This week Rodger is joined by James Rogers, a freelance journalist who grew up in Huyton and now lives in New York.

After last night’s abject performance at Brighton they ask:

• Is that the end of European qualification for another season?
• What does that mean for summer recruitment?
• How many of the current squad are worth keeping?
• What’s the real issue with this squad?
  • Physical fitness
  • Mental toughness
  • Tactical setup and flexibility
• Is Carlo skating on thin ice?
