The Wataru Endo Deal Takes the Summer Window To 6 out of 10
I recall playing Championship manager about 25 years ago, where I would spend just as long looking at who I could sign, rather than play actual games of football. My teenage years (and into adulthood) had me able to name and describe certain continental footballers, due purely to my hours of participation in the addictive football management game.

The discussion came about after Jurgen Klopp himself talked about the fixture congestion last week. I'll have my say in the Kauser Korner segment also! Here's what I asked:

VIDEO: Nina Kauser Show - Have Liverpool Turned A Corner?
The Nina Kauser show on YouTube is back! For my fifth Anfield Index TV show I decided to discuss whether Liverpool are out of their poor run of form in the Premier League that has seen a draw away to Sunderland, a draw against Manchester United, a loss to Swansea, a draw to Chelsea and a loss to Hull City so far in 2017! It's always easier after a win and after that performance of such quality from Liverpool and I received a …
VIDEO: Nina Kauser Reflects on Liverpool's loss to Swansea
The Nina Kauser show on YouTube is back! For my fourth Anfield Index TV show I decided to discuss Liverpool's poor performance at home to Swansea City as the Swans shocked the Anfield faithful and lost their unbeaten record at Anfield.
