Blood Red: The Liverpool Fc Podcast

Liverpool will return for pre-season on Monday, July 12th but with several stars still on holiday after Euro 2020 and the Copa America, there will be a few gaps that need filling by youngsters in the early weeks. Matt Addison joins Paul Wheelock to give you the lowdown on the academy starlets who could make a splash as Liverpool return, with Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff set to run the rule over the best of the up-and-coming Reds talents. Should Neco Williams leave this summer, there could be a chance for Conor Bradley to step up and become Trent Alexander-Arnold's understudy. But is he ready? And who else could have a chance to establish themselves in first-team training? Mateusz Musialowski and Tyler Morton and two of the most likely names.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

Liverpool supporters, certainly on Merseyside, have a difficult relationship with the England national team for reasons that go beyond the footballing ones. But Reds fans will be enjoying what has been a fantastic Euro 2020 so far and no doubt many will have watched England book their place in the quarter-finals with an historic 2-0 victory over Germany at Wembley on Tuesday. Naturally, excitement is building across the country that, to borrow the lyrics of Scouser and Liverpool fan Ian Broudie from his famous 'Three Lions' song, it could be 'coming home'. But can Gareth Southgate's side actually go on to win the Euros and end their 55-year wait for a major trophy? So who better to answer that question than Josh Williams and David Hughes, our tactical experts who deal in facts and not opinions? Touching on Southgate's starting line-ups, his use of Jack Grealish and the form of Harry Kane, they dig deep into the numbers to assess England's performances so far and what it all means going into Saturday's last-ei

Here is your first exclusive podcast after signing up to the Blood Red Club - and what a belter it is too! Guido Schäfer was the journalist who broke the story back on May 28th that highly-rated RB Leipzig defender Ibrahima Konate was to become Liverpool's first signing of the summer. Guido's sources are impeccable - as is his knowledge of the game, Leipzig and Konate. A former team-mate of Jurgen Klopp's when the Liverpool manager was a player at FSV Mainz 05, Guido now covers the Red Bull-owned club for the Leipziger Volkszeitung newspaper in Germany. And in this exclusive podcast for Blood Red Club members, he gives an unrivalled insight into the deal that has brought Konate to Merseyside, what the France Under-21 international centre-back is like as a person and as a player, and what he will offer to Klopp's side. So good is Guido's insight, he recalls a conversation between Klopp and Red Bull supremo Ralf Rangnick that shows the Reds boss has been watching Konate for some time. Plus, he also explains a

As Takumi Minamino’s loan spell with Southampton comes to an end, Matt Addison explores the Japan international’s future at Anfield, and if he has one, how do Liverpool get the best out of him? To help Matt do that, he speaks to Tom Middler from excellent Austrian football podcast The Other Bundesliga (@OtherBundesliga), who gives an insight into what made Minamino such an exciting prospect at Red Bull Salzburg. Minamino played at Salzburg alongside Erling Haaland before the goalscoring sensation’s departure to Borussia Dortmund. Haaland has been successfully replaced at the Red Bull club by Patson Daka, who having been extensively linked to Liverpool, now seems set for Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City. So what have Liverpool potentially missed out on? And what are Leicester and the Premier League getting in Daka?
