Summary

Liverpool may not be Premier League champions, but it was still a campaign to celebrate and be proud of. It was also a season for some deep thinking and analysis - and that's exactly what Kristian Walsh and Josh Williams do as they decipher Jurgen Klopp's 97-point haul. An overarching view of the season - what went right (a lot), what went wrong (not much) - is offered, while there is also an interesting look at where the Reds might be able to usurp Manchester City next season with yet more marginal gains. An interesting pressing trend is also discussed, as is the efforts of Sadio Mane, who could be one of the more complete strikers in Europe right now. There is also a look at how Klopp and his Liverpool side went so close, and what is needed next to push them over the line. A must-listen.

0:00.0	This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.
0:09.0	Hello everybody and welcome to analyzing Anfield. I'm your host Christian Wall Shan with me as always is
0:15.4	Josh Williams. Don't know what number of episode this is now to be honest we've
0:18.8	been doing it long enough so maybe we'll start giving the nice little titles
0:21.9	instead this one is known as the one after
0:24.6	Liverpool very, very nearly won the Premier League. I know there's a bit of a heavy heart to say
0:29.1	on that but you've got to be proud of them. You have to, you know, you have to, you have to take it on the chin I suppose and
0:35.0	and say that the Premier League saw two absolutely phenomenal fantastic teams
0:39.0	hopefully are not too down I know I'm not too down. Josh, how are you feeling?
0:44.0	I'm all right, I didn't expect, didn't expect then to be honest. You said for a long, long time,
0:49.9	Brighton, no chance. Yeah. I don't get wrong with that. It's one of your most insightful comments. I think a lot of people said that. But you know, there's a little glimmer of hopes, isn't he?
1:00.4	Do you know what, I'm surprised to even give us that. I'm genuinely shocked that he even took the lead.
1:05.6	First time since December that says you can see the first goal. Yeah it's the third time all season
1:10.8	that have conceded the opening goal and in them two other matches this is the
1:15.2	this is the target in the heart now in them two other matches one draw one loss
1:20.4	so this is the first time all season that they've conceded the opening goal and went on to win.
1:25.2	So is the first comeback win basically? First comeback win yeah really
1:29.3	which is frustrating. I want the one thing I've said I'm not sure I've actually mentioned it on the pod is I'd like them to just be tested
1:36.7	and just go a goal down or have to find a goal from somewhere, a little bit scrappy and things and it was never happening, but for Brighton to
1:47.2	score the first goal, I suppose you could perceive that as some kind of test even though it only lasted
