Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Diogo Jota returned to his former club Wolves to grab his first goal for Liverpool since his injury lay-off and help them to get back to winning ways in the Premier League. The strike, on the stroke of half-time, was the Portuguese's 10th of the campaign as Liverpool saw out the slender advantage. Worryingly, Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio was forced off on a stretcher after a late clash with Conor Coady. Join Guy Clarke for reaction to the win at Molineux as we hear from the ECHO's Liverpool correspondent Paul Gorst, Jurgen Klopp's post-match press conference, as well as regular contributors Hannah Pinnock, Mike Holt, Mark Baker and Ross Strachan. Enjoy.

Liverpool travel to Wolves off the back of a morale-boosting Champions League victory midweek - needing to translate that form into the Premier League. Matt Addison speaks to Birmingham Live's Wolves reporter Alex Dicken to get the lowdown from Molineux ahead of the clash between the sides. Diogo Jota is going back to his former club for the first time, with Pedro Neto the man who has stepped up to replace him. Raul Jiminez has been missing through injury, contributing to Wolves' poor performances in the league under Nuno Espirito Santo - and Alex says he has been as big a loss as any of the Reds stars who are out. Adama Traore was linked with a £100m move to some of Europe's top clubs, including Liverpool, last summer, but has only managed one assist and no goals in the league this season - though that does not tell the whole story. Enjoy.

As the summer transfer window gets closer, Liverpool have been linked with two high profile forwards in Erling Haaland and Paulo Dybala. Matt Addison joins Guy Clarke for the latest episode of The Agenda to discuss the links with the Borussia Dortmund and Juventus forwards. Is a centre forward top of Jurgen Klopp’s summer shopping list? How much would either Haaland or Dybala cost? And how important would Champions League football be in signing either of them? Enjoy.

At his press conference to preview Wolves v Liverpool in the Premier League, Jurgen Klopp gives an update on Roberto Firmino’s fitness and why Ben Davies has yet to feature. Liverpool boss Klopp also confirms that Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak will continue in the centre of defence against Wolves on Monday night – providing they don’t become the latest centre-backs to pick up injuries.

Join Dan Morgan, Ollie Connolly and Mark Wakefield as they talk Fabinho, Liverpool’s captaincy and Mohamed Salah. Jurgen Klopp moved Fabinho forward into his favoured No 6 role in the Champions League win over RB Leipzig. It was a decision that certainly paid off but can the Reds boss afford to no longer consider the Brazilian as a centre-back option? The panel discuss that, and the performances of Ozan Kabak and Dayot Upamecano, before talk turns to why Mohamed Salah was not made captain for the second-leg victory given Jordan Henderson, Virgil van Dijk and James Milner were all unavailable. Salah actually dominates the second half of the podcast with Dan, Ollie and Mark also questioning whether the Egyptian King truly gets the plaudits he deserves for his incredible goalscoring exploits from the wing.

Fabinho was back to his best as his performance helped transform Liverpool in midweek - and now the task is to take that form into Monday's match against Wolves. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp might have his template for the Premier League after the Champions League win over RB Leipzig, with Ozan Kabak and Nat Phillips solid enough to warrant another chance. Host Matt Addison is joined by Paul Gorst, David Lynch and Theo Squires to look back at Liverpool's last-16 win and assess whether that could represent a turning point in the season.

One year to the day since Liverpool were the last English club to welcome a capacity crowd to a game on home soil, Guy Clarke explores the impact the pandemic has had on each aspect of the Liverpool FC community. Paul Gorst, the ECHO’s Liverpool correspondent, explains the effect on working within football; chair of Spirit of Shankly, Joe Blott, talks about the campaigning that supporters’ groups across the country – including on Merseyside – have done; Dan Morgan, content editor of the Liverpool.com website, speaks as a fan and as a Kop season-ticket holder, while Dave Powell, the business of football writer at the ECHO, discusses the financial ramifications. Plus, there’s excerpts from Jurgen Klopp and Gini Wijnaldum, 12 months on from that Champions League match against Atletico Madrid at Anfield. Enjoy.

Ahead of the Champions League last-16 second-leg tie against RB Leipzig on Wednesday, we get the lowdown on a player who Liverpool will be up against in Budapest, and who, if reports are to be believed, is a possible summer transfer target for Jurgen Klopp. Ibrahima Konate is thought to have a release clause similar - €40m - to fellow Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano, who is moving to Bayern Munich. Konate is being tipped to follow Upamecano in leaving the Bundesliga outfit in the near future - with Liverpool one of the clubs to have been linked with the 21-year-old Frenchman. So what type of player is he? Would he be worth the money? And would he sign for the Reds even without Champions League football? Matt Addison speaks to former team-mate of Liverpool boss Klopp, Guido Schafer, who is now a journalist for Leipzig-based newspaper Leipziger Volkszeitung, and then Josh Williams, our tactics and analytics writer, to find out whether there could - or should - be anything in links between the Premier League champions and Konate.

After Liverpool lost to Chelsea and then Fulham, what do the numbers say about their current slump? Well, the pattern is interesting, if not particularly encouraging for the rest of the 2020/21 season. Join Josh Williams and David Hughes as they talk through the numbers, statistics and underlying metrics and question whether a change of tactics from Jurgen Klopp could be the answer - or even if it should have already been done. After that comes a look into Steven Gerrard's Rangers and the incredible job the Liverpool legend is doing in Scotland, with the metrics for his team favourable compared to any of the top clubs around Europe, particularly on the defensive side. There is then a preview of Liverpool's second-leg Champions League last-16 tie with RB Leipzig, and a look forward to Wolves in the Premier League on Monday night - with both matches, particularly the European one, potentially tricky in their own ways.
