Hi, I'm Greg Jenner, host of Your Dead To Me podcast, and we're back with a brand new season. And if you're a fan of fashion trends of the past, you'll love our newest episode on the history of underwear. We explore how our underwear has changed throughout history, and whether TV depictions of regency era ladies in their lacy underwear are truly accurate. Listen on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts. This is the football daily podcast with Kelly Summers. So Liverpool came from behind to open their Champions League campaign with a 2-1 win over Athletico Madrid, whilst Arsenal won 1-0 in Naples against Napoli. With me now is the former Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam, as well as Alistair Reese Bull, and Paul Robinson, who are at Amfield after watching Liverpool's opening Champions League game against Athletico Madrid. And Ali, I think it's safe to say it was a hard-fought win for Andoni Eriola's team, but they did what they needed to do. Exactly right. Yeah, exactly what Andoni Eriola would have wanted in his first Champions League game. Hard-fought win, a good win against a highly respected opponent too. It didn't all go according to plan. You wouldn't expect it to. Liverpool went behind in the 17th minute of the game. Their defence was cut open by Julian Alvarez, past which played in Marcus Urente, and he was never going to miss, given his remarkable scoring record at Amfield. That is a fifth goal in just three appearances here for him. And it meant that Liverpool had worked to do, but you always felt right from the start of the game, the chances were going to come Rio Ungamoa and Bradley Barclay both offered a real threat from the flanks. Although it was actually Ronald Rauho's clever flick just before half-time that teed up Dominic Soberslide for the equaliser. And then I thought Liverpool really started the second half with intent, and the winner came not long after the restart from Alexis Maccassar, a thumping finish with his left foot, and a good old thump of the Liverpool badge on his shirt too, as if to demonstrate his commitment to the cause. The Liverpool players at the moment just going through the warm down routine with dire straits blasting away in the background. I think the one concerned slight, slight blot on the landscape, Kelly, will have to see what Antonio Raiola says was Bradley Barclay going down off the ball in the second half and having to come off with a problem that seemed to be troubling him somewhat. But in terms of the performance and the result, perfect start of the Champions League. We spoke about it pretty much. All of the headlines coming into the day were written by himself, Alexis McAllister, saying how Sad he was not to be offered a new contract by Liverpool in the summer. And Paul Robinson, you said beforehand, you have to let your football do the talking. I mean, it was written in the stars, wasn't it? It was going to score tonight. Well, it was all about him coming into the game, wasn't it? After what he said in the press conference, about seeing these two teammates get new contracts and he felt that he wanted a new contract to deserve the new contract. We've actually still got two years left on his contract, which I found quite strange because it's not the type of thing you're doing. You don't openly ask for a new contract. You let you football do the talking. If you've got two years left on your contract, you go out there, you play better than you did last season because he didn't play to the level tonight, that he didn't hit that level what he got tonight last season. I thought it was four at times last season. He had a very indifferent season. For me, he hadn't earned a new contract, so you don't go asking for one, but you put in a performance on the field. You score goals. You're a man of the match. You put in a performance that enhances your team and your viewers are player. And he did that tonight. He got himself booked early. You could see that he was up for the game. He put himself about. He said he had a good engine tonight. And he took his goal really, really well. And as you say, it was always going to be something about McAllister tonight, and it was all positive for him. And that's exactly how you go about earning a new contract. Yeah, we should say good evening to Charlie Adam. The first time we've heard from you, what have you made of the whole situation and most importantly, McAllister's response on the pitch tonight? I get what Paul's saying. Two years new contract. These clubs now don't allow the players to go beyond that sort of two-year contract, but you have to earn the right. I think his performance last year were not to the level what we'd expect from Alex McAllister. I think he looks a lot fresher coming off the back of the World Cup. He obviously had a good break. And I just felt at the back end of last season, I thought he was preparing for the World Cup. And his performance took a dip. And what a way to go and back up the statement that you made yesterday in the press conference, it was a lovely strike, edge of the box, left foot, brilliant technique. And yeah, he's a brilliant win for Liverpool in terms of getting the Champions League at home without coming down. I love this new format. I think it's brilliant that we're getting on, you know, early in the Champions League campaign first game. We're getting