Welcome to the Redmen TV. There is an absolute tune on right now, by the way.

But we're gonna ignore the tune, and we're gonna start talking about that Liverpool performance, then. A massive win. See you mate. A massive three points against a really, really tough and a really good Brighton side.

They carved us out in the times, let's be honest. They had some There's some... big, big chances, but Liverpool put their lives on the line. I mean, I've got to start with Ronald Araujo. I think I might just be in love. I adore him. I think he is phenomenal. They always say don't fall in love with a lame player, but I mean, he gives you everything. You know what I mean? People are jumping out of 50-50s. He just absolutely thunders into them, takes everybody with him. I just love him, he does it all. He loves winning headers. He loves bullying people. You know, that shot that he had at the end of the road and the power that he got in that, honestly.

I just, I can't describe how much I love Ronald Araujo. He just epitomises everything I want a Liverpool player to have. The grit, the determination, the kind of underdog story in terms of Barcelona completely wrote him off. Well, let me tell you, Barcelona, if you don't want him, I absolutely do. I love him, he goes into every 50-50. He wins the duels, he wins the headers, he puts his body on the line. The part where he just decided to put his head on the ball, in the box, because he couldn't let someone hit it. He's just, I just love him, I just honestly, and I could rave him right to bar over the next eight minutes, but I won't. But let me tell you, I absolutely could. Let me know what yous think of Ronald Araujo. But I just, every time I see him, I just, even if he doesn't win things, like his passion after he wins at tackling everything, I just love him, absolutely love him. Anyway, let's get into the actual performance, shall we?

First off, it was a bit of a hard one in terms of, I think they have a really big chance, and they don't take the chance. I think, it's the day life in that of them. I mean, I ashamed, so I don't know.

Alisson Beckett got thrown out of the ball, he put it over the bar, and then there was Poole Goethe on the other end, Florian Wirt, I don't even think it's his goal, to have heard for him. I thought he did quite well today. Obviously goes off after being injured, I think. I think it's just a little knock, but the ball's bouncing in the box, I think Araujo just brilliantly. It bobbles around the place, and then Florian Wirt shoots it like he should. He hits the ball when we need him to hit the ball in the Douglas.

Hello, my boy.

SPEAKER_3 (3:33)

Do you want to be a part of it?

Chloe Bloxam (3:35)

Yeah. I am in love with him.

SPEAKER_3 (3:41)

What a player. I mean, heart and soul, didn't put a foot wrong.

Just love, the passion to defend. I've missed that in the game, and he has that, and that's what the fans want.

Chloe Bloxam (3:51)

Absolutely. And then, I've got to mention him for the goal for the first one for Florian Wirt. He just thunders through everyone, goes down, they're all thinking he's probably going to get a foul. He carries on, cracks on, and then the second goal, finally, Barcola, and he sacked the movement from, he sacked from a striker. How good was that movement?

SPEAKER_3 (4:08)

No, it was top. No, I think, honestly, I think the game was won in the first 20 minutes. I think the way that we started it, really positive, would have loved us to have kicked on and been even more ruthless, but look, clean sheet, three points.

Chloe Bloxam (4:19)

Love that. And your first time in the cup?
