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

0:08.0

It's just in a very general sense, you must be encouraged by the obviously the result in the

0:15.7

performance and the confidence that can give you from the Leipzig game going

0:19.2

into this one on Monday. Yes of course What we have to show now is kind of consistency obviously to the

0:27.0

consistency in a performance way, in a defending way and then obviously where we are we have one foot in a game already if we can do that and then if we can build on that then we have a chance to win a football game and that's what we obviously

0:45.7

what's the target for the next game.

I know you were pleased with the defending in particular the other night and I know it's only a couple of games for

Absolutely. Anyway, I have a lot of sympathy for what Nune is doing because it's doing an incredible job and this is just a strange year and you cannot replace one to one a player with the quality of
