Introduction and Welcome
00:00:02
Speaker
Every club. Every day. The Global Sports Podcast Network. work work Hello and welcome to today's episode of the daily Liverpool podcast, brought to you by the Global Sports Podcast Network.
Preview of Liverpool vs Fulham Match
00:00:16
Speaker
I'm Adarsh Ramchand and it's a crossover Thursday. Liverpool host the mighty Fulham on Saturday, 3pm at Anfield, with the Reds looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League, following last week's postponed Merseyside Derby. If this game is anything like last season's 4-3 belter, we're in for a treat.
Meet the Guests: Daily Fulham Team
00:00:32
Speaker
For today's episode, I'm joined by Louis Easton. Louis, how's it going? I'm great mate, how are you doing?
00:00:37
Speaker
All good, all good. Excited to get on this crossover. um And I'm delighted to say that we're joined by the daily Fulham team and by Gavin. Gavin, how are you doing? Yeah, I'm not about how are you doing, guys. It's nice to be here, looking forward to a good game. As you said, there was an exciting one last season, like 4-3, so and if we we get one that's half as good as that, I think we're all in for a treat.
00:00:57
Speaker
Yeah, I know. That's what I'm hoping for. Hopefully we still win on Saturday.
Fulham's Record-Scoring Streak
00:01:01
Speaker
So in part one, we'll discuss both teams' form going into this game. In part two, we'll look at a tactical preview of the match. And then in part three, we'll touch on some score predictions and goal scorers. So without further ado, part one, Gavin, I'll come to you first. Fulham seemed to be flying at the moment. um Players in great form, Marcus Silvers got everyone playing really well. What's what's your take on Fulham season so far?
00:01:24
Speaker
Yeah, it's been really good, and I think the exciting thing going into games now is you expect them to score. They've scored 14 consecutive Premier League games, which is a club record. I think it's even maybe a top flight record for them as well. so And they've had tough fixtures as well recently as well, so they've had to contend with that playing playing against Spurs, Brighton Arsenal in the space of a week, and they've come and come away unbeaten from all three of those games. so it's exciting you're going into games even these games against Liverpool where you know it's going to be a tough ask but you have a hope you have a feeling that on their day they are capable of getting results against the better teams in the league. Yeah no definitely I think it's been I mean obviously I was watching the the Arsenal game with with some interest because obviously I wanted you guys to sort of stop them from winning and you guys did that
Fulham's Successful Transfers
00:02:05
Speaker
so no it' it's impressive how Fulham have sort of started this season. Louis what's your what's your full thoughts on Fulham because obviously we've
00:02:12
Speaker
I remember you mentioned actually that you went to the last season's game at Craven Cottage. um Yeah, and I went to both matches ah and they were the only teams. Yeah, Fulham are the only two matches that I actually went to last season. Craven Cottage just went outside and started asking people if they had a spare ticket and I got in. um Don't do that. It's not a good idea and because I almost went home very disappointed. But yeah, i I'm a big fan of Fulham. I think they I can say this, they're my second favorite team in the Premier League. It's the first team I ever saw when I was younger. 2011, I went to Fulham, Stoke City, Pavel Paul-Grebnyak scored an absolute banger there. um But for this season, ah I really like them. I think they had a very good transfer window. Getting in the Mil Smith row has just been a revelation. ah Raul Jimenez as well, starting to score. He did so against Arsenal, a very well-taken goal.
00:03:07
Speaker
I don't think they've just improved in terms of their off-the-ball play this season. um I won't get too technical about it because I'll wait until the second part to do that. but yeah just i'm I'm a big fan of Fulham this season and I think they have every right to believe that they can maybe even push for a conference league spot.
00:03:27
Speaker
Yeah, no, definitely. I think, I definitely think personally that a they should be pushing for Europe. They're kind of in that cluster of teams alongside Brighton, Brentford and Bournemouth in my opinion that I think could really push for at least a European spot. So that's definitely something that they should be pushing for this season.
Liverpool's League Leadership Under Arnis Lot
00:03:41
Speaker
um And then from a Liverpool point of view, Gavin, I want to get your opinion on Liverpool under Arnis Lot. Obviously things are going quite well for us, top of the league. Have you seen Arnis Lot's sort of rise at the beginning of the season?
