Hello everybody this is your weekly Liverpool FC blood red podcast I'm Andy

Kelly and we're mob handed today I'll introduce everyone who's with me I've got

Dan Kaye with me I've got Christian Walsh I've got Ian Doyle back from three weeks in

sunny St Helens on holiday and I'm Paul Philbin. While the US Tour is over

last I heard James Pierce was back this side of the pond and

Running around speak retail park trying to find the presence for his family didn't get in America

So that's James I would if you're listening to this

the Pierce family the US tour doily overall felt like a really positive tour ended on a bit of a down note with the Roma game

which brought up a few issues but overall it felt like they got what they wanted over there

but what did they want Well I think they want

yeah they wanted fitness good facilities team bonding that seemed to go well

according to Percy who was obviously over there for us.

Well what was interesting is that having been on some of these tours in the past is that there's an

awful lot of publicity and PR that the players have to crack on with but it doesn't seem to have been as much of that this time and I think

Yogan Clop said that he wanted his players to he wanted his plays together so he could actually

you know shock or actually train train them and organize them and while he wasn't too happy with the performance against Roma

there were extenuating circumstances such as them you know being tired and there was

always a suggestion that was like a game that was kind of just lobbed on the end

as a bit of a favor for somebody he wanted one more game I think did he actually

want one well yeah well they probably regrets it a little bit now I suspect

but other than that you know the

the towards done you can't in terms of the actual results you you probably learn more
