Dyche, Stone and Woan. It sounds like a graveside lamentation in Old English. Everton’s casually attired roundheads were the last thing Liverpool’s 2024 title hopes saw as the soil fell over their heads.

We talk through the events at Goodison Park, the encroachment of medical bureaucracy on the game everyone except them loves, the latest adventures of Stuart Attwell and the near-mathematical certainty that the Ireland (men’s) national team is about to get much, much worse.

Dion Fanning and Rory Smith join us to poke through the entrails of Liverpool’s season. Does Klopp deserve to rank as a Premier League great? Has he in some ways been the architect of his own downfall? And how will the new Anfield brains trust handle the future of one of the biggest stars in the current squad?
