Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Welcome to the Post-Game podcast to react to Atletico Madrid 2 Liverpool 3. It was a night that started with Liverpool racing into a two-goal lead and ended with Atletico manager Diego Simeone running down the tunnel, and snubbing Jurgen Klopp’s handshake, after Mohamed Salah’s penalty settled what was a true Champions League classic. But given so much went on in between, there is a lot to talk about! The podcast, as always, kicks off with the verdict from our Liverpool FC correspondent Paul Gorst out in Madrid. You'll then be able to hear Reds boss Klopp's post-match press conference in full, before fan callers Ross Strachan, Steve Dawson, Mark Baker and Mike Holt give their thoughts.

Liverpool have played both Chelsea and Manchester City at Anfield this season, but on Sunday, days after travelling to Spain to take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, they make their first trip to face a possible Premier League title rival away from home. So, in the midst of a huge week which ends with that visit to Old Trafford for the showdown with Manchester United, Mo Stewart is joined by Matt Addison and James Martin for the latest Liverpool.com podcast to debate the importance of the biggest games of the season - and whether they are six-pointer opportunities, or more a case of being must-not-lose fixtures. How should Liverpool approach matches like the one on Sunday at United? And how different is that to games like Atletico in Europe?Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

Matt Addison is joined by Paul Gorst, Ian Doyle and Theo Squires for the Blood Red podcast as they look ahead to Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool in the Champions League. But first they look back to the 5-0 win at Watford on Saturday that maintained Liverpool's impressive start to the Premier League season and underlined the fact that the feared front three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are back to their very best. The Reds will come up against a former Anfileld favourite at the Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday in Luis Suarez, who is expected to spearhead the Atletico attack. But who will go down as a bigger Liverpool legend - Suarez or Salah? The panel discuss that before giving their usual team and score predictions.

Welcome to the Post-Game podcast to react to Liverpool’s thumping 5-0 win at Watford in the Premier League. It was a win that took Liverpool top of the table, extended their unbeaten league run to 18 matches, and featured a 100th Premier League goal for Sadio Mane and a hat-trick for the in-form Robero Firmino, who now has nine goals in his last 11 games for the Reds. But really it was a win dominated by Mohamed Salah, who capped a superb performance by scoring a goal that truly did take the breath away. Little wonder, then, that Salah talk dominates this podcast, which starts with the verdict of our Liverpool FC correspondent, Paul Gorst, continues with Jurgen Klopp’s press conference in full, and ends with the thoughts of three very, very happy Reds, Alex Watt, Mike Holt and Mark Baker.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

Paul Gorst, Ian Doyle and Dan Kay join host Matt Addison for the Blood Red podcast to look back at Friday’s lively Jurgen Klopp press conference and ahead to Watford vs Liverpool on Saturday. With Fabinho and Curtis Jones joining Thiago Alcantata on the sidelines, rightly riling Klopp in the process, could the match with Watford, for whom Claudio Ranieri will be taking charge for the first time, offer an opportunity to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain? And, on the opposite side, will Ismaila Sarr take the chance to impress his new manager Ranieri as well as Liverpool, who have been linked with the Hornets winger? Both questions are discussed before the panel pick Klopp’s team for him and make their score predictions.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

Regular guests Kieth Culvin, Ste Monaghan and John Nicolson, plus Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman, join Peter Hooton for the latest Allez Les Rouges podcast. Assessing the season so far, while the panel are happy with what they've seen from Jurgen Klopp's Reds, Coleman believes they need to get back to being one thing going into the trips to Watford and Atletico Madrid. Both games are previewed before talk turns to comments made by Gini Wijnaldum and Mohamed Salah's contract situation. Coleman gives a football manager's perspective into situations like the one faced by Wijnaldum and now Salah before giving his thoughts on the use of analytics in football, which are so well used by Liverpool. There's also an interesting chat on the takeover of Newcastle United, what it means for football, and what would happen if Liverpool were bought out.

So for this week's Blood Red Club exclusive podcast, Matt Addison speaks to Watford fan and head of content services at Twenty3, Tom Bodell, to get the lowdown on the Hornets ahead of the clash.
