Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Everton could not do Liverpool a favour.
Their 3-1 loss at Manchester City means Jurgen Klopp’s unbeaten side need to beat Manchester United on Sunday to go back to the top of the Premier League.
Given the fact a remarkable 16 points separates the sides in the table, against other team you would back the Reds to get the job done in front of their own supporters.
But Liverpool have failed to beat United in the league since March 2014 and the Old Trafford outfit are the only side Klopp has yet to take three points from since taking over at Anfield.
However, there is no question which of the two clubs is the one on the up.
And to preview the massive match, and to examine why there is a growing chasm between the clubs, Paul Wheelock speaks to the Daily Mirror’s David Anderson.
We then go to our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce after he attended Reds boss Klopp’s press conference on Friday.
And you will also hear Jose Mourinho’s press conference in full, which includes his latest dig at his opposite number. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

One topic dominates the latest Blood Red podcast.
Recorded early to allow the ECHO sportsdesk to hit the town for their Christmas do, one topic dominates.
No, it’s not our favourite Christmas songs, although that does get a mention at the start; it is, of course, the visit of Manchester United to Anfield on Sunday.
Table-topping Liverpool will be favourites after their record-breaking, unbeaten start to the Premier League season.
But the Reds do have major injury concerns in defence and, with the news that Trent Alexander-Arnold has joined Joe Gomez and Joel Matip on the sidelines, James Pearce, Connor Dunn, Theo Squires and host Joe Rimmer discuss how the back four will line-up against United, and whether Jurgen Klopp needs to make a Steven Caulker-style addition in January.
The lads also discus Jose Mourinho’s latest dig at his opposite number and why his words just won’t wash.
Mourinho does, of course, have history of spoiling Liverpool’s party and United are unbeaten in the last eight league meetings between the sides.
But there is no doubt the balance of power between the eternal rivals has shifted and James provides what he believes is the biggest reason why.
The panel’s favourite victories over United are then recalled before predictions and preferred line-ups are revealed.

What a December it’s been so far for Liverpool.
The most dramatic of Merseyside derby wins, a gritty comeback at Burnley, a four-goal thrashing of Bournemouth that took the Reds to the top of the Premier League, and then a terrific performance to beat Napoli and secure their place in the Champions League knock-out stages.
What a time, then, to reintroduce the View from the Kop podcast to the Blood Red mix.
Hosted by Paul Wheelock, and featuring Paul Philbin, Caoimhe O'Neill, Matt Addison and fellow debutant George Xanthis, an Australian Koppite who is based in America, the panel get stuck into the big talking points from Anfield.
There is yet more praise for Virgil van Dijk after his towering display against Napoli but he is already up there with the very best Reds centre-backs? And, if not, what does he need to do?
The Dutchman’s influence is only going to grow stronger now that Joel Matip has joined Joe Gomez on the sidelines and we ask should Jurgen Klopp enter the transfer market next month? And if not for a defender, a player further up the field?
All of a sudden there are fewer complaints about the midfield but Philbo has strong views on Jordan Henderson, which leads to an interesting debate on the long-term future of the Liverpool captain.
If anyone needed reminding that Klopp knows exactly what he’s doing, it came against Napoli as his much-debated line-up did the business.
The panel discuss the German’s evolution during his time on the red half of Merseyside before talk turns to Mohamed Salah’s goal celebrations, or lack of.
And, of course, Sunday’s visit of bitter-rivals Manchester United is previewed, including a spot-on description of Jose Mourinho, before Philbo, Caoimhe, Matt and George give us their personal highlights of 2018 watching the relentless Reds.

No surprise that the Blood Red team are in very high spirits after another famous Anfield night in Europe. 


Host Kristian Walsh is joined by James Pearce and Caoimhe O'Neill to reflect on the night the Reds showed the true measure of their maturity, with the much-maligned midfield being central to that. 


The team also discuss Virgil van Dijk's impact - and how Dries Mertens regretted THOSE comments about the atmosphere - as well as Mohamed Salah's lightbulb moment and the aura Alisson Becker brings. 


There is also a story about Martin Skrtel and the mixed zone which you won't want to miss - not to mention several plugs for one of Blood Red's favourite haunts on a night on the town. Sort of.
