Summary

Jurgen Klopp may be down to the bare bones but Neil Fitzmaurice can name one of his strongest squads yet for the latest edition of his superb Poetry in Motion podcast.Our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce - this one, not this one - is on board along with debutante Caoimhe O'Neill and with Dan Kay, who makes a welcome return to the panel.And they swiftly get stuck into the idea that, after the draws with Leicester and West Ham allowed Manchester City to go back to the top of the table on goal difference, the wheels are coming off at Anfield.There is no doubt that Klopp's side have not been at their brilliant best since the turn of the year. However, there are mitigating circumstances for that, particularly the injury problems in defence.But James insists the question shouldn't be why Liverpool allowed Nathaniel Clyne allowed to leave.The quartet also pay tribute to the one constant in the heart of the Reds' backline, debate Roberto Firmino's form, give their backing to Naby Keita, and discuss just how big a boost having Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain back fit will be - off the field, as well as on it.Talk then turns to a huge month for the club - starting with this Saturday's visit of Bournemouth to Anfield - and our second Blood Red Live event in Liverpool City Centre next Wednesday (February 13).Just five tickets remain. They cost £5 and include a free drink - and you can get yours by clicking HERE. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
