Welcome to the First State Kopites podcast. It’s episode 15 of season 3 - a podcast for Liverpool supporters in Delaware and friends of Liverpool supporters in Delaware. Thanks for listening on your preferred platform, we are available on ALL of them (and you can find us on YouTube). Delighted to be joined by Justin from New York, Haitham from Chicago and Sean and me here in Delaware.

Atletico Madrid - Instant Karma’s gonna get you

• Tactics from Atletico seemed questionable - referees and Mane
• What is this - qualified for knockout without drama?

West Ham away - wasn’t expecting this, were you?

• End of the 25 game unbeaten run - matching the 1982 team.
• Let’s get refereeing out of the way first
• Performance seemed to have a lot of errors

Home to Arsenal next week:

• How many players will we have back? Is travel still an issue? Assume no Firmino, what about Keita, Jones and Milner? What about Mane?
• Should we really have to worry about Arsenal again? - 2 points behind us, 8 games unbeaten, including 6 wins. Conceded 4 goals in those 8 matches.

International Break - time for Steven Gerrard at Aston Villa, Eddie Howe at Newcastle, Dean Smith at Norwich and Conte at Spurs to work with those members of their team who aren’t playing international football. And there's Michael Edwards.

We’ll be back after the Arsenal game to hopefully chat about the Reds return to winning ways.. Thanks to everyone - if you enjoyed the podcast, share it with a friend. Follow us on Twitter - we only tweet and re-tweet from sources we think are credible
