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

Hello everyone, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good good life welcome to the

Liverpool.com podcast I am your over excitable host most Stewart and I'm joined by

Ben Bouchak and Matt Addison and we have a whole agenda we have a whole thing we're going to get through but

it's impossible not to talk about what happened last night just for a little bit so

Matt we did a show last week where we went all through what we should do in big games and how, you know, being solid and not losing is the most important thing. And then I said maybe we should just go out there and try and back to them because we're that much better than them.

Do you think they were actually listening?

To be honest with you, to be honest with you, to be honest with you, and by the time this goes out it won't be last night I should point that out to listen as it'll be a couple of days afterwards

But we are recording this on Monday. We're all very excited. Very very excited. Yeah. I'm sure we'd still be this excited on Tuesday as well as as

Monday I'm sure but to be honest with you I really don't think that Liverpool

were perfect I don't think that Liverpool played as well as what they can do and I don't think it was necessarily

that they just went all out attacking and went for them. I just think United were so so

abysmally bad that's what it looked like I really really I'm glad that you know it's been

shown up that there is this difference between these teams because I mean for the

last half an hour of the game I'm not quite sure what Gary and Evel was watching but it was definitely a different game to what I was watching.

Yeah, there's no doubt about it. The Gulf is absolutely vast between these two teams and I think that's all it was. I think it was it was a difference in in quality and class. They were well below par. I think

Liverpool were probably par for what they can do they can do a lot better but yeah that's

when it comes down so I don't think it was a tactic for Liverpool to go all out

attack but when you've got an opponent is as weak and

pathetic as that you might as well go for it.

I mean there's a difference between setting out to go all out attack and walking through

wide open spaces when they're presented in front of you.
