It is the Anfield rap, I'm Neil Atkinson with me.

I've got Damian Kavana, Jamie Karraga and Gareth Roberts.

We're going to cover the first Frandy against Athletic Bilbao, the season to come for

Liverpool and the first three games sort of mini challenge that Liverpool get there,

Noritra Wake, Burnley home, Chelsea Home.

We're also going to have a bit of a chat about off loads and players in this current climate where all of a sudden

this weekend and the stuff around messy and Barcelona has made it crystal clear every single

big team in Europe is looking to do the same thing but the first thing we got Damien was we got back into a full-am field and felt brilliant.

It really did feel brilliant and you know we'll get into the performances and all of that in a minute or two but

for me the first thing was you know just

being backing full grounds and everything that means oh yeah just to be

amongst friends doing what you love doing the most after you've done your work and you've enjoyed your time with your family.

It's you know every other sapp you on your half day off that's what you live for isn't it?

It's a football fan.

And seeing people smiling and being together and just you know I'm not overly

and I don't go to all the preseason friendlies that Liverpool get involved with it's

never been my thing you're always busy you know I'm not busy joining a regular

season it's sort of like you know I feel like it's a bit of an indulgence.

But I couldn't wait to be there yesterday.

Yeah.

And it was just a great atmosphere.
