Merseyside Derby Review
00:00:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello, hello, and welcome to the latest edition of Daily English Premier League provided to you by GSPN. My name is Mihau Traniski, I am your host, and I will have the unbelievable pleasure of um hosting today's episode, which is going to be the Merseyside Derby Review.
00:00:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
And what a derby it's been. I'm going to be analyzing it with Louis, Denan Arby, White, of
Emotional Reactions and VAR Criticisms
00:00:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
course, True.
00:00:31
Louie Easton
Herbie White.
00:00:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Erbywhite, I'm sorry, of course. Erbywhite, obviously. and Welcome to the show, guys. And, well, try not to fume too much. I have to have to disturb you.
00:00:41
Louie Easton
Oh, you're gonna have to give us a lot of luck with that one because my head is still absolutely steaming. Wasn't been like 30 minutes since the match ended, something like that. And I am, my blood is still boiling at the moment.
00:00:53
Irby White
Yeah.
00:00:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
i ah I can totally imagine, I mean, and to be honest, from the perspective of just a pure football fan, like who did who did, he did not have to take any sides. That was in such an unbelievable showcase of why derby games are still important and why they still count and why we should still watch them.
00:01:08
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:01:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, that screamer by James Tarkowski, I know you guys hated it. But the second I saw that go, I just started screaming. It's just kind of like, it's the same kind of emotion like Barcelona, like like the Barcelona fans had when Sergio Roberto is called a screamer.
00:01:19
Louie Easton
No, yeah.
00:01:26
Louie Easton
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's like, and there was a slight pitch invasion as well in that corner.
00:01:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
but
00:01:33
Louie Easton
And, you know, My immediate reaction was anger, but, you know, as I saw the fans all celebrating, you know, total jubilation in that corner, I just thought, you know what? I mean, that is special right there. That's what football is all about. But, you know, as a Liverpool fan, I'm furious. I mean, I'm assuming you're the same as well.
00:01:53
Irby White
Yeah, I mean, um' and it's a good thing I wasn't a player. My head had completely gone. I would have been in the ah middle of that ah helping out Curtis.
00:01:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:02:00
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:02:00
Irby White
So I'm trying to come down from that.
00:02:01
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:02:03
Louie Easton
Oh, no, I wasn't even talking about that. I was talking about the people in the corner, you know, the when he ran over to the corner flag.
00:02:07
Irby White
Oh, yeah. no Yeah, yeah.
00:02:09
Louie Easton
But I was I would have been over with Curtis Jones myself because I mean, vi out as ah as a neutral, I'm interested to know what your point of view is of, you know, in a derby, one of your players running over to the away fans and celebrating in front of them when it's already been a heated match, you know, complete boiling point in the stadium.
00:02:12
Irby White
Oh yeah.
00:02:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:02:31
Louie Easton
but What do you make of that? as a neutral.
00:02:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
and What I make of that is that I have a lot of understanding towards the emotions that drove those players, because let's face it, it's not only the MSI Derby, any Derby is just bound to get heated too much. And well, first, the example comes off the top of my head, but it's super relevant. I mean,
00:02:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
How many times did Sergio Ramos got sent off in those El Clasicos because the emotions got the better of him? How about the Manchester derby?
00:03:00
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:03:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Any derby in the world, you're bound to get some heated exchanges. And the fact that there were three sent offs at the end, it just proves that. Look, that's actually the beauty of football, guys.
00:03:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, ah without emotions, and I believe that was your one of your main arguments why you hate VAR so much, that it deprives emotions.
00:03:12
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:03:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Without emotions, the football is gone. Football is nowhere to be found. Yeah, but you know what, guys? um I would like yeah to provide some sort of like a solving for your souls for Louis and for ah AB.
00:03:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
b I hope I pronounced that right this time.
00:03:30
Louie Easton
Okay, okay.
00:03:31
Irby White
Yeah, oh yeah
00:03:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
So let's go for something cool. Let's go for something that we can just present our ah calm and cool, calm and collected opinions.
Everton's Lineup vs Liverpool
00:03:42
Louie Easton
Alright, we can.
00:03:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
And that is the starting lineups because ah we're only here to discuss Derby. So we've got plenty of time to do that. So let's start with a with the Everton starting lineup. And, Erby, what is your opinion about that starting lineup? like Do you think that, like just standing, heading into that game, do you think that this Everton side could have and presented like a like a bigger thread that they actually did?
00:04:09
Irby White
You know, it's funny you ask that because every time I see it ever since starting lineup against a city, a United or something, I'm just like, who's going to make the difference today for them? And then it's just when in these matches, it's just so much different.
00:04:20
Irby White
Uh, the guy that went off, um, injured, oh goodness, like his, he's escaping me.
00:04:22
Louie Easton
Ilaman and Jay.
00:04:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
and and yeah
00:04:25
Irby White
What's his name?
00:04:27
Irby White
I think he's absolutely brilliant. Uh, I was thinking he's one of the only guys that's going to cause any issues.
00:04:29
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:04:31
Irby White
Beto, you know, no, he's a big guy. He, for the first time, I don't want to say he caused Van Dyke issues, but he looked up for it today. So looking at it, I wasn't too concerned, but in the back
Liverpool's Struggle Against Everton
00:04:44
Irby White
of my mind, I knew it was Everton, right?
00:04:45
Irby White
You know, when you think about as a Liverpool fan, take the bigs, the traditional big six out of it.
00:04:46
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:04:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
And, and yay.
00:04:51
Irby White
Who's the, what's the one away day that you hate more than anything else? It's going to Everton. Um, it's just, it doesn't matter where they are in the league at any point in the season.
