Blood Red: Joel Matip's latest injury setback leaves Liverpool with clear January transfer need Dec 28, 2020

Show notes

Liverpool were left frustrated by Sam Allardyce's West Brom on Sunday and are also waiting to determine the extent of Joel Matip's adductor injury. Joining host Guy Clarke are Ian Doyle, Sean Bradbury and Matt Addison for the latest Blood Red podcast to talk about what Liverpool must do in January regardless of how long Matip's latest injury issue keeps him out for. With Fabinho, Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips the only central defenders currently fit for Jurgen Klopp, Michael Edwards and Co have a big decision to make in the transfer market next month, or risk jeopardising the good position the Reds find themselves in. The panel also discuss the unfair criticism levelled at 19-year-old midfielder Curtis Jones, plus Liverpool's ability to break down low-lying defensive teams, before they pick their starting XIs for Newcastle United on Wednesday, and predict the result of that game.

Xabi Alonso special: How former Liverpool maestro is copying Guardiola, Benitez and more en route to top-level management Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

Former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich star Xabi Alonso is doing a superb job in charge of third-tier Spanish side Real Sociedad B. The 39-year-old worked under Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Rafa Benitez and more during his playing career, and is now proving to be a top coach in his own right, with bits of each of them evident, at the club where he started his career. Matt Addison speaks to Spanish football experts Alan Feehely and Colin Millar to get the lowdown on Alonso's season-and-a-bit as a coach - finding out exactly how his team are playing, and why he has been so successful to date. What's the long-term plan for Alonso in management? And could he one day end up in the dugout at Anfield? At the very least, his style, tactics and development of players makes the topic of Alonso as Reds boss something that will inevitably come up on the agenda at some point in the future.
