Welcome to your latest podcast on the Blood Red channel with a man who is not only a big Liverpool fan, but also one of the best young managers in the Football League, Ryan Lowe. Now you may remember the podcast we did with Ryan last summer before his Bury side took on his beloved Reds in a pre-season friendly at Gigg Lane. Well it turned out the words Jurgen Klopp said to the 40-year-old after the match helped inspire what was an incredible season for the Shakers. Bury won promotion to League One after scoring an impressive 82 goals in 46 games. But what made that achievement all the more remarkable was the off-the-field problems that Ryan, his coaching team and his players had to deal with. And sadly for Bury, it’s got much, much worse since then. They’ve been deducted 12 points, their opening game of the new League One season has been suspended, and there is a real threat they could be expelled from the Football League. Ryan took the reluctant but understandable decision to leave for Plymouth Argyle, who will be looking to win immediate promotion back to League One this season. So, in a catch-up with Paul Wheelock, Ryan not only talks about his new job and his time at Bury, but also the support Jurgen Klopp has shown him since their first meeting 12 months ago, a shock visit from Kenny Dalglish, and what it was like watching Liverpool be crowned champions of Europe for the sixth time as a fan in Madrid.

Join Dan Austin and Dan Morgan as they talk about the options the 22-year-old has after his spectacular individual strike against the French outfit.

Isn't it amazing what the return of world-class players can do for a team? With Alisson Becker, Naby Keita, Xherdan Shaqiri, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah thrown straight back into the starting line-up after returning to training, Liverpool rounded off their pre-season preparations with a 3-1 win over Lyon. The win went some way to erasing the memory of what was a pretty poor performance against Napoli at Murrayfield - and it does leave the defending champions of Europe looking in much better shape for Sunday’s Community Shield against Manchester City. We'll have much more on that on the Blood Red channel in the coming days, but this podcast concentrates on what went down in Geneva, starting with the verdict of our Reds reporter Ian Doyle, which is followed by Jurgen Klopp's press conference in full, in which the Liverpool manager discusses the the future of Harry Wilson, whose brilliant goal sealed the victory. *We now have a Blood Red YouTube channel.

It's the Allez Les Rouges podcast with a difference! Host Peter Hooton and regular guests Ste Monaghan, Kieth Culvin, John Nicolson and Joe Blott are holidaying in Sorrento and so watched Sunday's friendly at Murrayfield alongside Napoli fans bar in a bar in south-west Italy - and it's from there where they recorded their latest show. Split into two halves, reacting to the first half and then reflecting after the second, our panel wonder whether the 3-0 defeat to the Italians is a cause for concern and whether a fired-up Napoli side is a sign of things to come. They also try to pick out the positives but struggle to see them in the performance of one Liverpool midfielder. They also state which back-up striker must starts Sunday's Community Shield clash with Manchester City even though Mohamad Salah and Roberto Firmino are back. Before the podcast ends with an interesting debate about the club's move to trademark the word 'Liverpool'. With Peter playing devil's advocate, it's asked whether the move is good business sense or it is the thin end of the wedge. Enjoy.

With the Reds off to France for a week-long training camp, the press conference was brought forward, and staged in Edinburgh, just over 12 hours since their 3-0 defeat to Napoli at Murrayfield. On the agenda, apart from the showdown with Premier League champions City, was why the training camp will be ‘massively important’ to the European Cup winners, when Klopp will be able to call on the returning Alisson Becker, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, the emergence of Rhian Brewster, and the future of Ryan Kent.

It is only pre-season, three of the big guns are back in training tomorrow, and it is only eight weeks since Liverpool were crowned champions of Europe.

Ian Doyle was on reporting duty for the ECHO at the home of Scottish rugby, and it is his verdict on what was at times an embarrassing afternoon that kick off this podcast. You will then hear Jurgen Klopp's press conference in full, which includes his thoughts on the game, the cameo of 16-year-old new boy Harvey Elliott, the future of Ryan Kent, and why his side will be a 'different animal' in next Sunday's Community Shield against Manchester City.

Eight weeks on sinceLiverpool made it six in Madrid, we catch up with Jordan Henderson’s former academy coach at Sunderland, Kevin Ball. Ball, who’s worked as a mentor through Henderson’s career, catches up with Blood Red a year on from reflecting on Champions League and World Cup heartbreak for his former protege to explain the characteristics behind the Liverpool captain’s determination to make amends. Through the course of the interview, Ball and host Guy Clarke touch on the makings of Henderson from a youngster on the training pitches at Sunderland to lifting the European Cup in Madrid. They delve into the mental toughness to bounce back from adversity to lead the Reds to number six as well as the humility shown in wanting to share the moment with manager Jurgen Klopp and team-mate James Milner. As well as the mental aspects, there’s a profile of his technical abilities and how that’s put him in a position to be a leader for both club and country. And moving forward, Ball gives an insight into the mindset of the captain as Liverpool look to go one further than last season in the Premier League, ahead of the new season getting underway in just 13 days.

Welcome to the final Blood Red podcast. From America. Whereas last year's tour of the US went swimmingly, 12 months on things did not quite go to plan for Liverpool, if not off the pitch, then certainly on it. Fittingly, then, our final dispatch from Stateside goes a little awry. It starts with Ian Doyle and Kristian Walsh looking back on the 2-2 draw with Sporting Lisbon at the Yankee Stadium before the duo are joined halfway through the podcast by Goal's Neil Jones to pick out the Reds' winners and losers from the three matches played in America. But before they can finish that section, the reporters are interrupted by an employee from the hotel they were staying at in New York and have now left. We've kept it in for posterity. And what also made the cut are the concerns the trio have 10 days before the Community Shield with Manchester City and why next week is so important for Jurgen Klopp. Enjoy.

So that's another American tour over. After defeats to Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla, Liverpool wrapped up their stay in the States with a 2-2 draw at the Yankee Stadium in New York against a Sporting Lisbon side led impressively by their captain Bruno Fernandes. Our Reds reporter Ian Doyle kicks this podcast off by giving his take on the action - we'll be hearing more from him later today in the final Blood Red US Tour Diary - before you can listen to Jurgen Klopp's after-match press conference in full. It's a good one and it includes his thoughts on Fernandes, who could be signing for Manchester United, but as the Liverpool manager makes clear, not their bitter rivals from the other end of the East Lancs.
