James Pearce, Simon Hughes and Andy Jones join Tony Evans to unpack an explosive weekend at Liverpool, as Mohamed Salah publicly vents his frustrations after the draw at Leeds.

The panel debate how relations between Salah and Arne Slot have deteriorated, what this means for the dressing room and the club’s hierarchy, and whether a January exit has suddenly become a real possibility.

The guys also reflect on more points dropped, the form of Konaté and Gakpo, Ekitike’s impact, and look ahead to Tuesday’s trip to Milan.

Andy Jones and James Pearce join Tony Evans to reflect on another frustrating night at Anfield as Liverpool are held to a 1-1 draw by Sunderland.

The panel also discuss how Slot can get more out of Isak, assess the growing influence of Florian Wirtz – even if the equaliser went down as an own goal - and touch on Mohamed Salah being benched for a second straight game. James and Andy share their thoughts on if Liverpool should listen to any January offers for their star Egyptian.

To finish, the lads turn their attention to a tricky trip to Elland Road on Saturday and Tony brings us up to date on the newly published findings from the Independent Office for Police Conduct regarding Hillsborough.