00:03:52
Speaker
Yeah it's so impressive isn't it? I think a lot of Liverpool fans when they saw that announcement video from Jurgen Klopp when was it sort of January time or later than that last season um would have been scared and petrified almost in a way because all they've known for the last sort of decade is Jurgen Klopp but he's like this god-like figure up there isn't he? This messiah and Eventually, you have to move on, you have to part ways. And we we saw it with Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson, all the success they enjoyed over an extended period of time. And going over to David Moyes, so it shows how difficult that change can be, how difficult that transition can be. And I've seen some unfair things, I ah feel, by pundits, by by saying things like, while Jurgen Klopp just laid the groundwork, Slott's not had to do anything, which I think is a total discredit to what he's done. He's obviously come in there, he's given the given some plays like Ryan Gravenberg,
00:04:40
Speaker
who looks a completely different player this season. So he seems to have improved him, maybe even got Poe as well. And it's just been seamless and fighting on all fronts, aren't they? Top of the Champions League, top of the Premier League into the Carabao Cup quarterfinals. So I think even from Liverpool fans, it must have been beyond your wildest expectations how it's gone so far.
00:04:59
Speaker
Yeah, no, it has been. It has been crazy. I don't think ah many of us would have predicted the positions we're in, both in the Champions League and in the Premier League. So it is definitely, definitely an amazing start to the season, both from Liverpool and on a slot. Louis, obviously heading into this game, we won 1-0 in the Champions League against Girona, not the most convincing win. um And obviously we had that postponed Merseyside Derby last weekend. So how big of a test is this game for Liverpool?
00:05:25
Speaker
um It's a pretty, it's a big test, um because Filament, the sort of team that we'll underestimate, ah given their record this season, ah they are more than capable of scoring a goal against us, um as Gavin mentioned earlier this season, ah earlier this podcast, rather not earlier this season. ah but Yeah, it's a big test in the respect that um it's our first match back in the Premier League ah for quite a while in December terms. And Fulham just looked like a really good size um off the ball going forwards.
00:06:04
Speaker
And coming back as well from Spain and playing a few days later, that's always hard. I'm not making excuses in case we lose, but ah it's a huge test ah for us and it it will be so interesting to see if we can keep a clean sheet against them as well.
00:06:22
Speaker
Yeah, no, I think i think you mentioned Fulham have scored in the last 14 games in the and and all competitions, which is really impressive.
Alex Iwobi's Impact at Fulham
00:06:29
Speaker
um there's um There's one player that I really want to touch on, which we'll probably touch on in the tactical preview as well, but ah Gavin, the former Alex Owobi this season. I mean, I can ah can testify to that because he's he's in my fantasy team, so he's he's doing pretty well. um But what have you what have you made of his form? Because it's kind of, I don't want to say it's come out of nowhere, but he's just sort of taken this Fulham team by the scruff of the neck.
00:06:49
Speaker
Yeah, I completely agree with you. It has come away come out of nowhere in some respects. If you look back at his time at Everton and Arsenal, he played a lot of games for Everton. You look at his goal ratio goal per game ratio, it didn't really stand out, comparing that to Fulham. I think he scored five or six this season, but he's had contributions in terms of assists as well. And he's a manager's dream. Marco Silva knows him well because he was at Everton with him. That's obviously the links to there, so that's why he brought him to Fulham at the start of last season. and He's so versatile as a player. He's operating normally on the left side at the minute, but he can play on the right just as well. He can play behind the striker. We saw in the game against Brighton where he scored two goals, he actually played in a deeper position. Sassa Lukic being out for that game and they had a little bit of a problem in central midfield area. So he sort of covered that and scored two goals. So it didn't seem to have much of an impact on his game as far as an attacking standpoint is concerned. And even the game against Arsenal, ah when Fulham were asked to defend, they defended a lot in that game.
