The Red Room returns with the Premier League season almost upon us, as the panel takes stock of Liverpool’s pre-season and debates just how much progress has been made under Andoni Iraola. Trey Nyoni earns huge praise after an impressive summer, Jeremy Jacquet’s encouraging display against Como raises optimism around the defence, and the panel assesses the noticeable change in Liverpool’s pressing, intensity and overall approach.
Attention then turns to the biggest questions facing Iraola ahead of the opening weekend, whether Liverpool’s midfield has the right balance, whether another No.6 is essential, what Curtis Jones’ potential departure could mean, and whether this squad is genuinely equipped for a Premier League title challenge or should be targeting the top four.
