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

It's the Blood Red Podcast, courtesy of the Liverpool Echo, I'm Guy Clark,

as the Reds are up and running for the new campaign.

Liverpool serenated by the traveling support

on their way to a three-nier win against the Canaries.

Mohamed Sala, needing just one game of the new season to make Premier League history.

The Reds making a statement then on day one.

Here to dissect, analyze, and make their own statements on the showing at Carra Road. We have our chief

at Liverpool writer Ian Doyle and Sean Bradbury as well.

Doily was that what you expected on the opening day from Liverpool?

Well no because I thought it'd be too all to be honest.

So it was a lot better than I thought.

But I only thought that on the basis that obviously we kind of expected Van Dyke will be back and it might be a little bit tough for him with his first game back and we had Sima Kas as well, but the pair of them played pretty well.

Sima Kas was certainly encouraging.

And I can of the midfield that we selected, what was it, James Miller,

navigator and Alexo State Chamberlain, I'm not sure anybody expected those three to be playing.

Again, it pointed to it being a bit of a difficult afternoon. I mean I expected it to the

atmosphere to be pretty decent and that's exactly what it was you know this is the first

time that Richard played in front of a full crowd at Carrope for about 18 months so that was a

made for it's actually really enjoyable actually it was a good fun actually for the

game itself yeah Liverpool the class the difference in class you should say that certainly showed in the second half of the

the goals that they scored I mean you could argue the first one was a bit fortunate