00:04:56
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:05:01
Irby White
It's form is going to go out the window and ah we knew it was going to be a war and that's exactly what it was.
00:05:07
Louie Easton
Yeah, and also they came into this match with three Premier League wins in a row.
00:05:07
Irby White
So,
00:05:12
Louie Easton
And ah yeah it's also the memory of going there last season when we lost the league at Goodison Park as they sang at us. It's it's a horrendous place to play. Mo Salah said it himself when he got interviewed by Steven Gerrard.
00:05:25
Louie Easton
He hates playing Everton because they the fans will just you know shout things about your family to you and so on and so forth. It's a vile place to go as a Liverpool player.
00:05:35
Louie Easton
um But back of the starting lineups, it's interesting because both teams have the exact same formation, the sort of 4-2-3-1.
Everton's Defense and Beto's Performance
00:05:44
Louie Easton
And I was just amazed at how defensively ah structured, like how well or they were structured defensively.
00:05:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:05:54
Louie Easton
uh, throughout the first half, especially, um, made it really difficult for Liverpool players, uh, because Liverpool always struggle against a low block and having two defensive midfielders, one of them with loads of experience in drew to Ghana gay. Um, and you know, a really tall right back in, um, O'Brien, it was, it was always going to be tough for Liverpool and you know, Cody Gackpo coming off that left wing. He barely, I don't remember him causing any issues for them.
00:06:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm. Yeah. And I mean, that was basically due to the fact that David Moyes knew exactly how to counter Liverpool's intensity, because this is this is something that Liverpool is known by that basically, you guys just push forward, you do not want to even bother, like exchanging the the buck passes, because it just makes no point, like instead, it just just like, but full thrust forward.
00:06:30
Louie Easton
Okay.
00:06:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then you see your opponent is just shaking their boots. that basically they cannot stop you because you're just like a full steam ahead um and everton and david moise especially he knew how to counteract that and of course we're talking about how everton were organized but let's not forget about the goal scorer for everton betto um plenty of trivia for you there about Beto that all four of his Premier League goals this season have come at Goodison Park and six of his seven overall in the competition and also that is his very first time that he scored in back-to-back appearances in the Premier League. I gotta be honest Van Dijk must have thought very very long and hard like a day before the game how to stop Beto who's on the form like that. Isn't that right Louis?
00:07:34
Louie Easton
I mean, Beto, I i mean, from Van Dyke's perspective, I don't think he had a fantastic game by his standards. I mean, I actually saw him get dribbled past today at one point ah before. I mean, I can't remember who it was, but they got stopped by Kanate. But it was it it was a very tough day for Virgil van Dyke. You know, Beto is one of these players that not only are they really tall and really strong, but they're also really fast. So it's sort of like,
00:08:00
Louie Easton
how do you stop them kind of thing but his goal was so strange i've never seen like it was a one pass and a free kick from almost at the halfway line all the way through and he scored in his first touch dealing with allison's one-on-one incredibly well i've never seen anything like it from allison on deliverables defense all season
00:08:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
me.
Liverpool's Lineup and Referee Critiques
00:08:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I mean, credit to Mois. I mean, I believe Rio Ferdinand commented on it that that must have been trained for like, they must have have they must have prepared themselves for that instance of a set piece, which could actually pose like, like if used correctly, it could pose a big threat to Liverpool's back four. And that's exactly what happened. So again, credit to Mois. But maybe enough about credit for Everton, unless a buy you want to add something there.
00:08:25
Louie Easton
sorry obvious
00:08:49
Irby White
No, I just, I don't know if you guys saw in, in, in real time, right before the free kick was taken. If you go back and look at the highlights or just watch it, you know, re watch the replay, you see van Dyke shouting at Kanate moments before he runs the girl.
00:09:01
Irby White
Like I feel like he van Dyke saw it coming and I'm sitting on the TV and I'm just like, uh, and I just see Beto run across him.
00:09:04
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:09:09
Irby White
I was like, he's going to get a chance. And it was like, you just said it very, I'm sure that was trained on the, on the, on the training pitch worked on all week and it caught cannot say out whether Van Dyke, that's what he was shouting at Kanate about or not.
00:09:22
Irby White
But moments before it happened, I was like, oh, something's going to happen here. I think Van Dyke must have seen it. So, but yeah, go back and look at that because it was right. I mean, it was maybe three seconds before the ball was played.
00:09:34
Irby White
I was like, what's happening here? So.
00:09:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
but but But by the way, Arne Slott is managing the team, I'm sure that they will not make the same mistake twice. And I do not think that this trick will work one more time against Liverpool.
00:09:42
Irby White
No.
00:09:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
And that trick has been used. It's like the card is on the table, you can't get back to it. And just like we, we should we we should like no longer be touching Everton starting Lana, because we've already praised them.
00:09:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I know that that might have hurt you a little bit there. So let's praise the Liverpool starting lineup, because that was basically the the first suit. I mean, ah maybe apart from Trent Alexander-Arnold, which could who could not start because of him not being fit for 90 minutes. But um I just look at those names. I look at Salah up front, Sobo Sly Gackpo. I'm just...
00:10:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Wow, I mean, that Liverpool squad against any other team on any other day, they would have smashed the opposition. But unfortunately for Liverpool, they came against Everton, their hard rivals.
00:10:33
Louie Easton
Yeah, well apart from Nottingham Forest apparently this season.
00:10:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, right.
00:10:37
Louie Easton
ah Yeah, ah but could I could predict that starting lineup when I saw who we played against Plymouth, especially, you know, ah not even bringing or any of our midfielders or the front three that started.
