This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo. I'm your host Beth Lindop and

Ian Doyle who hopefully are in much better form than Liverpool were on Thursday night.
