Summary

Sam Carroll hosts the second and final Blood Red podcast of the week as the ECHO shuffle their pack.Usual hosts Ian Doyle and Joe Rimmer are both ruled out, meaning third-choice Carroll steps to the fore.Our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce is on board, though, and he's joined by two January signings for the ECHO, Caoimhe O'Neill, who is celebrating a month in her new role on the team, and Sean Bradbury, who was recently appointed as our sports audience editor.With the massive game at Manchester United to come on Sunday, the quartet have a lot to get through and begin with Jurgen Klopp's pre-match press conference.Klopp discussed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's work at Old Trafford since replacing Jose Mourinho and tipped the United legend to remain in the role beyond the end of this season.Was it mind games? Or genuine flattery?The panel are unanimous in their decision before moving on to the big debate - who should Klopp select in his midfield three against the Red Devils?Another uniform decision is reached before tactics, Naby Keita, young stars and a lads' trip to Zagreb also make the cut.Send your thoughts to @SamCarroll0 after listening to the podcast and join our dedicated Facebook Group Blood Red Podcast HERE.