00:10:43
Irby White
yeah
00:10:52
Louie Easton
ah the the The kind of Bradley performance was strange because he just kept on getting himself involved in loads of incidents ah in his right back position.
00:11:04
Louie Easton
And you know it's it's such a good starting lineup until we play against someone with a low block. And then you know even right towards the end, we were pressing. And I thought, in the last 10 minutes, well, we don't deserve to be winning, but I will take this. I don't mind if we win dirty. I don't mind if we just you know take any chances that we can get. But um it it was it was a strange sort of way that we lined up, because Diaz was constantly going over to the left wing and trying to help out Gackpo, and then there would be no one in the middle. and I thought Soboslai was probably the best out of our front four other than Salah. I mean, it and um ah other than Salah's goal and assist, he had quite a quiet game, and I thought Soboslai was one constantly getting involved. He had that shot, I think it was in the first half, ah where he made yeah ah Pickford dive to his bottom right in order to stop the ball from going in, but it was
00:12:00
Louie Easton
it it was It's just Liverpool struggling against a low block again and it's really frustrating.
00:12:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, and you know, I was actually about to ask about Dominic Sobersleil, because every single time I prepare for, um when I try to prepare for our um like recordings of of those episodes, I just look at the stats to back up like my thinking.
00:12:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
And actually, the the stats contradict what you say. And I'm not saying that stats are perfect, because you cannot look at football 100% through stats.
00:12:26
Louie Easton
Yeah, I know. This is an example of them not being perfect, in my opinion, because if you look at the stats of De Bruyne when he first went to Man City and t his attempted passes to attempted success rate was really low.
00:12:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:12:37
Louie Easton
But if you actually watch the matches, you know, Soberslei in this case was really getting involved and doing all of the dirty work, getting into collisions left, right and centre. This honestly was the most aggressive, cagey,
00:12:51
Louie Easton
contact match I've seen in a long time you know there were just clashes all over the pitch um from both teams and I don't know how many yellow cards there were um well we saw the three red cards after the final whistle but it it just felt like the referee had a really poor one And that's what that I think that's why I'm in such a bad mood because of the referee um constantly going to his pocket or constantly giving fouls.
00:13:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:13:16
Louie Easton
And then when there actually is time to give a foul, a legitimate one, which would set up a goal scoring chance or prevent one from happening, it would be given. And and that's what makes my boy Michael Oliver.
00:13:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
i actually wonder yeah i mean I actually wonder what would have happened if if Chris Kavanagh had taken the position of Michael Oliver in that game and Michael Oliver ah had been sitting at the VAR bus or whatever building they've got there set up.
00:13:31
Louie Easton
Classic Premier League.
00:13:43
Louie Easton
They're all the same.
00:13:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
They're all the same. OK, and we're going to discuss that more after the ad break.
00:14:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Amen.
00:14:23
Louie Easton
oh ah don't i look don't i sound so happy i sound so happy there
00:14:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. And for some reason, that ad plays on loop but for the second time when I'm doing this recording. Doesn't matter. i love I love listening to that ad. I actually think it's pretty good. So hats off, Louis.
00:14:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Aha, so it's basically longing for better days. Okay, so after that, as we come back to our discussion about the refereeing this time, and I'm gonna have a question too, I'll be there.
00:14:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
um So, 20 fouls on the side of Liverpool, nine fouls committed by Everton players, and out of all of those fouls, four yellow cards apiece and one cent off apiece.
00:15:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, with that in mind,
00:15:02
Louie Easton
Not cancer, the manager here.
00:15:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah So with that in mind, Arby, the refereeing, I mean, Michael Oliver, do you like agree with Louis' point of view that he completely did not manage that Merci Sartor today?
00:15:18
Irby White
Even even over here in the States, we you know we've got the match on NBC and the commentators were saying he's at right before halftime that Saying he lost complete control the match And I would probably have to agree with that. I mean it was just stop start stop start no momentum It really killed the spectacle of the game, especially the first half. I mean, yeah, there was two goals and what the first 10 11 minutes or so, but I mean it was just I It didn't feel like either team could get anything going after, after McAllister's goal, really.
00:15:47
Irby White
And just, I think it opened up a little bit in the second half, maybe, but I mean, at some point it was just like, you need to let them play. You know, I appreciated, I mean, Louie, what do you think?
00:15:57
Irby White
Do you think Connor Bradley should have been sent off for that other one?
00:15:59
Louie Easton
no i'd say't
00:16:00
Irby White
you It's hard to give a second yellow for something like that, but it was, I appreciated that decision, but at at the same time, it was just like, let that go, like let him play, like let it, let it go.
00:16:01
Louie Easton
i don't
00:16:03
Louie Easton
nay it' i
00:16:12
Irby White
I just, yeah, I don't know.
00:16:14
Louie Easton
it's it's it with No, Connor Bradley was one of those like if he did one more thing he probably would have been off but what what annoys me more than anything else this is not just this match this is every time I've watched a football match I've always realized that referees are so overprotective of defenders
00:16:19
Irby White
Yeah.
00:16:27
Louie Easton
I don't think you should.
00:16:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:16:29
Louie Easton
No. you know a defender can literally back into a striker in their own third in their own box if they fall over if there's just the smallest bit of contact they will go to the bra ground like a ton of bricks the referee will give a foul every single time that look how frustrated Lewis Diaz was getting and do you remember earlier in the season when we played against Chelsea and there was that Darwin Nunez one where Slott completely lost his head on the touch line and Nunez was like he couldn't believe it because there was another break on
00:16:33
Irby White
Yeah.
