The Liverpool Way Podcasts

How do you sum that up? The Reds have had their unbeaten record stolen after some questionable decisions by the officials plus one that may well be the biggest 'mistake' ever seen on a top flight football pitch in this country. Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Julian Richards to dissect an unbelievable game in North London in which the Reds …

Another game, another 3-1. Four in a row now, although this one should have been much more as the Reds created countless opportunities that they didn't take. The three they did take through Gakpo, Szoboszlai and Jota were enough to ensure comfortable passage into the next round and set up a date with Bournemouth. Chris Smith is joined by Stu Montag…

The Reds are up to second in the table after an impressive display to see off a good West Ham side at Anfield. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards, John Gallagher and Dan Thomas as the lads reflect on an enjoyable afternoon at Anfield and look ahead to the midweek cup game against Leicester.…

Once again the Reds fell behind early and once again they came back to win 3-1 as a Darwin Nunez penalty was followed up by lovely goals from Luis Diaz and Mo Salah to ensure the tournament favourites got off to a winning start. Just like Jurgen Klopp we've shuffled our pack for the Europa League. Regular starters Chris Smith and Dave Usher are joi…

The Reds overcame a one goal deficit and a nightmare first half showing to come roaring back after the break to claim all three points at Wolves. TLW Editor Dave Usher was joined by Ian Brown and Julian Richards shortly after full time to reflect on a classic "game of two halves" that sent Klopp's side to the top of the tale, albeit only for a coup…

The international break gives the lads a chance to look at how Klopp 2.0 is shaping up and whether the sequel can top the blockbuster original, we'll analyse THAT Jordan Horrenderson interview and preview the Wolves game on Saturday. Chris Smith is joined by Dave Usher and Paul Natton to take some listener questions on the heartbreaking Liverpool g…

The Reds made it 10 points from 12 with an impressively dominant display to see off Aston Villa at Anfield and head into the international break just two points off top spot. Chris Smith is joined by Paul Natton and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on a highly enjoyable afternoon in which all areas of the side functioned superbly. Other subjects …

Darwin Nunez came off the bench late on and produced two stunning finishes to give the Reds the most dramatic and unlikely of victories at St James after a wild game packed with incident. Chris Smith is joined by Paul Natton, John Gallagher and TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss one of the most dramatic games of the Klopp era. Lots to get through inc…

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 Szoboszl…

The season is officially underway and yet again we've drawn with Chelsea. A bright start saw us take the lead with a lovely Luis Diaz goal but sloppy defending from a set-piece let Chelsea back into it and the longer the game went the less likely the Reds looked like winning. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined for this one by Ian Brown and Julian Rich…

Another new season is upon us after a summer of change. Not enough change for many though, as we head into the opening game at Stamford Bridge having made just two signings while seeing six senior squad members depart. Chris Smith is joined by Ian Brown, Dan Thomas and TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss the transfer business - or lack of - as well as…

The captain has deserted the ship. Jordan Henderson is no longer a Red after ending his stellar 12 year stay at Anfield in ignominious fashion by joining Steven Gerrard at *checks notes* Al Ettifaq. Hendo's former number one fan Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards, Stu Montagu and TLW Editor Dave Usher as the lads share their thoughts on a mov…

The Reds have completed their second signing of the summer as exciting Hungarian Dominik Szoboszlai became the latest player to join from RB Leipzig. Chris Smith is joined by Stu Montagu and TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss all things Szoboszlai. Where will he play, what does he bring to the team, who comes in next, who leaves? Plus the usual nonse…

The first signing of the summer has been made as World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister has arrived from Brighton for what appears to be a bargain fee. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Ian Brown to talk about the new man, where he will fit in, how his arrival might impact on the current squad and what it might mean in terms of other…

A fitting way to end a season of disappointment, as despite leading 2-0 the Reds were held to a 4-4 by an already relegated Southampton side. Jota scored twice, Gakpo also found the net and Bobby signed off with a goal on his farewell appearance, but defensively it was a horror show and Kelleher didn't make the most of a rare starting opportunity i…

Not what we were hoping for from the final home game. Bobby got a goal on his Anfield farewell but hopes of a top four finish are dead in the water after Villa pooped the party with some horrendous shithousing, ably assisted by a referee with a score to settle. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Paul Natton to reflect on a massi…

A win made in the Academy as Curtis and Trent bagged the goals to keep the Reds winning run going and maintain the pressure on the teams above. Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on a good night's work for the lads and to discuss the ramifications of the result at both ends of the table.…

