Summary

Spirits are high in the ECHO studio for the latest Blood Red podcast, hosted by Joe Rimmer and featuring our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce, Paul Gorst and Connor Dunn.That's down to the Reds' dazzling display in the 3-0 win over Bournemouth that, temporarily at least, took them back to the top of the Premier League table.Just like in the previous home game against Leicester City, Liverpool scored early, but James explains what and why it was different after that.Did the crowd, and two significant calls to arms, play a part? The panel certainly think so - and so do the players as James interestingly reveals.There is a lot of love for the superb Gini Wijnaldum and the question is asked whether his showing on Saturday proves there is a lot more to come from the Dutch midfielder.On any other day Naby Keita may have been named man of the match and the key factor in the big summer signing's resurgence is discussed.Joe also pays tribute to Fabinho, which leads to a debate over just what constitutes Jurgen Klopp's best midfield.There is no doubting Klopp's first-choice frontline, but does Sadio Mane get the credit he deserves on the world stage?Mohamed Salah certainly has that recognition, and after praise for the Egyptian's goalscoring exploits - and his choice of backpacks - talk then turns to the Reds' warm-weather training camp in Spain and whether the break has come at a good time.Manchester City moved back above Liverpool at the summit on Sunday with a six-goal demolition of a sorry Chelsea side.But, while there's plenty of admiration for Pep Guardiola's team, there is also a timely reminder.Enjoy!
