Brighton 2 Liverpool 2: The Anfield Wrap
The Anfield Wrap's free podcast after Brighton 2 Liverpool 2 in the Premier League, putting the result into context and how it might effect Liverpool in any potential title race.
Neil Atkinson hosts Clive Tydesley, Harriet Prior, Ian Ryan and Phil Blundell...
Also in the show John Gibbons talks to Anna whose little boy Francis Oldham was diagnosed with leukaemia aged just three months and who needed a stem cell transplant to treat the blood cancer. With the support of the Anthony Nolan charity, an appeal was launched to find a donor for Francis, and we are delighted to say that since the interview and thanks to a huge campaign in the city and beyond that led to hundreds signing up to become a donor, a match has been found for Francis and all being well he will be eligible for a transplant in November
However, at the request of Anthony Nolan and with Anna's permission we are still going to run the interview as it would be wonderful if we can keep finding matches and keep helping people who need it and create even more happy endings. In Anna's words:
"We are so grateful for everyone who has joined the register in hopes of being Francis’ match. We really hope everyone continues to join the register as there are thousands of people still looking for their match. Many of these will be babies just like Francis."
If you find out more about how to become a donor please visit anthonynolan.org

Katie Stengel: Player Profiles
Katie Stengel will leave Liverpool this summer, so we're releasing our player profile documentary about her journey to The Reds to celebrate the Stateside superstar who brought smiles back to Merseyside...
To help tell the story we first speak to Tony DaLuz, Katie's head coach at Wake Forest University in North Carolina, where she made her journey from Florida to start out life as a student-athlete and got herself ready for a long and successful professional career.
We also speak to Vivianne Miedema, the Arsenal forward and two-time FIFA World XI appearance maker, who played alongside Stengel during a very fruitful year-long spell at Bayern Munich - her first foray into Europe in which she scored nine goals in 20 appearances.
Finally, we take a look back at Katie's return to the United States that eventually led her to Liverpool - via several loan spells in Australia to ensure she could play all-year round - and journalist Theo Lloyd-Hughes remembers how she had used that time to transform into a big personality, on and off the pitch.

The Weekender: The Reds Are Mustard Again
Liverpool found themselves against Red Star Belgrade, but did they really lose themselves? And what did the system and shape have in common from previous games this season?
The Reds are now in the box seat in a tricky group and can kick on from this position. And despite the changes all three of Liverpool's main men stuck the ball in the back of the net over the ninety minutes.
Neil Atkinson hosts with Steve Graves and Dan Sheard in the studio and over the phone speaks to Joel Clyne about Harry Wilson's form and position for Derby County. We are also joined by Becky Ayres (and John Gibbons) from Sound City to talk about next year's festival. You can get tickets here for that and should probably consider doing so.
Then Neil, Steve and Dan look ahead to the weekend to come - Cardiff City and Neil Warnock beckon for The Reds. It's a game Liverpool should win but should is a word in football that can end up doing an awful amount of work.

A game defined by moments, by three points and by Liverpool having more to work on is discussed on The Anfield Wrap.

Is It The End Of The Road For Klopp And Buvac?
An unconventional Anfield Wrap this week sees Neil Atkinson host a long long at the aftermath of the World Cup along with the realities of squad management that now confront Jurgen Klopp.
What does an ideal Jurgen Klopp squad look like? Indeed, can such a thing be possible? The manager himself has changed his approach during his time at the club and looks set to continue that this season.
He does so with his long time assistant Zeliko Buvac who will not be returning to Liverpool. Does this complicate things for Klopp? Is there any plan to replace him?
We work through this with Melissa Reddy and Paul Hogan.
We talk to Rory Smith about Russia 2018 and look ahead to the chaos of a Premier League season no one seems entirely prepared for.
We have Matt Jones talking to us about Everton, their 22-0 win and Marco Silva taking stock of his squad.
John Gibbons is very excited by the tour which is ahead of the club and The Anfield Wrap as well.
It's a taster of a lot of what The Anfield Wrap looks to do on a regular basis, in association with Redsbet.

Real Madrid v Liverpool: The Preview
Every week The Anfield Wrap takes a long look at Liverpool's weekend game and wonders about the approach from The Reds and their opponents. This week though we are looking ahead, imagining we are in the shoes of Jurgen Klopp and Zinedine Zidane and wondering what the pair will be contemplating before this Champions League Final.
Klopp has fewer choices; his side plays in his image and he has been loathe to change set up through the season. Zidane has selection headaches but also has selection opportunities.
This is a game which looks on paper to demonstrate the Review's consistent maxim that your greatest strengths can be your greatest weaknesses. We discuss that in the context of both sides set ups and focus on Modric and Kroos.
Sean Rogers and Paul Cope join Neil Atkinson to be excited about everything in store for us on Saturday night.
This show is out as a freebie due to The Anfield Wrap's year long partnership with Redsbet. Today their parent company Fansbet sees the launch of the initiative around Rail Seating they have worked on with Shrewsbury Town. Neil is joined by John Gibbons on discuss this. Fansbet can be found here and Redsbet's Liverpool specials for the final are available here.

