The Mighty Reds are on the march (in March) S3 E29

Welcome to the First State Kopites podcast. It’s episode 29 of season 3 - a podcast for Liverpool supporters in Delaware and friends of those Liverpool supporters. Thanks for listening on your preferred platform, we are available on ALL of them (and on YouTube).

Hi Sean, Hi Daz, it’s been a lower excitement week after the EFL Cup win - progress in the FA Cup to the last 8 and quite a challenging League game against West Ham:

The games:

Norwich - 2-1; felt too easy until Rashica scored, Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane arriving at the end had to tell Norwich that it was over.

West Ham - close in terms of xG. Watching it back, feels like we should have been comfortable in this game. Lot more reflection on:

• How unlucky West Ham were…


• How many players didn’t play as well as they could


• The deficiencies of xG - the ball that rolled around their goal line had 0.0xG


• Luis Diaz - what would a pre-season do…

Games coming up.. Inter and Brighton….

Other narratives:

• Tomkins Times - Salah foul breakdown - #onlySalah needs to play more than a game to get a foul


• Man Utd - Sean is wrong surely. Wan-Bissaka is good in the way 1980s right backs could be considered competent.


• Chelsea - is their Russian golden age over?


• Everton - Munch painting emoji

We’ll be back next week after the Brighton game. Thanks to Daz and Sean  - if you enjoyed the podcast, share it with a friend. Follow us on Twitter  - we only tweet and re-tweet from sources we think are credible
