vincent Vega]

Good listen as always lads.
 

You’ve done a great job of looking after the podcasts and match reports whilst Dave has been away dealing with his loss.
