==Reception== Former Liverpool player [[Mark Lawrenson]] criticised the programme claiming that Anfield bosses of old would be "turning in their graves". The programme however was received well by a number of fans who believed it was a good way to give Liverpool some good press. The coverage of the Liverpool vs Roma game in Boston gave fans more of an insight into what went on when staff and players alike prepare on a pre-season tour.<ref>{{cite web|last=Lawrenson|first=Mark|title=Rodgers must be off his head to do this TV drivel|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/the-mark-lawrenson-column-brendan-rodgers-1366815|work=Mirror Online|publisher=Trinity Mirror plc|accessdate=26 October 2012|date=8 October 2012}}</ref>
