Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Reds fans Ross Strachan and Matt Whitty join host Paul Wheelock to talk life without Liverpool, the prospect of finishing the season behind closed doors, and why that Atletico Madrid match at Anfield ever took place given the serious events that followed it, in the UK. Understandably, the first half of this podcast focuses on the impact the coronavirus has had on the club and sport we all love, but in the second half the trio try to lift the mood and look back on the players of the season so far and that moment that you knew the title was coming home. That will still happen - and, when it does, given everything that's happening in the world, it could be all the more sweeter. Enjoy.

From Jurgen Klopp, to transfer tales of years gone by and also, 'support' from Manchester United. All bases are covered on the latest Blood Red podcast. Guy Clarke is joined by Paul Gorst, Sean Bradbury and Connor Dunn to talk through the latest news regarding Liverpool, before we take a trip down memory lane, once more. First up is reaction from the team to Jurgen Klopp's comments after the Reds manager spoke via a Q&A on club's own website, sharing his thanks for the incredible work the NHS are doing, as well as other key workers, before touching on how the coronavirus outbreak was affecting Liverpool even prior to the suspension of Premier League football. From there we move to talking about transfers that never quite, for one reason or another happened for Liverpool. Whether that be Portuguese winger Simao who looked set to arrive from Benfica, or Alexis Sanchez who instead opted for Arsenal or even Nemanja Vidic who Rafa Benitez held interest in prior to his move to Old Trafford. And talking of Old Trafford, we end on Manchester United's stance that they are keen to see the resumption of Premier League football, with Liverpool set to secure their first Premier League title.

There's no stopping Fitzy! Even with football suspended, Poetry in Motion continues on the Blood Red channel (with the thanks to modern technology). Joining Neil Fitzmaurice are Paul Gorst and Caoimhe O'Neill as they look back on a rather bizarre two weeks as the Reds have gone from being within days of claiming their first league title in 30 years to now having to wait for football to return. With football in limbo we discuss the differing view points on how the season could conclude, before getting into transfer talk. Timo Werner, Kylian Mbappe, Kalidou Koulibaly, Adama Traore and Todd Cantwell, what could each of them bring to Anfield and would they fit what Jurgen Klopp is doing with the Reds. And what about outgoings? Could Dejan Lovren, Xherdan Shaqiri and even Sadio Mane be following Adam Lallana through the exit door? Enjoy!

For the latest Analysing Anfield we’re heading back to February 2014, as table-topping Arsenal came to Anfield only to be humiliated 5-1. With Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling all taking centre stage it was an afternoon on which Brendan Rodgers’ side outlined their Premier League intentions. Join us as Josh Williams and David Hughes look back on the game and unpick how Rodgers outwitted Arsene Wenger, leading to the Gunners' collapse. With Philippe Coutinho also playing a vital role, the guys even venture into the Brazilian’s future with his days at Barcelona appearing numbered.

It was eight years ago today that a 17-year-old by the name of Raheem Sterling was brought on for his Liverpool debut by Kenny Dalglish. In doing so, Sterling became the third youngest player in the Reds’ history, and over the next four seasons he went on to make 129 appearances for the club, underlining his status as one of the game’s brightest young talents. However, his actions leading up to his £49m move to Manchester City in the summer of 2015 left a bad taste in the mouth of Liverpool supporters that lingers to this day. But is it time to move on? To forget, if not forgive? And with Sterling fluttering his eyelashes at Real Madrid, and history potentially repeating itself, would you have him back at Anfield if the chance arose? Sterling himself hasn’t ruled it out. With Guy Clarke mediating, Theo Squires and Matt Addison go head-to-head in our new podcast, Split Opinion.

With football suspended due to recent events, here on Blood Red we have a new offering for you in the shape of our Red Memories podcast. To kick us off, six years to the day from Liverpool scoring six down in the Welsh capital, Guy Clarke and Dan Kay look back on the 6-3 success at Cardiff City. They talk through the game, of course, but also the significance of the result and the season as a whole as the Reds came within touching distance of securing a first Premier League title, with Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, Steven Gerrard, Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling all playing crucial role in Brendan Rodgers' all-out attacking side.

Thirty years ago today Ronny Rosenthal signed for Liverpool, initially on loan, before his move from Standard Liege was made permanent that summer for £1m. By then, he had already etched his name into Liverpool folklore. In a podcast originally published earlier this year, Matt Addison speaks to the striker who made a late but crucial contribution to the Reds' 1990 title triumph. Enjoy.

There's bigger things going on in the world right now but it's only human if any Liverpool fan had thought themselves that today was going to be the day they finally got to see their side be crowned league champions once again. Just tws wins away from the Premier League title, the Reds would have sealed top spot with victories over Everton last Monday and Crystal Palace this evening. But, of course, both matches were postponed by the outbreak of the coronavirus in this country and across the world. The health and well-being of your family and friends is what matters now but as Jamie Carragher wrote yesterday, football will leave a void in our lives until it returns. And that is the theme of The Agenda podcast, hosted by Paul Wheelock and featuring the Liverpool ECHO's chief LFC writer Ian Doyle. Enjoy - and we'll be back tomorrow with two podcasts.

Guy Clarke is joined by the ECHO's Liverpool correspondent Paul Gorst, as well as Connor Dunn and Theo Squires, for all of that and more - including just how we bring you the latest edition of the podcast!

We speak to football finance expert Kieran Maguire to talk what impact the suspension of the Premier League and football across the world could have on Liverpool and fellow clubs. When will football return? Will Euro 2020 be cancelled? And what happens to players set to be out of contract on June 30, like Adam Lallana, if the season is extended past then? Kieran attempts to answer those questions and also talks to Matt Addison about Liverpool’s record-breaking kit deal with Nike, who will replace New Balance as the club’s shirt manufacturer in the summer, and why we could be seeing a very different transfer market in the months and maybe years ahead.
