Liverpool were punished for their wastefulness in front of goal against Newcastle United as they missed countless opportunities to score before conceding a late equaliser via Joe Willock, leaving their top-four hopes hanging by a thread. And on the latest Blood Red podcast, Matt Addison is joined by Joe Rimmer and Theo Squires as they discuss the two costly dropped points against Steve Bruce’s men, and assess where that point leaves their chances of Champions League qualification.
With Jurgen Klopp only likely to have three seasons remaining at Anfield after this one, how big a blow would it be to him and his squad were they to be outside of Europe’s top competition for at least a third of that time?

As the dust settles on the proposals for a European Super League, the implications for Liverpool, FSG and beyond are only just beginning. So for the latest edition of The Bottom Line podcast, Matt Addison and Dave Powell are joined by European football executive and investor, Jordan Gardner, who has roles with Swansea City and Dundalk, as well as Danish Super League side Helsingor. Discussing the plans from the point of view of a US investor, Jordan attempts to pull apart exactly why John W Henry and Co made their move. He explains why the European Super League would have been so flawed, and outlining why it would have been calamitous for those outside of the 'big six' in the Premier League, including the team he is a minority stakeholder in, Swansea, and what comes next for the clubs involved now the proposals have been quashed. There is also a chat about FSG more generally, including why 'FSG Out' is not necessarily a good stance to take, how fans could have more influence at the top level of the game, whether or not the German model of '50+1' would be a sensible legislation to bring in, and finally, the reformed Champions League structure which has been devised by UEFA.

Welcome to the Post-Game podcast to react to a bad end to a bad week. Liverpool let two points slip from their grasp in having to draw 1-1 at Leeds United on Monday night. But at that time it didn’t seem to matter so much given the spectre of the European Super League that was controversially endorsed by the club’s owners FSG. Now thanks to the actions of fans, players and managers, including Liverpool boss JUrgen Klopp and captain Jordan Henderson, plans for the breakaway league collapsed almost as quickly they had been unveiled. That meant today’s visit of Newcastle United to Anfield took on renewed significance – as victory would have taken the Reds into fourth place. But, just like against Leeds, they conceded late on, and had to settle for a 1-1 draw that means their hopes of earning a place in next season’s Champions League are now in the balance. We get the verdicts of the Liverpool ECHO’s LFC correspondent Paul Gorst, plus Reds fans Mark Baker, Mike Holt and Owen Thomas, and we hear Klopp’s post-match press conference in full.
