Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Paul Gorst, Sean Bradbury and Matt Addison join Guy Clarke for the Blood Red podcast after Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 2-0 to book their place in the Champions League before saying goodbye to Gini Wijnaldum. The panel look back on the Sadio Mane-inspired win over Palace, and the season as a whole, before asking what Liverpool’s superb form in the run-in means for their rivals, like Manchester City and Manchester United, going into the 2020-21 campaign. But the Reds will start next season without Wijnaldum, whose anticipated departure has now been confirmed. But should the midfielder be leaving when it’s clear he wants to stay? And how will he be replaced? Those questions are answered before Gorsty, Sean and Matt look at what other transfer business Jurgen Klopp and Michael Edwards will have to do over the summer. Enjoy.

Liverpool know a victory over Crystal Palace today will almost certainly be enough to seal qualification for the Champions League - and 10,000 fans will be inside Anfield to cheer them over the line. So is there anything that Palace and their departing manager Roy Hodgson can do to stop the Reds? To answer that question, Matt Addison speaks to comedian, writer and Eagles fan Kevin Day for the final Behind Enemy Lines podcast of the season. They discuss all the big talking points heading into the big game, including the decision of Hodgson to call time on his Palace career after the meeting at his former club. There are plenty more Liverpool links in the Palace side, too, with Christian Benteke, Mamadou Sakho and Martin Kelly among their ranks. And, as Day explains, the form of Benteke is something Nat Phillips and Co will have to be wary of this afternoon.

Stand-in host Guy Clarke joins Josh Williams for the latest edition of Analysing Anfield to assess the 3-0 win at Burnley, and the starring roles played by Nat Phillips and Thiago Alcantara, and preview Liverpool’s final game of the season at home to Crystal Palace. Win that one and the Reds will almost certainly book their place in next season’s Champions League. But after a testing campaign, do the underlying numbers suggest they would deserve that? Josh digs deep into the statistics to answer that question as well as going in-depth on Phillips and Thiago, who along with Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah, have been the driving forces behind Liverpool’s late-season resurgence. It’s a resurgence that would be capped with victory over Palace on Sunday. The Eagles have little to play for, but in what will be Roy Hodgson’s final match in charge, who could pose a threat to Jurgen Klopp’s top-four chasing side? Enjoy.

Neil Fitzmaurice is joined by Paul Gorst and Sean Bradbury for a positively upbeat edition of the Poetry in Motion podcast. Recorded the morning after the 3-0 win over urnley which moved Liverpool into fourth place with one game to play, and extended their unbeaten run to nine matches, Fitzy asks his guests just what are the reasons for this remarkable last-season surge that should secure Champions League football? Fabinho, Nat Phillips and a settled defence is one area discussed, as is the return to goalscoring form of Roberto Firmino, the growing influence of Thiago, and the significance of the victory at Old Trafford. But that 4-2 win over Manchester United was superseded by what happened at the Hawthorns at the weekend when Alisson sealed an extraordinary three points over West Brom by becoming the first Liverpool goalkeeper in the club's history to score a goal. Fitzy, Gorsty and Joe revel in that incredible moment before looking back on the Burnley success, which included a goal for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, as well as asking what's happening with Naby Keita, and anticipating a crazy decision from Gareth Southgate over Trent Alexander-Arnold. Enjoy.
