Welcome to the latest edition of First State Kopites. It’s episode 37 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).
It’s Paul joined by Sean and Daz to reflect on a big couple of weeks in the Premier League and a second trophy of the season as Liverpool land their 8th FA Cup. The season has just a few more steps, but there’s so much on the line.
Chronologically in the League:
- Spurs at home. A disappointing 1-1. Paul watched it in person, the first half felt like we had them on the ropes, second half, did we resort to too many hopeful crosses (30 in the game?). We are right with Jurgen on the Spurs style of football.
- Villa away - come from behind, bit chaotic, some changes that we sorted out in the end
- Southampton away - Martin Atkinson one last time - Reds come back and play some nice football with a nearly new team
- Joel Matip comes up big, Thiago, Konate, Allison - unbelievable
FA Cup Final:
- Another penalty shoot out - big victory for small margins
- Should we have had this won before penalties?
Just 2 games left - and possibly 2 trophies:
- Man City - no peril for them and it's done. It seems when there is peril, things can happen….
- Wolves at home (again) - they have been quite awful in the last month, what do we expect?
- Every year we’ve been in a League and/or FA Cup final and a European Cup Final, we’ve won the European Cup. 2019 only year we won without appearing in a domestic final
We’ll be back next week after the final league game and look ahead to the Champions League Final. Thanks to 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.