A second 1-0 home win this week as once again the Reds edged over the line thanks to a Mo Salah strike, this one being his 100th at Anfield. Chris Smith is joined by John Gallagher and TLW Editor Dave Usher to talk about an eventful evening in L4. Salah breaking more records, the defence standing tall against a set-piece bombardment, the vociferous…

Five wins on the bounce but once again it was hardly convincing. Mo Salah won it with a first half penalty but then very little happened. Still, a win is a win and we've not had anywhere enough of those this season. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Dan Thomas for a light hearted, early morning chat about the previous night's event…

One of the wildest games in many a year, as the Reds raced out to a 3-0 lead inside 15 minutes but then lost their way and were eventually pegged back by a last minute equaliser, only for Diogo Jota to dramatically win it seconds later. Stu Montagu and Paul Natton join TLW Editor Dave Usher to try to make sense of a thoroughly insane 90 minutes at …

A decent performance, another three points and a second consecutive away win for the Reds. Things are looking up at long last. Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on a satisfactory night's work for the lads and to also take a look at the rest of the Premier League action. Are Everton about to finally be f…

It wasn't pretty but it was three points. Another double for the resurgent Jota and a winner from Salah, but there wasn't much else to like about this. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Paul Natton to reflect on an unconvincing display from the Reds, but given how little there was to discuss from the game the conversation broade…

Six of the best from the Reds as the lads finally managed to find their shooting boots away from home. Jota's goal drought is over, Salah, Gakpo and Nunez also found the net and Trent impressed again in his new role. Chris Smith is joined by Ian Brown and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on a satisfactory evening, while also reflecting on a far f…

The power of Anfield was in evidence once again as the Reds came roaring back from 2-0 to earn a point against the league leaders, and with a bit more luck could easily have won the game. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Paul Natton to reflect on a highly entertaining, incident packed afternoon at Anfield. Lots to unpack from …

At least we didn't lose. Another depressing away day though in which the attack rarely threatened and the defence had Chelsea's profligacy in front of goal to thank for a rather unconvincing clean sheet. Chris Smith talks this one through with Dan Thomas and TLW Editor Dave Usher.Από τον The Liverpool Way

Another miserable away day, a third consecutive loss and a pitiful second half capitulation. It had all started so well too as Mo Salah gave us the lead. After that? Urgh. TLW Editor Dave Usher and John Gallagher drew the short straws for this one.Από τον The Liverpool Way

The boys are back with what was supposed to be a preview of the weekend's game with City but ended up being something else entirely. Chris Smith, Ian Brown and TLW Editor Dave Usher got through a wide ranging list of topics include Jude Bellingham's future and Van Basten & Gullit's drive by on Virgil. The lads also answer a selection of questions f…

The Reds went out with barely a whimper as Real Madrid cruised along in second gear and went through by a four goal margin on aggregate. Chris Smith and TLW Editor Dave Usher look back on a disheartening night and deal with the major talking points from the game, like why was Darwin subbed, what was up with Trent, why were our corners so shite and …

From seventh heaven to the depths of despair. If anything sums up this weird season it's getting beat by a team we'd beaten 9-0 earlier in the season, just a week after we'd beaten United 7-0. How do you make sense of that? Chris Smith, John Gallagher and TLW Editor Dave Usher do their best to process what just happened and where we go from here.…

What a result. What a performance. Our biggest ever win against United and the biggest sign yet that the team are finally coming back to form. A clean sheet, seven goals from the forwards and an afternoon that we'll never forget. Paul Natton and Ian Brown join TLW Editor Dave Usher to try to make sense of what we just witnessed. Sit back, get comfo…

Three points, two goals and a clean sheet. Not a bad night's work for the Reds who overcame Wolves to move to the dizzy heights of sixth in the table thanks to a late flurry in the second half Chris Smith is joined by Paul Natton and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on a decent evening at Anfield and to look ahead to a huge clash against United on …

It was an uneventful, uninspiring night under the lights at Selhurst Park as the Reds were held to a 0-0 draw by Palace. The result itself isn't too bad but it's hard to feel anything other than disappointed by the nature of the performance. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and John Gallagher to talk this one over and look ahead t…

A massively chastening experience for the Reds as a dream start quickly turned into a living nightmare. 2-0 up and flying, but then goal after goal went in at the other end as the last chance of a trophy this season went up in smoke. Chris Smith was joined shortly after the final whistle by Stu Montagu and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on one …

Back to back wins and the top four is suddenly a realistic target again. Great goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo gave the Reds a dream start and although they failed to add further goals, despite the home side playing for over an hour with ten men, the three points keeps the momentum going following the derby win last week. TLW Editor Dave Ush…

