| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the TFA football podcast. I am Joe Devine and today I was joined by Alex Stewart. The content of today's episode revolves around Liverpool. We released a video on the channel just on the YouTube channel just yesterday about Liverpool's pressing, whether they're pressing |
| 0:20.8 | more or less, there seem to be some, what seems statistically unusual public perceptions |
| 0:26.9 | or supportive perceptions around Liverpool's pressing. So we attempt to try and clean that up. |
| 0:31.1 | Talk about that in this episode. Talk about what Liverpool are doing differently and their |
| 0:35.4 | chances and a few of the individual players, etc. I would also like to say that this episode is supported by The Athletic, which is |

| 1:38.6 | Okay, Alex, we are talking about Liverpool. |

| 1:45.8 | that we released on the channel yesterday, if you're listening on Day of Release, i.e. Monday, |
| 1:51.6 | the 4th of November, 2019, about Liverpool's pressing. Now, we talked about this beforehand, |
| 1:59.6 | and what interested us both was the idea that there is a |
| 2:03.9 | perception amongst supporters and amongst some pundits that Liverpool are pressing a lot less |
| 2:09.9 | than they used to. We thought maybe this was a legacy impression based on their performances last |
