Summary

The View from the Kop podcast is back with host Paul Wheelock joined by regulars Paul Philbin and Neil Macdonald as well as Dublin-based broadcaster and journalist Jonathan Higgins, who recently had the pleasure of interviewing Markus Babbel. The ex-Liverpool defender believed that a win over Bayern Munich would push Jurgen Klopp's side on to another level and the panel whether what happened in the Allianz Arena will be the 'eureka' moment of the season in the same way that Gary McAllister's Goodison winner all those years ago was. The draw with - and ticket prices for - Porto is also discussed before talk turns to next weekend's visit of Tottenham to Anfield and why the north Londoners were never and will never be considered title challengers. Joe Gomez is set to return against Spurs but should Joel Matip keep his place? That leads to a debate about the unlikely players helping the Reds' double charge before the focus shifts to the summer and what Klopp's transfer policy should be and why fine-tuning doesn't necessarily mean no superstars like Alisson and Virgil van Dijk coming in. But Philbo, Neil and Jonathan are emphatic in their response to talk of a Liverpool return for Philippe Coutinho. Enjoy.
