0:00.0	This is the Blood Red podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.
0:09.8	Hello and welcome to this week's Liverpool.com podcast. I'm Matt Addison. Michael Plant is alongside me as we talked through Liverpool's 3-0 win in Marseilles in the Champions League.

0:35.1	on that is in the podcast episode description box.
0:39.3	Let's get straight to it though, Michael. It was a big win for Liverpool. We thought it was going to be a big night really in terms of their season and just instilling a little bit of confidence.
0:48.3	Obviously, a few booze at Amfield last weekend. It was important to bounce back. And I think it's fair to say Liverpool did that.
0:55.2	The Champions League has been a vehicle to do that for them a few times this season. They've done well

But now a win puts them in a fantastic position. They know that all they've got to do is be Carabag next week. I mean, I don't think that should maybe be taken for granted,
1:44.7	given actually had a look at some of their results
1:46.6	in the Champions League this season,
1:47.6	and the, They know that all they've got to do is big carabag next week. I mean, I don't think that should maybe be taken for granted,
1:44.7	given actually had a look at some of their results in the Champions League this season.
1:48.0	They've done much better than I be anticipated.
