Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Anyone excited for the new season? Well, with Euro 2020 over and those Liverpool training pictures being released everyday, Mo Stewart, James Martin and Matt Addison certainly are. So for this week’s Liverpool.com podcast, they pick Jurgen Klopp’s side for him for the Premier League opener at Norwich City, which is now just little over a month away. But it’s not as easy as you might think given that Reds boss Klopp still has 10 players - Jordan Henderson, Andy Robertson, Alisson, Thiago, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota, Xherdan Shaqiri, Harry Wilson and Neco Williams - on their holidays, and a number of others working their way back to full fitness after serious injury. So it could give the likes of new boy Ibrahima Konate, Curtis Jones and Naby Keita the chance to start the Carrow Road clash on August 14.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

Wind back to 2018, and Liverpool spent more heavily in the transfer market than they ever had before. Backed in part by the £143m deal that had seen Philippe Coutinho move to Barcelona six months earlier - though £75m of that had already been splashed on Virgil van Dijk - Liverpool then went and signed Alisson Becker, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri for a combined total of around £170m. But they could very easily have spent another £52m, having been minutes away from a transfer being announced for French attacking midfielder Nabil Fekir. So, for this special podcast, Matt Addison is joined by Kristian Walsh, who was working on the Liverpool ECHO's sports desk at the time, Spanish football writer Andrew Miller, who specialises in Real Betis, the club that Fekir plays for now, and finally Jonathan Johnson, a French football expert who gives the view from Lyon, as they explain why the deal collapsed, and how that has impacted the player himself and Liverpool since. Certainly, Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool could have taken a very different path had they pressed ahead with a move for the number 10...Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

There was devastation for Spain last night as they lost an incredible game to Italy on penalties in the first Euro 2020 semi-final. But the performance of Barcelona’s brilliant young midfielder Pedri shows that the future is bright for Spanish football. But what about the 18-year-old’s club side? You don’t need reminding that the last time Liverpool came across Barcelona was back on May 7, 2019 when Jurgen Klopp’s team produced one of the greatest comebacks of all time. That 4-0 defeat shook Barca to their core. But as we’ll learn on this special podcast, as seismic as that result was, the club’s problems had set in long before then, and has certainly accelerated since. Samuel Marsden reports on Barcelona for ESPN and Diario Sport, and Paul Wheelock picked up the phone to him for the first time since before the Miracle of Anfield to find out exactly how bad things have gotten at Camp Nou. Sam talks about Lionel Messi, and whether Barca will be able to sign the world’s greatest player to another contract or be forced to let him leave on a free; whether the reports are true that they would really accept a £120m loss on Philippe Coutinho; their decision to sell Luis Suarez to Atletico Madrid last summer, and why Gini Wijnaldum didn’t become the latest Liverpool player to join Barcelona this summer. And given the stark financial situation at the club, will they be able to keep hold of Pedri, who has been linked with Liverpool. Sam answers that, and gives a great insight into many more subjects we hope you find interesting.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.