00:16:54
Irby White
You know.
00:16:59
Louie Easton
It's constant. it's It's ruining football. And that's the biggest problem with refereeing ah and defenders at the moment. I mean, it's just, i go I get so frustrated every time. And, you know, I'm relatively i'm relatively calm when I'm watching a match. ah But today I've lost my head because he did it over and over and over again.
00:17:21
Louie Easton
And also, with their winner right at the end, it wasn't the same thing happening to Canato when it was an actual shove. An actual shove. But I think he just felt a bit too scared to face the wrath of Everton fans because they over-celebrated that goal.
00:17:35
Louie Easton
You know, people running onto the pitch. He just didn't want to disappoint them. He didn't want to start a riot.
00:17:38
Irby White
Yeah, and didn't want to take that moment away from them either.
00:17:38
Louie Easton
But if you talk about the actual game, Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If that was like any other point in the game, it would be a given as a foul, in my opinion, or should have been at least. But oh, God, he completely let the game run away from him. And ah Premier League referees we will never be out of the controversy. But today was a really bad one from Michael Oliver's perspective, I think.
00:18:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, and talking about all of those controversies and especially sent off. So I actually keep checking ah the like the news about, like especially quotes from the most important actors and players and from that game.
00:18:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I actually have a quote
00:18:20
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:18:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah from the verge of undyke and he was speaking too much of the day and he um gave his opinion on the clash of players at the end and he said it was a very big provocation from one certain player we all saw it and reacted as a team.
00:18:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
and reacted as a team, as we were able to do.
00:18:40
Louie Easton
yeah
00:18:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know what happens nowadays, it becomes one big tussle. Then it is not me who has to deal with it. It is the referee and to- today I am not sure he had fully under control. It's as if Louis, it's as if you called him before that interview and just told him what to say.
00:18:56
Louie Easton
Yeah, me and Van Dyke, we have we have so much in common.
00:19:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I mean,
00:19:02
Louie Easton
Apart from height, apparently, I'm only five foot six.
00:19:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, napoleon Napoleon wasn't high either, and like he wasn't tall either, and yet he still conquered Europe. So the height doesn't matter, man.
00:19:11
Louie Easton
No, there we go. I don't have too much in common with him.
00:19:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
It really doesn't.
00:19:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Erbe, so I guess i guess i just it's i there's going to be the host, the responsibility to ask you, Erbe, to be fair and to be official. Do you agree with Virgil van Dyck's words there?
00:19:32
Irby White
Yes and no, the fact that he did, I think he did lose control at points during the game, as Louis mentioned. Did they react as a team? If you go back, I watched, you know, right before I hopped on, Curtis goes after Decoray.
00:19:46
Irby White
And so I think Curtis, I think he did deserve a second yellow for that. I think Decoray just served his red card, and but you know, slot getting his, I need to go back and watch that.
00:19:57
Irby White
um But to Van Dyke's point, yeah, go and I need to see that again, but to Van Dyke's point,
00:19:58
Louie Easton
You're looking at at now.
00:20:03
Irby White
He's spot on, he's spot on. And he, like you said, he took Louis quotes, almost verbatim there.
00:20:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
and Exactly. Like they have got they've got a direct line there.
00:20:11
Irby White
Yeah.
00:20:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Okay, well, um to be honest, I wish I had that kind of direct line with Ruben Amorin sometimes, you know. um Yeah, actually, Louis is right now. He's currently playing you're playing the ah the the the the part of a clip, right?
00:20:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like the audio clip from Okay.
00:20:25
Louie Easton
Yeah, I'm looking at Slott getting sent off. They didn't really... they Oh, he gave him a very firm handshake.
00:20:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, I'm pretty sure Carlo Ancelotti would disagree with you.
00:20:33
Louie Easton
hey And Michael, olive ah you must have he must have said something because it didn't look like...
00:20:34
Irby White
Bye bye.
00:20:38
Louie Easton
You can't get sent off straight red for a handshake. He wasn't even booked, but he must have said something. um Yeah.
00:20:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
You remember that red, that scent of that he got because, but only because he was trying to ah discuss something with the, with the referee.
00:20:53
Louie Easton
ah I'm gonna be honest, I don't remember that one, but I'll take your word for it.
00:20:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, basically, the referee just just taking the red card and being like, off you go, off you go. And Ancelotti, he was just showing his gum. And he was like, what the hell?
00:21:04
Louie Easton
ah Classic Angelotti.
00:21:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
All he could just turn around and just go right back. I believe it was at the time when he was the he was an Everton manager, by the way, right?
00:21:11
Louie Easton
Well, I mean, I wouldn't expect Angelotti to get into antics very much because he just seems like a really calm man.
00:21:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
That was pretty much unlike him. And that is why it was one of the highlights of Premier League history and with like those clashes.
00:21:23
Louie Easton
How on earth did he manage Everton? How did he get the Everton job I'll never understand.
00:21:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, Everton, okay, but we have to give credit where credit
Everton's Strong Derby Performance
00:21:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
is due. Everton have put up a great fight to their local rivals, and that was a great, great send off to the Goodison Park.
00:21:32
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:21:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
And well, and of course Liverpool fans wouldn't be themselves if they did not prepare a little banner, which I particularly enjoyed. I actually wrote it on our group chat.
00:21:47
Louie Easton
Yeah, I know the one you're talking about.
00:21:49
Irby White
I didn't see that.
00:21:50
Louie Easton
I saw it.
00:21:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Louis, could you please explain to everybody and to everyone listening again and watching us what the banana was?
