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

Hello and welcome to this week's Liverpool.com podcast. I'm Matt Addison. Michael Plant is with me. We are going to touch a little bit on Nottingham Forest, but don't you worry, not too much.

We're going to talk Rio Angamoa, Mohammed Sala, Cody Gapro, and a couple of other topics as well throughout the course of the next 25 minutes or so.

But before we get into it, we'd like to thank one of two show sponsors today.

Without further ado though, let's get snow to.

Well done.

Brilliant.

A deep breath there.

And a deep breath as well before we have to talk about what happened at the city ground.

Certainly it was a good end, wasn't it, Michael?

Not particularly a good start, middle or, well, even most of the end was not great for Liverpool.

But they did somehow just about managed to beat Notting in Forrest in the end. Yeah, I'm pleased actually that the narrative hasn't been about the win really and that actually so much of the talk has been about how bad the performance was. An Arnestlot obviously said it was the worst 45 minutes of the season. There have been a few contenders for that and a couple of times I feel like we've said that this season, but that certainly, certainly was up there. And ultimately, you know, the stat that I keep coming back to that sums up the performance was that Liverpool had one shot in 89 minutes. Sorry, one shot on target in 89 minutes. That sums up how bad the performance was. And ultimately, I think they deserve credit for pushing late to manage to get that injury time.

Well, two injury time goals, of course, only mean, one stood.
