NEIL Atkinson is joined by Sean Rogers and Ian Salmon to have a chat about Liverpool versus Exeter but also to take a broader look at Jurgen Klopp’s time at Liverpool so far and take stock of where he is now as Liverpool manager. The three discuss...
HAS Jürgen Klopp ripped up Liverpool’s loan policy? A string of young players have recently returned to the club, with seven of the 17 put on borrowed time returning to Melwood since the manager arrived at the club in October. Are they back just so Jürgen can...
ONE eye on Exeter, one eye on Arsenal, The Anfield Wrap falls between stools, battered by the number of games as much as the manager and the players. Neil Atkinson is joined by Mike Girling and Rob Gutmann to discuss Klopp’s embryonic Reds’s performance in...
