Unforced smiles: Scouser Tommies

The Anfield Index Podcast

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back to talk all things LFC from Liverpool in the latest episode of Scouser Tommies.

In this week’s show Jay and Jim look back at the home victory against Chelsea and the midweek win against Leipzig, before looking ahead to the trip to North London and Arsenal.

The more we see the Reds playing under Slot the more we see the differences he’s bringing to the club. As Jim says, the squad Slot took over wasn’t that far from being a great team, but fresh eyes have found ways to improve it without changing it. Far too early in the season to say just how good a squad it is now, but it’s becoming more and more obvious just how good Slot is at managing games and instilling into his players the importance of picking and choosing when to force things.

The win over Chelsea came despite some PGMOL-level refereeing, to the extent that Arne Slot’s usually calm exterior was blown away.

Jim and Jay were impressed with Curtis Jones, who covered for an internationally broken Alexis Mac Allister. The local lad celebrated his new dad status with some excellent play, winning a pen, winning another pen that was somehow disallowed, and winning the game. Well, getting the winner. Has he moved ahead of Dominic Szoboszlai in the midfield pecking order?
