Free Podcast: Liverpool Fail To Break Down Burnley Sep 17, 2017

Show notes

The Anfield Wrap this week is looking back on a disappointing week for Liverpool, crowned by a frustrating performance against Burnley. Discussing how Liverpool have failed to score 4 or more against a bottom 13 side this calendar year and that even 3s have been rare, the discussion isn't just that of the defending.

Philippe Coutinho's predilection for shots from distance has returned. Did Liverpool open Burnley up enough? And did they deal well enough with their approach?

Neil Atkinson hosts as Rob Gutmann, Paul Senior and Dan Morgan get stuck into these questions and more.

Cup Of Tea: Les Lawson Sep 12, 2017

Show notes

Cup of Tea: Les Lawson

Les Lawson is a name familiar to many Reds as the secretary of the Merseyside branch of the official Liverpool Supporters' Club.

This summer, Les, despite leading what he believed to be a relatively healthy lifestyle, suffered a heart attack. Here, he speaks to Gareth Roberts and John Gibbons about what happened, his recovery, his roots as a Red and his proud record of attending every home game since the 1976-77 season (a record which continues!).

Les is also trying to raise awareness of the warning signs for heart problems. Official figures show that in the UK alone 160,000 people die from heart and circulatory disease every year and 73,000 people die from coronary heart disease.

We also speak to Les about the support and messages he received from Reds all over the world, from fans to ex-players.

Free Podcast: Liverpool Mauled By Man City Sep 10, 2017

Show notes

A dreadful result but how bad was the performance? Well a couple of The Anfield Wrap thinks it was really rather abject from Liverpool against Manchester City and that both players and manager should be expecting more and better.

Both the defence and the midfield three come under real criticism and the key decision of the game is discussed at length. Was Jon Moss right to send Mane off? Was it a terrible decision? Or just demonstrative of the balancing act referees have to go through? And what about Mo Salah's performance and half time substitution?

To pick the bones out of all this and far more from the game for 80 minutes Neil Atkinson is joined by Philippa Smallwood, Mo Stewart and Stu Wright. We don't talk about 5-0 reverses on The Anfield Wrap so this one is unique. It had best stay that way.

This week's Rider is recorded before the Bank Holiday Weekend. What does everyone have planned for the weekend ahead? And who played Reading/Leeds in 2007?

The details matter.