these big games and, you know, it sets it well. And it gives, it gives teams a good opportunity to have a look at who they feel could be around in the latter stage as well, but it was a good win for Liverpool. And the coach will be delighted with that in terms of his first Champions League game as well. Yeah, off to a winning start in the Champions League, but I don't hear her. After they got that first league win against Ipswich on Friday night, Dominic Sabozlai has been a man very much in formally, for Liverpool for quite some time. He got the equaliser tonight and it does look like if Liverpool are going to tick, they need him to tick. He's always at the centre of it. Yeah, certainly in the first half after they've gone behind, he was getting on the ball and and making things happen. And he's such a talented football, obviously, got to be to get into this Liverpool first team, but I think he can score all sorts of different goals. We think particularly don't we of the dead ball striking in the free kicks and the long range hits, but I actually thought that finished tonight was was really clever because reactive well to the aroujo flick that ended up sort of underneath his feet and he just gently touched it with the left foot. And then, you know, didn't try and hit it too hard, just sort of swept it beyond Oblach who didn't have time to react and found the bottom corner. And yeah, you're right, Kenny. He's been putting those performances in full Liverpool for quite a while now. He's going to be a key man this season. He's such an asset when he's playing in midfield. I mean, he spent a lot of time last season playing at right back for whatever reason. Liverpool had a problem in that area and he was utilised as a right back, but you get so much out of Sabozlai when he's playing in the centre of the park. He's got a great engine. He gets up and down. He reads the game so well. He started the game on the front foot and he really set the tempo right from kickoff, you know, that you won the ball back within the first 10 seconds and set Liverpool off on the attack. When we talk about turning defence into attack and the ball moving up the field, he does that extremely quickly. He's extremely clever in his thinking and he's very bright. He either travels with the ball forward or he plays the right pass forward. He's a big asset to Liverpool operating higher up the field in my opinion. Yeah, he has just spoken to our TV colleagues as well saying these nights were always special after a setback we came in, good game, happy for the result and my goal. And he says about, if I just hope we keep on going and we do something special this season, we can achieve everything we want. So we have to work hard for it and let's hope for the best. Lots of positives for Liverpool then, but one, as Ali mentioned before, one slight negative was Bradley Barcola. Making his first start for Liverpool this evening had opportunities, looked bright in periods, but Charlie, he did go off injured. That is the last thing that Anthony Erohler will have wanted when they spent so big on him this summer. We don't, of course, at this stage know the severity of that injury. No, but again, all times we've got to think about he's not really had a proper preseason and you know, it might just be a little bit of a cautionary as well and we have to look at that. But the moments he did have and the quality showed he probably could have done when he gets slipped through one V1 with a goalkeeper, he probably should at least think he'd got to score. But what he is showing is that, you know, he's got real speed at the top end of the pitch. I think I was just listening to the, to the radios I was coming back. Erohler was that think he's already clocked the highest speed in the Premier League this year in his first game. I think it was against it, so we know what he's going to give. He's going to give him that outlet. He's different type to Salah and he's not there to replace Salah. People think he is, he's not, and most Salahs, one of the greatest players ever played for Liverpool. It's going to take him time to adapt and adjust to the intensity of the Premier League, but yeah, he's a special player that Liverpool believe can be, you know, the difference maker in his own right. Well, and Tony Erohler has been giving an update on Bradley Barcola. Here's what he had to say. He's just cramped. There's no injury with Bradley's about building his physical condition. We don't really know, or we didn't know until now probably how much he can play. I don't know if you guys have any, any minutes in, in precision for PSG, he played 30 of their day. Today we had some question marks, how many minutes he can give us. I'm probably now, we know. And I'm very happy because also he has had to very clear chances against the keeper. He has a score, but I won't him there. There is where he has to make the difference, arriving to those spots, those positions. And I'm very happy because I don't know how many minutes he's played, two times against the keeper. He's a good sign with Bradley. Paul, you said kind of tonight about the fact that Liverpool was so good going forward. How do you see that attack working like when it's at its best? And does it very much look like an undone Erohler team? Because I know Bournemouth and Liverpool are very different clubs, very different players, but