Thiago returns and guess what happens? S4 E11

Welcome to the latest edition of First State Kopites – a podcast for Liverpool supporters in Delaware and friends of those Liverpool supporters.

It’s episode 11 of our 4th season. I’m Paul and I am joined by Haitham and Sean.

Part 1 - win over Ajax

• Seems fitting that after one of worst European results, we come back against the team that inflicted the worst - a 5-1 away in December 1966 in Amsterdam.


• Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota, Joel Matip, Kostas Tsimikas


• Salah - more in the game, Why?

Part 2 - look ahead:

• International break watch - Andy Robertson less Scotland beat Ukraine 3-0, makes you wonder about the impact of the previous season on Ukraine 2-1 win in the World Cup playoffs.


• Injury situation - Jordan Henderson! Arthur?


• Brighton at home to come with a new hipster manager De Zerbi - previously from Shakhtar Donetsk and Sassuolo.

Part 3 - elsewhere

• Leicester against Tottenham Hotspur


• Graham Potter and the new Chelsea


• US National Team - How far is Pulisic down the list?


• Liverpool Women 2 - Chelsea Women 1

We’ll be back in 2 weeks after Liverpool have played Brighton. Thanks to Haitham and Sean.