00:07:45
Speaker
So he slipped into a back five, which was the case against Manchester City when they went to the Etihad in that early stage in the season. So there's no doubt in my mind, he's 27 years old. He's been in the Premier League of Wall, a big club at Arsenal, going to Goodison. Whereas you you probably know as well, I mean, Goodison, it can be a difficult place to play. can it because the fans are off and on your back, if things aren't going well, the first 10, 20 minutes. um But he's at Craven Cottage, a bit more relaxed atmosphere, and we're just seeing him in blossom and play the best football of his career. And it's exciting for Fulham fans. You obviously got that Arsenal connection in the team with Nelson. Nelson's obviously injured, now Smith Rowe and Alex Alobi. But out of those three, Alex Alobi has definitely been the standout performer, probably the standout performer for Fulham this season.
00:08:31
Speaker
100%, he's definitely going to be a threat on Saturday. um We'll touch more on the tactical preview of the match after this very short break.

So, um like I said, in part one, we touched on Alex Oobi, key player for Fulham. Louis, our key player this season, it it's not even a question, it's Mo Salah. I mean, scored a goal midweek in the Champions League penalty to take us extra three points in the Champions League. He's obviously going to be a key player on Saturday, isn't he?
Mo Salah's Key Role at Liverpool
00:09:22
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. um I mentioned before, I think he's the best player in the world right now. ah He's getting loads of Ballon d'Or shouts at the moment, and rightfully so. The scoring form is just unbelievable. I think his interplay is incredibly underrated because everyone just talked about his finishing ability, but his ability to dribble, cut in on the wing, ah find a player in the middle.
00:09:44
Speaker
you know If Darwin Nunez could actually score, he would be ah flying up that assist charts, probably overtaking Saka. But he's just he's just incredible. I think we have a few key players, but he's the sort of player that can win you games at any moment in the match, right at the end, right at the beginning. He's just relentless. He's a nightmare for defenders to deal with. um And he's going to be causing many, many problems to this film defense. Yeah, it's interesting you mentioned that because one of the key battles I identified for this match is going to be Salah against Anthony Robertson, who again, Gavin has had an absolutely incredible season. He seems to he seems to be one of those consistent players every season that just puts in seven out of 10 minimum each game. So what do you think? What do you ah battle, Gavin?
00:10:33
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, he's having it easier at the minute he's gone from playing against Bakaya soccer last week to Mohammed Saleh this week. So yeah, good luck to you. But no, as you quite rightly said, he's been so consistent. He has been this season. He's improved even from where he was last season. I know he's been linked in dispatches with some of the bigger clubs, maybe maybe even Liverpool. So this is, well, hopefully for Fulham fans, he has a good game, but not too much of a good game. So it ends up with him moving to Anfield or something like that. but um I think the one area where he has actually improved from last season is his crossing ability that you always used to be a criticism level at him. You get in good positions to cross and that you just over hit it time and time again, but he seems to have worked on that and that's been really successful. I think he's had probably more assists from any defender in the league and against Saka, he pretty much shut him down for most of the game last week. Obviously, Bukaya Saka is a class player.
00:11:21
Speaker
and you're not going to keep him quiet for 90 minutes. He looked like he popped up late on with that winning goal, didn't he? But it was just adjudicated offside, Martinelli offside. And he's just recently been made captain as well, taken over from Bert Leno. So that's a good position for him to take. And they've probably done that with a mind to fend off any interest that does come his way. But there's no doubt in mind that he no doubt in my mind sorry that he is one of the top three or four left backs in this division.
00:11:46
Speaker
No, 100%. His stock seems to keep rising every season and I've seen the rumours just not just to Liverpool but to other sort of big clubs, not just in the Premier League actually but across Europe because I think I've seen like Bayern Munich have been linked with him and other clubs. um So yeah, that's definitely going to be a battle for them to keep him on his hands.
00:12:01
Speaker
ah him on their hands sorry um In terms of the other key battles in the game, Louis, I kind of mentioned Jimenez and Van Dijk, because I think Jimenez is in good form as well. He's been great this season. I remember that assist against Man City was absolutely amazing. He got the goal against Arsenal, so he seems to be affecting the big games. What do you see the main threat from a full-on point of view and in the sense of Jimenez coming up against our defence?
