Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Josh Williams and David Hughes are back with a second Analysing Anfield podcast in as many days as they review Liverpool’s 2-2 draw at Everton and preview the Champions League opener at Ajax and Saturday’s visit of Sheffield United to Anfield. Monday’s special edition focused on how Liverpool are going to cope without Virgil van Dijk after the world’s best centre-back suffered a serious knee injury in the Merseyside derby. One of the cases put forward here regards new midfielder Thiago Alcantara, whose magnificent display against Everton is analysed in depth, as are the performances of stand-in goalkeeper Adrian and Joe Gomez and Joel Matip, who will now have to shoulder the burden in van Dijk’s absence. However, Josh explains why it may make more sense to put Fabinho back there. Talk then turns to Wednesday’s trip to Ajax, and why it could be another thrilling match in a season packed full of them, and this weekend’s Premier League clash with Sheffield United, which will see the swift return of Rhian Brewster to Liverpool. But with van Dijk sidelined, out hosts believe it’s another Blades forward that could pose a bigger problem. Enjoy.

After a busy transfer window, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano joins Matt Addison to speak about the Champions League - and Liverpool's chances of winning the tournament. On the agenda are all of the big rivals the Reds will have to beat around Europe in order to claim their seventh European Cup, including Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, and PSG. Which of those teams have strengthened the most since last season? Does the Thiago Alcantara transfer switch the odds in favour of Liverpool in 2020/21? And which players should football fans watch out for? As well as talking all things Champions League, Fabrizio and Matt also discuss potential future transfer moves for the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, who could both be on the move next summer, and who both have been linked with Liverpool at times in the past. Enjoy!

How do Liverpool replace Virgil van Dijk? With the news that the Netherlands captain is set to undergo surgery on an ACL injury which could keep him out for the rest of the season, Josh Williams and David Hughes host a special episode of Analysing Anfield to assess the options Jurgen Klopp has in front of him. Joe Gomez and Joel Matip appear the obvious candidates, but could Fabinho or even RB Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano be the man to replace Van Dijk in Liverpool's defence?

The Blood Red podcast reacts to the news that Jordan Pickford will not be banned for his horror tackle on Virgil van Dijk; that Alisson Becker could be back by the end of the month, and that Joel Matip has today undergone a scan. If Matip’s leg injury proves serious that means Liverpool could be down to one fit recognised centre-back for Wednesday’s Champions League opener with Ajax after Van Dijk sustained a serious injury at the hands of Pickford in Saturday’s 2-2 Merseyside derby draw with Everton at Goodison Park. But some much-needed good news for Jurgen Klopp comes in the fact that goalkeeper Alisson is making good progress in his return from injury and could even be fit to face West Ham United at Anfield on Saturday, October 31. Ian Doyle, Joe Rimmer, Connor Dunn and host Matt Addison discuss all that as well as reviewing the controversial clash with Everton and previewing the trip to Amsterdam to take on Ajax.

Virgil van Dijk's season could be in doubt with the Dutchman set for surgery after damaging his ACL in the Merseyside derby against Everton. Jordan Pickford's lunge at van Dijk resulted in him being substituted after just nine minutes at Goodison Park and, following consultation with a specialist, the defender is now set for a prolonged spell on the sidelines. The Liverpool ECHO's LFC correspondent Paul Gorst joins Guy Clarke to react to the breaking news.
