Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Ahead of the summer’s transfer window opening, Josh Williams and David Hughes cast an eye over the Liverpool squad to assess what areas need strengthening. Before looking at which players Michael Edwards and Jurgen Klopp will want to bring into Anfield this summer, we assess who may be moved on to raise funds. Nat Phillips, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Harvey Elliott all cause debate. That’s before looking to which players could be targeted with Teun Koopmeiners analysed alongside the likes of Houssem Aouar, Jeremy Doku and Donyell Malen.

Trent Alexander-Arnold HAS been named in the England squad that will compete at Euro 2020 this summer, with Gareth Southgate selecting the Liverpool full-back in his 26-player contingent. Guy Clarke is joined by Paul Gorst and Matt Addison as they discuss why Southgate appears to have changed his mind after Alexander-Arnold was left out of the last England squad in March, plus why it makes so much sense for the 22-year-old to be selected. They also debate whether Alexander-Arnold could be used in a midfield role for his country, which has been suggested by some as a major factor in his inclusion in the squad, with Reece James, Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker also all picked by the England boss. England's Euro 2020 campaign begins on Sunday, June 13 when they take on Croatia at Wembley.

With reports emerging Manchester City are considering the possibility of selling Raheem Sterling we debate whether or not Liverpool should make a move. Guy Clarke is joined by Kai Delaney to talk through the pros and cons of a move for the 26-year-old, six years on from his acrimonious Anfield exit. Despite starting the Champions League Final against Chelsea, Sterling has been linked with a move away from the Etihad with both Jack Grealish and Harry Kane reportedly of interest to Pep Guardiola. With Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah set for AFCON duty in January, could Sterling be a forward option Jurgen Klopp and Michael Edwards consider?

The main topic of debate is the multi-club model operated by the likes of Manchester City and the Red Bull group – and with FSG having done a £530m deal with Gerry Cardinale’s RedBird Capital Partners, it now seems Liverpool are set to follow suit.

Daniel goes into detail about that before focusing on the Premier League new television rights deal and what could happen when it runs out in 2025.

Peter Hooton is joined by Kieth Culvin, Ste Monaghan, John Nicolson and Ian Byrne for the first Allez Les Rouges podcast since Liverpool pulled off their ‘mission impossible’ to qualify for the Champions League. So just how good an achievement was it by Jurgen Klopp and his players? The panel discuss that, looking back on the key moments on the end-of-season run-in, including Alisson’s wonderful winner at West Brom, and the difference the returning fans made to the team – and in particular Sadio Mane – in the final-day win over Crystal Palace that ensured the Reds finished third. Talk then turns to transfers, including Ibrahima Konate, Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak, and whether it’s a gamble not to offer Gini Wijnaldum a new deal.

Liverpool know a victory over Crystal Palace today will almost certainly be enough to seal qualification for the Champions League - and 10,000 fans will be inside Anfield to cheer them over the line. So is there anything that Palace and their departing manager Roy Hodgson can do to stop the Reds? To answer that question, Matt Addison speaks to comedian, writer and Eagles fan Kevin Day for the final Behind Enemy Lines podcast of the season. They discuss all the big talking points heading into the big game, including the decision of Hodgson to call time on his Palace career after the meeting at his former club. There are plenty more Liverpool links in the Palace side, too, with Christian Benteke, Mamadou Sakho and Martin Kelly among their ranks. And, as Day explains, the form of Benteke is something Nat Phillips and Co will have to be wary of this afternoon.Shop the new Liverpool Nike home it here: https://tinyurl.com/yjhapeqt Learn more about your ad choices.

Win that one and the Reds will almost certainly book their place in next season’s Champions League. But after a testing campaign, do the underlying numbers suggest they would deserve that? Josh digs deep into the statistics to answer that question as well as going in-depth on Phillips and Thiago, who along with Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah, have been the driving forces behind Liverpool’s late-season resurgence. It’s a resurgence that would be capped with victory over Palace on Sunday. The Eagles have little to play for, but in what will be Roy Hodgson’s final match in charge, who could pose a threat to Jurgen Klopp’s top-four chasing side?

Neil Fitzmaurice is joined by Paul Gorst and Sean Bradbury for a positively upbeat edition of the Poetry in Motion podcast. Recorded the morning after the 3-0 win over urnley which moved Liverpool into fourth place with one game to play, and extended their unbeaten run to nine matches, Fitzy asks his guests just what are the reasons for this remarkable last-season surge that should secure Champions League football? Fabinho, Nat Phillips and a settled defence is one area discussed, as is the return to goalscoring form of Roberto Firmino, the growing influence of Thiago, and the significance of the victory at Old Trafford. But that 4-2 win over Manchester United was superseded by what happened at the Hawthorns at the weekend when Alisson sealed an extraordinary three points over West Brom by becoming the first Liverpool goalkeeper in the club's history to score a goal. Fitzy, Gorsty and Joe revel in that incredible moment before looking back on the Burnley success, which included a goal for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, as well as asking what's happening with Naby Keita, and anticipating a crazy decision from Gareth Southgate over Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Harry Kane will reportedly push to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer. But should Liverpool be interested in a transfer? And how might the England captain moving elsewhere impact the Reds? On the latest episode of The Agenda, Matt Addison is joined by Theo Squires to discuss the implications that Kane moving on from Tottenham might have, with PSG, Manchester City and Manchester United among the clubs who can realistically afford him. Like when Neymar increased valuations with his 2017 move to PSG from Barcelona, the first big transfer of this summer will set the precedent for price-tags in a post-pandemic transfer market world.

Liverpool will likely need to win both of their remaining Premier League fixtures in order to qualify for the Champions League after Chelsea beat Leicester City 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.

West Brom might be relegated and have little to play for, but the same certainly cannot be said for Liverpool in their bid to make the Champions League places. So, on the latest Behind Enemy Lines podcast, Matt Addison is joined by Birmingham Live’s West Brom reporter Joe Chapman to preview Sunday’s game between the sides and pick out the players to watch, including Matheus Pereira, the tricky Brazilian attacking midfielder who has been the stand-out man at the Hawthorns side season. The Baggies have already proven that they can mix it with the best in the Premier League with their 5-2 away at Chelsea, which was one of the stand-out results of the season. Liverpool simply cannot afford another slip-up, but Sam Allardyce would love nothing more than to throw a spanner in the works. But can he do that? Or will the Reds march on?

Gini Wijnaldum, Andy Robertson and Xherdan Shaqiri are all players who Liverpool have signed from relegated clubs under Jurgen Klopp - so could they repeat the trick this summer? Matt Addison joins Guy Clarke on The Agenda to assess whether there are any players in the bottom three Premier League clubs this season - Sheffield United, West Brom and Fulham - who could be possible bargains for Liverpool to pick up in the summer transfer window. Among them are Mateus Pereira, who could prove to be a thorn in the side of Liverpool this Sunday as they take on Sam Allardyce's Baggies, and Norwegian midfielder Sander Berge, who cost Sheffield United a club-record £22m in 2020.

Guy Clarke is joined by Theo Squires, Matt Addison and David Lynch for the Blood Red podcast as they look back on Liverpool’s 4-2 win over Manchester United and look ahead to their visit to West Brom on Sunday. The rousing victory over United means Liverpool will almost certainly qualify for the Champions League next season if they take maximum points from their final three games – starting at the relegated Baggies.
