Allez Les Rouges: Liverpool's chance to shift the title dynamic and the New Year statement signings Jurgen Klopp should make

Peter Hooton takes a leaf out of Jurgen Klopp’s book for his latest Allez Les Rouges podcast.Just like the Liverpool boss against Burnley on Wednesday, Hooton has made sweeping changes to his line-up.But the guests coming into to replace his benched regulars aren’t half bad – Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman, Wigan Athletic first-team coach Anthony Barry and the ECHO’s Dan Kay.The big Reds start not by talking about the gritty win at Turf Moor, but about Sunday’s Merseyside derby. And how could they not?Where Divock Origi’s dramatic strike stands in the history of derby winners, Klopp’s reaction to it, and the performances of Alisson Becker and Fabinho are all discussed before talk turns to the January transfer window.Coleman, who continues to do a remarkable job at Accrington, would like to see Klopp make a statement of intent with not one, but two attacking midfield signigns. However, any new additions will have to go a long way to match the impact of last year’s New Year recruit, Virgil van Dijk, whose form has been so good that it leads the lads to ask whether £75m now looks a steal.The focus then switches to Bournemouth on Saturday dinnertime and Coleman and Barry reckon a win at Dean Court could bring about a shift in the title dynamic.And another cracking edition of the podcast rounds off with talk about Robert Firmino’s new song, the FA Cup draw and, obviously given the time of year, karaoke.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
