Blood Red: The Liverpool Fc Podcast

Welcome to the Post-Game podcast to react to a bad end to a bad week. Liverpool let two points slip from their grasp in having to draw 1-1 at Leeds United on Monday night. But at that time it didn’t seem to matter so much given the spectre of the European Super League that was controversially endorsed by the club’s owners FSG. Now thanks to the actions of fans, players and managers, including Liverpool boss JUrgen Klopp and captain Jordan Henderson, plans for the breakaway league collapsed almost as quickly they had been unveiled. That meant today’s visit of Newcastle United to Anfield took on renewed significance – as victory would have taken the Reds into fourth place. But, just like against Leeds, they conceded late on, and had to settle for a 1-1 draw that means their hopes of earning a place in next season’s Champions League are now in the balance. We get the verdicts of the Liverpool ECHO’s LFC correspondent Paul Gorst, plus Reds fans Mark Baker, Mike Holt and Owen Thomas, and we hear Klopp’s post-match

After a week in which the European Super League was announced and then collapsed, there is plenty to discuss on the latest Blood Red podcast. Matt Addison is joined by Ian Doyle, Joe Rimmer and David Lynch as they reflect on a busy week in football, not least for FSG and Liverpool, including what comes next for the US owners. There is then a chat about the press conference that Jurgen Klopp conducted this afternoon, with his comments on FSG dissected, as well as a preview of tomorrow's visit of Newcastle United to Anfield - which is back to being an important game in the context of the Champions League chase. The podcast concludes with the panel's starting XIs being selected for the match, as well as score predictions being made.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCSign up for our Liverpool FC newsletters: https://data.reachplc.com/210734476470860Join our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/ Learn

Listen to Jurgen Klopp's press conference in full ahead of Liverpool's visit of Newcastle United to Anfield. Inevitably it was dominated by questions over the doomed European Super League proposals and the part Liverpool's owners FSG played in them. But Klopp also talks about Newcastle, the race for the top four, and the fitness of Nat Phillips, Curtis Jones and Jordan Henderson, as well as ending online speculation that Diogo Jota had picked up an injury.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCSign up for our Liverpool FC newsletters: https://data.reachplc.com/210734476470860Join our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/ Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s been one of the most dramatic weeks in the history of modern football and Neil Fitzmaurice is back with his must-listen Poetry in Motion podcast to get some things off his chest. But before Fitzy, Sean Bradbury and show debutant Marcus Banks get stuck into the rise and fall of the European Super League and FSG’s part in it, there’s a bit of housekeeping to do as they quickly look back on the draws with Real Madrid and Leeds United. But the majority of the pod focuses of the events of an extraordinary few days. No punches are pulled on FSG, John Henry and his apology while Fitzy is particularly keen to point out that the Premier League, UEFA, FIFA and Boris Johnson, who were all quick to jump on the Super League proposals, are not exactly paragons of virtue themselves. And a superb podcast ends with Sean and Marcus suggesting the one way Liverpool’s owners could row back some of the criticism they have brought on themselves by not consulting the fans, Jurgen Klopp and his players over the breakaway compet

As the dust settles on the European Super League fiasco, Josh Williams and David Alexander Hughes return with an Analysing Anfield podcast with a difference. Right now FSG’s long-term future as Liverpool’s owners is being questioned given the part principal owner John W Henry played in the despised developments for the breakaway competition. Henry has apologised for his actions but for many supporters this could be the beginning of the end for the Boston-based group. But while support is currently in short supply, would Liverpool be better off without FSG from a sporting perspective? It’s a difficult balancing act that Josh and Dave examine before turning their attentions back to the actual football, which thankfully means something again after the Super League proposals collapsed. Reviewing the draw at Leeds United, and the race for the top four, they finish the podcast by previewing Saturday’s visit of Newcastle United to Anfield.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.co

Liverpool owner John W Henry has apologised to fans for his part in the European Super League proposals after they were scrapped amidst significant backlash. So the morning after the night before, Dan Morgan is joined by Joel Rabinowitz, Matt Addison and David Lynch as the Liverpool.com Podcast reacts to the news and reflects on a remarkable 48 hours in which the future football came under threat. But what happens next? For Henry and FSG, is there a way that they can recover from the damage they have caused? And if not, how should fans respond and where should their anger be directed? The European Super League might well be over, but the implications and impacts for the future of Liverpool and their owners might only just be beginning.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCSign up for our Liverpool FC newsletters: https://data.reachplc.com/210734476470860Join our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/

Liverpool have withdrawn from the European Super League along with the five other English clubs. The news represents a huge victory for football fans and the biggest FSG U-turn yet.

The European Super League looks like it is collapsing before our eyes tonight. But earlier today, for the second episode of The Bottom Line, Matt Addison and Dave Powell spoke to football finance expert Kieran Maguire to understand why FSG have signed up to the controversial competition. The plans for the breakaway league have been slated in almost all quarters since they were unveiled on Sunday - with the European game thrown into turmoil. It now appears like the proposals will not be forced through. But this podcast with Kieran remains a revealing listen. From TV rights and transfers to Nike and sponsors, every aspect of Liverpool FC and the wider top-level game would be impacted if the Super League came to fruition, with the only positive being the additional lining of the pockets for the owners of the 12 clubs involved.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCSign up for our Liverpool FC newsletters: https://data.reachplc.com/210734476470860Join

Liverpool drew 1-1 with Leeds United in the Premier League last night - but after the proposals surrounding the European Super League (ESL), does it even matter? So for the latest Blood Red podcast, Matt Addison is joined by Theo Squires and Kai Delaney to discuss the game, including debating whether or not Liverpool should sign Ozan Kabak on a permanent deal for his £18m clause come the summer, but there are clearly more pressing issues to be resolved before then. Jurgen Klopp and James Milner were both as strong as they could be on the ESL in their post-match interviews, before Pep Guardiola added his weight to be debate today. And with Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson also reportedly organising a captain's meeting between the Premier League skippers to share and voice any concerns, the panel commend his actions and discuss what FSG must do next.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCSign up for our Liverpool FC newsletters: https://data.reach

Liverpool might be out of the Champions League but they still have plenty to play for this season, starting with Leeds United on Monday night. So on the latest Analysing Anfield podcast, Josh Williams and David Hughes assess what went wrong in the Real Madrid second leg at Anfield, including pondering how Liverpool can fix Sadio Mane's form, before they give insight into what to expect from Marcelo Bielsa’s side. Our hosts talk through the threat of Leeds forward Raphinha, who has been linked with a transfer move to Liverpool as a possible Mohamed Salah successor, and why the Brazilian would be a good fit under Jurgen Klopp, as well as taking a wider look at whether a squad rebuild is needed sooner rather than later after what so far has been a difficult campaign.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCSign up for our Liverpool FC newsletters: https://data.reachplc.com/210734476470860Join our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook

Liverpool have been knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid at the quarter-final stage following a goalless draw at Anfield, having lost 3-1 away in the first leg.

As reports emerged this week Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga will reject a new contract ahead of the summer, we take a look at the youngster. With just one season more at the Ligue 1 side on his contract, Europe's top clubs will be on alert, with Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United among those to be credited with an interest in him. But what kind of player is Camavinga - who does not turn 19 until October - and would he be a good addition for Liverpool to make, not least as they try to replace Gini Wijnaldum? Matt Addison speaks to French football expert Tom Williams and tactics writer Josh Williams to get the lowdown on the teenage prodigy.
