Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Poetry in Motion: Curtis takes the Trent route as Schuurs impresses on audition and fans get set for Anfield return Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

Joint top of the Premier League and qualification to the Champions League last 16 signed, sealed and delivered – and all against the backdrop of a genuine injury crisis that sees nine first-team players currently sidelined. Little wonder, then, that the latest Poetry in Motion podcast, hosted as ever by Neil Fitzmaurice and featuring regular guests Dan Kay and Joe Rimmer, kicks off with a tribute to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side. The controversial draw at Brighton last weekend may have prevented the defending champions going clear at the summit of the Premier League, but spirits were lifted by the hard-fought and immensely enjoyable Champions League win over Ajax. Like most of our podcasts this week – and we make no excuse for this – Fitzy, Dan and Joe wax lyrical about Curtis Jones, applaud the character shown by Neco Williams, and wonder whether Caoimhin Kelleher should not only keep his place against Wolves this weekend, but actually be now considered Alisson’s number two. The aforementioned injury crisis is giving the likes of Kelleher, Williams and Jones more of a chance but the Reds do still look light at centre-back – despite the remarkable form of Fabinho – and Fitzy looks at some of the defenders who could be on Klopp’s radar next month and in particular Ajax youngster Perr Schuurs, who impressed at Anfield on Tuesday night. Speaking of Anfield, Liverpool will be able to welcome back 2,000 supporters for Sunday’s visit of Wolves, but Dan explains why, despite being a season-ticket holder, he decided against putting his name down for a ticket in the ballot, which leads into a discussion about what is, along with the lack of full or even half-full grounds at the moment, rubbish about football at the moment. Enjoy.

The Liverpool.com Podcast: Landmark night for Jones, Kelleher, Williams – and Liverpool’s season, too Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

Picture this: Curtis Jones played like he did on Tuesday night at Anfield, but for Ajax, and not Liverpool. Just imagine the fanfare that would have greeted his performance? Just imagine how much pundits would be saying he’s worth? It’s one of the big talking points of the latest Liverpool.com podcast with host Dan Morgan and guests Joel Rabinowitz and Mark Wakefield also touching on the performances of Jones’ fellow Academy graduates Caoimhin Kelleher and Neco Williams in the 1-0 win. Also on the agenda is the importance of sealing a place in the Champions League last-16 early plus what is set to be a ‘huge match’ with Wolves this Sunday. And the final part of the podcast previews some stories that will soon be coming up on the Liverpool.com website – and which will allow you to get involved, too, as the panels discuss their moment of the year; the player Liverpool have sold they’d have back now, and the goal they’ve celebrated the most in a stadium. Enjoy.

Post-Game: Liverpool 1 Ajax 0 | Curtis Jones and Caoimhin Kelleher star on proud night for the Academy as Reds book last-16 spot Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

A great night for Liverpool’s first team – and a great night for Liverpool’s Academy. Join Paul Wheelock as we react to the 1-0 win over Ajax at Anfield that ensured Jurgen Klopp’s side booked their place in the Champions League last-16 with a game to spare - and which also proved that the Reds' youth section continues to flourish. When Alisson Becker was ruled out before the match, it meant that Klopp was without NINE first-team players. But such is the faith that the Liverpool manager has in the talent emerging from the Academy, instead of replacing Alisson with Adrian, he went with Caoimhin Kelleher. And the 22-year-old Republic of Ireland international certainly did not let Klopp down on a night also to remember for Curtis Jones, who settled the tie with his first Champions League goal for the club. So after that frustrating and infuriating afternoon at Brighton, this is a very happy Post-Game podcast, featuring five fan callers, the verdict of the Liverpool ECHO’s Liverpool FC correspondent Paul Gorst, and Klopp’s post-match press conference in full. Enjoy.

Under The Radar: Spotlight on potential Liverpool transfer target Perr Schuurs Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to a new podcast on the Blood Red channel, 'Under the Radar', where we shine the spotlight on a potential Liverpool transfer target. And with the Reds taking on Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday night, we thought the perfect player to profile first is Perr Schuurs, who is expected to be in the Dutch side's line-up at Anfield. The 21-year-old centre-back impressed in the first group-stage meeting between the teams in Amsterdam in October, and since then he has been linked with a £27m move to Liverpool. But is Schuurs ready? And if he is, what kind of player would Jurgen Klopp be getting? To answer those questions Matt Addison speaks to Dutch football expert Michael Statham, as well as football scouting writer Josh Williams, who you will know as the co-host of our Analysing Anfield podcast. Enjoy - and if there are any players you would like us to profile in the future, email paul.wheelock@reachplc.com and/or matt.addison@reachplc.com.
