The Anfield Wrap · A Loss To Leeds Finishes The Pre-Season Tour | The Anfield Wrap · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

He doesn't see him as a Liverpool striker because he doesn't look like he works as hard.

And I say look because sometimes a perception is everything.

He doesn't press like someone like a Firmino or a Mane.

but then you've got to use him correctly haven't you and I think what Liverpool failed to do last season was get the ball to him quickly and I think that's what Newcastle did I think that's what when he was at Sociedad when the Swedish do it to get the ball to him quickly and I think that was what was key last night when Fertz got the ball and it was make sure he got it he received it early you've just said about that pass I remember it was a proper stinger fizzled in but again too much on it by the way but it was get it to him quickly and then it unsettled the defence and exactly how Areola wants to play

I totally agree.

I think last season, even when he did play, I couldn't see any kind of plan of how he'd get on the ball.

It didn't feel like it was ever worked out.

Maybe it's back to your point around the training, lack of a coherent plan on the training field, but it just didn't feel like there was any real sense of...

how we get Alexandre Isaac, one of the best number 9s in the business, how we get him the ball on a regular basis, he was feeding off scraps, even when he did pop up with the odd goal, he was normally creating it or reacting to a rebound and stuff, so yeah I agree, that did feel different last night.

In terms of Rio and Gamoa John, what have you made of his performance against Leeds but also him on the tour, he's played both sides throughout the games, I thought he was pretty lively again.

He's still paying per letter because of your arse.

Again, in terms of him, you know, we're not too dissimilar to Trae.

We know he's a little bit ahead in his journey compared to Trae Nione, but he doesn't turn 18 until he plays in Nuslingham Forest.

So he's still a kid.

So I saw Neil having some back and forth on the internet before the round.

how many appearances someone like Trey should get across the course of a season Premier League Champions League I think it'll end up being more than that Trey on Rio Rio sorry 15 and people will come back and say he signed a new deal he's not going to be happy with 15

But I understand the point in terms of you don't want to flog them.

We've all seen footballers who are of a certain age who by the time they get to their early 20s, maybe the best days are behind them because they've just played too much football or you can already start to see signs where they've picked up one or two injuries.

So Liverpool, whilst being excited about them, they've got to be careful with them as well.

You can't just play them and play them and play them because you haven't signed anyone else.
