Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

This was supposed to be our 'arrival' podcast at Liverpool's South Bend training base in Indiana. But missed and delayed flights mean Ian Doyle and Kristian Walsh, at the time of recording, find themselves hanging around in LaGuardia Airport. But their desperation for a well-deserved pint aside, the pair are in chipper mood as they provide their first tour diary entry from America. On the agenda, apart from the weather, in-flight entertainment, and kicking toddlers (not actually kicking toddlers), is the venue for the Reds' opening friendly, the difference between now and tours past and why no member of Jurgen Klopp's squad is likely to be pulled away from training for a Dunkin' Donuts meet and greet, plus the return of some of the big hitters. However, news broke before this podcast was recorded that Klopp will be without his feared front three for a little while longer yet and that leads to an interesting discussion over Rhian Brewster, Harry Wilson and Ryan Kent.

Counting down the days until the start of the season? Or still revelling in the fact that Liverpool are champions of Europe and what was a glorious weekend of sport? Allez Les Rouges host Peter Hooton and regular guests Ste Monaghan and John Nicolson are in the latter camp and, judging by Jurgen Klopp's demeanour at the start of pre-season, the Liverpool manager is completely relaxed too. And no wonder when he has young talent ready to burst through like Rhian Brewster. Our panel discuss the 19-year-old's flying start to the summer, and how his setback last season could actually be a blessing in disguise, but also why there is a danger of being branded the next 'big thing'. Klopp has also been boosted by the return of senior players to full fitness but Peter, Ste and John argue that does not mean the Reds can afford to be letting players leave. Talk then turns to transfers and reports linking Philippe Coutinho with a move back to Anfield. When Paul Pogba is valued at £150m by Manchester United, how much would Coutinho go for? And, anyway, would he be welcomed back? But for now it is purely speculation and as things stand, it has been a quiet transfer for Liverpool and a lot of their rivals. Unlike in the sports journalist world... Enjoy. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Hopefully you've heard by now, but we're expanding Blood Red, particularly when it comes to video content. And one of the shows we will be shooting in the coming weeks will be called The Agenda, a bite-sized look at the latest Liverpool news and related news before we serve up some of our established productions, like the Blood Red podcast, later in the day. But with the Reds jetting of to States, we thought it'd be good idea to film and record an early edition of The Agenda, featuring Daniel Austin and Joel Rabinowitz of our brand-new website liverpool.com, which is dedicated to the club’s US fanbase. And we liked it so much that we've also decided to stick it on here, as a podcast, too. On the, er, agenda, is Sepp van den Berg, Andy Lonergan and why it's not the first time the Reds have made a surprise move for a goalkeeper, transfers (or the lack of them), Rhian Brewster and, of course, what lies in store in the States. Admittedly, there's no discussion over Philippe Coutinho or the latest comments from his agent. You'll have to wait until tomorrow for that, and a very special Blood Red podcast.

There may have been a Wimbledon classic and a scarcely believable Cricket World Cup final on Sunday but the Blood Red podcast is all about Bradford City 1 Liverpool 3 and the latest talking points from Anfield. In the host seat is Sean Bradbury, and answering the questions are Paul Gorst and Ian Doyle, who kicks things off by assessing the Reds’ pre-season so far. It’s a pre-season that will significantly step up a gear in America, but with trophies on offer so early in the campaign, and the challenge of Manchester City to overcome, is that just what Jurgen Klopp’s side needs? Ryan Kent will certainly be looking to impress in the States but will he be a genuine option for Klopp once the real action gets underway? Ian and Paul discuss that before turning their thoughts to James Milner and what lies in store this season for the evergreen midfielder, ‘proper striker’ Rhian Brewster, and the crossroads Dejan Lovren finds himself at. Also on the agenda is cover at left-back and the goalkeeping issues that have led to the club bringing in a 35-year-old journeyman. Enjoy.

Welcome to the Post-Game podcast to react to Liverpool’s win at Bradford City on Sunday afternoon. The 3-1 victory meant Jurgen Klopp’s side continued their perfect start to pre-season after winning 6-0 at Tranmere Rovers on Thursday night. But more important than the result was the fact that the money raised from the friendly will go to the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation, which was launched by former Liverpool and Bradford defender Stephen Darby after he was diagnosed with MND and his subsequent retirement from football last September. It is a subject touched upon by both our Liverpool FC reporter Ian Doyle and Reds manager Klopp in their post-game verdicts, which make up the podcast. We start with Ian – and then we hear from Jurgen, who also talks cover at left-back, Adam Lallana in a new position, and Simon Mignolet’s future.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
