The season is over, but we're going to start with a gutter. We are here in association with Saley. If you're going abroad this summer, download the Saley app and find the package that suits the place that you're going to go so that you've got free use of your phone all the time whilst you're abroad for a very, very, very reasonable small fee. If you use the code T-A-W at the time of exit when you pay for it, you'll also get that fee reduced further 15%. It's a very, very good product indeed. I use it when I go abroad. i've also used the customer service which has been tremendous i am a genuine uh fan of salee so do check it out uh when you're thinking about your summer trip you're on a way soon i am yeah absolutely excellent stuff uh good to know and you can see with that we're just doing conversions one-on-one and use the code taw and go from there uh joel joel penny andy bell and uh carl carpac with me
the season is over, which means that we can assess where we are. Now, this is a bit of a risk. Very rarely pre-record a day before transfer gutter shows at the Anfield Wrap because you think that it moves quite quickly. But I wanted to do the end of season thing to talk about where the gaps are and then go from there. Rob's also away. He's away for a few days, by the way. It's not like he's back tomorrow and could therefore have done it. So this is coming out on Tuesday morning. We're recording this right now at 3pm on Monday afternoon. If anything happens in the meantime, then honestly, it'll be another reason for me to be annoyed by Liverpool Football Club. It's a bank holiday, lads. That's what I would have thought the way we should have adopted.
It's very hot as well, although it's nice and cool in the studio. So we'll talk about what's missing. We'll talk about where we're concerned, what it is that we think needs to be different. Joel, I'll start with you. I don't think it's a complicated one, to be honest with you. But where would you like to see Liverpool focus their efforts, their investment this summer?
for me the priority has got to be the wingers um you know i'm not saying anything to outline this there i think that would be uh what everyone else is looking for and i think you know alongside wingers the word you want in front of it is fast you know we want fast wingers um and then we can begin to to maybe have some sort of a coherent attack um so yeah fast wingers is where i really want to sort of focus how many fast wingers do you think they need So this is where it gets, you know, I think one of the most difficult things with Salah, well, it might be the output, but I think you can probably make up output in different areas, you know, the two number nines, maybe the creative output from the likes of Vert, but I think what you're really going to miss is robustness.
I mean, his availability across the seven, eight seasons or however many it's been, it's just staggering, really. The fact that he's not really had any long-term injury, I mean, his biggest absence has always been... you know, through AFCON. So what we need is someone who's going to be there and is going to be able to start, you know, 40 games a season or so. Now, how you assess that in the market is obviously going to be a bit difficult, but I think in terms of numbers, you're probably going to have to need three just to make sure, you know, just in case anything does happen with injuries or fitness because replacing that availability from Salah is going to be really difficult going forward.
three wingers is joel's first uh foray into this andy how many firstly do you agree on the need for fast wingers i suspect you will because you've got eyes but do you also feel as though three is the number
I do, yeah. I just think that football can, in some ways, it's very complicated and very complex in terms of the tactics. In other ways, it is just, well, actually, 10 years ago, if you wanted to play a high line against Liverpool, we could just ping a ball over the top and Salah and Mane will run onto it.
