Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Neil Fitzmaurice returns with his brilliant Poetry in Motion podcast to pick the bones out of Liverpool’s thrilling 4-3 Champions League win at home to Red Bull Salzburg – and preview the visit of Leicester City to Anfield and the return of Brendan Rodgers. It’s hard to find faults with this magnificent Reds side but Fitzy, who is joined in the studio by ECHO duo Paul Gorst and Connor Dunn, wonders whether there is a problem at the back? And if there is, can the return of one player in particular solve it? Another long-standing question the panel try to answer concerns Liverpool’s lack of a No 10. Is it time Naby Keita or Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are given the chance to fill the role? There’s also a lot of love for Roberto Firmino and Andy Robertson plus a laugh at Manchester United. Enjoy.

Now logic would suggest Liverpool will run out comfortable winners in their first home game of the Champions League campaign. But Red Bull Salzburg, Wednesday night's visitors to Anfield, are not a side to be underestimated. They have won 11 of the 12 matches they have played in all competitions so far this season, scoring an incredible 55 goals, and their 6-2 home win over Genk on match-night one in the Champions League certainly made the rest of Europe stand up and take notice. Leading the way that night was the 19-year-old Erling Haaland, who became the third youngest player to score a Champions League hat-trick behind Real Madrid legend Raul and a certain Wayne Rooney. But as you'll learn over the course of this podcast, Salzburg seem to have a lot more in the locker than just the prolific Haaland. Tom Middler, from the excellent Other Bundesliga Podcast in Vienna, also tells Paul Wheelock about Sadio Mane's and Naby Keita's reunion with their former club, and provides an insight into Salzburg manager Jesse Marsch, a Jurgen Klopp devotee who will be making history of his own on Wednesday when he becomes the first American to manage in the Champions League.
