Episode Notes

Dave Davis dissects Liverpool’s increasingly precarious defensive situation following Conor Bradley’s season-ending injury and the club’s refusal to seek a replacement. With internal solutions once again briefed as the answer, Dave questions the logic of relying on Joe Gomez, makeshift right-backs and an already thin back line. The discussion widens to summer links including Micky van de Ven and Óscar Mingueza, Federico Chiesa’s uncertain future, Kevin Schade’s emergence as a potential target and the growing sense that Liverpool are storing problems for later rather than solving them now.
