Summary

So the race for the Premier League remains in Manchester City’s hands after they beat Manchester United in the derby at Old Trafford on Wednesday night. But if you’re thinking our latest Blood Red podcast, hosted by Sam Carroll and featuring Caoimhe O’Neill, Sean Bradbury and (over the phone) our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce, is a downbeat one, then think again. After a brutal takedown of a a ‘pitifully poor’ United side, James argues you still wouldn’t swap City’s final three fixtures for the Reds’, while Sean thinks scheduling could aid Jurgen Klopp’s side, and Caoimhe offers a memorable moment from City’s past that also proves all hope is not lost. But if Pep Guardiola’s men do defend their title, James is supremely confident that this Liverpool team are going to be challenging for the top honours for the years to come, and explains why. Talk then turns to the PFA Team of the Year, and the impending announcement that Virgil van Dijk has been named PFA Player of the Year, and why two Reds players can feel hard done by that they’ve not also been honoured by their fellow pros – especially when Paul Pogba has. James also comments on tonight’s FA Youth Cup final (a full preview with him can be listened to HERE) before heading off to Klopp’s pre-Huddersfield Town press conference at Melwood. That leaves Sam, Caoimhe and Sean to look ahead to the visit of Huddersfield to Anfield, debate the changes the Reds could and should make, as well as give their nominations for the club’s player of the year, young player of the year and goal of the season.

0:22.4	How you doing? You okay?
0:24.2	How's things with you?
0:25.2	Yeah, not too bad, thank you, not too bad. All good.
0:28.2	We'll get to Kiva and Sean in a second, but obviously the big talking point last night and today has been
0:34.8	that Manchester United performance if you can call it that against Manchester City
0:39.6	but what was your thoughts on the game and is the title race over for you James?
0:45.4	No it's definitely not over.
0:47.4	You know it's a math is important because I think you know all the builder for a long time that Manchester Derby had
0:58.1	been circled as potentially the day when when city could stumble and the title race was back in Liverpool
1:06.2	towns but I think probably the goodness in last weekend provided a bit of a dose of realism in terms of the
1:14.4	prospect of that really happening and you know ultimately for all the talk
1:19.8	about you know what would United fans rather what was the lesser of two evils,
1:24.0	you know, would they be, you know, effectively what in their own team to lose,
1:27.5	with their own team, not want to get the job done.
1:30.5	That all went out of the window really, I don't think it was a question of
1:34.4	attitude or application on the United States Department they're just a pittishly poor team and
1:40.1	they you know they made a half decent fifth of it for 30, 35 minutes, but then second half there was just a ridiculous golfing class and it was, it was, I think a lot of Liverpool fans probably turned off before the end because, you know,
