Summary

It’s been a long week for our new chief Liverpool FC writer Ian Doyle, and for Dan Kay, after travelling to Istanbul and then Southampton to watch the Reds add to their trophy haul and maintain their perfect start to the season. But that does not stop the duo from guesting on our first Blood Red podcast of the week, hosted by Sean Bradbury. Top of the agenda is the man who scored three of Liverpool’s four goals against Chelsea and Southampton – Sadio Mane. Just how important has the Senegalese striker become for the Reds? And why shouldn’t he considered for the Ballon D’Or? Ian and Doyle answer those questions before tackling an even tougher one from Sean. Up next is Adrian’s Loris Karius-style howler on the south coast, the greatest Reds goals that never were, and why the slack defending that has blighted the opening three victories somewhat should not be a major cause for concern. And another must-listen podcast rounds off with why Liverpool fans should not laugh at Manchester City’s luck with VAR – or the Bayern Munich-bound Philippe Coutinho’s plight at Barcelona.
