Allez Les Rouges: Pre-season, Anfield changes and the powerful bond that could inspire Liverpool to glory Aug 07, 2021

Show notes

Peter Hooton is joined by regular guest John Nicolson, along with journalist Steph Jones and Spirit of Shankly secretary Graham Smith for the latest edition of the excellent Allez Les Rouges podcast. They start by previewing Liverpool’s pre-season so far and by looking ahead to the final friendies against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday and then Osasuna on Monday at Anfield. The first rails seats, in the Kop, will be in place for those games, and the panel discuss that, plus the new ticketing system, before looking at some welcome changes to VAR. And one week before the season kicks off with the trip to Norwich City, Peter asks his guests for their hopes for the new campaign, which brings a reminder of something that Manchester City, Chelsea and their other big-spending rivals don’t have.

Post-Game: Liverpool beat Bologna 2-0 and then 1-0 in Evian before Lionel Messi Barcelona departure announced Aug 05, 2021

Show notes

Paul Gorst joins Matt Addison for the Post-Game podcast to react to Liverpool's 2-0 and 1-0 wins over Bologna - and the huge news that Lionel Messi is leaving Barcelona. Diogo Jota, Sadio Mane and Takumi Minamino were on the scoresheet in Evian while there were also impressive performances from the likes of Kostas Tsimikas and Kaide Gordon. A further boost came in the fact that Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez both came through 43 minutes as they stepped up their returns from long-term injuries. And given it has just been announced that six-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi will leave Barcelona after 21 years, Paul and Matt give their thoughts on that, too.
