NEIL ATKINSON is joined by Jim Boardman and Mike Girling to discuss Liverpool’s ugly, ugly win at Swansea City for this week’s traditional Anfield Wrap show.
The lads get stuck into the first half with gusto before analysing Henderson’s definite and very deliberate goal and discuss how this side is becoming experienced in every sense.
Ugly, hideous, unsightly. That’s The Anfield Wrap this week.
Hi guys. Im a big follower of TAW. I usually download the podcasts and listen to them in the gym or on the go. I realy want to be able to download the podcasts. Is that not possible anymore? If yes, how so?

Just listened to the Tuesday review and really enjoyed the analysis. But I am still a bit lost with all the options for stuff to listen to. Maybe it would have been better to build it up the number of shows more slowly but I suppose you had logistical reasons behind that decisions.
Reckon mike seriously needs to get over Mingolets kicking. A shanked clearance and a turnover trying to play it out under pressure is not worth subtracting two points out of ten no matter how you look at it.
Going off my instant reactions, which have said “fuck that’s a goal” a several occasions in the last two games he has kept us in the cup tie and the race for fourth. Although being a good passer and shot stopper would be great but who honestly cares if he has missed a few kicks under pressure if he is keeping us in the game with his saves. I highly doubt that if you put one of the best pall playing goal keepers in there it makes much difference to how we play anyway. I mean he is not like a keeper from the nineties, he can still pass it a bit.
I still cannot get over the change in Migs,
Ya he shanks a few and in an ideal world you would have Reina like sweeper keeper with Migs shot saving abilities,
Good performance being saved for them lot I reckon.
The thing is, it’s so utterly bizarre for someone of that level to do those kicks. It’s always worrying when one genuinely feels he could do better than someone who plays for Liverpool. I’m sorry but no amount of pressure would make me hoof it halfway up the main stand from a clearance. The average person absolutely would not make those mistakes. It’s just so odd. Unexplainable more than unacceptable. It’s a shame because his form recently has been as good as you’d possibly want from a keeper.
This is exactly why I am not that worried about it, on top of thinking it is really not that important compared to the rest of his game (when he wasn’t coming for crosses that was another matter). It is not the most difficult part of the game and it is something he is bound to get right at some point in the next couple of seasons.
I’m sure it it partly down to bad technique, which is undoubtedly spending a lot of time trying to correct, and partly due to all the supporters collectively drawing breath every time the ball gets rolled back to him.
I gotta disagree about Lallana. I think he should have played better considering the amount we payed for him, but he is more than capable of being a constant first 11 player. Perhaps I need to study his play a bit more if one of you describes him as “leaving us in the shitter” but his creativity and dribbling ability definitely gives us a lot going forward, regardless of his pace.
