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

All good things must come to an end and after seven straight wins Liverpool have suffered their first

defeat of the season after losing two wanted Chelsea in the Carabow Cup.

My name is Paul Wielock and we'll be getting the views on what was a frustrating night

at Anfield from the press box, the stands and the dugout in this our post game podcast.

We'll start with the verdict of our Liverpool FC correspondence James Pierce.

We'll then hear from four Red supporters who have phoned into this show.

Ross Strachan, who is gutted, Simon Donley, who is not.

Mark Baker, who works in an academy at a championship club, and Alex Watch, who could be in for a long few days before

saves from Simon Minule making his first appearance since January. He denied Maratta on a couple of occasions and he could certainly hold his head high tonight

Minule because he didn't do anything wrong and then Liverpool grew into it.
