This is the analyzing Anfield Podcast on the Blood Red Channel bringing you the best tactical and statistical analysis of Liverpool FC.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode of Analyze Nampfield, your tactics and analytics podcast, courtesy of the Blood Red channel.

I'm Josh Williams and I'm joined by Mo Stewart Mo. How are you feeling mates ahead of week two of the wild cards?

I'm feeling good. I'm also feeling a little bit strange. Obviously for people who don't know I'm in America. I've

come to visit my family and I'm sitting in my mom's basement. So I'm like 9 o'clock in the morning.

So I'm excited to get to this because as I said to you just now I kind of did both lists at the same time.

So I've kind of already been willing to talk about some of these guys.

But yeah, let's get it.

Yeah, well, we appreciate the commitment that you're podcasting from across the Atlantic really.

So yeah, thanks for tuning and hopefully we can identify a

player who was just as committed as you're more.

What is it? It's probably some out there.

Yeah, but the plan this week anyway, last week we suggested five midfielders each to solve the big problem in

Liverpool's midfield departments and for those who didn't tune in the topic of the show was you can't suggest you Bellingham and you've basically got to suggest your top five of viewers in charge

This week

We're sticking with roughly the same theme, but this week the theme is wild cards as well.

So you can think a bit more outside the box, throw a few more cave balls, and that sort of thing really really but still no Bellingham and still

midfielders and that sort of thing so without further I do Mo I'll let you start once

again with oh well this is going to be quite easy because I deliberated about whether to leave him out because we mentioned last week in your list, but the number one of mine is Youssefofana. And I thought, the reason why I put it down in my wildcard list and not in my main list is because

Monico have only just lost Chirimini. So the deal itself I feel might be quite difficult to do.

I mean, his current deal only runs to 2024 but the club do we have an option and I suspect that between now and the end of the

summer they will be looking to make him sign an extension but in terms of qualities he is I think he's fantastic I mean he's not got as much going forward as you
