In this week’s episode of Scouser Tommies, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid try to get their heads around a mad 24 hours in Liverpool, after the Reds attempted to break the British transfer record only for a spanner in the works to reportedly try and mess it all up. At the time of recording nobody knew if the spanner would stop interfering and let the deal go through, or if the plastic rivals would be having flags printed to celebrate it as a victory, but it’s victories on the pitch that matter most, and those same ‘rivals’ are the first challenge for Klopp’s side this new season. Has the boss done all he could to get the lads ready, not just for this game but for the long slog ahead? It's also a good time for predictions, but there's no saying the predictions are any good.
