Hello and we've

we're welcome to the latest Liverpool Blood Red podcast joining me today are our

full-time Liverpool reporter both home away James peers we've also got Neil Jones excuse

you James thank you no I don't want to start again and we've also got Neil Jones here, echo writer, extraordinary.

He's also ill, not 111, as the old joke would be.

James, we'll start with you.

We're obviously building up now to the hectic festive schedule but

You know for some reason it doesn't seem to be quite as busy as normal issue only three games

Normally there's four. Yeah, I think you know the good that Liverpool go into, I think pretty well rested after a bruising contest at Goodison.

You know, I think a decent gap between the Derby and then what will be a

a grueling six days of three games in that period and it will really test the

depth of club squad I think that was why it was, you know, so, you know, it,

a boost to everyone to see Storridge and Cham back in that squad the other night

at Goodison because the squad has looked pretty thin in the last few weeks and you know there's no

way you can get through those three games in six days with the same 11 or 12

players it's going to have to be a real squad effort.

I mean Neil you were at Goodison on Monday.

The first time we've had to have you on the pod since then.

I mean, it's been a few days since then.

What are your reflections on it?

Yeah, yeah, it was an exciting end to a very unexciting game I thought it was that was the

only way that was going to be any drama in the game the way it pannedanned out. I thought it was a deserved win for Liverpool.
