Mcindoe: 'We have done something no one said could be done'
Liverpool Post Match Reaction After Palace: Triumph, Farewells and the Future
Liverpool's final whistle against Palace didn't just signal the end of a game. It was a coronation. On The Gags Tandon Show, Jack Mcindoe, Lewis Aspinall and Tadiwa Chanakira captured the post-match mood perfectly — pride, reflection and an eye to what comes next.
'This is the moment that I will always bring up first,' said Lewis. 'We have done something that every other club and every other fan and every other pundit said will not be done.' It wasn't just a win, it was a statement. Against the backdrop of a transitional season, Liverpool dominated.
Reaction to Palace Win Shows Title Meant More Than Points
The match itself against Crystal Palace might not go down as a classic, but its symbolic importance cannot be overstated. 'It was all about the celebration,' said Tadiwa. 'Finally getting to celebrate one of these in front of our fans.'

The crowd got what they came for — not just a performance, but a moment. The image of Van Dijk lifting the trophy with Alan Hansen was, in Lewis' words, 'a passing of the torch.' From one Liverpool era to the next, the legacy rolls on.
Jack summed it up crisply: '35 years of waiting ended today… I love you Liverpool.'
Slot's Tactical Touch Earns Post Match Praise
It wasn't just emotion that carried Liverpool through the season. Arne Slot's arrival could have been the risk that derailed everything. Instead, it proved pivotal.
Tadiwa explained it best: 'He didn't tweak a lot… one or two things, but we still saw his identity shine through.' Slot's impact was subtle but decisive, and as Lewis added, 'He rotated Trent and Bradley and gave us a view of what life's going to be like when number 66 leaves.'

That vision paid dividends. Gakpo, a player often lost in the shuffle, became 'top tier at moments,' according to Lewis. 'He finished as our second highest goal scorer… scored against Manchester City… great in our cup run.' All with a redefined role under Slot.

Trent's Goodbye and Salah's Legacy Dominate Discussion
Trent Alexander-Arnold's exit had fans divided, but the podcast reflected on his send-off with surprising clarity. 'I was proven so wrong today,' admitted Lewis, who once didn't want Trent near the squad. 'I cried when he stepped up to get his medal.'
Tadiwa added perspective: 'We got the whole discourse out with the boos… today it almost seemed like the crowd said this is a day for Liverpool Football Club to celebrate.'

Then there's Salah. The man who continues to break the mould. 'Mo Salah without hyperbole is the greatest right winger in Premier League history,' declared Lewis. '29 Premier League goals and 18 assists… ludicrous.'
Tadiwa agreed, noting how Salah's studied approach gives him a unique edge: 'He's at the perfect point in his career… the game has slowed down for him.'

Eyes Already on the Next Season
This wasn't just a post match reflection. It was a rallying cry. 'There's no finishing beneath first now,' said Lewis. 'We're coming for number 21, number seven and number 11.' Liverpool have already started flexing in the transfer market, with names like Frimpong and Wirtz exciting fans.
Tadiwa closed with intent: 'You see the scenes at Anfield… what young player wouldn't want to join us?'

Alexander Isak: Liverpool have new £165m transfer plan to sign Newcastle striker
Liverpool have devised a new £165million plan to sign Alexander Isak this summer. The Reds confirmed their interest in the Newcastle striker earlier this month, expressing a willingness to open talks over a deal for around £120m. Newcastle promptly told them that Isak is not for sale. However, Isak has now told Newcastle he wants to leave, which has prompted the Magpies to explore deals for Yoane Wissa and Benjamin Sesko. Liverpool are expected to launch their first formal bid for Isak this week, with the £65m sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich freeing up a significant chunk of the required transfer fee. Newcastle have reportedly in private set Isak's asking price at £150m, though it remains to be seen if the striker's transfer request will lower that demand. Isak, arguably the best striker in the Premier League, is expected to cost a British record fee, with a fee of at least £130m expected. Liverpool have already broken the British transfer record this summer with the £116m arrival of Florian Wirtz. In any case, Arne Slot is reportedly prepared to sell three more players to fund a move for Isak. According to ESPN, Liverpool believe they can raise a further £100m by selling three unwanted players. Darwin Nunez continues to attract interest from abroad, while Harvey Elliott is thought to be of interest to a number of Premier League club. Federico Chiesa, a disaster signing from last summer despite his £12.5m cost, is also up for sale and could reportedly return to Italy.

Xhaka 'solid' and brings quality to Sunderland
The probable arrival of Switzerland midfielder Granit Xhaka is a "huge signing" and "fantastic news" for Sunderland, believes former striker Marco Gabbiadini. The Black Cats have agreed a £13m deal to sign the 32-year-old from Bayer Leverkusen, with a potential £4m in add-ons. After spending seven years at Arsenal in the Premier League, he moved to Levekusen in 2023 and won the Bundesliga in his first season. "He is a huge signing," Gabbiadini said. "He has obviously seen a connection that he thinks he can make. It is fantastic news for us. "He is a brilliant tournament player for Switzerland and is exactly the all-rounder that we need. He has quality but also that little bit of nastiness and tenacity that you need. That is what he epitomises. He is solid - as his name suggests. "It is going to be a big issue for us this year - that physicality in the middle of the park and Xhaka will bring that. With all the games he has played in the Premier League, he is a very exciting prospect." Xhaka has plenty of experience in England, scoring 23 goals in 297 appearances for the Gunners and helping them win the FA Cup twice. On whether Xhaka is a better signing than former Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson, who has joined Brentford this summer, Gabbiadini added: "That is up for debate. We won't know until we see. They are similar players in many respects and they both have a goal in them. "The biggest issue for us is how many games he is going to play. Injuries haven't been a big issue for him, sometimes you just get players like that. That is a huge bonus for us as well." Listen to the full interview on BBC Sounds

Liverpool signed the NEW face of adidas
Liverpool's latest partnership with adidas is already set for tremendous success. It's the third time the iconic sportswear brand is returning to become a manufacturer of the club's shirts. The relationship between Liverpool and adidas stems all the way back to the 1980s. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now It was in adidas colours that Liverpool lifted their last few First Division titles. It was also in adidas colours that Liverpool were toppled by Manchester United in the 1990s. The Reds then went onto swap adidas for Reebok during a decade long partnership between 1996 to 2006, before once again collaborating with adidas until 2012. Since then, Liverpool have worked together with Warrior, New Balance and Nike but are now returning to the brand which it is most familiar with. Being the current Premier League champions, and having the summer that the Reds have had when it comes to recruitment means Liverpool are expecting record shirt sales when the home kit is finally announced on August 1st. But this is a partnership that doesn't just help them this summer, it sets them up for the future. There's been a lot of talk about the adidas athletes at the club, most notably Mohamed Salah, who is one of the biggest athletes currently represented by the brand. He's not alone, Florian Wirtz is recognised as one of the future faces of adidas. With the brand originating from Germany, there are close ties between adidas and Wirtz. He often features prominently in advertising campaigns for adidas, and will continue to do so at Liverpool - the only difference is that he will be able to wear his Liverpool shirt in the advertisement campaigns. Wirtz and Salah linked-up recently alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal to promote adidas' new F50 boots. The sparkly boots have hit stores already and they are one of the best designs adidas has made in recent years. Wirtz and Salah though are not the only Liverpool athletes who is promoting the brand though.
