Hey everyone, welcome to Redmond TV.

This is the build-up show Liverpool, taking the trip down south to play Brighton at lunchtime on Saturday,

because why not?

Why not put us at Saturday lunchtime after playing on Wednesday?

You can't wait for that one.

I'm Steeho.

I am joined by Sam Walker and by Dan Club to preview the game.

Thank you very much indeed, gents, for coming in.

Yeah, it's straight off the bat,

Sam, before I even speak about Brighton, this kickoff time, Arnest Lott just kind of mentioned

the day. He said everyone else who played in Europe is playing on Sunday, Le Poole, Wednesday,

into Saturday morning. And I understand it is what it is but before we even look

at the Brighton team like I said they've got a massive advantage yeah they they've played twice since they last kick the ball and it's a turnaround and it's away from home like if you were playing a card game it would be the proverbial stack deck against you like in the pool not only of the listen they're having a bit and if he time in the primary need to put it Marley.

They're playing here against all those little advantages I've all swung Brighton's way with the kickoff time the rest advantage and the fact of that at home, etc. Oh massively, you know, these are one of those teams that get their good side to play, you know, progressive football and they get a week off every single

week bar the odd Premier League midweek game and they're, they're always ready of a weekend and

it's just another addition to the sort of let's see what social experiment we can throw

at Liverpool this week, whether it be an injury, a chaotic end to a game, or I'll tell you

what, let's start the game 60-odd hours after they just had a massive second leg of a Champions

League. I don't think it's fair. I know it's digressing a little bit, but we're talking about

canceling matches in France for when Liverpool play PSG in between. I just don't think

it's fair. I think the Premier League just they don't put these parameters in place properly. And just because we were at home on Wednesday, they still play football at the same time, just because they didn't get an hour flight back on a private jet, doesn't mean that the lads are just going to recover better to play a half-12. I think it's really unfair that we've got to go again and it makes it extremely difficult to predict or expect much, especially with the season we've had. So it's disappointing, but you've just got to go there and do what you can. That's the thing, isn't it done? I say this is the handy doubt. The rule is if you play away in Europe on the Wednesday, they won't make you the early kickoff. If you get at home, they will.

I don't know if the travel is that big a deal really, because the lads will all just keep on the plane anyway. But we are where we are, but I do think like that is something that's the better man. We are playing one of the most intense Premier League teams, but I think we know historically run and run. their high-tempo team.
