Allez Les Rouges: The nerves and preconceived notions that aren’t helping Liverpool in the title race

The Allez Les Rouges podcast is back, and after their winter break, regular guests Ste Monaghan, Kieth Culvin and John Nicolson join host Peter Hooton to reflect on a squandered opportunity for Liverpool. Or should that be a step closer to the club’s first title since 1990? That’s the talking point that kicks off the latest episode as the panel discuss the 1-1 draw with Leicester City on Wednesday night. There was no doubting it was one of Liverpool’s poorest performances of an incredible season so far, but could you not see it coming given the way they played in their previous match versus Crystal Palace? Peter and Co ask that question while also wondering whether the national focus on Mohamed Salah in recent weeks is giving the officials pre-conceived notions about the Reds’ top-scorer and his team-mates. As off-colour as Jurgen Klopp’s side were against Leicester, there is no question they were on the end of some bad decisions. But were Liverpool helped by their own crowd in midweek? The lads don’t think they were and explain why. They also wonder about the true strength of Klopp’s squad now that the injuries have started to pile up, and long for the return of one player in particular, before they turn their focus to Monday’s match at West Ham United.
