Blood Red: The Liverpool Fc Podcast

Today is the day that Liverpool finally get their hands on the Premier League trophy. It’s the moment that Reds fans have been dreaming of – and we’ll be trying our best to capture that on the Blood Red channel. But on this podcast, we’re going to be a bit reflective, and look back on what has been an incredible season for so many reasons. As well as having a look to the future – and to see what Jurgen Klopp’s brilliant team can do next, whether they need signings, and just what the landscape could look like now that Manchester City have won their appeal against their European ban. And to help us do that, Paul Wheelock speaks to author and journalist Simon Hughes. Simon is a regular on our Allez Les Rouges podcast and he now works alongside our former Liverpool FC correspondent, James Pearce, for The Athletic. The paperback edition of Simon’s book, Allez Allez Allez, is now available to buy, so it was the ideal opportunity to pick up the phone to talk to him about that, his time covering Liverpool, and lots e

It’s the final Analysing Anfield preview podcast of the 2019-20 season but before Josh Williams and David Hughes get stuck into the games against Chelsea and Newcastle United, they look at just how newly crowned champions Liverpool somehow managed to lose at Arsenal. That then leads into a discussion about Mohamed Salah who, with a third successive Golden Boot potentially up for grabs, seems to be shooting from anywhere more than ever, and the difference between the Egyptian and his strike-partner Sadio Mane. Did the defeat at Arsenal underline the need for another forward option off the bench? Josh and Dave talk that before moving on to Chelsea, tomorrow's visitors to Anfield, and a side who will have a plethora of attacking options next season given Kai Havertz could be joining Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech at Stamford Bridge, where veteran frontman Olivier Giroud is playing some of the best football of his career. But even with buying some of the best available offensive talent on the market, will Chelsea g

Just two more sleeps. Just two more sleeps until Jordan Henderson, finally, gets his hands on the Premier League trophy.

Naturally, then, talk about the moment Reds fans worldwide have been waiting for kicks off the latest Blood Red podcast, hosted by Matt Addison and featuring Paul Gorst and Joe Rimmer. Also on the agenda is who should win the Footballer of the Year award on Friday night, comments from Michael Owen about what Jurgen Klopp should do in the transfer market this summer, Roberto Firmino’s curious Anfield goal drought, plus what’s next for Harvey Elliott.

Matt Addison speaks to Moneyball pionner Billy Beane, the man who inspired Liverpool's transfer recruitment strategy with his work with the Oakland Athletics baseball team, for an exclusive podcast. Beane is baseball's version of Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards, and was the first to put data, analytics and science into gaining marginal advantages in the transfer market – something the Reds have pretty much perfected in recent years. Beane is the man that Liverpool have looked to follow, so he is the perfect person to shed light on an area that the club try to keep secret. Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson are just three examples of how the Reds have used Beane's technique to unearth undervalued gems, and he gives Blood Red a fascinating insight about how the process works. The 58-year-old, who was played by Brad Pitt in the film Moneyball, is a close personal friend of Liverpool owner John W Henry and FSG chairman Tom Werner, while he also knows the club’s ex-sporting director Dami

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire talks about Manchester City's victory in their appeal to get their Champions League ban lifted, what it means for the future of Financial Fair Play, and the impact it will have on Liverpool. Also on the agenda is the upcoming transfer window and how it could play out for the Reds, given the current climate, and why FSG will have a weight on their minds, if they are considering moves for the likes of Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara. Plus, Matt Addison finds out what's going on with the takeover of Newcastle United.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

Welcome to the Post-Game podcast to react to Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal. The defeat means the newly crowned champions can no longer break Manchester City’s Premier League points record.

We’ll hear from a trio of our regular post-game fan callers. But we’ll start in north London by getting the verdict of Ian Doyle, the Liverpool ECHO’s chief LFC writer, and then hearing the full audio from Jurgen Klopp’s press conference.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

Liverpool travel to Arsenal this evening, still looking to reach 100 points in the Premier League. The Reds head to the Emirates knowing they need seven points from the final nine on offer to become centurions. Ahead of the match, Guy Clarke - our regular host of the Post-Game podcast and more recently Blood Red too - gives us the lowdown as an Arsenal supporter, speaking with Matt Addison. From reaction to the North London derby defeat on Sunday to the shaky backline at Arsenal, which bares resemblance, in more than one way, to that of Liverpool's from yesteryear.

Roberto Firmino is one of the first names on the team-sheet for Premier League, European and World champions Liverpool. But after failing to find the net in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Burnley, it means the Brazilian striker still hasn't scored a league goal at Anfield since March 2019. So Josh Williams and the returning Kristian Walsh dig into the underlying statistics to exanube why that is the case in the latest episode of Analysing Anfield. They also cast their eye over the stalemate with Burnley and the win at Brighton, which brought back memories of Jurgen Klopp Liverpool sides of the past, before the must-watch podcast rounds off by previewing tomorrow's trip to Arsenal.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp has been holding his regular pre-match press conference, via Zoom, ahead of Liverpool's visit to Arsenal tomorrow night.

Manchester City have had their two-year Champions League ban overturned and fine lowered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. City had been issued the ban in February after Uefa found they had committed 'serious breaches' of Financial Fair Play regulations between 2012 and 2016. But the ban has been overturned after Cas cleared the Manchester club of "disguising equity funds" through sponsorship deals done. City have been fined 10m euros. However, that is reduced from their initial 30m euros fine. Join Guy Clarke and Matt Addison as they discuss the implications of the ruling for Pep Guardiola's side, their biggest rivals Liverpool, and the integrity of the financial model moving forward.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

Fresh from delivering the club's first Premier League title, ending the 30-year wait for a 19th top-flight crown, Matt Addison explores just how John W Henry and FSG have gone about returning Liverpool to the top of English football.
