Hello everybody, welcome to the Redmen TV and your latest daily news update show. My name is Dan Club. I'm here for the next half an hour, give or take, to talk about all things going on in the world of Liverpool Football Club. As ever, the floor is yours. Please do bombard the chat with questions, comments, opinions, whatever you see fit. Anything I talk about, you are more than welcome to talk about as well. Good morning, everybody. Good morning. As you can see, it was a successful night for us last night. Next to me is our award for the fan media, influencer, channel or podcast of the season. The Redmen TV, awarded to myself at the Northwest Football Awards last night up in Manchester. So delighted to have been crowned as that, because listen, we are very blessed, very fortunate, very lucky. I am all of those things to do what I do, but we do it all for you. And we like to think or we like to hope, or we at least try to represent the fans and be sometimes maybe even the voice of the fans, whether that's right or wrong, that is what we're here for, to try and bring you the news and trying to keep you in the loop of everything going on in the world of Liverpool and hopefully help you through the bad times and help you enjoy and celebrate the good times as well. And we've done it successfully, certainly this season, because we have the award to show for it. So delighted to win that.

Beat off some really fierce competition in the process, some brilliant podcasts, some incredible people in the room as well. And so yeah, brilliant night and again, made all the more sweeter by being a successful one. But again, as I always say, none of this will be possible. That wouldn't be possible. Not a single thing in this building will be possible whether or not for you guys at home, at work, or wherever indeed you are tuning in from. So thank you. This is for you. Well done you.

Right, I've got lots, I've got, yeah, a fair amount of news to get through. So without further ado, we'll dive into it. But before I do, as is the way with the show, for those that are new to it, I bring up the comments on the screen, talk through them. They very much guide and I try and keep on top of my own agenda whilst also trying to answer as many of your comments as possible. Dan, it might be crazy for what I'm about to say, which is a pretty daunting way of starting a comment that I've not read in full yet. Do I think we could be in a title race if we fix up and get a CDM in January? I think we could, but the only one denying ourselves.

Listen, I was happy, more than happy. I was fully ready to embrace the prospect of a title race and the possibilities of this season. I'm now not that, but the weekend has deflated me and just took the spring at my step ever so slightly when it comes to the potential of this season and what it might turn into. And that's not to say that suddenly we're crapping, we're gonna finish eighth, because I don't think that's true. I think we are still a work in progress and I think we are still getting better and better. Probably we'll reach passing day on the training pitch.

But yeah, the Arsenal now being nine points clear and just because we've come up against Man City and Arsenal, both at Anfield by the way as well. And yeah, I know the Ryan Gravenberch who we will speak about in a second. I know the Red Cards swung that game massively because we were definitely competitive, if not the better team in that game up until that moment. But you've been beaten by Man City and Arsenal at Anfield. And you can't really do that, I don't think, and properly compete for a title. But I think your point generally is accurate. I think we are going to get better and better. And I think there is scope to do some January transfer business that makes it even better and helps us out. I'd like to see us do that anyway. I said last week that if we're in the title race, if we still go nice in the Champions League, if we're still in the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup is about to start. Liverpool would be almost remiss not to reward the manager with that, from that, sorry, in terms of maybe that's a new contract for him personally, or go and sign him a player or two to help you out along the way. Because it's pretty clear that he's unlikely to call upon the services of Federico Chiesa or Taro Endo. So can you give him more to supplement what he's already got, particularly in midfield, which is why Lameen Kamara is such a fascinating case for me and Liverpool. And I do think there's still scope for us to do that. But I don't think it needs to be, we're competing on all four fronts, let's go and sign now. If we're just there or thereabouts and Lameen Kamara becomes available, then absolutely I am here for Liverpool doing it. Especially if there's a chance that somebody else beats us to the punch. Like we've seen Liverpool do that in the past. And I think interestingly it's worth mentioning it. We've seen Liverpool do that in the past with Julian Ward in the Sporting Director hot seat. He has shown a willingness and an ability to be flexible and react to what other clubs are doing around our targets. So if we want Lameen Kamara and someone makes a move for Lameen Kamara, I think there's a good chance Liverpool act on that, which is good, which is good.
