Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Liverpool sit top of the Premier League with five wins from five, so there’s no need to worry despite defeat to Napoli in the Reds’ Champions League opener. Josh Williams is joined, once more, by David Hughes for your weekly tactical and analytic look over Liverpool’s recent showings. From seeing off Newcastle at Anfield to defeat in Naples, the guys look over the statistical data into the two showings. Looking at the midfield engine room both Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner come under focus while there are also plenty of plaudits for Roberto Firmino’s masterclass against Newcastle. Given the five point lead at the top of the table, there’s also a brief focus on what’s happened in the early weeks with Manchester City, prior to a brief nod to Sunday’s visit to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea.

We have a treat for you - the second Poetry in Motion podcast in as many weeks as Neil Fitzmaurice is joined by Joe Rimmer and Paul Wheelock to look back on Liverpool's 2-0 loss to Napoli and look ahead to this weekend's trip to Chelsea. No-one is too downhearted in the studio, and given the incredibly high standards the Reds are setting, the loss at the Stadio San Paolo has to be put into context. But Fizty points out areas that could be improved and asks whether the result could actually be a good thing in the long term. Our host also struggles to understand Xherdan Shaqiri's situation, but even more so VAR, before talk turns to the returning Naby Keita, the title race and why, if perspective is needed, you do not have to go back far to find some; a discussion which includes a classic Roy Hodgson quote.

Liverpool have been on the wrong side of two big VAR decisions this week. A soft penalty was given for Napoli in Tuesday's Champions League opener when Andy Robertson was judged to have fouled Jose Callejon, despite replays appearing to show minimal contact, while Joel Matip can feel unlucky not to have been awarded a spot-kick against Newcastle United at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday when he was grappled to the floor during a corner. Liverpool.com's Joel Rabinowitz and Dan Austin look at back those decisions and VAR in a wider context to discuss the pros and cons, whether it's working, and how it could be done differently.

It's the morning after the night before and our Liverpool FC correspondent Paul Gorst and chief Liverpool FC writer Ian Doyle are back with their post-Napoli Blood Red podcast from a noisy Naples Airport. And they are joined by two voices very familiar to our listeners - Goal's Neil Jones and his former Echo colleague, and Gorsty's predecessor, James Pearce, now of The Athletic. The quartet look back on the 2-0 defeat to Napoli, the penalty decision that ultimately decided it, the performances of Fabinho and Adrian, room for improvement in the final third, and Jurgen Klopp's team selection.