you can see the identity, can't you, the way he likes to play? You can see that he wants his team always forward thinking. Whenever they turn over possession, he doesn't want them passing backwards and sideways. And I think Liverpool fell into that trap a lot last season. Androh on a slot, there was a lot of recycling of the ball, keeping possession. The wide players would come inside and then they'd play the ball into midfield and they'd keep possession and they'd be patient. They wouldn't be always on the front foot. Whereas tonight we saw two wingers in Gamau. I mean, he's still on the 18 years of age. He really, really impressed me tonight. He was the biggest attacking threat. He was almost like an old fashioned winger. He just knew that he had the beating of the full-back Marcus Laurenti. He'd push the ball around him and just take him on. Not often do we see the wingers just running around the outside of the full-back and putting the delivery into the box. And in Ingamo or in Barcola, they had that tonight Liverpool. They had two wingers that would run past the full-backs. And it's going to be different because Cody Gattpo comes back into the equation. He wasn't in the start and 11 tonight. He wasn't in the squad at all. So he's interesting to see what Ariola says about Gattpo, but he's a very different type of winger. He's a winger that will come inside. He'll try and be more creativity in that way. And Florian Vertes is growing into his role as well. So there's a very different Liverpool, when you've got the likes of Ingamo or Frimpong, Barcola, Munoz. They're different wingers, but then there's a different dimension when Gattpo plays as well. I think he's got a lot of quality at his disposal. It's just how he deploys them. And it worked what he chose tonight. Charlie, what about in defence? Is there a few things to say right? Exactly what I was going to, I was just exactly what was coming on to kill it. I think I think at times Liverpool's open, still open to a huge transition moments. When it's on over as there, I thought at times that the space is too big, back line midfielder than forward. They're just not really connected at the moment. I just think at times when they beat that first press, all of a sudden they're in the back line, then that's where the goal comes from. It's a good moment from La Rennie-Tay, but it's a great pass from Alvarez. But again, Kirk is actually trying to play offside. He's the last guy. He's all the way along the line. He's the movement. He actually has to go with a runner for me. You can't step up because he's off coming off the blind side, so I still think that's a worry for Liverpool getting the balance between attacking and being aggressive, but also defensive for the structure needs to improve as well. Because if they don't, they'll consider a lot of goals and transition like they did last year. They did get a lot better in that second half though, Ali, didn't they? I think it was just three shots that let's go ahead in the second 45. Yeah, it felt as soon as right from the start of the second half, but Liverpool came out, as I said, with a real intent, got themselves in front and from that point. Although the lead was only a goal and obviously inside the stadium, you could feel that sort of desire just to make it a two-goal cushion that actually the threat had diminished really from Athletico in the second half, and Liverpool just had to make sure they sort of concentrated all the way switched on and got themselves across the line. We've got to remember as well, it's Andoni Uriola. I know he's obviously coming in the summer, but this is only a fourth competitive game in charge for him. In terms of getting the team to understand exactly what he wants from them, every single game, they're learning more and more. That's another big tick in the box tonight, and that's, you know, it's a good win, and in the end, second half cruised it. And we can now hear from the Liverpool boss, Andoni Uriola. Today, I have to blame myself a little bit for the start of the game. I think Athletico has used an structure that they haven't used before this season, and it has cost us a little bit too much, appropriately. I think, until we consider the goal, and we've got a couple of minutes, where we've, I think, adjust their things, and we match at much better, and it was the moment where we've started playing better. Obviously, after half time, you have more time, everything was better set, and second half, I think we've heard the best team. I think the team, the players have shown big character, big character, and also the big character. Massively, in the second half, in this kind of night, you have to do your job, but you also can enjoy it. This is the interesting part. I think I have to take the blame from the beginning, because they surprised me a little bit tactically, so that's maybe Erola, explaining a little bit, Paul, as to why maybe they struggled a little bit in the first half? I think they were quite fluid in the way that they played Athletico Madrid. I think they started with a flat back four from the kickoff, and then the two full backs or wing backs at times, he was the one that got the goal, and they were causing the overload in midfield, and that's maybe where Liverpool struggled at times, because Liverpool played with Ungamboa and Barcola, the two out and out wide players, and