Summary
You know Keith Costigan from FOX, perhaps for his Bundesliga and Seattle Sounders coverage. But Keith is also a Liverpool fan and expert, and it was a pleasure to discuss all things LFC with him.
We go into detail on why Liverpool have gone so long without a Premier League title, why that might be about to change, and how Liverpool will handle three strikers who just played summer their second summer tournament in a row.
We also get super-detailed about the current iteration of Klopp's pressing system. It's no longer so all-out heavy metal, but something more controlled, possibly more effective, and certainly more sustainable.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the total soccer show. My name is Daryl Grove. |
| 0:21.9 | I am alone in studio. |
| 0:23.9 | Taylor's still at the beach. |
| 0:26.1 | But today's guest is Keith Costigan. |
| 0:29.7 | Keith Costigan, you should know from his work on Fox Sports. |
| 0:33.1 | You'll either have heard him doing some excellent commentary or you've seen him in studio. Keith is one of our |
| 0:38.9 | favourite soccer people because he's someone who knows how to watch and analyze and then explain |
| 0:45.1 | what is happening in a game. So he's a great person to talk about Liverpool. He's also a Liverpool |
| 0:50.3 | fan. He's a journalist who's got quite connected with the club, so he's got a nice view of the inside. So on today's show, I asked Keith to essentially talk about Liverpool's |
| 1:00.3 | upcoming, we assume, title challenge and to really explain how Joggen Klopp sets up his team and how |
| 1:07.4 | Liverpool go about their business. I think it's a really good interview. |
| 1:12.3 | I think you'll really enjoy it. |
| 1:16.0 | Keith is talking to me from his car while driving, |

| 1:29.4 | So joining me from the road, it's Keith Custigan. |
| 1:33.3 | Hello, Keith. You are behind the wheel. Is that right? I am behind the wheel. I'm hopefully driving my way to a Premier League title for Liverpool this year. |
| 1:37.6 | Is your driving involved in the title race? Does that mean you're going too fast? |
| 1:42.0 | Heavy metal driving? I'm in LA. I see. There's no heavy metal driving in LA, yeah. So I do want to ask you, I know you're based in L.A. Mostly because of your work for Fox, right? Before we talk Liverpool, I'm interested in what you're working on right now. Like, what's the next game you'll be commentating on or next thing you'll be presenting? |
| 2:01.8 | Yeah, well, I just came off doing the German Super Cup at the weekend and some MLS with Seattle. |
| 2:07.5 | This weekend, I'll be on Seattle and New England, and then the following weekend is when everything |
