PODCAST: Liverpool 3 Bournemouth 1 - Match Reaction & Wataru Endo Signing Chat

[tlw content]

Goals from Luis Diaz, Mo Salah and Diogo Jota helped the Reds overcome a ropey start and a disgraceful refereeing decision that saw Alexis Mac Allister sent off on his home debut against Bournemouth.

 

TLW Editor Dave Usher and Paul Natton hotfooted it back from Anfield to record this chat about the game, the sensational performance from Dom Szoboszlai and last week's surprise signing of Japan captain Wataru Endo.

Loved Paul's speech about how much Jürgen keeps proving us wrong and seems like he knows his onions.

Bit skeptical on Dave talking about Mo's fashion sense. Do you wanna see Mo turning up dressed in beige on Monday morning? 

 

I think the two yellow cards that Tim Ream got today probably trump the Macca red. Absolute shit show.

Clearly this is someone who can't have seen the video and what Mo was wearing. Beige would be an enormous improvement. And us cool kids call it 'tan' by the way, and refer to ourselves as 'tanimals' when we wear it.

Good stuff lads. Couple of points, there was no way Endo was ready to play. Forget about fitness, the drama of the last 2 days would have been exhausting for him, his flight was being tracked around midnight on Thursday (I think), no way he was able to start.

 

Second thing, I felt when Paul said he trusted in Klopp getting this system to work that he didn't really believe what he was saying. This was confirmed to me when he said he didn't want us to play it next week. I may end up looking like a twat but I never want to see it again. It's reckless for the team we have, Jota gave the ball away from a heavy touch before they even scored and that lead to a good opportunity. Then we have the goal and the Alisson's fuck up, all within 9 minutes. If Trent is at right back Ali has 2 simple passes, with no Trent he's over complicating things. It's as simple as the risks far outweigh the rewards. 

[Paul]

I think my hesitancy is not because I don’t think he’ll do it, but rather that I think it will take time. Maybe the entire season just to get it functioning as intended - and then we’ll need to learn to be dominant with it after that.
 

I also feel that the systemic issues within the club that we discussed are a real barrier. He’s still not got the players he needs to establish a new system while winning.

Everything you say there makes sense and I was on the brink of saying something similar earlier in the week. There's a big part of me just wants us to go back to 4-3-3 and I'm just suspending my disbelief for now because I have to think Klopp knows what he's doing and can make it work. Like Paul though, I don't think it will happen that quickly and we'll be vulnerable for a good while yet.

Really good listen that , with doing deliveries the whole thing lasted nearly 3 hours for me , @dave u when you said Webb was biased I don't disagree by the way would you say that is the same as being corrupt ? .

Corrupt would suggest doing it because he's gaining from it in some way via a third-party. Rather than just doing so because he's an untouchable, irredeemable, smug cunt who revels in the power he wields. Like most coppers.

[Planet Origi]

Great listen, but I'm not having Trent being the most talented player in the squad and the team needing to be built around him.

I think that's the biggest problem we've got at the moment and one of the main causes of our decline last season, his apathy towards playing at right back and defending in general like it's beneath him.

..and most Premier League referees.

Wasn’t the same this week without a Monty voice note. 

 

On a serious note, couldn’t disagree with much that both Paul and Dave said. 
 

I’m not getting too excited about Szoboszlai just yet. 
 

Well, not until next week. The dreamy bastard.