they were playing higher up the field, so the midfield was getting slightly overloaded. We just McAllister and Savoslai in there with Athletico Madrid trying to flood that area of the pitch, but he worked out tactically. That's what the manager's there for. I mean, he didn't make too many obvious changes, and I just thought it was a game that they controlled from the start, really, even though they went the goal down. They were always in control of this game, and it never looked like a game that was going to escape them, and they weren't too one-up, and their goal didn't come under any threat, and I think the only in-game question that I would pose towards Andoni Uriola is, why would you take Ungamboa off? I know that he had to take Barcola off because he looked like he pulled his left calf, but they were getting the most joy down that left-hand side, and Ungamboa was at the heart of that. When he made the two substitutions, they did sit deeper with Frimpong and Muñoz, they were deeper lie in midfield. As granted, it was later in the game, and Athletico were trying to get something out of the game. But no, I think he's worked that out tonight, and he's going to have to do more of that in the Champions League.

Let's cross to Italy, where Arsenal were made to work for their win beating Napoli by a golden hill, Mazavruki was watching this one. Well, Marano, Sacca and Capiae and Madueke in particular will offer their captain a very worn handshake tonight, I think, a perhaps a cold drink, because of the chances that they miss big, big opportunities. They would have put Arsenal in a very comfortable leading position against Napoli. They could have easily won this match, even 4-0. Instead, the frustrations from the Premier League side grew throughout the second half. Before that martin Erdogan goal in the 75th minute, a lovely strike on one that he probably put an extra bit of wallop into, given how annoyed he would have been at how this match was playing out at that point. Victor Yokarez started at front for Arsenal tonight as well, and I don't think his performance will have convinced many that he should be starting ahead of Kai Havott at the moment, just to underline Arsenal's dominance in creating chances in Naples tonight. They had an XG of over 4 in this match, but they want it in the end by that single goal. Napoli knew Arsenal won it finished. Let's hear the thoughts of the Arsenal manager, Michaela Tetta. Very, very happy. The way we attacked the game from the very first minute, the way we competed, the clarity that we had, how we had to attack them, how we had to disorganise in the purpose, the quality, the amount of chances that we generated for sure the game. The scoreline has to reflect a very different result. We will get there because we had a bit more precise issue to be much bigger, but to don what we've done to the indecisive state and against the opponent is remarkable from the team. We've spoken a lot about martin this season, because he's given us a lot of reasons to talk about him. He created so much, but in the end, it felt like he almost took the game by the scruff of the net himself to win it for you, just some words on how impressed you are with it. That's what we need. The players with that mindset to decide the game and to play with that personality that my action might not happen is the next one, the next one, and keeping system and taking chances and risks. He's getting into those positions much more in recent games, and now you feel he has this emotional state that he knows that the world can go in and he's scored an incredible goal tonight. Charlie, let's talk about their goal scorer because martin Oedigard has started the season. He had a brilliant world cup, and he started the season in really commanding form four goals, but it's not just been his goals that have been impressive, has it? No, I think it's all around performance. Again, coming off the back of his season that year, frustration probably didn't, let's say, it didn't hit the heights that everybody probably expected, okay, they won the lead, but it wasn't fit consistently enough for Arsenal and started the season off really well. Arsenal just there again, probably a brilliant way for a performance to go and get into Naples, tough place to go, get a 1-0 victory, and yeah, to go and win 1-0 away from home, Michele's in a different camp from Alonzo where he's delighted with that clean sheet, 1-0, come back home, and look forward to the game that we can. So, you know, brilliant away performance to go away in Europe because it's not easy to get away and get a win, so he's done well tonight, and let's say, all the guard at his best makes Arsenal look much more competitive and Arsenal probably still the team to beat this year for a penalty. Another stat to back up their dominance in that match, their 26 shots was their most on record since 2003-2014, a single Champions League match, and also the most nappily have faced in that time. A word on Jocarez Paul because Maz mentioned him then. He's had a bit of a weird bit part role so far this season, hasn't he? He was their big money signing last year. He was the striker that they thought they were all desperate. He did some brilliant things last year, but I'm taking nothing away from his performance. He's had a bit of a strange start to this campaign, it feels. And I think that's the