  • Festive cheer or festive fear? Isak's injury nightmare
    Dec 22 2025

    James Pearce and Andy Jones join Tony Evans to look back on a hard-fought win away at a bad-tempered Tottenham, but questions linger over the cost. The guys discuss the latest on a worrying injury to Alexander Isak and what it could mean for Liverpool’s attacking options in the weeks ahead.


    With injuries mounting, suspensions biting and depth looking thin, attention turns to the January transfer window. Will Liverpool be forced into spending? James and Andy give us their transfer wish lists as Walk On signs off for the festive break.

  • Strikers, status & systems: Ekitike’s rise at Liverpool
    Dec 18 2025

    James Pearce and Andy Jones join Tony Evans to break down how Ekitike has established himself as the club’s No.1 up front, and what his rise means for Alexander Isak and the wider dressing-room dynamics?


    The panel also digs into Arne Slot’s recent tactical tweaks. Is the diamond is here to stay? Which players are thriving in the new system? And how should Liverpool line up for the trip to Tottenham?


    We also get an update on news this week of Paul Doyle’s prison sentence for the appalling attack at the Liverpool title parade in the summer.

  • Crisis, what crisis? Salah, Brighton & what comes next
    Dec 15 2025

    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?