The Anfield Wrap: Liverpool Stutter At Stamford Bridge
Liverpool crashed to defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and The Anfield Wrap in association with Redsbet are picking the bones out of that result and the wider knock on effects for Champions League qualification this season and beyond.
In the end the game was decided by the only goal but Chelsea were able to keep Liverpool at bay. The Reds couldn't make their midfield break the lines and found themselves toiling.
The context is everywhere - Liverpool were back from Rome while Chelsea had the week to prepare but Liverpool were thwarted on the pitch.
The result also emphasised weakenesses in Liverpool's squad at every level and we have a conversation about Liverpool's likely transfer plans.
The we is Melissa Reddy, Adam Smith, Philippa Smallwood and Stuart Wright, hosted by Neil Atkinson.

What can be said about this Liverpool side which hasn't been already? We work though Wednesday and a season which could bear the biggest prize of them all.
We also look ahead to Liverpool's game against Chelsea; a game The Reds could very much do with getting a result from. What - if any - room does the Liverpool manager have to manoeuvre? Can he ask his lads to go one more time?

Liverpool's Unbeaten Streak Snuffed Out By Swans
Taff to take for Liverpool at Swansea as they ended their unbeaten run in South Wales. Was it a bad approach from Klopp and his players or more likely just "one of them"? Did anyone play well? Is it too easy to forget that Liverpool had chances at 0-0 to open the scoring?
In general though these have been the games Liverpool have been struggling in. Is there something underlying in that?
Neil Atkinson hosts as Ian Salmon, Andy Heaton and Rob Gutmann chat through the game and this show is in association with Redsbet. To open an account click on the following link - http://bit.ly/TAWRedsBet

TAW Special: The Owen McVeigh Foundation
Many Liverpool fans will have heard the name Owen McVeigh, the 11 year-old Liverpool fan who tragically lost his life to Leukaemia in 2015, and even more will be familiar with the flag made in his honour and the t-shirts that have been seen the world over, but some of you may not know about the foundation set up in his memory.
In to talk to Andy Heaton about the Owen McVeigh Foundation are his Dad Mark and Adam Kearns who was instrumental in helping the McVeigh family set up the foundation and is a member of the foundation committee.

Free Podcast: Reds Held By Man United But Liverpool Anything But Stale
Liverpool 0 Manchester United 0, but not a game where Liverpool can feel either hard done to or disappointed with themselves.
With Manchester United approaching the game looking for a smash and grab, how did The Reds respond? Should they have looked to push on or did they do the right thing staying solid?
How did the fullbacks do? And what should we want and expect from Maribor? With a ton of Daniel Sturridge talk to go with everything else, this week's TAW show is a primer on everything currently happening with Liverpool FC.
Neil Atkinson hosts with Goal.com's Melissa Reddy, Ben Johnson and Rob Gutmann all in for a long Sunday morning of Liverpool talk.

We divert briefly to chat to Martin Fitzgerald about his book Ruth And Martin's Album Club.
In the studio we have Neil Atkinson, Adam Smith, Rob Gutmann and John Gibbons.

Free Podcast: A Tale Of Two Anniversaries
Two current Liverpudlian anniversaries dominate this week's Anfield Wrap. The first is that Sunday 8th October marked the end of the second year of Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager. It's arguable that right now Klopp finds himself under the most pressure he has been under at the club and that he has set his own standards at a time it will be toughest to reach them.
The second is that next Sunday (15th October) sees the seven year anniversary of FSG's acquiring of Liverpool. Theirs is a constant trade off in the debit and credit column and this is worked through not for the first time by The Anfield Wrap, hosted by Neil Atkinson and with Paul Senior, Adam Melia and Gareth Roberts.
Gareth also speaks to Tony Zeverona, chairman of Prescot Cables on Non-League Day about his role and the challenges facing clubs such as his.

Free Podcast: Rafa Rocks Rotten Reds
Another weekend ruined as Liverpool contrive once again to throw away a win with a painfully lacklustre and all to familiar display at St James Park.
Having never recorded a win against a Rafa Benitez team, the Reds put themselves in pole position to take all three points thanks to a Phil Coutinho howitzer only to surprise absolutely no one by gifting Newcastle the softest of equalisers.
Joining Neil Atkinson to pull on all the threads are Gareth Roberts, Mike Nevin and Melissa Reddy.

Free Podcast: Liverpool Fail To Break Down Burnley
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
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
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.

A fantastic Liverpool performance against Arsenal has, in the eyes of the mainstream media become a story about Arsenal rather than one about the Mighty Reds. Not on The Anfield Wrap. Here we wax lyrical about Jurgen Klopp's side and their dominance over their North London opponents in all areas of the pitch.
The front three get their deserved praise but the back line and midfield won their battles. It was a team performance from the side and one which announced themselves as genuine contenders for this season's title.
Joining Neil Atkinson are Rob Gutmann, Philippa Smallwood and Dan Morgan to talk about the outstanding display of the season so far.

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.

Cup Of Tea: The Daniel Sturridge Question
GARETH Roberts, John Gibbons, ESPN’s Liverpool FC reporter Glenn Price and Rob Gutmann have an unscripted chat about the Reds’ number 15.
Was the striker’s performance against Southampton in the League Cup semi final another signal that his time at Anfield could be coming to an end or should we be more patient with the goalscorer?
Has Sturridge’s game changed or is he too conscious of trying to impress Jürgen Klopp?
And with Sturridge now 27, and among Liverpool’s top earners, can either party afford for him to be a squad player?
