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

Welcome to this week's Liverpool.com podcast. I am Dan Morgan. I am joined by

Liverpool.com's Joel Rabinovitz and bloodbread guy Clark making his

Liverpool.com debut. Are you feeling guy trepidationous? It's it it's nurvy times. I know everyone's been waiting for Ben Davis to make his Liverpool bow,

but I think there's been a bit of rumbling behind the scenes about Guy Clark appearing on Liverpool.com.

No, I'm delighted to be on with you guys.

Oh, what a man, what a man.

I hope you're all good, lads. Anyway, we've got a podcast which follows on immediately from a Liverpool win which in itself is a reality these days

but to discuss that we will we will delve into Liverpool beating Leipzig tuno in Hungary in the Champions League last 16 last night and we'll have a little

look into what it all could mean for the forthcoming game at the weekend, the MeriSha Derby and for the rest of the season.

Trying to start with you, Joel, we're covering the game today with the aftermath of the game on the pool.com and yeah it was one in which you didn't work last night

but obviously you've had a little chat about it this morning and stuff and what

impressed me the most I guess was Liverpool's willingness to earn the

right to play in the game and earn the right to grow in the game and I think you know it's it's funny when confidence is

fragile you see this this sort of thing become much more highlighted that you know

games are often defined by small moments and small margins and things that most of the time

don't happen as opposed to things that do. A big thing that sticks in my mind from the other week is

is son's goal for Tottenham against Liverpool in the first two minutes, not counting, you know, if that goes in.

You don't really want to see the sliding doors of that, if it takes shape, but you think what I'm getting to is that last night you get to see, you know, Liverpool ride an early storm, if you like, by life-shake hitting a post and putting on a really high press.

But then after that, you just see, you just see the sort of demons leaving Liverpool and they grow and they grow and they grow in the game and they impose themselves and their game plants at the points in which they get a really good results.

Yeah, the one you mentioned there of hitting the post was a massive moment really because you sort of feel

that had gone in.
