James Pearce and Andy Jones are alongside Tony Evans as they get stuck into Liverpool suffering back-to-back defeats for just the second time under Arne Slot.

Following on from the perfect start to the season, defeats away to both Crystal Palace and Galatasaray have raised questions over the Reds' cohesion and chemistry following a number of high-profile moves in the summer's transfer window.

Florian Wirtz, eight games into his Liverpool career, is still waiting for a goal or assist so the panel analyse his start to life at Anfield and discuss the challenges he faces as well as asking what Arne Slot can do to get the Reds back to winning ways.

Elsewhere, James looks back on his midweek trip to Istanbul, Ibrahima Konate's recent form is debated, Saturday's trip to Chelsea is previewed all before we finish by revealing our dog-themed Liverpool XI.
