With another couple of Liverpool wins on the board since the last episode, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid have plenty to discuss about the top of the table Reds, also including news that ticket prices are going up, signing of the season Alexis Mac Allister and the upcoming trip to Old Trafford. The Argentine midfielder had a huge influence including an assist in the win over his old club Brighton, before shaking the Kop with arguably the goal of the season to put the Reds back in front against Sheffield United. But as Jay and Jim discuss, the assist and the goal were obviously standout moments, but he brings so much more than that – those early season worries about him being played out of position are long since forgotten, he excels wherever he plays. Up next is a trip to play one of the main enemies, and with Klopp being asked for his thoughts on the tragedy chanting that shamed Manchester United fans last time we went there – he had some advice on what all fans can do to stop this stain on the game – it remains to be seen if the broadcaster covering it will call it out if it happens again. They didn’t last time. With so much riding on it for Liverpool, and pride at stake for the other lot, it’s clear the hype for this trip to Old Trafford will be huge. Not that it needs to be, this game hypes itself, but as Jim and Jay point out, the Reds need to handle the occasion the right way, a way they know how. Just like they know how to react the right way if the ref decides to support his local team. This week: • LFC 2 Brighton 1 • LFC 3 Sheff Utd 1 • Top of the league • Alexis Mac Allister • Big number to wear • Big name to wear too! • So many players who’ve played a part in this frenetic campaign • Kelleher played as many games as Ali? • Coming back after conceding again • And again • Ticket price increases • Pros and cons • Understandable in some ways? • Is it down to LFC alone to fix the astronomical cost of being a fan? • Every time the prices go up more fans get pushed away • Talking of expensive, Everton still being Everton • Paying the price – literally - for always blaming the wrong people • Finances sound even worse than some experts predicted • Next up: a trip to Old Trafford • Will there be more tragedy chanting or will they show the class Klopp suggested they should? • Always a massive game regardless of the league table • Often a game that bears no resemblance to current form • How Liverpool should approach it – not complicated Learn more about your ad choices.
