Ian Doyle and Kristian Walsh have made it to Notre Dame, Indiana for Liverpool’s opening US friendly and, despite a nightmare couple of days, and despite it being 11.42pm at night, they got straight down to business and recorded this, their second tour diary since landing in the States. It’s a belter. With the strains of Si Señor, You’ll Never Walk Alone and Yellow Submarine playing in the background after a fan event, our duo are joined by a familiar voice to our listeners, Neil Jones of Goal, to look back at Jurgen Klopp’s press conference that took place earlier in the day. Klopp was in, great form and our panel assess his comments about Liverpool’s Premier League rivals, James Milner and Sepp van den Berg. Also on the agenda is the growth – literally – of Ki-Jana Hoever and the position Klopp was talking about when he spoke this week of making one more signing. Without giving the game away, it’s not a striker, and while Neil and Kristian wonder whether that’s the right move, they also explain Klopp’s thinking behind it. Next up is how the Reds will line up v Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla this weekend before a must-listen podcast ends with a very interesting debate about modern-day pre-season and why time off could be just what Mohamed Salah needs. And if that’s not enough, Ian also has a go at his colleagues’ height, James Pearce is compared to Mino Raiola, Jonas Lossl’s Everton career is killed off before it’s even started, and a flare goes off midway through recording.

So the Reds have touched down Stateside ahead of gearing up for the upcoming title challenge in the Premier League. But away from Jurgen Klopp’s touring party are a few notable absentees - one of those being one of his high-flying wingers, who rather than check back in for pre-season is still focused on landing yet more silverware.

He may have two La Liga titles, a Copa Del Rey and a Spanish Super Cup to his name, but privately at least, Philippe Coutinho must have regrets at the way his move from Liverpool to Barcelona has worked out. But while the man Reds fans affectionately dubbed the Little Magician has struggled in Catalonia, back on Merseyside his former club have gone from strength to strength, a rapid and significant improvement that culminated in the triumphant Champions League campaign, which of course, included that famous semi-final success over Coutinho’s Barcelona. To all intents and purposes, Liverpool have moved on from the Brazil international, but if the comments made by his agent Kia Joorabchian are anything to go by, Coutinho hasn’t quite moved on from Liverpool. So much so that if the 27-year-old does indeed call time on his 18-month stay with Barcelona this summer, the Reds would be his only destination of choice if he was to return to the Premier League. But do Liverpool need him? Would he be welcomed back? And where would he fit into Jurgen Klopp’s system? A poll on the ECHO website asking readers whether they’d like to see Coutinho back at Anfield has so far attracted more than 50,000 votes. Interestingly, and overwhelmingly, 68% of the people who voted want him back. So with that in mind, we sat down for a very special Blood Red podcast, hosted by Sean Bradbury, and featuring Paul Gorst, Connor Dunn and Dan Kay, to answer those aforementioned questions and more.
