Summary

Just how good are Liverpool? Very good - as Saturday's 3-1 win over Arsenal at Anfield proved. And the Blood Red podcast is back to analyse the impressive victory that maintained the Reds' perfect start to the season and extended their lead at the top. After a mea culpa (of sorts) from host Joe Rimmer, Theo Squires, Dan Kay and our returning Liverpool FC correspondent Paul Gorst get stuck into the big talking points from the weekend, starting with the surprise tactics deployed by the Gunners, why it could be start of things to come, but why that is of no major concern. Talk then turns to two defenders who endured contrasting evenings at Anfield - David Luiz and Joel Matip. Regarding the Liverpool centre-back, the panel wonder whether Matip is now firmly established as Virgil van Dijk's defensive partner and just when his new deal will be agreed. Joe then struggles to find new words to describe Mohamed Salah but Dan does as he pays a huge compliment to Roberto Firmino. And, with good reason, there's also a lot of love for another of the Reds' Brazilian contingent. Enjoy.
