Audio quality is pretty terrible for this one. Anything you can do?
Sound quality was a bit dodgy but still another great discussion. Some thoughts on Neil’s point about Klopp not prioritising centre mid – remember, his record signing to date and the player he clearly thinks will get us near to Citeh is Keita, a central midfielder. Plus turning Oxlade Chamberlain into a Keita type midfielder seems to be the Klopp ‘grande projet’ of this season. I think there is a certain type of midfielder that he isn’t particularly interested in – an Alonso type ‘controller’ but he clearly loves a dynamic midfielder who can carry the ball from central mid to the attack v quickly. Dare I say it, he’d prefer a Bryan Robson to a Graeme Souness
I wonder whether it’s a response to English football, not particularly known for registas. After all, he usually played a double pivot at Dortmund like Bender & Gundogan, a sitter & a playmaker.
Thought me new Xmas headphones were fucked already.
:)
I know, I know! I always say that too “I wish you were more like Graeme Souness!” The wife hates it!! Hehe, Take my wife….no really..”
Happy New Year to all at TAW, and to all those who comment….yes, even the ‘moaney’ ones (as occasionally I am one). :)
Lads – sort the FUCKING sound out
FYI…While you’re sorting out the audio…

Dirk van Dijk signing could be as big as Mr. Hansen … discuss.
Yes!! Virgil van Dijk has just been confirmed for £75m guys. The Echo have announced it. Big fee but great considering Man City were in for him too. Seriously check the Echo. :) :)
Sound is sound. Great show.
