Simon Hughes and James Pearce join Tony Evans to break down a night that could define Liverpool’s season. After a flat and frustrating run, Anfield came alive as Arne Slot’s side produced a statement performance to book their place in the Champions League quarter-finals.
The panel analyse the tactical switch to a 4-4-2 system, Mohamed Salah’s impact in a more central role, and whether this performance finally offers a blueprint for consistency.
Off the pitch, attention turns to uncertainty behind the scenes, with speculation linking sporting director Richard Hughes to a move to Saudi Arabia. Plus, with Brighton up next and a tough record following European fixtures, can Liverpool balance their domestic and continental ambitions?
