Summary

After a long drive from Southampton, and an even longer weekend, our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce is back on the Blood Red podcast, hosted as ever by Ian Doyle and also featuring Connor Dunn. The trio discuss Jurgen Klopp's pre-Porto press conference that took place earlier in the day, where the Reds manager cut a positively upbeat figure. However, the interest from the worldwide media was not as great as it had been for Bayern Munich in the last round of the Champions League. Why was that? Our panel debate that before turning their attention to Liverpool's full-back positions. There's also plenty of praise for Roberto Firmino and expectation surrounding Mohamed Salah after the Reds' top scorer ended his goal drought. The off-the-field factor driving Liverpool's bid for the top two trophies in the game is also discussed, as is James' nightmare trip home from Southampton, before another must-listen podcast rounds off with the usual and team and score predictions.
