The Liverpool.com Podcast: Is Mohamed Salah underappreciated? | And the move Jurgen Klopp cannot make Mar 13, 2021

Show notes

Join Dan Morgan, Ollie Connolly and Mark Wakefield as they talk Fabinho, Liverpool’s captaincy and Mohamed Salah. Jurgen Klopp moved Fabinho forward into his favoured No 6 role in the Champions League win over RB Leipzig. It was a decision that certainly paid off but can the Reds boss afford to no longer consider the Brazilian as a centre-back option? The panel discuss that, and the performances of Ozan Kabak and Dayot Upamecano, before talk turns to why Mohamed Salah was not made captain for the second-leg victory given Jordan Henderson, Virgil van Dijk and James Milner were all unavailable. Salah actually dominates the second half of the podcast with Dan, Ollie and Mark also questioning whether the Egyptian King truly gets the plaudits he deserves for his incredible goalscoring exploits from the wing.

Blood Red: The Fabinho role and why Klopp must trust in Phillips and Kabak Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

Fabinho was back to his best as his performance helped transform Liverpool in midweek - and now the task is to take that form into Monday's match against Wolves. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp might have his template for the Premier League after the Champions League win over RB Leipzig, with Ozan Kabak and Nat Phillips solid enough to warrant another chance. Host Matt Addison is joined by Paul Gorst, David Lynch and Theo Squires to look back at Liverpool's last-16 win and assess whether that could represent a turning point in the season.

Under the Radar: Spotlight on Ibrahima Konate, the Liverpool-linked centre-back compared to Virgil van Dijk Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

Ahead of the Champions League last-16 second-leg tie against RB Leipzig on Wednesday, we get the lowdown on a player who Liverpool will be up against in Budapest, and who, if reports are to be believed, is a possible summer transfer target for Jurgen Klopp. Ibrahima Konate is thought to have a release clause similar - €40m - to fellow Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano, who is moving to Bayern Munich. Konate is being tipped to follow Upamecano in leaving the Bundesliga outfit in the near future - with Liverpool one of the clubs to have been linked with the 21-year-old Frenchman. So what type of player is he? Would he be worth the money? And would he sign for the Reds even without Champions League football? Matt Addison speaks to former team-mate of Liverpool boss Klopp, Guido Schafer, who is now a journalist for Leipzig-based newspaper Leipziger Volkszeitung, and then Josh Williams, our tactics and analytics writer, to find out whether there could - or should - be anything in links between the Premier League champions and Konate.

Analysing Anfield: Numbers don't lie for Liverpool as Steven Gerrard channels Jose Mourinho Mar 09, 2021

Show notes

After Liverpool lost to Chelsea and then Fulham, what do the numbers say about their current slump? Well, the pattern is interesting, if not particularly encouraging for the rest of the 2020/21 season. Join Josh Williams and David Hughes as they talk through the numbers, statistics and underlying metrics and question whether a change of tactics from Jurgen Klopp could be the answer - or even if it should have already been done. After that comes a look into Steven Gerrard's Rangers and the incredible job the Liverpool legend is doing in Scotland, with the metrics for his team favourable compared to any of the top clubs around Europe, particularly on the defensive side. There is then a preview of Liverpool's second-leg Champions League last-16 tie with RB Leipzig, and a look forward to Wolves in the Premier League on Monday night - with both matches, particularly the European one, potentially tricky in their own ways.

Show notes

Blood Red was invited to speak with RB Leipzig left-back Angelino ahead of the Bundesliga side's Champions League last-16 second-leg clash with Liverpool on Wednesday (March 10). The former Manchester City defender has faced Liverpool at their best before and says it is only a matter of time before the Reds get back to that level, while he was also scathing in his criticism of former manager at the Etihad Stadium, Pep Guardiola. Our own Matt Addison asked Angelino about Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and his side's chances of progressing to the Champions League quarter-finals, while there were also questions about Trent Alexander-Arnold and Leipzig's highly-rated manager Julian Nagelsmann. The Spaniard also revealed his thoughts on why Liverpool have struggled this season, praising Virgil van Dijk.
