Summary

Liverpool throw-in coach Thomas Gronnemark has worked with the Premier League champions for two seasons - but he has also been employed by both Ajax and FC Midtjylland in the past. So who better to get the lowdown on two of Liverpool's Group D Champions League opponents than the Dane ahead of the trip to the Netherlands to take on Ajax in their opening match on Wednesday night? Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff and players will certainly be taking note. Thomas also explains why he feels FIFA and Arsene Wenger's proposed law changes would be bad not only for Liverpool, but also for football more widely, and why he has gone back on the suggestion that he would not work for one of the Reds' top-six Premier League rivals.