00:21:54
Louie Easton
ah they just they just kept on yeah they they've put up a banner that said ah it's easier to move an empty trophy cabinet and I saw loads of Liverpool fans bringing 30th balloons into the stadium because it's been 30 years this year since they won a trophy
00:22:10
Irby White
ah
00:22:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh my God. Well, you guys pulled no punches. So you also needed to bring your part to the Sandoval Goodison Park. Okay. Wow. I mean, we could just talk for hours and hours about that Derby, a lot of emotions and great football, by the way.
00:22:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, I do not frankly remember the last Derby.
00:22:27
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:22:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
that I would watch live with my very own eyes that would have so much emotion and so much competitiveness on the pitch. Like you couldn't even hold onto the ball for longer than two, three seconds without being attacked by your opponent with a harsh tackle.
00:22:40
Louie Easton
no
00:22:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, that's why Liverpool, for example, that's why we had like 20 files on the column of of Liverpool and I believe eight on the column of of of of Everton.
00:22:47
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:22:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I do not think, and those are only those files which were either caught by the stats person or which were blown by, which were like seen by Michael Oliver. But there was so much more.
00:23:06
Louie Easton
Yeah, I mean there was that, um, advantage given when Salah had the ball, or it was a silver slice, one of them got fouled and one of them took the ball forward and...
00:23:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, what's the game?
00:23:16
Louie Easton
the referee was about to give a foul, then played advantage and nothing came of it. So that's another one there. But I think one of the players that we really needed in that game for longer was Ryan Gravenberg because he was dealing with, he deals with the press like no player I've seen for a long time.
00:23:34
Louie Easton
I mean, Sergio Busquets is the only other one I can think of that plays like that and Rodry and Rice actually. I'm not the only one, but he was needed for longer and I was a bit surprised to see him come off. I understand bringing on the two scalcers for a bursicide derby and it makes sense, but I think Grambert could have had a bit longer, Urby.
00:23:54
Irby White
Well, really, I was funny enough. I was going to ask you this question just to backtrack. Would you have made any changes to the lineup? Not maybe, just when the when it came out, did you agree with it?
00:24:03
Louie Easton
I agreed with it because
00:24:04
Irby White
OK.
00:24:04
Louie Easton
I mean who would would you have played played someone else because I thought it was pretty accurate Yeah Yeah, I think he was it was his first match actually
00:24:08
Irby White
the The only thing i when I looked at it was I would have liked to, because I know Trent's fitness wasn't, he probably couldn't have played more than 30, 35 minutes. I actually wanted to see Curtis Jones simply because he was because he's a scouser.
00:24:25
Irby White
And I knew it was going to be, yeah, OK, that's fair. But I knew it was going to be one of these chaotic games. And so it seemed, I mean, he's been our player this season, Gravenberg, or other aside than Salah.
00:24:36
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:24:39
Irby White
But I think I would have actually played Curtis over Gravenberg.
00:24:42
Louie Easton
Well, for like 60 minutes just to get his fitness back.
00:24:43
Irby White
yeah 60 minutes because we knew it was going to just be, it was going to be emotional and just end to end having someone like Curtis, the legs, going to win the balls. And if we can at some point have a two goal lead, then you put a player like Gravenberg on that can control the game when Everton are pressing.
00:25:00
Irby White
That's the only thing I would have thought now as a coach, I think, you know, everyone thought slot is crazy to drop Gravenberg. He's been our best midfielder arguably this season, but I don't know. Just when I saw that team, I was just like, I would like to see Curtis Jones.
00:25:12
Irby White
I'd like to see us be a bit more open, but that's not, I think clock would have made a move like that where it's, he knows this is going to be a game that's going to be,
00:25:18
Louie Easton
Yeah. And I think.
00:25:21
Irby White
there's going to be fireworks, whereas Slott, he's just like, no, I'm going to stick to what I do and try to play the game at my pace.
00:25:26
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:25:28
Irby White
But that's the only thing I disagreed with. But again, agreed.
00:25:31
Louie Easton
Yeah, I mean, McAllister was a non-negotiable and the way that he set up, he essentially set up his own goal with the interception and then the ball back as well.
00:25:40
Irby White
Yeah.
00:25:42
Louie Easton
It was perfect. So how on earth he wins that header? It's the same as the Real Madrid one, because he did the same thing there, but he was exceptional. And I think Brabenburg was really good. Curtis Jones, I mean, his yellow card was a bit silly, but also McAllister does get in his way and he puts the lunch forward.
00:25:57
Irby White
I think, I think he intended to go into the match or and when he came out the but bench, he was like, I'm going into a tackle. Whether I get the ball or not, whether I get a car or not, I don't care.
00:26:03
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:26:06
Irby White
He's, I think that was his mindset.
00:26:06
Louie Easton
He just wants to leave a review for him.
00:26:07
Irby White
And he was just like, I'm going to make my, make my mark as a Liverpool Scouser. Like as a Scouser, I'm going in and setting the tone and kind of these last 30 minutes, see if I can get the fans going.
00:26:13
Louie Easton
Yeah. um And also his first Liverpool His first Liverpool goal was also that screamer against Everton. So that match means so much to him as a local lad.
00:26:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay.
00:26:23
Irby White
Yeah. Yeah.
00:26:25
Louie Easton
That you know that be ah one bent from outside the box in the FA Cup was amazing.
00:26:25
Irby White
Yeah.
00:26:30
Irby White
yeah
00:26:30
Louie Easton
um I think, yeah, it's definitely a match that matters ah most to the Scousers and Englishmen in general who grew up supporting Liverpool. And also this is, I think I heard the commentator say this is the first top flight match in Liverpool history where an Englishman hasn't started.