question that will always be asked of him, and there was a big talk about Arsenal. They made big moves in the transfer window, didn't they? And one of the big stories was around the number nine that they were looking to bring in. Obviously they've got Havards and Jocarez and Jocarez and Havards have rotated this season, Havards obviously starting the game against Chelsea. Jocarez coming in, they've got a deep squad Arsenal and you would say that that's maybe the one position where they haven't got the cover that they have in other places and the left-hand side maybe after the departure of Martin Ellie. There's those two areas that you could maybe question, but when you look at their squad and you look at the rest of the Premier League squads, they've got the deepest stronger squad by a long way. And I think with Jocarez and Havards, that's possibly a question mark. Are either of those two of the world quality that we talk about early in Harland and maybe Alvarez, strikers of that class. You wouldn't put either of those two in that class. So, have Arsenal got goals everywhere else in the team? The answer to that is yes. The strength and depth that they've got is far more than anyone else in the Premier League. And I'm looking in Europe as well. I'm looking at the squads and the benches here tonight. Arsenal have got a much deeper squad and a bench than Liverpool have got. And I think they're going to be the ones to catch this season. I really do. If you want to look at Jocarez, to get the best out of him, he wants to be slid in the side, uses power, uses pace to get in behind. When he has to come in line, I think that becomes the problem from where Havards likes to come and link the game and play and then get runners from off the sides. But Jocarez, he wants space to run into. And again, let's say all the guard maybe just picking up a deep sliding in between the nuts, him sort of using his power and pace, where tonight against Napoli was always receiving back to goal. And I think it's, I don't think he has his strength. I think he's more of a name that wants to run and use the spaces in behinds off. Again, he'll just have to use the gap to speed. And again, getting goals early in the season gives confidence. We've spoken a lot about Arsenal and what they tried to do in the transfer market reportedly. Anyway, in terms of maybe looking for that player that can unlock defences when they are facing teams, but they did tonight with the moment of magic. Ebrecia Eze came in for his first start of the season tonight. Mazzi's had three appearances off the bench so far. Did he do much to show that he can kind of be a difference maker? I know he wasn't on target, but what was his overall performance like? I mean, I thought his link up play in particular going forward was was really nice at times. He actually set up a marano for that header. It was a lovely sort of cushioned header back from, from Ezra to him. And then he's his kind of swallow dive, which honestly should have been a goal. I mean, do you look at the highlights that Arsenal should have been out of sight in this match after an hour played? So he did do some really good things going forward. But clearly, just that link up play, certainly with your careers. I don't think was there. And Paul and Charlie have both said it there. Just the fact is that if there is a weakness in this Arsenal team, it was absolutely on show tonight because they created all these amazing chances, but nobody converted them. And in the end, it had to be that shot from the edge of the arrow for Martin Erdogan to get them over the line. Arsenal got that all important victory 1-0 in Naples. So thank you very much to Massey. He's been keeping us up to speed with that one. The other results from the Champions League this evening, then Barcelona five finaled one. Barcelona have now scored 22 goals across their opening five games in all competitions this season. Stuttgart three, Veking one. All of the goals came in the first half as Veking lost on their Champions League debut. PSG six, Slovak and Bratislava one, Ferran Torres' hat trick in his first Champions League game for PSG, safe to say, your Taurus side will well beaten in Paris. And it finished sporting three, Galatasaray one. Chelsea have booked their place in the fourth round of the league cup, beating Leeds six three. What a game, Jon Southall. Incredible. I think we now know what to expect from Alonzo's Chelsea teams, don't we? It is incredibly entertaining. Let's not forget Leeds were one nil up at half time. And when Brendan Aronson made it to three minutes after the break, who knew what was to come after that? Zabi Alonzo made a quadruple change at half time, Rodgers, Palmer, Neto and James came on four goals in 12 minutes. Palmer with two goals, Neto with one, Rodgers with a hat trick of assists by the 65th minute. Wellbeck added a fourth, Cavett Lewin pulled one back to make it four three. Barco smashed in a fifth. His shot was then guided in by Danny Wellbeck in added time to complete the madness to make it six three. I also have to say Michael Zetter in the Leeds goal on his debut will be disappointed. I think with two possibly three of the second half goals, not a good evening for him. Chelsea pouring the first half terrific in the second credit to Alonzo for making those decisive changes. And it's now 16 goals in five games, 10 