Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

It’s been a long weekend without football for Liverpool supporters.
But after seeing Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham continue their perfect starts, the Reds will also attempt to make it two wins from two at Crystal Palace in the first Monday Night Football of the season.
And we’ve got a full preview of the Selhurst Park clash in our latest podcast.
The pod kicks off with the lowdown on Jurgen Klopp’s side from our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce.
James explains why Palace’s home should not be considered a ‘bogey ground’ for the Reds – even if it will always bring back bad memories – and why the match will be the first proper test of Alisson Becker and Naby Keita.
James also discusses a possible midfield conundrum as well as a reunion with Mamadou Sakho, Christian Benteke, Martin Kelly and, of course, Roy Hodgson.
James isn’t Hodgson’s biggest fan but the podcast’s second guest, Matt Woosnam, cannot speak highly enough of the former Liverpool boss.
Matt is a Palace supporter and covers the club for the South London Press, as well as running the @PalaceYouth Twitter account, and he also talks Wilfried Zaha’s new deal, the young right-back hoping to follow in Trent Alexander Arnold’s footsteps, as well as one-time reported Liverpool target Max Meyer.
And a packed podcast ends with audio highlights from Klopp’s and Hodgson’s pre-match press conferences.

It’s been a summer of massive change for Liverpool FC Women... with a new name, a new manager, new staff and new players.
And in our latest podcast we reflect on what has been a very busy pre-season and look ahead to the Reds’ opening game of the campaign at home to a newly formed Manchester United Women side that contains a whole host of familiar faces.
Neil Redfearn is the new man at the helm at Liverpool and we caught up with the ex-Leeds manager to reflect on a rollercoaster first two months in charge and to find out his short and long-term aims for the 2013 and 2014 Women’s Super League champions.
We also get his thoughts on the Continental Tyres League Cup clash with United, who are not only managed by former Liverpool defender and England legend Casey Stoner, but also feature a number of players who, until last season, plied their trade on the red half of Merseyside, including new captain Alex Greenwood.
We also talk about the memorable moments Redfearn enjoyed against Liverpool during his playing career and discuss the top-class players he produced while working at Leeds, latterly under controversial owner Massimo Cellino.

Peter Hooton is back with his excellent Allez Les Rouges podcast – and he’s invited a special guest along for the latest instalment.
Alongside regulars Kieth Culvin, John Nicolson and Ste Monaghan is Accrington Stanley manager – and big Red – John Coleman.
The lads were impressed with the way Liverpool started the season as West Ham United were put to the sword at Anfield – in particular debutant Naby Keita and the attacking options that were able to come off the bench.
That said they were less heartened with the cover at the back and, while they believe Alisson could go on to become one of the club’s best ever goalkeepers, they do question whether Jurgen Klopp should have brought in another defender before the transfer window closed, and what his best centre-back partnership is.
Reds boss Klopp is certainly not short of quality in midfield after the summer arrivals of Keita and Fabinho but James Milner proved on Sunday why he remains such a vital performer – and Coleman gives a fascinating insight into what the former England man is like up close.
Coleman – who performed miracles to get Stanley promoted to League One last season – then offers his ‘controversial’ opinion on Roberto Firmino before talks turn to whether Klopp must deliver in what is his third full season in charge at Anfield.
They key to winning the title is then discussed – including factors both on and off the field – before another must-listen podcast rounds off with the news surrounding Mo Salah this week.

It’s a big weekend for Liverpool FC’s academy with their U18s and U23s sides playing their first home matches of what is set to be another exciting season at Kirby.
Neil Critchley’s U23s welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield on Friday (7pm) before the U18s, now managed by the highly regarded Barry Lewtas after Steven Gerrard’s departure to Rangers, take on rivals Manchester United at the academy on Saturday (11am).
We preview both matches – and talk much more besides – in our first Academy Show podcast of the new campaign.
Our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce guests on the show after spending the afternoon in the company of Critchley and Lewtas.
The rise of Trent Alexander-Arnold to integral first-team squad member was the highlight of a brilliant season for the academy last time out.
And there is real hope that there are more players ready to follow in Trent’s footsteps.
The likes of Curtis Jones, Rafa Camacho and Nat Phillips certainly staked a claim with their performances in pre-season and James explains what could happen next for the trio and why goalkeeper Kamil Grabara has a real opportunity on his hands.
James also discusses the futures of Sheyi Ojo and Pedro Chirivella before talk turns to the U18s and their summer signing Bobby Duncan, the highly rated young English forward who is the cousin of Reds legend Gerrard.
That in turn leads to a debate about why Liverpool is now seen as the club to go to for talented young players before James rounds off the podcast by talking about the returning Pep Lijnders.
