This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network.

It is the Anfield Rapids, Neil Atkinson, with Ian Ryan,

Jay McKenna and Phil Blundell.

We are recording this on the Sunday, immediately after Liverpool's results against Chelsea a one one draw not a bad

result but in the context of the match with them going down to 10 men that is a thing also

the other reason why I've said we're doing this on the Sunday is that we will have a

chat about transfers on this if something breaks in between when we record

this and when it goes out you understand the context at least of that conversation

I'm a little bit of a chat about the ongoing minor issues with people trying to get in and out to the ground.

All of that is to come, but we will start off with Liverpool 1, Chelsea 1, and Ian, before the game, a few Liverpool supporters I think might have took a draw just get out of it first one tough one etc I wouldn't have but I understand those who would

it becomes harder not to think of it as two points drop because they go down to ten.

100% it's context isn't it? So when you see the decision to send off James you think well live below all the cards here but it kind of plays into Chelsea's

hands in terms of they're able to put everyone behind a ball and make it really

really difficult and you can have a conversation about you know if it was it was 11 v 11, what would have happened, we'll never know.

But they made it really difficult, but they're a good side, Neil.

And I think, I was I like to think about it before coming in in terms of things that too shul's done.

And look at at two to the performances yesterday of

to a Chelsea's players and actually going to be further back as well into kind of

last season but he's made people like Anthony Rudiger, not necessarily that the liability that he could be every

now and there.

So I always thought with Rudiger, he's two good games in Threner do something mad in the third game.

He seems to have gotten really, really concentrated, really focused to the point where now he looks like a top-level defender. I thought he was really good yesterday.
