## Resource

Simon Hughes and James Pearce join Tony Evans to reflect on a much-needed win over Fulham, headlined by 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha, who became Liverpool’s youngest-ever league scorer at Anfield. The panel discuss whether this is the emergence of a genuine wildcard option ahead of the decisive Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain — or simply a rare bright spot in an inconsistent campaign. Off the pitch, attention turns to growing fan unrest, with reaction to ticket price protests and wider questions around access, ownership, and the club’s long-term direction. Plus, Andy Robertson’s confirmed departure brings reflection on his legacy and where he ranks among Liverpool’s best ever signings. Want to get in touch with your thoughts?
