It is the Anfield Wrap. We are live. It is Monday at 12 o'clock. We will be live every day this week at 12 o'clock. Today it is the Anfield Wrap. Tomorrow, pre-match. No, under the lights, it's European and Ian Ryan is back for it. Huge Ian. 12 o'clock tomorrow. You looking forward to it?
Can't wait. There we are. I mean, it is kind of like pre-match warm-up, really, but it is under the lights because it's a European game and got a good crew, so yeah, should be good.
Should be good indeed. Then we've got Tour Unwrapped on Wednesday, which I think I'm going to be hosting because the way in which that crookie has crumbled. On Thursday, Midweek Extra should be the absolute business as well. That's coming to you on Thursday. And then on Friday, back with Friday Live. So everything that you need, lives all the way through the week at the Anfield Rap, 12 noon.
How did Alexander Isak’s two goals change the perception of Liverpool’s new striker?
Do check them out there. Today we are in association with TNT Sports and their Champions League coverage. More to come on that, which is exciting. Coming up, we've got Ipswich Town, Richard Hughes, Atletico Madrid, and you've heard Ian Ryan, I've got Rob Gutman, and I've got Joel Penny. I'm going to end the show with a conversation with a guy called Paul Finney, who was part of the four-year planned film that happened around QPR when Amit Bharti was there. And I recorded this conversation with Paul some time ago, and I'll be dead honest, I thought we put it out. And Paul emailed the other day and went, has that gone out? And then we checked and it hadn't. Look, there's been a lot going on. New studio, lives, all that sort of stuff.
So that's going to come at the end of this. It's a really interesting conversation about Amapartia's time at QPR. But we will start off with Ipswich Town 0, Liverpool 2. We will start off with Mr. Rob Cutman. He was there because you need to start off with Alexander Izak. because it defines everything, Rob, I would argue, over the course of the game. It is the two goals, the two finishes. It's what you've wanted from them. It's what we got from them. It is just a tremendous display of being a top-quality centre-forward.
Yeah, and we've waited for it. We've been made to wait. But top strikers define top teams. It's a cliché. I think when buying Alexander Isak, that's what we hope to do, to move past the Mo Salah era in a sort of structured way towards having a new focal point and a new superstar striker. And that just didn't happen for various reasons last season. And at times what was worrying, I think, even into the early part of the season is although you could see he's clearly a good footballer, we saw some goals around the World Cup, we wondered if we'd ever get the striker that we'd seen at Newcastle that would justify 125 million fee. And we did. The two goals were ridiculous goals. The only elite strikers, and I mean, to use a term I don't like, generational talents are capable of.
It actually made me think, and some people will think this is a weird shout, it felt like, oh, we've got a real striker again for the first time since, I'm going to say, Daniel Sturridge. That sounds like I'm erasing Mo Salah's record-breaking career. I'm not. But Mo Salah and Sadio Mane, to a lesser degree, were forces of nature who posted incredible numbers, especially Salah. But neither was a striker in the pure sense of how we know a striker in the history of the game. I think that might be fair to say. I mean, Glenn Hoddle once got pilloried for saying Michael Owen wasn't a classical striker, in a sense. And Although he was made to look stupid because Owen got so many goals and scored so many fantastic goals, to this day I still know what he meant.
A classical striker, you know it when you see it, they're capable of improbable finishes.
