Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

It is only pre-season, three of the big guns are back in training tomorrow, and it is only eight weeks since Liverpool were crowned champions of Europe. But the concerns that arose during the US tour very much remain after the Reds were beaten 3-0 by Napoli at Murrayfield on Sunday. Ian Doyle was on reporting duty for the ECHO at the home of Scottish rugby, and it is his verdict on what was at times an embarrassing afternoon that kick off this podcast. You will then hear Jurgen Klopp's press conference in full, which includes his thoughts on the game, the cameo of 16-year-old new boy Harvey Elliott, the future of Ryan Kent, and why his side will be a 'different animal' in next Sunday's Community Shield against Manchester City. On this showing, they'll need to be. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Eight weeks on sinceLiverpool made it six in Madrid, we catch up with Jordan Henderson’s former academy coach at Sunderland, Kevin Ball. Ball, who’s worked as a mentor through Henderson’s career, catches up with Blood Red a year on from reflecting on Champions League and World Cup heartbreak for his former protege to explain the characteristics behind the Liverpool captain’s determination to make amends. Through the course of the interview, Ball and host Guy Clarke touch on the makings of Henderson from a youngster on the training pitches at Sunderland to lifting the European Cup in Madrid. They delve into the mental toughness to bounce back from adversity to lead the Reds to number six as well as the humility shown in wanting to share the moment with manager Jurgen Klopp and team-mate James Milner. As well as the mental aspects, there’s a profile of his technical abilities and how that’s put him in a position to be a leader for both club and country. And moving forward, Ball gives an insight into the mindset of the captain as Liverpool look to go one further than last season in the Premier League, ahead of the new season getting underway in just 13 days.

Sam Carroll is joined by Sean Bradbury, Theo Squires and Caoimhe O’Neill to discuss the latest Liverpool-related issues as the US tour draws to a close. With pre-season coming to an end, the panel discuss the need for Jurgen Klopp to dip into the transfer market with questions posed over the depth in the squad given Nathaniel Clyne’s knee injury. With the new campaign on the horizon they also share their views on the winners in pre-season, most notably Rhian Brewster, while Ryan Kent and Harry Wilson may have missed a chance to lay claim to a position in Klopp’s first team. With the Club World Cup dates confirmed for the middle of December there’s a discussion into the impact it could have on the Reds’ season - and there’s even a footnote on Everton’s designs for their new stadium planned for Bramley-Moore Dock.

Welcome to the final Blood Red podcast. From America. Whereas last year's tour of the US went swimmingly, 12 months on things did not quite go to plan for Liverpool, if not off the pitch, then certainly on it. Fittingly, then, our final dispatch from Stateside goes a little awry. It starts with Ian Doyle and Kristian Walsh looking back on the 2-2 draw with Sporting Lisbon at the Yankee Stadium before the duo are joined halfway through the podcast by Goal's Neil Jones to pick out the Reds' winners and losers from the three matches played in America. But before they can finish that section, the reporters are interrupted by an employee from the hotel they were staying at in New York and have now left. We've kept it in for posterity. And what also made the cut are the concerns the trio have 10 days before the Community Shield with Manchester City and why next week is so important for Jurgen Klopp. Enjoy.

So that's another American tour over. After defeats to Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla, Liverpool wrapped up their stay in the States with a 2-2 draw at the Yankee Stadium in New York against a Sporting Lisbon side led impressively by their captain Bruno Fernandes. Our Reds reporter Ian Doyle kicks this podcast off by giving his take on the action - we'll be hearing more from him later today in the final Blood Red US Tour Diary - before you can listen to Jurgen Klopp's after-match press conference in full. It's a good one and it includes his thoughts on Fernandes, who could be signing for Manchester United, but as the Liverpool manager makes clear, not their bitter rivals from the other end of the East Lancs.
