Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Analysing Anfield: What to remember about Thiago | Klopp’s Fabinho question | And were Carra and Neville right about Salah? May 12, 2021

Show notes

Josh Williams and Dave Hughes return with the latest Analysing Anfield podcast to look back on the win over Southampton, preview the double-header with Manchester United and West Brom, and pick their Premier League team of the season. To the naked eye it appeared Liverpool’s struggled at times in Saturday night’s 2-0 triumph over the Saints. But what do the underlying numbers say? Goalkeeper Alisson Becker was at his brilliant best in that match but he had to share the headlines with Thiago Alcantara after the midfielder scored his first goal for the club. Josh and Dave go in-depth on both players before turning their attention to Thursday’s rearranged trip to Old Trafford, and the big selection decision Jurgen Klopp has over Fabinho, and Sunday’s encounter at relegated West Brom, for whom Matheus Pereira is one to keep an eye on. And to finish another brilliant listen, our hosts follow in the footsteps of Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville and each pick their Premier League team of the season. Find out if they find a place for Liverpool’s brilliant top scorer Mohamed Salah, unlike the Sky Sports duo...

The Agenda: Liverpool’s defensive transfer dilemma | Konate, Kabak, Phillips May 11, 2021

Show notes

Liverpool still have four games to play as they try and get into the Champions League spots, but behind the scenes, transfer plans will be taking shape. Nat Phillips, Ozan Kabak and Rhys Williams have all filled in for the injured Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip this season, and Ben Davies is at the club, too, but is yet to make his debut. So with all those names to muddle through, plus Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, who have both dropped into the backline at times as well, how will Jurgen Klopp and Michael Edwards play things in the transfer market come the summer? Matt Addison is joined by Marcus Banks as they analyse the situation Liverpool must assess, and debate which central defenders should stay or leave the club this summer - and who could possibly be signed, too, with Ibrahima Konate heavily linked with a move to Anfield.

Dan Atherton left Liverpool last summer having trained with the first-team and gone on the pre-season tour to the US just 12 months prior to that. And in this exclusive chat with Blood Red’s Matt Addison, the young goalkeeper reveals the struggle of trying to find a new club in the middle of a pandemic, and how TikTok is helping him achieve his future career aims. As a lifelong Liverpool fan, Dan explains what it was like to train with Alisson Becker, Jordan Henderson, Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Co under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp, Pep Lijnders and goalkeeping coach John Achterberg. He also details what it was like to go on a pre-season tour to Boston and New York with the first team in 2019 - having weeks earlier earlier come on as a substitute as an outfield player against Tranmere after Paul Glatzel got injured! - and gives us the lowdown on some of the young starlets he played with during his Academy days, including Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Neco Williams.

Show notes

Two years to the day since Liverpool famously beat Barcelona 4-0 in the Champions League, the latest Blood Red podcast looks at what’s next for the heroes of that famous win.

Minamino will return to Liverpool in the summer after his Saints loan spell ends but does he have a long-term part to play under Jurgen Klopp? The panel give their opinion on that, the fight for the top four, an all-English Champions League final, and their usual team and score predictions. Enjoy.
