Summary

We picked up the phone to Steve Dawson, a Liverpool fan based in Singapore, and presenter for Fox Sports Asia, for our latest podcast.As well as being a big Red, he is also a Bundesliga expert, as one of his main roles at the station is to anchor their coverage of the German top flight.That leads him perfectly placed to give his take on issues that will be of huge interest to his fellow Liverpool supporters - starting with Naby Keita.It's not quite happened for the midfielder since his big money move from RB Leipzig, and while Steve offers an insight into why that might be the case, he also explains why there is every reason to believe that Keita will come good.Jurgen Klopp has certainly done that as Reds boss and, with host Paul Wheelock, the duo talk his impact at Anfield, how it's viewed in his native Germany, and how he has evolved from his highly successful stint managing Borussia Dortmund, who themselves are now moving on from their talismanic former manager.So much so that Klopp admitted Dortmund were the team he wanted to avoid in the last-16 of the Champions League.Instead, Liverpool got Bayern Munich, and Steve touches on that tie, before talk turns to Timo Werner, the exceptional young Leipzig striker who has long been tipped to follow Keita to the Reds. And the podcast rounds off with a little bit about Steve himself and just how big Liverpool are in the part of the world he now calls home.Enjoy.
