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

Hello everybody and welcome along to the Blood Red Podcast courtesy of the Liverpool Echo.

northwest of England. Talk about a pretty damp Liverpool performance at the weekend,

16 second leg tie against Relredred on Wednesday.

Well joining me on the pod today we've got an international panel as the

Gorsley, I presume it's a bit nicer in the harsh conditions you faced in Bormuth on Saturday.
