Your direct link isn’t working there, lads.
There are two h’s at the start mate, just delete one and it should work!

I missed the game Saturday due to walking the Pembrokeshire coast. Had no phone or internet so I’m relying on MOTD2 highlights but more so this podcast for an insight into how the game went.
I was ecstatic when I heard the result but listening to this it sounded very similar to the Stoke game. If so, it’s difficult to understand so early in the season whether holding on was a master stroke or a bit lucky. My personal opinion is it’s too dodgy trying to hold onto a 1-0 lead as it’ll cost us time and time again. As yet though, it’s hard to be critical of the policy. There’ll be plenty of time for that very shortly.
Regarding transfers, I can understand we have a new policy (one which I respect) but with the new TV money alongside the good work that’s been done in balancing the books I wasn’t expecting a £-5m net spend for the summer. Again though, I suppose the answers as to whether we’re very smart or unambitious will be revealed come May. Again, I think the reality is somewhere down the middle.
Please change that picture of Diego Costa, it’s really starting to get on my nerves, especially as we didn’t get him.
Play Kelly Centre Back, move Agger to defensive midfield. Moving Agger forward allows him to defend higher up where he’s less of a liability and allows for someone with strength to play alongside Toure. Suddenly the team looks a lot better. Lucas can have a long deserved rest. Up front should be fine when Suarez returns alongside Couthino and Sturridge.
We have won our games this season by playing BR preferred tiki-taka type of system, where all chances created have to the perfect pass to score, unless we have individual brilliance or an error. The problem with this system is we always allow opposition defenders, time to regain their default positions, fill any gaps and just wait for us to pass the ball backward or side wards . We need to go back to last seasons style of play, where we were scoring goals for fun because balls are played into dangerous attacking areas with men attacking the space. I want Liverpool to play more like Brazil rather than Spain or just mix the play up a bit more!!
Gutted about KT injury tonight.
TD
How much do you think it would take to pry Juan Mata away from Chelsea?
I have been having wet dreams of a 4-4-2 with Coutinio, Mata, Sturridge, and Suarez wreaking havoc up front — they all can drift in and out with ease. It would be a nightmare for any defense …Gerrard setting deep and slicing things up with crisp long balls and well timed runs, Lucas holding …am I crazy?
Unfortunately, it sounds like you are mate.
No one chose “Traffic” :(
I find the understanding of a bigger squad for this season quite amusing – Toure for Carragher/ Alberto for Shelvey / Mignolet for Pepe / Aspas for Downing…and Cissokho. I absolutely agree with your comments about the Gerrard/Lucas line of midfield. There is absolutely no one to cover them. And I thought all lfc supporters saw last season that Johnson is sadly not even a 30 game regular (taking in mind Rodgers system, aren’t fullbacks and the def midfielder the most important positions?)…I am NOT bitching!!! Let’s be clear on that. I just don’t see any logic in the transfer window’s dealings at all! Bring on the Mancs! YNWA… PS If you can’t make the starting 11 against Notts County, you can’t sit on the LFC bench…sadly for me (because I actually like him), Rodgers will pull an Assaidi on Borini’s ass
