Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Liverpool might be out of the Champions League but they still have plenty to play for this season, starting with Leeds United on Monday night. So on the latest Analysing Anfield podcast, Josh Williams and David Hughes assess what went wrong in the Real Madrid second leg at Anfield, including pondering how Liverpool can fix Sadio Mane's form, before they give insight into what to expect from Marcelo Bielsa’s side. Our hosts talk through the threat of Leeds forward Raphinha, who has been linked with a transfer move to Liverpool as a possible Mohamed Salah successor, and why the Brazilian would be a good fit under Jurgen Klopp, as well as taking a wider look at whether a squad rebuild is needed sooner rather than later after what so far has been a difficult campaign.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCSign up for our Liverpool FC newsletters: https://data.reachplc.com/210734476470860Join our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Liverpool have been knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid at the quarter-final stage following a goalless draw at Anfield, having lost 3-1 away in the first leg.

As reports emerged this week Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga will reject a new contract ahead of the summer, we take a look at the youngster. With just one season more at the Ligue 1 side on his contract, Europe's top clubs will be on alert, with Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United among those to be credited with an interest in him. But what kind of player is Camavinga - who does not turn 19 until October - and would he be a good addition for Liverpool to make, not least as they try to replace Gini Wijnaldum? Matt Addison speaks to French football expert Tom Williams and tactics writer Josh Williams to get the lowdown on the teenage prodigy.

Both Jurgen Klopp and Andy Robertson have been speaking to the media ahead of Liverpool's second leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Real Madrid. Dominating the agenda of both press conferences was the Reds need to come from 3-1 down after defeat in the first leg in order to progress to the semi-finals. Klopp also spoke about the importance to be aware defensively as well as on German compatriot Toni Kroos, while Robertson referenced the desire within the dressing room to be 'perfect' on the night and was also asked about the race of a top four finish and teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold.

They assess the race for the top four with only a handful of league matches remaining, before analysing the form of Sadio Mane and Alisson Becker.

Liverpool have plenty of decisions to make ahead of the summer transfer window opening - but where should their priorities lie? Matt Addison joins Kai Delaney to talk through the different options that Liverpool have, and which positions they need to strengthen the most. Gini Wijnaldum looks set to be leaving on a free transfer, so how do Liverpool replace him - do they need to make a midfield signing, and what type of player should that be? In attack, Divock Origi, Xherdan Shaqiri and Takumi Minamino could all depart. Liverpool will aim for a Diogo Jota-type arrival for replacing one of those players - and Harvey Elliott, on loan for the season at Blackburn, should not be forgotten. There will not be wholesale changes made with the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez among those to return to the side next season after long-term injuries, but centre-back is a sure-fire area for a transfer deal to take place, with Ibrahima Konate in contention to fill that gap and Ozan Kabak's purchase option another thing to consider after his loan spell. Certainly, the Reds and sporting director Michael Edwards have plenty to ponder...Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCSign up for our Liverpool FC newsletters: https://data.reachplc.com/210734476470860Join our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Liverpool will be seeking to put right their 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa earlier this season when the sides meet again at Anfield in the race for the Champions League spots. Matt Addison picked up the phone to Birmingham Live's Aston Villa reporter Ashley Preece ahead of the game to get the lowdown on Dean Smith's men, who will be without star man Jack Grealish for the clash. Who are the players to watch out for without Grealish, and who could cause Liverpool problems? Certainly, £28m summer signing Ollie Watkins could be one of those, while Enri Konza at the back has proven to be an astute signing - he was being tentatively linked with a move to Anfield, in fact, before agreeing a new contract at Villa Park last week.
