Unbeaten but uninspiring; Reds make flat start to 2026
Description
Andy Jones and James Pearce join Tony Evans to discuss Liverpool’s frustrating start to 2026, a goalless draw against Leeds at Anfield.
The panel debate whether this felt like two points dropped, assess a quiet showing from Florian Wirtz after his recent breakthrough, and ask whether Hugo Ekitiké was too honest. Should he have gone down to win a penalty?
There’s also discussion around Liverpool’s decision to part company with set-piece coach Aaron Briggs, what went wrong, and whether early signs of improvement can already be seen. Plus, the latest on January transfers, loaned-out players, squad depth, and a tricky trip to Fulham on Sunday.
