Walk On: The Athletic FC's Liverpool show

James Pearce and Simon Hughes are alongside Tony Evans for an emergency episode after Liverpool announced the sacking of head coach Arne Slot.

The panel give their reaction to the announcement, discuss where things went wrong for the Dutchman at Anfield - before getting onto who could be his replacement, with outgoing Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola the clear frontrunner. But is he really the right fit for Liverpool? Should the Reds not be setting their sights a little higher?

Andy Jones and James Pearce join Tony Evans to reflect on a difficult Liverpool season and ask the blunt question: where did it all go wrong?

The panel begin by revisiting the off-field context that shaped the campaign before focus shifts to a full squad audit, starting with the defence and moving through midfield and attack. James and Andy debate who should stay, who should go, and where Liverpool need major reinforcements this summer.

Andy Jones and James Pearce join Tony Evans to reflect on an emotional final day at Anfield, as Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson say goodbye to Anfield. Did they get the send off they deserve and how was the mood inside Anfield?

Attention then shifts to Arne Slot. Champions League football has been secured next season, but has he done enough to lead the club into the next campaign?

There’s also discussion on emerging talent. The Athletic’s Felipe Cardenas provides us with information on Liverpool’s young Colombian prospect Samuel Martinez.

Simon Hughes and James Pearce join Tony Evans ahead of Liverpool’s season finale, with Champions League football almost secured — but little sense of celebration around Anfield.

Focus quickly turns to what will be the final Liverpool appearances for Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson. What kind of send-off can the two modern club greats expect?

The Athletic’s Mark Carey also drops in to explain how Salah’s move from AS Roma helped reshape modern recruitment, before the panel preview the Brentford clash — a final-day fixture with plenty riding on it for both sides.

Simon Hughes and James Pearce join Tony Evans after another damaging defeat for Liverpool FC — their 19th of a miserable campaign.

The focus turns to Mohamed Salah after his latest social media post. Is this a parting shot at Arne Slot and what should we make of teammates publicly backing it?

Beyond Salah, the panel dig into where the blame lies for Liverpool’s collapse this season. Has Slot become an easy scapegoat and do questions need to be asked of the players, recruitment, ownership and the wider structure?
