Welcome to Post-Game podcast to react to Liverpool’s 4-1 win over Aston Villa’s kids in Friday's FA Cup third-round tie. Two goals from Sadio Mane and one each for Gini Wijnaldum and Mohamed Salah ensured the Reds returned to winning ways and booked their place in Monday’s draw for the fourth and the fifth rounds. But as you will hear over the course of this podcast, they did not have it all their own way against a Villa side consisting of seven U23 players, and four U18s, after the club’s entire first-team squad went into isolation after a significant coronavirus outbreak. You’ll hear from four of our regular fan callers – Alex Watt, Mark Baker, Matt Whitty and Owen Thomas. But we’ll start at Villa Park with the verdict of the Liverpool ECHO’s chief LFC writer Ian Doyle – and then Jurgen Klopp’s short post-match press conference. Please note, the audio for the press conference, which lasts no more than three minutes, is not great, due to a problem at the Villa end.Like our podcasts and videos? Then we'd love

The word from inside the club is that it's unlikely Liverpool will be signing a centre-back this month. But can they afford not to? Dan Morgan is joined by Ollie Connolly, Joel Rabinowitz and Mark Wakefield to answer that question in the first Liverpool.com podcast of 2021. The show returns after the Reds went on a three-match Premier League winless run for the first time since April 2018. So the panel assess what is currently going wrong for Jurgen Klopp’s side – by their incredibly high standards – and what they can do to fix it. Would a new centre-back solve everything? That question leads to a lengthy discussion about the club’s current transfer stance and whether it should change, before the podcast ends with a preview of the FA Cup tie at Aston Villa. Please note, the podcast was recorded before Villa reported an outbreak of coronavirus in their squad.

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has long been expected to be among the contenders when Jurgen Klopp departs Anfield - but this season has really proven why. Matt Addison explores the Rangers manager's season so far, as well as the wider job that he has done in Scotland, by speaking to Jonny McFarlane, of the Daily Recordm and David Hughes, tactics writer and Analysing Anfield co-host. The similarities between Liverpool and Rangers are clear in almost every regard, from the pressure of the job and having to win every single game to the way that both teams utilise their full-backs, and everything in between. Rangers are flying high at the top of the table and are already into the last-32 of the Europa League where they will face Royal Antwerp, with Gerrard's style and management, clearly influenced by Klopp, really beginning to come into its own. And with Gerrard and Klopp both under contract until the summer of 2024, the stars are certainly aligning for the Liverpool legend to at least make the shortlist of Kl

Happy New Year and welcome to the first Blood Red podcast of 2021 as Ian Doyle and Theo Squires join Joe Rimmer for all the big Liverpool talking points – the draw with Newcastle United, Thiago Alcantara, the challenge from Manchester United, the transfer window, and the trip to Southampton.

While, according to Theo, is it worth bringing in Diego Costa now that the former Chelsea forward has been freed by Atletico Madrid? A preview of Monday’s match at Southampton follows before the podcast ends with the usual score and team predictions – plus who Joe, Ian and Theo believe will win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
