Walk On: The Athletic FC's Liverpool show

Simon Hughes and James Pearce join Tony Evans to unpack a chaotic final act in Nottingham, from VAR confusion and Alexis Mac Allister’s stoppage-time strike to a worrying first-half display that raised familiar concerns. Did the late winner at the City Ground just paper over the cracks?

The panel discuss Florian Wirtz’s late withdrawal, and the impact of Rio Ngumoha off the bench. There’s also no avoiding the Mohamed Salah conversation: a growing goal drought, a smirk when substituted, and a renewed debate over his future and relationship with Arne Slot.