00:26:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:26:50
Louie Easton
Everyone, everyone was foreign. the ah The closest is Robertson, who's Scottish and Connor Bradley, who's Northern Irish, but everyone else is from overseas.
00:26:53
Irby White
Yeah.
00:26:59
Irby White
Wow.
00:27:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm. Well, the only first Englishman that appeared at the site of Liverpool was on the 61st minute with Trent Alexander-Nalded and ah Curtis
Closing Derby Thoughts and League Standings
00:27:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jones. Yes, exactly.
00:27:10
Louie Easton
Yeah, coming on.
00:27:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, we're coming on for Gravenberg and Bradley. So, that was the Mercesad Derby, but we're not finishing our episode just yet, because there was one more thing that I would like to ask you about, guys.
00:27:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
But first, let's hear another ad, shall we?
00:28:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Unbelievable.
00:28:01
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:28:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, so we're back and let's look at the implications of that draw at the final derby at Goodison Park. So after this game, that was the and only game that Liverpool and Everton had to play because that was like a remaining fixture from December.
00:28:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
So Liverpool are seven points clear of Arsenal. 10 points clear of Nottingham for it. So Liverpool, they sit comfortably in the passengers, and like in and like a nine of passengers in the pilot seat, obviously. 17 wins, 6 draws and only one loss, with a goal difference of plus 35. Pretty impressive and evident after this draw. and They are tied in points with Tottenham and with Western United, 14, 15th and 16th position, respectively. So,
00:28:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
With that, guys, how do you like your title chances now?
00:28:54
Irby White
Do you want to start, Louie?
00:28:55
Louie Easton
ah I was hoping you'd start. Okay, I'll start.
00:28:58
Irby White
I can.
00:28:58
Louie Easton
ah No, I'll start, I'll um ands What, 14 games left and seven points clear? it's Anything can happen at this point. I just really hope that we can deal with playing against a team that goes defensive because that seems to be our weakness, you know, that forcing creativity. um And, you know, I hope everyone stays fit. Obviously, Kai Havertz is now out for Arsenal.
00:29:26
Louie Easton
So they're going to have to start, what is it, Jesus, Trossard, Nwanyri, Sterling, um still without Saka until mid-March, I think. ah So we we if if we need to take our chances, it needs to be now, while Arsenal are struggling for players ah that are fit. I still think Nottingham Forest are very dangerous, but they are also ah still in the FA Cup, Liverpool are not.
00:29:52
Louie Easton
um And I think it's going to be a case of balancing the Premier League football with the Champions League football that Nottingham Forest don't have. um And we'll also see how Arsenal fare in that competition as well. But it's it's too early. It's way too early. I mean, it was only a third of the way into February, way too early to be discussing ah the trophy ceremony.
Liverpool's Title Race Outlook
00:30:17
Louie Easton
Yes, it's a scary one still. I'll be with you, because I'm a bit pessimistic, I will say.
00:30:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Actually, but sorry, I just want to ask ah Irby as well, on on on based on what you just said, about like with actually like whether that is actually too early, a little bit to talk about, like whether Liverpool already has the title or like is yet to ah to fight a little bit for it. Well, the the Liverpool fans at Goodison Park, they already started chanting that we won the league at Goodison Park, with the result being 2-1.
00:30:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
until that scream. I didn't want to bring it up, but unfortunately, I had to right now.
00:30:53
Louie Easton
oh
00:30:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, maybe they jinxed it, doesn't mind.
00:30:55
Louie Easton
That's not taking a ripple as well.
00:30:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, it'd be. So, looking at the average position of opponents for those remaining fixtures, Liverpool, um they've got, like and according to the stats, of course, like the easiest set of opponents with the average position of 11.14,
00:31:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
and Arsenal, is like they ah their opponents are tougher by like this 0.14, so it's more or less ah pretty much the same set of opponents. But if we look and with much more detail at those fixtures, Liverpool, you guys have got Aston Villa away, Manchester City away, Newcastle at home,
00:31:31
Louie Easton
That's the next one.
00:31:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Everton at home again, then Tottenham at home. ah Okay, we say now, somebody could say now that Tottenham is not that big of a threat, but everything can change in those couple of months, so I wouldn't rush the judgments so quickly. And then May 10th at home against Arsenal. So ah that is going to be the set of your opponents for the remaining fixtures of off bremeli sir irby How do you like your like those remaining opponents and do you think that you still have a better chance of getting to the finish like first before Arsenal?
00:32:09
Irby White
I really hope we can get to May 10th before we play them at Anfield and it's already done and dusted. I mean, that's my dream where that match just means nothing. I mean, I think, Louis, you would feel the same way.
00:32:19
Louie Easton
Yeah, absolutely. aye
00:32:19
Irby White
um Yeah, and I'm looking at these upcoming matches that Arsenal have too with Leicester, West Ham, who else?
00:32:27
Irby White
Forest, United, Chelsea. I mean, that's not easy too. I mean,
00:32:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:32:32
Irby White
kind of to your point, what you just said about Tottenham, you know, they're not really necessarily a threat.
00:32:36
Irby White
you could kind of say the same about Manchester United and Chelsea, how they're kind of dipping and inconsistent here and there. But it's just, you know, in a way, those are both rivalries and Darby. So I mean, lou we would both salivate for a seven point lead in the Klopp pep era when we over city.
00:32:51
Irby White
So there's there's there's no reason why we shouldn't be like I know we're we're both still coming down, trying to calm down from the result just now.
