Summary

The Blood Red podcast is back, a little earlier than usual, to discuss the draw with Leicester City that extended Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League to five points, but left fans wondering whether their side had just wasted a golden opportunity.Our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce admits it was a frustrating night, but adds that it could have been worse, which leads host Ian Doyle to question whether it was actually a good result. Joe Rimmer and Paul Gorst disagree.So often Anfield inspires the Reds to glory but did the nerves and tension that undoubtedly existed in the crowd on Wednesday night have a negative effect on the players?The panel discuss that before talks turn to the performance of referee Martin Atkinson, whether Liverpool are getting a raw deal when it comes to penalties, and how Naby Keita got on after he was handed a starting place in his preferred position.Kyle Walker’s deleted tweet, Manchester City's desire and even Brexit get a mention before James gives us an insight into Lazar Markovic’s existence at Liverpool. It’s worth listening for that story alone.At the time of recording, there was little in the way of activity in or out of Anfield on transfer deadline day, and Ian asks whether Jurgen Klopp has made a mistake by not dipping into the market, before the podcast rounds off by previewing the trip to West Ham on Monday and predicting the Liverpool line-up at the London Stadium.Enjoy.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