Well that's more like it. A win, a good performance, Mo back in the goals, Gakpo off the mark and Everton still in the bottom three. All in all a good night's work for the Reds. Chris Smith is joined by Paul Natton and TLW Editor Dave Usher to bask in the glow of yet another Anfield derby win and a vastly improved performance. It's too soon to ask …

Another abysmal away day for the Reds. Three goals conceded for the third Premier League away fixture in a row and a third blank in four games for the attackers. Just miserable stuff. TLW Editor Dave Usher and Julian Richards conduct the post-mortem and look ahead with some trepidation to the next fixture - a home derby against a re-invigorated Eve…

The defence of the FA Cup came to an end with a massive late kick in the nuts. The performance was vastly improved on the last time the Reds played at the Amex Stadium but the result hurt just the same. Chris Smith was joined by Julian Richards and Ian Brown right on the final whistle to share their immediate thoughts on the latest setback in a sea…

Two very average teams produced a very average game on a freezing cold day at Anfield. There's not too much more to say about that but somehow we managed to get over an hour's worth of content out of it for you. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Dan Thomas to look back on this and look forward to next week's rematch with Brighto…

Harvey Elliott's brilliant strike was enough to sink Wolves and keep the Reds defence of the FA Cup alive. A much changed line up produced a competent, diligent display to keep the hosts quiet and set up a quick return trip to Brighton. Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and Dave Usher for a fun look back on what was a night full of positives…

Many fans feel this was the worst display since Klopp has been at the club, while the man himself described it as the worst he's seen at any club he's managed. It was bad. Really bad. So what now? Can we rally and still salvage something from the season or are these problems terminal? TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Ian Brown to …

Another disappointing display means the Reds will have to win a replay at Molineux if they are to keep their hopes of retaining the trophy alive. Chris Smith and Dave Usher reflect on a poor performance in which Liverpool's strongest available line up needed a contentious late VAR decision to avoid being dumped out by a heavily rotated Wolves side.…

Calamitous in defence and sterile in attack. 2023 got off to a miserable start for the Reds as they were deservedly beaten by Brentford and missed the chance to leapfrog Spurs in the race for a top four spot. TLW Editor Dave Usher tries to make sense of it with John Gallagher and Julian Richards. So much for 'Happy New Year'.…

It was far from convincing but it's three more points. The Reds gave away yet another early goal and needed a helping hand from Leicester defender Wout Faes who chipped in with two own goals to secure the points for Kloppo's boys. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Ian Brown and Stu Montagu to look back on a disappointing and somewhat worrying disp…

The Reds had to withstand a second half fightback from the home side but stood firm to record an important win at Villa Park thanks to goals by Mo Salah, Virgil Van Dijk and a first for young Stefan Bajcetic. Fresh from his sick bed, Chris Smith is joined by Paul Natton and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on a satisfying evening in the Midlands,…

Proper footy is back but little seems to have changed over the break. Sloppy goals conceded, more injuries and a disappointing loss. It's like we haven't been away at all. The defence of the League Cup is over after a 3-2 defeat at Man City that was as frustrating as it was entertaining. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Ian Br…

We're back after a few weeks off and there's a fair bit to catch up on. Seven Reds went to the World Cup and six are still there. Or maybe it is still seven? It appears that there have been significant developments on the Jude Bellingham front with reliable sources in Germany claiming the teenager favours a move to the Reds, while we've all seen wi…

A double from Darwin and a header from the impressive Bobby Firmino ensured the Reds went into the World Cup break on a winning note. The first half was excellent, the second half not so much but the three points are most welcome. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Julian Richards to review the game and look ahead to what might p…

Penalty shootout king Caoimhin Kelleher came to the Reds rescue again with three spot kick saves to ensure Jurgen Klopp's much changed side squeaked through to the next round of the Carabao Cup after the 90 minutes ended goalless. There wasn't a great deal to talk about from the game but thankfully there was the Champions League draw and the latest…

Two lovely finishes from Mo and a dogged second half defensive display saw the Reds bounce back from successive Premier League defeats to pick up a much needed win at a weakened Spurs. Paul Natton and John Gallagher join TLW Editor Dave Usher to pick through the bones of a weird performance by Kloppo's boys in which they looked like they might run …

Another goal for Darwin, another record for Mo and a good solid 2-0 win for the Reds to avenge their defeat in the opening match of the group. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Terry McDonald for a long and meandering chat that didn't really focus a great deal on what was a fairly low key, one might even say dull game overall. …
