This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network.
It is Ian Ryan with your pre-match warm-up as we start to look ahead to Aston Villa on Friday night. I've got Sean, Josh and Greg with me for this one. It is action-packed.
What are the key details about the Aston Villa vs Liverpool match?
We will have a caller a little bit later on to give us the Aston Villa perspective. It will be Tom Fahey. And we will have an insert from Neil on a Sixerside fundraiser as well. But this one is going out for free. It is with our partners, Nord VPN. Josh, I'm going to come to you because you are a Nord VPN fan. You have joined the club. Thanks. Why do you use NordVPN?
Talk us through it. Mainly to sort of give myself internet security like the whole time. So it's just like constantly on my phone, like active connection all the time. But it's also good for like accessing like geolock content and stuff like that as well. So that would genuinely be the couple of things I use it for. I've heard there's a way you can get around watching some of those Saturday 3 p.m. kickoffs, but don't say you heard that from me. I'll tell no one, honestly.
But yeah, if you want to get extra internet security and peace of mind when logging into public Wi-Fi's, then NordVPN could be the sketch for you. So if you want to find out more, go to nordvpn.com forward slash tour. There is also a 30 day money back guarantee. And I do believe they are offering a four months extra free on a two year deal as well. So well worth checking out. But Josh, the manager has, he has done this press conference this morning. The first thing he was asked, was about a number of players who have been on the sick list for the last couple of weeks in Alisson's case a lot longer he said with the keeper there's a chance but I got the impression that he probably wouldn't feature Abdullah Park Salah a little bit more positive
Maybe we get to see him for a few minutes. Canarte should be fine. Florian Wirtz has been on antibiotics. He may well train this week, but he wasn't too sure. So it feels touch and go. I think ultimately here, Liverpool are going to be taken to the pitch on Friday with a number of big hitters missing. But listen, the challenge is... to get results, even if you are missing some of these big players?
Yeah, I mean, part of the reason that we thought Liverpool had, you know, what was a pretty deep squad, at least on paper, coming into this season, listen, it's been decimated throughout the course of the season. It's been clear as well in the manager's use of it, sort of in the same way it was last season, really, where I think the squad was probably actually I don't know if it was a little bit thinner or a little bit stronger it's almost a toss of a coin but your perception of it becomes that it is thinner over the course of the season because the manager doesn't fancy certain players so even going into this one and listen I don't think he's been in any way you know the opposite of vindicated with Federico Chiesa I don't want to see more of Federico Chiesa but coming into the season the manager thought like he was a genuine option I thought he was a genuine option maybe it's become the case that someone like Rio Engamo is instead um
Rio was probably one of the bright sparks from Chelsea at the weekend of basically not very many bright sparks really maybe throw Gravenberg into that as well because he gets his goal and both then to a positive first half but nobody's good enough second half and that's you know a lot of those players out there cost an awful lot of money and we've seen be really good you know technical footballers for Liverpool as recently as last season you know if not a couple more seasons for a couple of them so yeah no excuses really the injury update is not necessarily positive I'm not certain that we'll see Alison Becker again this season even what Slott said about Alison Becker's future didn't really reassure me that we'll see Alison Becker again which would be you know a huge shame really not confident we'll see Florian Wurz again given what he's said there about him being on antibiotics and then Salah is probably the one positive one where you know at least you feel like you'll get to give him the send-off he deserves in the last game against Brentford Armfield.
