Ahead of the Champions League last-16 second-leg tie against RB Leipzig on Wednesday, we get the lowdown on a player who Liverpool will be up against in Budapest, and who, if reports are to be believed, is a possible summer transfer target for Jurgen Klopp. Ibrahima Konate is thought to have a release clause similar - €40m - to fellow Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano, who is moving to Bayern Munich. Konate is being tipped to follow Upamecano in leaving the Bundesliga outfit in the near future - with Liverpool one of the clubs to have been linked with the 21-year-old Frenchman. So what type of player is he? Would he be worth the money? And would he sign for the Reds even without Champions League football? Matt Addison speaks to former team-mate of Liverpool boss Klopp, Guido Schafer, who is now a journalist for Leipzig-based newspaper Leipziger Volkszeitung, and then Josh Williams, our tactics and analytics writer, to find out whether there could - or should - be anything in links between the Premier League champions and Konate.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCJoin our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/ Learn more about your ad choices.

After Liverpool lost to Chelsea and then Fulham, what do the numbers say about their current slump? Well, the pattern is interesting, if not particularly encouraging for the rest of the 2020/21 season. Join Josh Williams and David Hughes as they talk through the numbers, statistics and underlying metrics and question whether a change of tactics from Jurgen Klopp could be the answer - or even if it should have already been done. After that comes a look into Steven Gerrard's Rangers and the incredible job the Liverpool legend is doing in Scotland, with the metrics for his team favourable compared to any of the top clubs around Europe, particularly on the defensive side. There is then a preview of Liverpool's second-leg Champions League last-16 tie with RB Leipzig, and a look forward to Wolves in the Premier League on Monday night - with both matches, particularly the European one, potentially tricky in their own ways.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCJoin our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Jurgen Klopp and Gini Wijnaldum have been speaking with the media ahead of Liverpool's Champions League round of 16 second leg with RB Leipzig. On the day the German FA confirmed Joachim Low will stand down after Euro 2020 in the summer, Klopp's press conference was dominated by links to the upcoming vacancy. Meanwhile, Wijnaldum spoke about the impact of no fans at Anfield on the Reds' current run of form as well as his own contract situation, with his current deal due to expire in the summer.

Blood Red was invited to speak with RB Leipzig left-back Angelino ahead of the Bundesliga side's Champions League last-16 second-leg clash with Liverpool on Wednesday (March 10). The former Manchester City defender has faced Liverpool at their best before and says it is only a matter of time before the Reds get back to that level, while he was also scathing in his criticism of former manager at the Etihad Stadium, Pep Guardiola. Our own Matt Addison asked Angelino about Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and his side's chances of progressing to the Champions League quarter-finals, while there were also questions about Trent Alexander-Arnold and Leipzig's highly-rated manager Julian Nagelsmann. The Spaniard also revealed his thoughts on why Liverpool have struggled this season, praising Virgil van Dijk.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCJoin our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Paul Gorst, Ian Doyle, David Lynch and host Guy Clarke for the Blood Red podcast as they talk Jurgen Klopp, Mohamed Salah and Liverpool’s continued fall from grace. The Reds lost 1-0 to Chelsea on Thursday night to put their Champions League hopes in jeopardy with Klopp’s call to take Salah off raising eyebrows – most notably with the Egyptian forward’s agent. Liverpool have not been helped by a series of injuries to centre-backs and defensive midfielders. But after suffering a fifth straight home loss for the first time in the club’s history, can that completely explain their worrying form? The panel try to answer that question, looking at the lack of creativity and threat, the midfield 'pressing problem', FSG and the club’s recruitment, plus some of Klopp's recent decisions, including the one to hook Salah against Chelsea. And after the inquest ends, and VAR is given a good kicking, it's time for team selections and score predictions for the visit of Fulham to Anfield on Sunday.
