The Anfield Wrap · Aston Villa v Liverpool: Pre Match Warm Up · 14 May 2026 podcast

I'm intrigued by the whole leadership and standards thing because it's talked about a lot now in the context of the manager.

But obviously in the context of maybe some of the players who might be leaving the club, where I find it hard to square a little bit is that there's no doubt some of those senior players have been unbelievable leaders in the dressing room because you get that sense from an Alisson, from a Salah, from a Robertson, from a Van Dijk, etc.

Now, potentially a number of them are going to leave and people will talk about things like, well, you're losing a huge kind of part of the leadership.

in terms of what's been good for Liverpool but then when it becomes slightly more difficult as that they've all been there this season and yet there's been a distinct lack of leadership both maybe you'd say from the manager because of how things have played out this season but also at times on the pitch and some of those lads I've mentioned have been on the fucking pitch so where do you land with that because I am finding this one a bit of a tricky one to navigate if I'm honest

One of those senior players, Josh, is Canarte.

Now, he falls into that category.

He's been around Liverpool for a number of years.

Obviously, he's still relatively young as well.

But Beth, in the press conference, asked a question about his contract and she got the answer she expected, which is no news.

Are you a little bit surprised that maybe that's not got done?

Because there were certainly kind of noises from the player that actually we weren't too far away from seeing this kind of

Yeah, he wasn't quite as harsh this time as maybe he's been in other press conferences.

But I think it's just a really sad one, if I'm honest, that Harvey's gone somewhere.

And listen, this can happen, so it's not necessarily Liverpool's fault and it's not Slott's fault that he's not played at Aston Villa more.

But it just feels like for a talented footballer, and you can debate whether you think he's good enough for Liverpool's first team or not, I get that.

But it's just a bit sad that a young, talented footballer has gone somewhere and it just hasn't worked out for him.

Aston Villa then, Sean, on Friday.

You're going to get into a bit of tactical stuff a little bit later on.

We're going to hear from Tom Fahey soon as well.

But just in terms of that fixture, listen, Villa have got arguably bigger fish to fry.
