Sean Cox tribute, super-sub Firmino and the goalkeeper Liverpool should not sign

It was one of the most symbolic images of Liverpool’s thrilling run to the Champions League final – captain Jordan Henderson and the rest of the squad holding the banner dedicated to Sean Cox after the semi-final second leg in Rome. And in our latest Allez Les Rouges podcast, host Peter Hooton, regular guest Ste Monaghan and debutant Peter Carney tell the story behind the banner, how it got onto the pitch at the Stadio Olimpico, and how it was eventually taken to Sean’s family back in Dublin. Talk then turns to the superb new Hotel Tia with its owner, and another Allez Les Rouges debutant, Jostein Ansnes, whose passion for Liverpool has taken him from Norway to opening a business in the shadow of Anfield. There’s also plenty of debate on what is a wonderful World Cup including that man Henderson again, Dejan Lovren and why Roberto Firmino is becoming the new David Fairclough (for his country). There are also words of praise for Harry Maguire, Raheem Sterling and the goalkeeper from across the park, Jordan Pickford. That leads to a discussion over the future of Liverpool’s own No 1, Loris Karius. Peter and Co wonder if the German will get a chance to atone for his errors in the Champions League final. But, if that’s not the case, they are not keen on one keeper linked with the Reds on the back of his World Cup showings. It’s another great listen. Enjoy.
