Was Brighton the nadir? S4 E19

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

It’s January 18th, and it’s episode 19 of our 4th season. welcome dear listener. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz and Justin. It’s January 18th - Reds suffered a desperately disappointing loss at Brighton last weekend , but last night recorded a nice win in the FA Cup 3rd round replay at Wolves to progress and as a reward, go back to the Amex one more time..

Part 1 - Let’s start with Brighton:

• Anything good? What was going on?


• Midfield, formation, legs, mindset
  
  
  
  • Mindset - bloody hell, 3 of 4 seasons getting 90 points, 3 UCL finals - hard to ‘go again’. And those lucky B******* at Arsenal are having it easy.
  
  
  
  

Part 2 - Victory over Wolves:

• 3 teenagers, absence of height, absence of pace
  
  
  
  • Bichatitch?
  
  
  • Pass to Keita yelled someone in our pub!
  
  
  • Daz - goalie?
  
  
  
  


• Konate, Thiago and Gakpo remained


• Keita, Milner, Gomez - all have been criticized by people on this pod


• Energy level was higher


• A decent refereeing performance - Andre Marriner?

Part 3 - Looking ahead to the weekend:

• Chelsea did win last weekend


• What formation and team would you go with?


• $400m+ on players - Kieran Maguire says it isn't as bad as it looks from an accounting perspective

And any other business:

• Miguel Delaney - Pep, Darwin


• Qatari rumors - James Pearce… partial investment


• Kaide Gordon

We should be back sometime next week after Liverpool have played Chelsea. Thanks to Justin and Daz.
