The Liverpool Way Podcast

Chris Bascombe from the Telegraph joins Numbers and Dave to preview the weekend's clash at Old Trafford. Neither side has impressed so far and both appear to be struggling to establish an identity. Is it all about the result or do we need a performance too? Will Rodgers select an extra forward to provide more support to Benteke? Is this Firmino's time to shine? All this and more are covered, give it a listen and let us know what you think.

Back down to earth with a bump then. Numbers and Dave analyse what went wrong against West Ham after the Reds served up a real stinker that completely undid all the good work of the previous three games. Was Coutinho's sending off deserved? What was Lovren playing at? Why was Benteke so completely isolated and what on earth was Rodgers doing with those formation changes again? All this and more are covered.

After two weeks at the top Jose Mourinho has lost his crown to an arch enemy who has been running his mouth about matters that don't concern him. The 'Special Whopper' didn't go down without a fight though, and features alongside his club captain and a Manchester United youngster who can't stay on his feet. Listen now to find out who has temporarily knocked Jose off his perch.

Numbers and Dave Usher discuss the main talking points from the Reds' creditable draw at the Emirates. 18 year old Joe Gomez caught the eye with an assured display at left back, Emre Can and James Milner impressed in midfield while Phil Coutinho dazzled in the first half. All in all, a lot to feel positive about...

TLW Editor / ESPN FC writer Dave Usher joins 'Numbers' to recap the win over Bournemouth and look ahead to Monday night's visit to Arsenal. How will the Reds line up, who's the key man and how big a blow would it be if Jordan Henderson doesn't make it? All this is covered plus much more.

Jamie Carragher joins 'Numbers' and Dave Usher to discuss the Reds' opening weekend win at Stoke and looks ahead to Bournemouth on Monday. Additionally, he shares his thoughts on the Lovren / Sakho debate, the Lucas situation, what he made of Christian Benteke's debut and why he feels the club not signing a holding midfield player could cause a problem in the weeks and months to come.

Arsenal and Manchester United new boys feature prominently alongside full backs from Spurs and Liverpool this week, but will any of them be able to wrestle the award from football’s biggest whopper, last seen harassing his poor physio on a Stamford Bridge touchline? Listen to our newest feature “Whopper of the Week” to find out.

Your host Numbers is joined by TLW Editor and ESPN FC columnist Dave Usher to break down the Reds scrappy but morale boosting win at the Britannia. There's praise for the much maligned Dejan Lovren, concerns about the amount of long balls played while the lads also discuss the difference made when Emre Can was introduced as a third midfielder to free up James Milner and Jordan Henderson.

Ahead of the big kick off this weekend former Reds' striker and long time friend of the podcast Neil Mellor joins TLW Editor Dave Usher and 'Numbers' to preview the clash at the Britannia. Neil gives us a professionals take on how the players are likely to have reacted to the 6-1 humiliation last season and who his preferred partner for Martin Skrtel would be. He also shares his thoughts on the coaching changes and explains why he believes the Reds are in a three way battle to claim the 3rd and 4th spots in this year's Premier League. 

We're back! Your host 'Numbers' is joined by long time fanzine contributor Paul Natton and TLW Editor / ESPN FC columnist Dave Usher for an hour long special to discuss a busy summer. There's much to get through including some encouraging pre-season performances, early impressions of the new signings and the lads have their say on the Lovren / Sakho selection issue as well as Raheem Sterling's departure. Plus, find out why Dave believes the Redmen can bounce back from a dismal season last time out to gatecrash the top four this year and which of the current squad Paul has rather cruelly labelled "the Euro Downing".

Your host 'Numbers' is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher and long time fanzine writer Paul Natton in a feature length episode of the show to discuss the recent transfer activity (or lack of), the Suarez saga and to preview the opening day clash against Stoke City.

It's been a busy summer already with a couple of signings completed and others close to being finalised.  Your host 'Numbers' is joined once again by Dave Usher and Stu Montagu to discuss potential ins and outs, where the squad needs strengthening and of course, the Luis Suarez situation.

It's been several weeks since the last show and there's a lot to cover.  TLW Editor Dave Usher and long time fanzine contributor Stu Montagu join your host 'Numbers' to talk Suarez, Sturridge and Coutinho, and break down the games against Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton and Fulham.

With no first team games this week we took the opportunity to focus on youth development.  We've got an interview with current U18 skipper Jordan Lussey as well as contributions from Academy boss Frank McParland, head of Academy coaching Rodolfo Borrell and U21 coach Alex Inglethorpe, whilst former Reds striker Neil Mellor joins TLW Editor Dave Usher and your host 'Numbers' to discuss in detail the difficulties of bringing players through the system.  Some great discussion in this one.

Former Reds' midfielder David Thompson checks in to discuss his career, his relationship with Gerard Houllier, scrapping with David Hopkin and why he feels Jamie Carragher should rethink his decision to retire.  Then in the second part of the show Dave Usher and Paul Natton join 'Numbers' to discuss Wigan, Spurs and Southampton.
