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

It was the first year when I arrived, my first season, that's the one the league.

Special story, very special story will stay forever.

But yeah now the situation is obviously completely different.

I don't, I cannot really and don't want to compare

with Brandon's team and now Dean Smith team.

So there are in a relegation battle, it's obvious.

I saw the press come after this meeting we have then the analyze me after this press come we have to analyze meeting but I saw the game against ever

for example really good spells in the game, a really good footballing team.

Yeah, but how we all always were and are will be in the relegation battle you are not always the best version of yourself

so that's why it makes it so difficult to be there but what we have to expect is a team who

wants to stay in the league and will fight for that with all they have that's what we have to expect I told that the boys already

started out of our training week and I said okay this is now the real fight and we have to be

that we are ready for that because home game for Leicester and the game after

us is I think Newcastle if I'm right

so that's not an easy game as well and they need all the points they can get.

So I expect a super difficult and super intense game to be honest.

So with big fight and with brilliant footballers on the pitch still.

So that makes it tricky.

Just with players coming back for yourself, Bobby,

and Abbey?

Any chance there will be above this thing?
