Analysing Anfield is one of our most-loved podcasts but the only shame is that it wasn’t going when Liverpool started to put together the squad that has developed into the champions of the Premier League, Europe and the World. That robbed the podcast’s loyal listeners of the chance to hear Josh Williams and David Hughes dig deep into the underlying numbers to explain why Jurgen Klopp, Michael Edwards and Co chose to sign the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dijk. So, with it all quiet on the transfer front, that’s exactly what Josh and David have done for this week’s episode. If you liked the detail the duo went into in last week’s episode on Reds news boy Kostas Tsimikas, then you are going to love this. It’s a fascinating insight into the thought process behind the recruitment of players that have become the greatest on the planet at Anfield.
