Walk On: The Athletic FC's Liverpool show

James Pearce and Oliver Kay join Tony Evans to unpack a calmer Anfield afternoon that still carried big implications. They assess Salah’s impact off the bench, his historic 277th goal involvement for the club — surpassing Wayne Rooney’s record — and what his role against Brighton tells us as he departs for AFCON.

Was this a pause in the saga… or the beginning of the end?

The conversation then turns bigger and deeper. The panel debate the difference between being a Liverpool legend and leaving a lasting legacy. Is on-pitch brilliance enough? What really defines an all-time great at this club? And how do Salah’s eight years at Anfield compare to figures like Dalglish, Fowler, Gerrard, Suárez & Henderson?

Simon Hughes and Andy Jones join Tony Evans for the latest instalment of the Salah saga.

Liverpool returned from the San Siro with a vital Champions League win — but the story of the week remains Mohamed Salah’s explosive outburst and uncertain future at Anfield.

The guys reflect on Arne Slot’s calm handling of the chaos, Liverpool sticking together in Italy, and what that Slot–Seedorf exchange really tells us about the next steps in the Salah dispute.

The panel also look ahead to Saturday at home to Brighton, which some say, could be Mohamed Salah’s last match in the red shirt!

James Pearce, Simon Hughes and Andy Jones join Tony Evans to unpack an explosive weekend at Liverpool, as Mohamed Salah publicly vents his frustrations after the draw at Leeds.

The guys also reflect on more points dropped, the form of Konaté and Gakpo, Ekitike’s impact, and look ahead to Tuesday’s trip to Milan.

Andy Jones and James Pearce join Tony Evans to reflect on another frustrating night at Anfield as Liverpool are held to a 1-1 draw by Sunderland.

The panel also discuss how Slot can get more out of Isak, assess the growing influence of Florian Wirtz – even if the equaliser went down as an own goal - and touch on Mohamed Salah being benched for a second straight game. James and Andy share their thoughts on if Liverpool should listen to any January offers for their star Egyptian.

To finish, the lads turn their attention to a tricky trip to Elland Road on Saturday and Tony brings us up to date on the newly published findings from the Independent Office for Police Conduct regarding Hillsborough.
