    Indeed, one of the main topics of debate in the new TIA Podcast was the size of the Reds squad. Guest Dave Usher and Alan Kayll discuss the size of the squad with show host Numbers. They discuss the lack of quality outside of Liverpool’s starting eleven. Most fans will agree that when chasing a game and looking over to the bench and seeing Voronin and Ngog as your best options up front isn’t ideal for a title chasing team.