Key Matchup: Jimenez vs Van Dijk
00:12:26
Speaker
well I think he's quite a hot and cold player, and because he'll score some, but he'll also miss some as well. um He hits the bar quite a lot, I seem to think, this season. um but Most notably recently, I think it was against Wolves, he smashed the crossbar. But, you know, he does also turn a half chance into a chance. Bring it with a dead ball as well. But I just think against Van Dijk,
00:12:55
Speaker
anyone would struggle, especially Jimenez, because Van Dijk just seems to step across any player, win every header, um close him down, beat him for pace. it's it's It's not an easy battle for any player against Virgil van Dijk, because i I honestly do think he's the best defender in Premier League history.
00:13:21
Speaker
um and And I just can't see Jimenez scoring in the box against Virgil van Dijk. I'm probably jinxing this now, he's going to prove me wrong. But yeah, he I think he's going to have a really tough time against Virgil van Dijk and I think Gavin, you agree. I absolutely know i absolutely do agree. ah um I agree with what you're saying about him being hot and cold. I think that was an important goal for him against Arsenal because he hadn't been scoring in his last few games. A bit of rotation, so he missed the game against Brighton. Moniz came into that game and there was just one or two questions again of who was the number one striker. We thought we got past this position because Moniz started the season
00:14:03
Speaker
And then Jimenez came in, he was scoring in successive games, he scored three or four get goals in quick succession. As you said, he had that wonderful back heel assist against Manchester City. But um yeah, again, question marks, I mean, he's not getting any younger, is he 33 years old? So if the goals had dried up completely until the end of this year, then that might be a position that for them are looking to do something in the January window because football can change so quickly. know one One minute you're up there, one minute you're at rock bottom. So again, it's important for him just to remain consistent. And yeah, I mean, lo like you said, against Van Dijk, he's not going to get any change out of him, is he? It's a really tough matchup for him. ah I almost feel like Moniz in this game would slightly be better up up against Van Dijk because
00:14:48
Speaker
he just He's more of a nuisance sort of player. He's good at aerial duels and just being being in tussles with defenders. Jimenez obviously doesn't have that electrifying pace as well that can that can worry Van Dijk. So the the striker problem is not not a problem, I think that that's being harsh, but it's just one to watch up for them. It can it can change very quickly.
00:15:11
Speaker
um No, that that is definitely true. I think you make a good point, Gavin, because if Moniz does come in and you've got that pace, you've also got the pace of players like Anthony Robertson, and also it will be other wingers like Harry Wilson if he plays on on the break. And I think, Louis, if Liverpool are going to get a result in this game, they need to be careful for that counter-attack, don't they?
00:15:29
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. um But I don't think we have been caught on the counter-attack too many times recently. ah Also, Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk are two very quick defenders, as well as Trent and ah Robertson. I mean, they will not stop running. And I mean, I don't think Fulham are particularly quick in their attack, but they're always ah well aware of where each other are and their understanding of the game is really good. and So yes, that is maybe something to look out for. But um you know I think we are more than capable of dealing with that as well, as especially since the amount of clean sheets we've been getting recently as well. It's absolutely brilliant.
00:16:14
Speaker
I just realised, I mentioned counter-attack and quick quickness, and I didn't mention Adama Traore, which is obviously of probably the fastest player in the league. um So in terms of ah Liverpool, Gavin, what's the main threats that you see from us? Obviously we mentioned Salah, but what other threats have you noticed from Liverpool that we'll probably bring into this game? Well, there's threats all over the pitch, isn't it? McAllister's, is he out, is he?
00:16:37
Speaker
He's suspended. He's suspended. Right. Okay. Mohammed Salah. I mean, I said this in my little preview I was doing about Anthony Robinson, he can tie him down for 88, 89 minutes, but most, smile most has is a type of guy that can pop up the 90th minute winner. And then you feel like you've had a good game. And no, that's, that's not the case. And Lewis Diaz is another player I've liked. I think he's one that's been up and down with Liverpool fans at times, but I've always really liked him and it's the qualities he's had. And I think defensively, I know they lost and not in the forest, but in the lead they've only conceded three goals at home, haven't they, which is by far the best of any team in the division. so
00:17:11
Speaker
any chances for them to get. They're going to have to be efficient, like in the game against Arsenal. They only had two shots on goal in that game and they scored one one of them. So yeah, any attacks they do. It'll be interesting to see how they set up because going away to Manchester City and going away to Spurs, they were on the front foot a lot and they they actually had better XG than both of those teams and outplayed them. It was just him and Es missing a couple of good good chances against Spurs that denied them winning that game against Manchester City. A damn Troy Rand riot.
