Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

In the latest episode of Poetry in Motion, host Neil Fitzmaurice is joined by Dan Kay and the returning Joe Rimmer.Karius, Ramos, mixed emotions and memories that will last a lifetime... it goes without saying that the Champions League final gets a big mention.But, just like the club proved itself with the signing of Fabinho 48 hours after the defeat to Real Madrid in Kiev, it is time to move on.And that means the lads spend a significant amount of another brilliant podcast debating who should be on Jurgen Klopp’s summer wishlist.Joe would happily drive to Madrid to pick up Jan Oblak and bring him back to Merseyside while Dan and Fitzy are taken by reports linking Liverpool to Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois.But it’s not just a new goalkeeper the lads would like Klopp to sign – they would also welcome a rising star from Germany, a young Jermaine Defoe, and a player in the ilk of Gary McAllister with open arms.The trio also reveal where they think the Reds have the edge over their rivals when it comes to transfers.The answer? You’ll have to listen to find out.Enjoy. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The latest Blood Red podcast is in.And it's an episode laced with regret.Joe Rimmer sits down with Kristian Walsh and Dan Kay to decipher what went wrong in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.Dan believes there are plenty of reasons to be cheerful with Jurgen Klopp at the helm of the club, Kristian thinks that the Reds actually did well to deal with the bad luck dealt to them on Saturday and Joe is sure there could be happier memories, and perhaps more heartbreak, to come for Liverpool.There's discussion on why Liverpool are seen as getting more praise than certain other sides, as well as why Klopp's response to the defeat could be crucial.And of course, we couldn't avoid talking about Loris Karius and Sergio Ramos after both men grabbed the headlines for different reasons following Saturday's game.It's a thought provoking one - and you never know, it could even help you cope at this tough time.

Well, that’d be the same man that has re-established the key bond between the supporters and the players... Jurgen Klopp.Ian, James and Kristian also pay tribute to the players themselves, all of who have been written off at some stage of their careers, but who now stand on the brink of winning the club’s sixth European Cup.Liverpool, of course, are no strangers to this stage of this competition, but Ian argues the Kiev showdown is the biggest game in the club’s history.James and Kristian do not disagree, and the trio are also on the same page when it comes to the argument that holders Real Madrid are the team with it all to lose on Saturday night.It’s essential listening as ever.
