Simon Hughes and James Pearce join Tony Evans to react to a dramatic derby day victory over Everton, sealed by a towering late header from Virgil van Dijk. Was it Liverpool’s most significant win of the season — and does the performance even matter if the result is this big?There’s also fresh insight into Ibrahima Konaté’s contract situation, with positive signs emerging — and what that could mean for Liverpool’s summer plans.Plus, inspired by Simon’s latest piece, the conversation turns to a bigger question: what does it really mean to represent Liverpool? With many key figures living away from the city, does that disconnect matter — or is it simply part of the modern game?Want to get in touch with your thoughts?