00:17:40
Speaker
and speaking of Adam, a trial rate, if he does play, that could be one to watch.
Liverpool's Threats Highlighted
00:17:45
Speaker
I mean, Alexandra Arnold, I mean, it should be illegal to beat, to do the things he does as a, as a fullback on the ball. I mean, these range of passing is just better than any of the fullback I've ever seen. And he set pieces. I think he scored at least one free kick against Fulham Lassie. He might've even been two. Yeah. So yeah, he scored at, he scored at Craven Cottage and he did that one at Anfield, which was an own goal, but it was Yeah, but of course he scored the winner last season coming from 3-2 down later on in that game. So the only thing, you talk about counter attack, Adam Etrore potentially could play on the left hand side and if Fulham received the ball then he can run at Trent.
00:18:25
Speaker
and get joy out. I was frustrated with Adama last week because any time he got the ball he just tried to pass it and that's just not his game. It's almost as if he lacked belief to take on the Arsenal defenders. I mean they had Thomas Partey playing it right back so that should have been a good matchup for him, a converted midfielder. and ah it was I described it as Usain Bolt trying to do shot put. It's just that's not where his talents lie. So at the end of the day, if a Damatore is going to get blocked off or doubled up on that, I'm fine with that. Don't try and be too technical and do things that other players are better at than you. so ah But yeah, I mean, Liverpool pose threats all over the place. But Mohamed Salah, he's he's in the form of his life, isn't he? I mean, which is crazy to crazy to say, um even at this stage in his Liverpool career.
00:19:12
Speaker
No, indeed. I think you make a really good point about Traure because sometimes he can't frustrate you as a Fulham fan, like you want him and his end product. Speaking of a player that frustrates fans, Luis Darwin-Unes, you mentioned it earlier. What do you think? Do you think he starts his game?
00:19:27
Speaker
Well, Jota's still out, isn't he? Kind of. Well, he's he's coming back, I think. But um yeah, we have to start, though, in Nunez. um i I'm starting to give up on him, to be honest. I'm more than happy to go back on my words, but I just think he's been at Liverpool for long enough now to the point where he has to start taking all of these chances. And he's been He's been frustrating us so many times over his time at Liverpool. um He will have his moments of brilliance. We all absolutely love him. We will all ah completely support and be behind him forever. But, you know, enough is enough, really. He needs to score now. And he has so many opportunities where he gets into the box and gets a shot off and he'll scuff it. He'll shoot it straight at the goalkeeper. He won't stay composed. And I'll be like, ah, it will come.
00:20:20
Speaker
But he's been doing it for ages now was like two and a half years now at Liverpool and he's just not been he's not been a brilliant striker despite his whatever a whatever it was 60 million price tag and I heard somewhere that it was between signing him and signing Isak who went to Newcastle and Why didn't we get Isek? I understand that Nunez was brilliant at Benfica for times, but you just think with the recruitment we have, we would make the right decision. And I always back to Darwin Nunez for that reason, but it's been too long now. And I'm getting too frustrated and I'm still more than happy to be proven wrong, like I said, but I'm starting to lose my patience with him.
00:21:10
Speaker
Louis, I share the same sentiment. I mean, yeah, he's just been so frustrating. That Girona game, I mean, he had chances. He's on the board, decision-making. Very frustrating. But hopefully, I mean, this is the thing we've done in New York. The Newcastle game as well. Yeah. Oh, the Newcastle game. Don't you hear me? We started on that one. He was his, yeah. Oh, hopeless wreck, I would like to say. But hopefully, hopefully he can turn it around against Fulham. And in part three, we're going to touch on some score predictions and goal scorers in the match. But we'll cover that after this very short break.
00:21:38

00:22:13
Speaker
do you have a story that the world Amazing. So like I said before the break, we're going to touch on some score predictions and potential goal scorers in the match. Gavin, I'll come to you first. Full of my way. So it makes it makes sense for me to come to you first. What do you think the school will be on Saturday? ah Do I have to give a prediction?