00:32:51
Louie Easton
and Yeah,
00:32:59
Irby White
But seven points clear with 14 to go. It's never done. It's not over until it's mathematically over. But We really are sitting in a comfortable position, but I would just like to see us get on a roll again, where we're keeping clean sheets, putting in performances week in, week out. Being out of the FA Cup, I'm i'm the kind of person, and and just as an a former athlete, I want to win every game. Being out of that hurts, but at the same time, it's going to help. We're going to get more rest. um I just think if we can get on, you know, get out of the this February,
00:33:33
Irby White
get on a roll with the Champions League, you know, win, win ourselves that, that care about cup and have our just regular Champions League, Premier League, Champions League schedule. If we can get into a bit of form and just, you know, see out these last two and a half, three months, I think we can get it done before May 10th. But again, crazier things have happened in this league. Do you agree?
00:33:54
Louie Easton
yeah i i'm i'm i'm a pessimist so i for me i'm having one of those years because i'm so stressed this season for some reason well obviously because we're at the top but i'm so stressed that we could literally win the league and it could be mathematically impossible and i still wouldn't believe it yet i'd have to see us lift the trophy before i start being happy um and also the champions league i'm really really sort of selfish and really
00:33:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:34:22
Louie Easton
just hoping that we can get both. ah just just Just one of them two would be nice. But ah I'm greedy.
00:34:28
Irby White
Yeah.
00:34:29
Louie Easton
I want absolutely everything. um And I think this team is very capable of winning everything, um especially with the FA Cup out the way now. I think that might have been a blessing and a curse, like you may have mentioned.
00:34:41
Louie Easton
but i
00:34:42
Irby White
Yeah.
00:34:43
Louie Easton
I just, I want to take it match by match. I don't like making long-term predictions.
00:34:47
Irby White
Yeah.
00:34:49
Louie Easton
I just want to see, okay, we've got Wolves next, should win that, it's at Anfield, let's get that done. Then we got Villa, then we've got so on so forth. um So yeah, i'm um I'm just hoping that it can be a bit less stressful and I hate last-minute winners at the time.
00:35:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:35:07
Irby White
Yeah.
00:35:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:35:08
Louie Easton
um especially when it's against you but when you're just stressed uh watching that it hurts you as a fan i'm as i'm sure both of you know um i want it to be as little stress for the rest of the season as possible
00:35:23
Irby White
And how, how like, just let's put on our arsenal caps from how detrimental is the Haverts news? Like, how do you feel after that? Do you think they theyre they have a bit of a lift watching that?
00:35:34
Irby White
Or is it just, it's still seven points. We're down to three forwards. Haverts is out for the season.
00:35:39
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:35:41
Irby White
And you see fans around the league and even arsenal fans that I know are just saying Haverts is this Haverts is that he's not good enough. How do you think they feel now? So I'm wondering how they're feeling.
00:35:51
Louie Easton
aye that's an I know.
00:35:53
Irby White
I'd be very curious to know what an Arsenal fan is is feeling right now.
00:35:54
Louie Easton
I mean, how?
00:35:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't think they'll give up without a fight.
00:35:57
Louie Easton
im I'm interested.
00:35:58
Irby White
No.
00:35:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:35:59
Louie Easton
Yeah, absolutely not. I'm still not sure about the Gabrielle Jay-Z situation because I feel like every time I put on an Arsenal match, he's either injured or on the bench.
Arsenal's Challenges and Title Race Implications
00:36:08
Louie Easton
And ah is he available?
00:36:08
Irby White
Yeah.
00:36:10
Louie Easton
I'm not sure. Because the way they're talking about their injury situation, it's almost like everyone's injured. But if they have Gabriel Jesus still at in their ah in their arsenal, that would be um I mean, that that's a good player to have in your squad.
00:36:25
Irby White
Yeah.
00:36:26
Louie Easton
I think he's very underrated. And I think he should have been playing striker and they have it.
00:36:29
Irby White
Underrated and underappreciated.
00:36:30
Louie Easton
to the Yeah, that's what I think. I mean, he was terrific for Manchester City for a while, and they were all really excited when they signed him.
00:36:35
Irby White
Yep. Yep.
00:36:38
Louie Easton
He was like their biggest signing that summer. And, you know, I think they should have been playing him in the middle, and Kai Havitt's out on the right when Bikai Osaka was injured, and Ethan Wenerie was still finding his feet.
00:36:49
Louie Easton
I i don't i don't understand Arteta's logic there, but I think they still have a good squad. And if they haven't got the hardest run of fixtures, like we've mentioned, they should be able...
00:37:02
Louie Easton
They're arsenal. They've got a good squad depth, but they're complaining all the time to make them to make excuses for being second. They hate their fanbase so much.
00:37:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, okay.
00:37:14
Louie Easton
They're the worst fanbase in the entire league, honestly.
00:37:17
Irby White
He very well could be. He very well could be.
00:37:19
Louie Easton
Yeah, that's so awful.
00:37:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh no!
00:37:20
Louie Easton
Insufferable.
00:37:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Guys, Arsenal fans, please stay here. Please, Louis. Okay, Louis has his opinion.
00:37:26
Louie Easton
honestly serves nick bird right for cancelling on us the arsenal
00:37:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah no OK, but like with with with ah all seriously now, I mean, that is going to be a very tight race, I think, because when I said ah right before I started this thread about potential like ah like future opponents, I said that Liverpool have will have the the harshest, not not the harshest, like the easiest ah fixed like the future fixtures with eleven point one four.
