Here is every word that Heskey said about Liverpool ahead of kick-off at Anfield against Wolves.

On Liverpool’s form

“A team in transition, you’ve got young players then you’ve got midfielders - that looks like - it’s ageing in front of our eyes.

“It looks like it’s ageing in front of you, then the injury list is quite long.”

On weight of Liverpool shirt

“You do feel the weight when you come in front of these fans but they will back you, that is what is great about here, they will keep helping you.

“One thing you don’t want to do is hide, you can see he’s making all them runs.”

On Darwin Nunez

“That’s what happens with forwards one that comes off the back of your leg and goes in, that’s when you get on a bit of a run.

“For me, I’d be more worried if he wasn’t getting them chances, wasn’t making them runs to get into the box.”

On Cody Gakpo

“He was linked to a number of clubs, a prospect.

“He can play in several positions, that versatility helps a hell of a lot, playing on the wing, up front, he’s quick and dynamic.”
