Neil Atkinson is joined by Melissa Reddy, James McKenna and Dan Austin to get stuck into Liverpool's slow moving summer. What to discuss? Well:

Transfers, both ins and outs.
Goalkeeping situation.
What to expect from pre-season games this week.

Transfers are dominating the discussion as per usual but in combination with a discussion about a Liverpool manager who wants his first choices and who wants to be at the top table.

Radio City Talk: The Human Side Of Football Jul 07, 2017

Show notes

John Gibbons is joined by Gareth Roberts, James Sutton and Craig Hannan for this week's City Talk show.

In part one we talk about the image of footballers. Is the often negative reputation of players deserved and should young men or women in the public eye be expected to be role models in society?

In part two we are joined by Joe Mott from male football fitness group Man V Fat. He talks to us about the league aimed at getting overweight men playing football and losing weight in a fun supportive environment. For more information go to https://www.manvfatfootball.org

Finally, with the Liverpool squad back in training, we try to analyse which players might stake a claim for first team action this pre-season. The lads each pick a one to watch this summer.

As you may have heard in the insert we have teamed up with Harry's to bring you an introductory offer on their high quality shaving kit. To try Harry's for just £2.95 go to www.harrys.com/ANFIELD

Free Podcast: It’s Good To Talk…Or Is It? Jun 26, 2017

Show notes

An Anfield Wrap with a difference today, all the transfer tattle is over on our subscription feed, with Rob Gutmann getting ridiculously excited about more potential ins to follow in the footsteps of Mo Salah. Here though, we’re doing something else in a podcast of two parts.

First, I’m joined by Andy Heaton, Ian Ryan and Paul Senior and with Liverpool making two high-profile appointments off the pitch this summer in the shape of chief executive Peter Moore and head of club and supporter liaison officer Tony Barrett I want to discuss what we as fans want from Liverpool FC. How do we want them to act? What should it’s identity be? What would make it a de facto ‘good club’?

I then speak to Simon Strachan, who is the co-founder of Gain Line – a sports analytics company - and along with his business partner Ben Darwin they have worked at the top level in rugby union. They’ve got some interesting theories that are now being applied across all sports, including football, in particular around squad stability and team cohesion.

All this and more on this week's big show.
