Hosts Mick and Jay welcomed Gareth Roberts from the Anfield Wrap on to The Kopite podcast to discuss the Reds recent fortunes. The lads first discussed the great away 2-1 win at Villa and dissected the performance of Sadio Mane and why the criticism levied at him from Pep Guardiola will only fire him up for the upcoming clash against Manchester City on Sunday. They went on to discuss the missing Fabinho and how that effected the team and how Lallana performed in his absence. The trio then glided over the 2-1 Genk win as it was won in a workmanlike manner and talked about how the game seemed nothing but a warm-up to the main event on Sunday. Manchester City was then the topic of conversation and the boys went into detail about who will start out of Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez and whether Oxlade-Chamberlain deserves a place in the starting XI after recent excellent performances. The guys then finished with Robbo telling us about his start into the fan media arena and how his ‘Well Red’ fanzine helped shape and push his popularity among LFC fans. Robbo went on to discuss the fortunes of The Anfield Wrap and how fan-driven content will always be welcomed.
