This is the Agenda Podcast on the Blood Red channel, taking a bite-size look at some of the big

Liverpool FC talking points.

Hello everyone and welcome along to another edition of the Agenda Podcast on the Blood Red

channel with myself Patrick Smith.

We've got something a little bit different for you today.

We're going to be transitioning from football

reporters to teachers today as we're handing out the midterm or mid-season in

this instance reports for Liverpool squad as we're basically halfway through the

season I feel it's the right time to give out some

ratings. Well joining me to provide these markings we've got a Lippel Echo

dynamic duo. Firstly we've got Keith McDonald's Kiefer you're going to be

good cop or bad cop today with these gradings?

There be a few generous ones, but I think given the start of the season

that Liverpool had, there might be a few

that are a bit underwhelming and maybe people

can be doing better in the second half of the season.

Might need a bit of self-reflection during the World Cup break and maybe achieve those target

grades come May.

Yeah, maybe things will change from.

Also joined by Rich Garnett, Rich, you seem like somebody wouldn't shy away from giving a

look for player some stern words in a parent's evening or have I got that one wrong?

No, you're absolutely right. I'm going to play the role of the bitter old teacher who doesn't mind a paint at lunchtime and has been in the role for far too long.
