Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

With Liverpool dealt two more injury blows this week in the form of Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold, what comes next for Jurgen Klopp? Do Liverpool need to dip into the transfer market to solve their defensive dilemma, and could they accelerate next summer's transfer plans to do so? Host Matt Addison is joined by Paul Gorst and Sean Bradbury to discuss exactly that, with Joel Matip now the only senior centre-back that Liverpool have fit. There is also a discussion on what the imminent move to the Reds' AXA Training Centre in Kirkby will mean.

Guy Clarke is joined by Dan Kay to discuss the impact on Liverpool with Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold having also sustained injuries in recent weeks.

News broke during the recording of the Liverpool.com podcast that Joe Gomez has picked up an injury in England training this morning, Although the extent of the problem has yet to be made clear, there are fears it could be significant. And with Virgil van Dijk sidelined long term, that means Joel Matip is set to be Liverpool's only fit senior centre-back. So what do the Reds, who also lost right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold to injury in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Manchester City, as well as having concerns over stand-in centre-back Fabinho, do now? Dan Morgan, Joel Rabinowitz and Mark Wakefield attempt to answer that question as they react to the breaking news. But before that, they take stock of Liverpool's season so far, picking out the players they are most pleased and disappointed with, as well as taking a wider look at the Premier League.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp shocked Liverpool supporters and perhaps Pep Guardiola too when he named Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota in his starting line-up for Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Manchester City. And, after giving their thoughts on the match itself, Josh Williams and David Hughes discuss whether Klopp’s bold 4-4-2/4-2-4 formation is one the Liverpool boss will use again. Our Analysing Anfield hosts then dig deep into the numbers of the game including a very interesting statistic about Kevin De Bruyne, who missed the chance to win it for City from the penalty spot. And, given the final international break of the year is now upon us, the second half of the podcast is all about the season so far, and whether the underlying numbers do justice to Liverpool and their to biggest title rivals, City. Josh and Dave also have a bit of fun and give their updated top-four and relegation predictions.

After Liverpool drew 1-1 at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday, how should Jurgen Klopp reflect on the game? Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson both impressed in the centre of the park in a midfield two, as Liverpool went with the bold front four of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino. But how should each of their performances be analysed? Wijnaldum's contract is still to be renewed and he looks set to leave on a free transfer at the end of the year, but this was yet another showing that proved his class. Firmino, too, who has been criticised in some quarters of late, looked excellent, particularly out of possession and in the first 45 minutes, but he tired second half and was replaced by the resurgent Xherdan Shaqiri. Join Guy Clarke, Ian Doyle, Paul Gorst and Matt Addison as they breakdown the result and performance and what it all means heading into the last international break of 2020.

Liverpool came away from the Etihad with a 1-1 draw with Manchester City, although they finished the game without Trent Alexander-Arnold who was forced off injured. Mohamed Salah's 10th goal of the season had given the Reds a 1-0 lead before Gabriel Jesus equalised. Kevin De Bruyne then missed a penalty to give City the lead. Join Guy Clarke as we hear from Jurgen Klopp's post-match press conference, the Liverpool ECHO's chief LFC writer Ian Doyle, plus plenty of fan reaction from the Blood Red podcast Facebook group as well as regular contributors Ross Strachan, Owen Thomas, Matt Whitty, Steve Dawson, Hannah Pinnock, Alex Watt and Mark Baker.
