Finally, we look at how we should be processing the current Scotland team captain and his team's performance. Lots of great perspective on how we should look at this - let's take a

It's February 13th, Liverpool played really well for 75 minutes at Leicester today and then all sorts of unfavorable things happened to the Champions. We are excited to have original podcasters Charlie and Tim join us again with Daz and Paul to help us come to terms with the Reds recent form, reviewing the Leicester game, and the a deeper dive into what's going with the Reds.

#FirstStateKopites on February 7th, 2021 after the Reds have lost 2 games at home in a week. This was unimaginable 6 months ago, but the setbacks have gradually started to have their impact - the injuries (no VVD for 26 games now), the absence of fans and the weird decisions that have characterized 2020-21. We look ahead hoping that the week ahead will allow for some reflection and some work on tactics and new center backs - Haitham, Ryan, Sean and Paul are hoping for Champions League qualification

January 24th 2020 Enrique from OLSC Delaware plus Sean and Paul talk over the game at Old Trafford. There were definitely bright spots, just need that to translate into form in the weeks and months ahead. Looking for themes: Our xG suggests that we should have scored 6.6 goals in the last 4 games, when actual goals has been zero. Can we get back to exceeding xG? The low block has been a challenge, although many factors seem to have made the low block harder - teams are not trying as hard to

We touch on the last game of the year, and of some the reaction on social media. Although it was hard not to reference the cameo from Thiago. We detour into penalties and question whether VAR is actually the handicapping system that the Premier League are using to keep the race tight this year, and therefore maintain a level of interest. How do Leicester

#FirstStateKopites end of year edition. Haitham and Daz join Paul to reflect on the highs and lows from Palace to West Brom. Rollercoaster sounds such a cliche, so we will say that the Palace second half created an illusion of 'we're back', West Brom was like a 3 act play where we went from that back to the worst of the Fulham self-doubt. Anxiety in the stadium, VAR MIA, Mane being wrestled for 90 minutes and the impact of the Matip injury are all mitigating factors. Still, as much as we can talk
