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

Hello and welcome to the latest Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo.

I'm Matt Addison with Paul Gorse, David Lynch and Theos Squires alongside me. We'll take a look back at the Champions League win over Harvey Life 6 shortly, a look ahead to the world's game on Monday night. I'm for the feeling it might be a slightly more positive and

proposition that we could look with him in the midfield and it wasn't just what he

brought to the team in terms of closing the spaces,

getting his blocks and his tackles in and his interceptions.

So also got a bit of an underrated passing range as well,

to play his normal game and Gia Rinalon to play his natural game and it just, you know, helped Liverpool

For me, they just got to continue on now.

Clopassa just kind of accept that they're not a perfect, you know, defensive partnership.

The young, it didn't experience, you know, neither of them, you would say, an elite level, but neither have really put a foot wrong this season.
