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

Shocked, startled, stunned, Aston Villa 7, Liverpool 2.

It's the Blood Red Podcast, courtesy of the Liverpool Echo,

as we react to the Red's worst defeat in some 57 years.

High defensive line, error-prone goalkeeping, empty stadiums.

All will be discussed and dissected as we somehow try to make sense of what happened at

Villa Park alongside myself Guy Clark.

We have our Liverpool correspondent Paul Gorsst,

straight-talking Joe Rimmer and our chief Liverpool writer Ian Doyle.

No time for pleasantries today guys. I'll come straight to you Doolly.

You were at Villa Park what happened

um we're gonna put lost seven three kind of a year seven two see I can't even count

yeah it was just very strange wasn't it? Very, very strange. Strange up to a

point. If you actually watch the game you'd have gone, well that's fair enough.

Liverpool were absolutely appalled. It's certainly the way that they apparently

defended. I mean, what we're going to have to get used to, we can come on to all the reasons for

Liverpool's performance, but what we're going to have to get used to is something that I said on Twitter last week when

City got beat 5-2 on by Leicester that there's going to be loads of games like this.

You saw two yesterday.

Although United were down to 10 men against Tottenham, but you still wouldn't expect them to lose 6, 1 at home.

Certainly wouldn't expect Liverpool to lose 7 to at Astonville.

So, I mean, it was just, even from the first minute you could tell that Liverpool weren't at it.