conceded this season. Next up, Hull City, who are yet to concede in the league. So he will see Chelsea six leads three. Is it safe to say that it feels like attack is Chelsea's best form of defence under Zabi Alonzo? Exactly. It's going back to the old Kevin Keegan Newcastle days, isn't it? Will score more than you because have to say you didn't see this coming because in the first half, they made nine changes and they looked like aside who made nine changes. They were ragged, they were disjointed. Leeds were superior all over the pitch. They were one null up and when they went two null up, even you know, he'd made those changes. They didn't even thought then this is going to be a tall order. But when you've got the quality of Rodgers, who's terrific with those assists, when you've got Cold Palmer, when you've got Neto and James to bring on as well. I mean, it's there. It's there for them. As I said, the goalkeeper will be disappointed. The Leeds keeper, I think with two possibly three of the goals, but credit to the manager for making the changes and to Chelsea for finishing off. I mean, they are, I've seen them a few times at this season. I saw them that full them on the opening weekend. I mean, if you're a Chelsea fan, it is going to be entertaining entertaining, but probably slightly scary as well to find themselves going two null down every week. Paul, if we're going to say that Liverpool have got a good attack, I tell you what, that Chelsea attack, Morgan Rodgers, a haptic of assist tonight, Cold Palmer, as John was listing them there, it is frightening, isn't it? Yeah, they're going to be a good watch to season Chelsea, aren't they? Especially the way that he's setting them up to be. And obviously coming back in the game, all the games that I've seen Chelsea this season, the game against Arsenal, I thought that was a good game. And obviously this one tonight, it's an absolute barnstorm. But as you say, that front three, if you can keep those three players fit and firing throughout the season, they're going to be a handful for anybody. They're certainly going to score. They're definitely going to be a good one for both teams to score most weeks, Chelsea. That is for sure. Charlie, they want to win trophies. Can you win trophies playing like that? Are they going to need to solidify things defensively, do you think? Yeah, the need to try and get a couple of clean sheets. You know, as a coach, I'm not sure if you're going to be too happy with that in terms of the 10 goals you've considered. It's fast to open and, you know, ultimate structural problems and failure within that. So things will have to work on. But the problem he's got is he's got two, he's got a lot of games coming up and then he's got, you know, three or four weekend at national break. So he'll have no players to really work on a bit. Yeah, as a coach, you don't want to be in key two and three because ultimately it's not every game you're going to be able to score four or five to come back from. So yeah, it'll be something they'll have to work on. And maybe that's why we've brought Jordan Henderson to give him that wee bit of experience in the middle of the pit. When he gets up to speed and gets fit and ultimately that can help. So yeah, no, I think it's something that you'll be working on with coaching staff and yeah, it's great for the neutral. Lots of goals, but defensively as a coach, yeah, you'll be wanting to try and keep playing cheats. Now let's hear from the Chelsea boss, Javi Alonso is with John Southville. Well, I was entertaining. What did you make of it? Yeah, very many things happening in the in the game. Not just on the on the score sheet. Two different halves. First half when we're not not feeling good as a team, I take the responsibility, I take the blame for, you know, that we didn't have clear ideas and it didn't work and that's why we had to make the three many changes. We had to make the substitutions. It's about trying to get a balance and it didn't work, but it's my full responsibility and I felt that we had to react and say, oh, half, we play with another quality, with another structure, with another tempo and it's not this, but the players are not to blame. The ones that they play in the first half is myself. Even you couldn't have expected the impact they'd have there with you four. I think it was four goals in a space of 12 minutes. I had a few conversations before the game and they told me coach, if needed, we are ready to go because they want to play and we have other players that they need support and they have done it really well and whenever they came on the pitch, they played with great mentality, great intensity and if it has changed the tempo and the dynamic of the game. Is this how you want your team to play or presume you'd prefer to be a bit tighter at the back? Well, to be honest, if we have a boring EC2-0, I'm happy with that as well. So it doesn't have to be that entertaining. I can enjoy a boring game as well. So I'm sure that they will come but at the moment we are putting pieces together and we today was it was another approach because of the inner competition because of other players but I take the whole responsibility of all the decisions. Well, that's it for this episode of The Football Daily. My thanks to Charlie Adam, Paul Robinson and Aleister Bruce Bull. Next up on The Feed will be the Euronakes.
