Blood Red: The Liverpool Fc Podcast

Welcome to the Post-Game podcast to react to Liverpool 0 Brighton & Hove Albion 1. After 68 games unbeaten at Anfield in the Premier League, the defending champions have now lost two on the bounce at home, with this latest defeat maybe even more disappointing than the loss to Burnley that ended that long run, given it came on the back of excellent away victories over West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur that hauled Jurgen Klopp’s side back into the title race. But now Sunday’s visit of leaders Manchester City is looking make or break for Liverpool. We’ll have plenty of build-up to that match on the Blood Red channel over the next few days. But this podcast is all about just what went wrong at Anfield on Wednesday night.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.

Liverpool are one of several clubs around Europe to be linked with a move for Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Yves Bissouma. So, Matt Addison speaks to those who have watched the 24-year-old midfielder and know his game extensively to get the lowdown on the possible Reds summer transfer target. Firstly, Brighton podcaster Charlie Haffenden explains why he feels Bissouma could become a world-class player under Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp - and outlines why a bid of £40m+ might be required to tempt the Seagulls into a sale. Analysing Anfield hosts Josh Williams and David Hughes then offer insight into the statistical and tactical factors behind the links to the Anfield giants. And those links to Bissouma are only likely to increase as the clock appears to tick down on Gini Wijnaldum's time at Liverpool.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 a

Liverpool and Michael Edwards were busy on transfer deadline day as they signed Ozan Kabak and Ben Davies. So, in this latest episode of Analysing Anfield, Josh Williams and David Hughes explain what the pair will bring to Jurgen Klopp's side and how important they could be for the remainder of the season. There is also a look back at the game last Thursday against Tottenham Hotspur, in which Liverpool picked up their first Premier League win of 2021, and last Sunday against West Ham United, where they got their second victory and appeared back to their fluid attacking best. Finally, Josh and Dave look ahead to this evening's game with Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield as they make their predictions for how that match might play out.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been speaking with the media following a busy transfer deadline day. The German spoke about why Liverpool moved for Preston North End defender Ben Davies and Schalke's Ozan Kabak.

Liverpool have signed Ozan Kabak on loan for the remainder of the season, with an option to buy the centre-back in the summer for £18m. So what will Kabak bring to Jurgen Klopp's side?

Liverpool have agreed a £2m fee with Preston North End for defender Ben Davies. But it’s probably fair to say Reds fans don’t know much above the 25-year-old. So to learn more about Davies, who better to ask than Guy Clarke? Our Blood Red podcast host is also a freelance commentator who has commentated on Preston matches for the past six seasons. So, in this special podcast, Guy tells Matt Addison all about the defender Liverpool look set to sign today before the transfer window closes.

Liverpool are up to third in the Premier League after beating West Ham United 3-1 at the London Stadium.

Liverpool got very much back on track on Thursday night with that impressive victory at Tottenham Hotspur. But they make the return trip to London today for what could be an even tougher test of their title credentials – and their ridiculously injury-hit defence. And that’s because West Ham United go into this afternoon's game on the back of six straight wins in all competitions. Four of those have come in the Premier League, which means they sit just two points behind Liverpool in fifth. So to get the inside track on the remarkable revival David Moyes is inspiring at the London Stadium, Paul Wheelock speaks to Tom Clark, who is the new West Ham reporter for the Football.London website. They also talk about Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek, whose late runs into the box remind Tom of a certain Steven Gerrard, and about Issa Diop, who is one of the centre-backs being linked to Liverpool before the transfer window closes.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpool

The injuries to Fabinho and Joel Matip may ultimately change things but for a long time in this transfer window it has appeared that Liverpool will not sign a centre-back in January. So where do they really stand in terms of football finances in a week that has seen them climb into the top five in the Deloitte Money League, moving above Manchester City? Matt Addison is joined first by football finance expert Kieran Maguire and then by the Liverpool ECHO's football and business writer Dave Powell to discuss the latest economic situation at the Reds. On the agenda are Nike, Kylian Mbappe, transfers, Anfield, revenue and more as the guests provide insight into the situation - and whether the current scrutiny of FSG is justified. The show concludes with a chat about Billy Beane and RedBall Acquisitions, with a deal to sell part of FSG to the company having now collapsed, and also the Boston Red Sox and how John W Henry and Co have coped with the pandemic at their other major sports enterprise, with reference to h

With the transfer deadline looming, do Liverpool have time to complete a deal to sign a centre-back? Following injury to Fabinho and Joel Matip, Jurgen Klopp has conceded the Reds are in the market for a new defender with no fit senior options left. Join Guy Clarke, Ian Doyle, David Lynch and Theo Squires as we assess who Klopp and Michael Edwards could turn their attentions to and how likely a deal is to take place.

Liverpool are back to winning ways following a 3-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. Roberto Firmino, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Sadio Mane were all on the scoresheet for Jurgen Klopp's side as they won for the first time in the league since the 7-0 hammering of Crystal Palace. Despite the improved fortune in front of goal, Joel Matip was forced off with ankle ligament damage at half-time, while Fabinho was also missing for the Reds.

After a turbulent few weeks for Liverpool comes a massive Premier League test in the form of Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs are now just a point behind the Reds - and with a game in hand - making this evening's clash in North London all the more crucial. Joining host Neil Fitzmaurice for the latest Poetry in Motion podcast are Sean Bradbury and Matt Addison as they preview the game and take a wider look at the problems that Liverpool are facing, and whether FSG's transfer reluctance is the right strategy to take. With everything that could be going against the Reds doing exactly that at the moment, where does the solution lie for Jurgen Klopp? That is the £100m question - the minimum amount Liverpool stand to lose if they miss out on Champions League football.

Matt Addison gets the lowdown on the starlet, who will cost an initial £1m, potentially rising to around £3m, should the Reds convince Gordon and his family that Anfield is the right move to make.
