Welcome to the First State Kopites podcast. It’s episode 28 of season 3 - a podcast for Liverpool supporters in Delaware and friends of those Liverpool supporters. Thanks for listening on your preferred platform, we are available on ALL of them (and on YouTube).
I’m Paul and I am joined by Sean and Daz. It’s February 27th, the Mighty Reds have just collected their 9th League Cup against Chelsea at Wembley. 11-10 on penalties.
- How about you put the flag up for offside?
- Joel Matip should have been the hero
- Mentality monsters - turns out we cared about this
- How obnoxious are Chelsea - f**k off with shushes, the diving and the tactical fouls?
- Kepa! If you sub the goalie, you better win.
The Reds beat Leeds 6-0 on Wednesday to draw within 3 points of City having played the same number of games (obviously Tierney and Kavanaugh made sure it’s now 6):
- Joel scores!
- We get 2 penalties!
- Leeds looked exhausted in both halves after energetic openings
- Strangely we took a while to get into this game
Looking ahead:
- Norwich in the FA Cup on Wednesday
- 3 games from another Wembley final
- West Ham in the late Saturday kick off
- The push for the title resumes
Other topics:
- Response to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine
- Champions League Final destination
- We are back to City’s penalty favoritism aren’t we?
- Bielsa - we will miss him, his team has been great to watch (BTW the xG against Spurs was very close, despite the scoreline).
- We haven’t lost a game with a crowd at Anfield in 4 years?
We’ll be back next week after the West Ham game. Thanks to Daz and Sean - if you enjoyed the podcast, share it with a friend. Follow us on Twitter - we only tweet and re-tweet from sources we think are credible
