  Barcola To Liverpool, Isak Myths & Forest Preview | Midweek Sports Special #1 27.08.2026 1godz 13min

  Welcome to the first Midweek Sports Special in the studio from The Late Challenge. Gareth Roberts and Stu Wright get stuck into the latest Liverpool FC talking points, including Bradley Barcola, what the numbers tell us about the French winger and what his arrival could mean for the rest of the squad. We also look at some of the increasingly wild verdicts on Alexander Isak. Is he really injury prone? Can he actually “string games together”? And is anyone remotely justified in writing him off after such a small sample in a Liverpool shirt? There’s more transfer chat too, including Gakpo, Elliott, Minteh, Sarr and Alex Scott, before attention turns to Iraola’s first Prem match at Anfield. What should Liverpool change after Newcastle? How dangerous could Oliver Glasner’s Forest be? And where is the hope-ometer heading as the new season gets properly underway?
