Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s first goals since his famous strike against Manchester City 18 months ago set Liverpool on their way to a comfortable 4-1 Champions League victory at Genk that was capped by brilliant efforts from Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah - and which left the defending champions second in Group E ahead of the return match with the Belgians at Anfield. Our Liverpool FC correspondent Paul Gorst gets us under way with his verdict on the night’s action before we hear every word of Klopp’s press conference. And, as always, we’ll end the podcast with the thoughts of our regular fan callers. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Manchester United came to do a job on Liverpool and, if it hadn't been for Adam Lallana's late strike, the runaway leaders would have suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season. But while the Reds snatched a 1-1 draw, does Jurgen Klopp need to make a key tactical change the next time his side head to Old Trafford or encounter a team who set up to nullify the Reds' main attacking outlets? That is one of the big talking points of the Analysing Anfield podcast, hosted by Josh Williams and David Alexander Hughes. After dissecting what happened and why on Sunday, our analysts then turn their thoughts to Wednesday's Champions League trip to Genk and Sunday's league visit of Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield. Spurs often give Liverpool a real for their money, but the underlying statistics suggest that won't be the case this weekend. It's an interesting listen as ever.

Welcome to the Post-Game podcast to react to Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at Manchester United. The Reds were heading for their first Premier League defeat since January after Marcus Rashford’s opener for United was controversially allowed to stand. But while Jurgen Klopp’s side were unable to equal Manchester City’s Premier League record of 18 straight victories, they did rescue a point thanks to substitute Adam Lallana’s late equaliser. And it was a point that moved still-unbeaten Liverpool six points clear of City at the top of the table. As always, this podcast kicks off with the verdict of our Liverpool FC correspondent Paul Gorst, is followed by Klopp's after-match press conference in full, which includes his take on the game's big VAR controversies, before you hear the thoughts of Reds fans Ross Strachan, Alex Watt, Mark Baker, Matt Addison, Matt Whitty and Sam Planche.

The two most successful clubs in English football go head to head at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon with plenty more than just pride at stake. An 18th consecutive victory for Liverpool would equal Manchester City’s Premier League record and, more importantly, re-establish their eight-point lead at the top. Victory for Jurgen Klopp’s relentless side at the home of their biggest rivals would also underline the huge gap in quality that now exists between the clubs. Just two seasons ago Manchester United finished six points ahead of Liverpool in second. But since then the clubs have gone in completely different directions and United will go into the match a massive 15 points behind Liverpool and with the pressure growing on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. So to find out how and why the Red Devils have suffered such a huge fall in grace, Paul Wheelock speaks to Samuel Luckhurst, the chief Manchester United writer for the Manchester Evening News.
