Blood Red: Will Jurgen Klopp admit defeat in his Thiago experiment as race for a top-four finish intensifies Apr 16, 2021

Show notes

Following elimination from the Champions League, Liverpool have seven Premier League games left to secure qualification for next season’s top European competition. The first of those games sees Jurgen Klopp’s Reds travel to Elland Road to take on Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United, who are fresh from a win over Manchester City. So join Matt Addison, Paul Gorst, Joe Rimmer and David Lynch to preview that match and also discuss Thiago Alcantara’s omission from the midweek draw with Real Madrid, which saw Liverpool exit the Champions League, and ponder what it could mean for the midfielder's long-term future at Anfield. And as always, we finish off with our team selector and match prediction ahead of the visit to Elland Road. Enjoy.

Analysing Anfield: Kabak and Mane questions, unpredictable Leeds, and how Raphinha could be Klopp's next Salah Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

Liverpool might be out of the Champions League but they still have plenty to play for this season, starting with Leeds United on Monday night. So on the latest Analysing Anfield podcast, Josh Williams and David Hughes assess what went wrong in the Real Madrid second leg at Anfield, including pondering how Liverpool can fix Sadio Mane's form, before they give insight into what to expect from Marcelo Bielsa’s side. Our hosts talk through the threat of Leeds forward Raphinha, who has been linked with a transfer move to Liverpool as a possible Mohamed Salah successor, and why the Brazilian would be a good fit under Jurgen Klopp, as well as taking a wider look at whether a squad rebuild is needed sooner rather than later after what so far has been a difficult campaign.

Gini Wijnaldum looks set to be leaving on a free transfer, so how do Liverpool replace him - do they need to make a midfield signing, and what type of player should that be? In attack, Divock Origi, Xherdan Shaqiri and Takumi Minamino could all depart. Liverpool will aim for a Diogo Jota-type arrival for replacing one of those players - and Harvey Elliott, on loan for the season at Blackburn, should not be forgotten. There will not be wholesale changes made with the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez among those to return to the side next season after long-term injuries, but centre-back is a sure-fire area for a transfer deal to take place, with Ibrahima Konate in contention to fill that gap and Ozan Kabak's purchase option another thing to consider after his loan spell.
