What a way to start your Friday as Neil Fitzmaurice is joined by Joe Rimmer and Matt Addison for the latest edition of his superb Poetry in Motion podcast. After a heartfelt tribute to Gerard Houllier, the much-loved Reds manager who passed away aged 73 this week, the trio get stuck into the draw with Fulham and the win over Tottenham Hotspur that took Jurgen Klopp’s champions back to the top of the table. There is a discussion about the progression of Rhys Williams and, in particular, Curtis Jones, as well as praise for Roberto Firmino, who made Tim Sherwood look silly when he gloriously headed in the winner against Spurs. And the merits of signing another centre-back is also brought up, especially when it is framed around real fears Fitzy and Joe have if Liverpool do not defend their title this season. Enjoy.