00:22:31
Speaker
and Fulham have been pretty solid away from them. They've only lost in Manchester and that's ah by the odd goal. They have been decent and um as I've mentioned 14 consecutive games where they've scored but this is going to be their biggest test. There is no doubt about that. I'm just hoping that they show some of the qualities on the ball that we saw against Manchester City at the Etihad. I think Marco Silva, whilst he would have been happy with the point against Arsenal, he made note of it himself. He was quick to mention that
00:23:03
Speaker
he wasn't entirely happy with how full and played on the ball in that game. He didn't you know he he didn't set them up to be defending for 90 minutes, trust me. But so it's hard it's hard to see anything other than liverpool Liverpool win with how they've been playing, how they've been playing at Anfield, just that one setback against Nottingham Forest. um And yeah, I think it is going to be a tough afternoon for them. I can see i can see Liverpool winning 2-0, sadly.
00:23:28
Speaker
Interesting. Okay. its i I do think Fulham will score protect personally, so it's it's interesting you offer 2-0. But, Louis, I'll get your prediction and anyone who do you think is going to score as well? Well, I'll start just by saying that Fulham, I think, are a team that Liverpool can struggle against. um I know it's at Anfield, it will be under the lights because of the fact that we're in winter and it gets dark really early now. um And I just think you know it's our first match back in the Premier League after that frustrating one against ah Newcastle.
00:24:00
Speaker
coming back from Spain and it will definitely have to get them in the second half because in the first half I really can see Fulham maybe even nicking a goal. um The cop will be in full volume in the second half, Texas will go out the window as we've seen before and we'll just start throwing players forward and it will go in. That's how I see it happening.
Match Predictions and Analysis
00:24:20
Speaker
As for an actual score prediction, I hate doing these I must say because I never get them right and it's such an unpredictable sport. I've lost so much money betting on this sport. But um i I'm going to say 3-1.
00:24:36
Speaker
and all of Liverpool's goals to come in the second half. Who I think will score, I i haven't got a clue, but so you can imagine Salah getting another one. I'd like to see Darwin Nunez get a goal just to get his confidence up and you know to get people off his back a bit, myself included. um But yeah, that's how I see it going, 3-1 I think.
00:24:57
Speaker
Interesting. Okay, that's thats interesting predictions from both of you. um I do think it'll be a tight game. I think and i i'm in my head, I see it as a similar game for Liverpool as the Brighton game. I think Fulham will go ahead. one Yeah, that's what I was thinking. yeah And then maybe second half we're able to turn it around, but I do think it'll be a narrow... I'm going to go with 2-1. I think it'll be a narrow win for Liverpool. Not very convincing, but we'll get the job done. Hopefully, obviously Gavin, you're hoping for the complete opposite.
00:25:20
Speaker
Yeah, it's funny you say Fulham going ahead and losing the game because I haven't quite a number of times this season. I think it's only Brentford have actually thrown away more points from winning positions than they have. And I think they think 11 times they scored the first goal. So that wouldn't be that wouldn't be completely surprising. And and um yeah, just evoking sort of memories from last season where Fulham led ah later on. And then it seems to happen at Anfield. Doesn't it happen in the Carabao Cup as well last season? Fulham got the noses in front.
00:25:48
Speaker
then Liverpool score one and then they just score the second straight away. It just seems to be that Anfield factor on maybe in the second half when they're kicking towards that cup, it almost sucks the ball in the net. It just has that feeling, that effect to it. And um yeah, obviously, as I said, you know, not necessarily expecting it, but I mean, it would be nice if we got a similar game to what we expected last season. I'm just hoping from a full-on perspective, we see a bit more of an attack, of an attacking it attacking standpoint from what we saw last week and I think in the away games they they have done that so i think I don't think it will be quite back to the war as we saw against against Liverpool just because I don't think you can do that for 90 minutes at Anfield, it's not going to work.
00:26:31
Speaker
Yeah, no, I don't think it will work. But I do think, like I said, Fulham will carry a threat. And as you mentioned at the beginning of the podcast, if it's anything like last season's game, then we are in for a treat.