Bournemouth's Potential for Top Positions
00:37:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
But that's next actually true because I look badly at the table. I'm so sorry. My apologies. There is actually
00:38:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
a team who's got the easiest like really like this time it really is true the easiest set of opponents especially according to the stats and that is ladies and gentlemen Bournemouth because let's look at detail who they've got Southampton, Wolves, Brighton, Tottenham, Brentford, Ipswich, Westham
00:38:12
Irby White
Mmm.
00:38:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fulham Crystal Palace, Man United, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Manchester City. So and they will be only meeting those giants at the top of the table of the Premier League, only at the bottom end of of the season.
00:38:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
So is there a chance for Bournemouth to create some sort of like a reasonable threat to you, for example?
00:38:39
Louie Easton
not to the title not to the title no i don't i think they're too far behind us in the title to race you know 17 points with 14 matches to go if that would i mean they've already got enough players not players teams ahead of them as it is ah in the table but to cause it's because a problem to us would be insurmountable i think so i think
00:38:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
so
00:38:59
Louie Easton
Bournemouth have a very good chance of top four. I mean, they're only three points off it. And 14 minutes to go with those fixtures you said. If anything, they should be hoping to finish third above Forest, because they can.
00:39:14
Louie Easton
I think Arsenal and Liverpool will be the top two.
00:39:14
Irby White
Yeah.
00:39:16
Louie Easton
I just think that's done and dusted. But, um yeah, Bournemouth, I really like how they're playing this season.
00:39:18
Irby White
yeah
00:39:23
Louie Easton
love our I Iriola. I love the vision. And I absolutely love a team doing it based off merit instead of, you know, money. It's really refreshing. And I think that's what English football should be treasured for. So no title, for but definitely a good chance of top four, maybe even third.
00:39:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, it's just the final question for you guys, just like a, but okay, maybe we shouldn't be taking this question super seriously, but what do you think? How many points do you guys need right now for the title?
00:39:55
Louie Easton
ah
00:39:55
Irby White
Oh God, yeah you're asking the math person, let me do some math.
00:40:00
Louie Easton
okay
00:40:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
I did not actually know that.
00:40:00
Louie Easton
okay from 14 from 14 games and we are seven points clear Ervi you're drawing you're drawing the stuff on the paper okay 14 yeah okay 42 I think we need a good like 36 I'm gonna say
00:40:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Wow.
00:40:03
Irby White
ah
00:40:10
Irby White
There's a 42 possible points that are available.
00:40:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
36 more points to secure the title.
00:40:28
Irby White
I'll say 33.

33. You know what? Let's write it down somewhere. At the end of the season, we will be able to somehow...
00:40:34
Irby White
Oh, God. It's going to come back and bite me, isn't it?
00:40:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
so but um
00:40:37
Louie Easton
So if you say 33, 57 plus 33, that's 90. So you need to, we yeah, you know what, I think that's a good target to have.
00:40:43
Irby White
Yeah.
00:40:48
Louie Easton
um Yeah. Oh, I don't like it.
00:40:51
Irby White
So let's, and then, yeah.
00:40:52
Louie Easton
I'm really stressed thinking about this. I really don't like this podcast. This has been one of my most unenjoyable podcasts I've ever done, I think.
00:40:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
oh
00:41:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
I tried my best to accommodate you the best I could.
00:41:03
Louie Easton
No, no, nothing to do with you. Nothing to do with you, mate.
00:41:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, no, I know, I know, I know, I know.
00:41:05
Irby White
Well, Louie, think about this, though.
00:41:06
Louie Easton
Honestly.
00:41:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
i know
00:41:09
Irby White
The most amount of points that Arsenal can get are 92. If they win every match, they get 92 points.
00:41:15
Louie Easton
oh that's more okay when you put it like that um they have to be perfect and they can't have yeah
00:41:15
Irby White
Think about that.
00:41:20
Irby White
They have to be perfect.
00:41:25
Irby White
And that gives us room to drop three games or nine points.
00:41:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've heard that one before about Arsenal, right? That they have to be perfect.
00:41:32
Irby White
Yeah.
00:41:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. And at that time it was in Liverpool, it was Manchester City. And in that time Arsenal, like they just failed at the most important hurdles and that is why Manchester City could clinch the title.
00:41:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
But this time, who knows? It's Premier League, anything can happen.
00:41:47
Louie Easton
that they've got they've got forest coming up um at forest on a city ground night later this month i'm going to be my eyes are going to be glued to the tv screen for that one but the rest of them i mean other than us and bournemouth actually newcastle as well
00:41:54
Irby White
yeah it needs to be
00:42:06
Louie Easton
I don't see them dropping too many points. I think that match, that Liverpool versus Arsenal match, I know it's the third to last game, but that's going to be absolutely huge because I think if but that could be like a Michael, not not quite like a Michael Thomas one, but similar to it.
00:42:19
Irby White
Yeah, it needs to be. It would feel good to win the league that day against them.
00:42:27
Louie Easton
Oh, that would be so beautiful, especially
00:42:28
Irby White
It would feel great, especially if all you needed was a draw.
00:42:31
Louie Easton
Yeah, and especially to silence all of their crying fans on social media.
00:42:35
Irby White
Yeah.
00:42:35
Louie Easton
ah That would be the best part.
00:42:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
well as the
00:42:36
Irby White
Yep. Or, or tell me this, what if we go into that match already champions and they have to give us a guard of honor?
00:42:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
let
00:42:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Settle down.
00:42:43
Louie Easton
Oh, I would love that.
00:42:43
Irby White
What would be, what would be better?
00:42:47
Louie Easton
Raheem, honestly, Raheem Sterling doing that for us would be beautiful.
00:42:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Settle down.
00:42:52
