Blood Red: The player underappreciated outside of Anfield - and Liverpool's best January transfer window signings

Jurgen Klopp’s side may have the weekend off, but there’s no rest for the Blood Red panel as they return with the latest must-listen Liverpool FC podcast.With Joe Gomez having suffered a setback, and the injuries and suspensions beginning to pile up for the Reds, Klopp may well be counting his blessings that there's no game till next Wednesday.But unless he risks Trent Alexander-Arnold for the visit of Leicester to Anfield, the Liverpool manager still faces a selection headache at right-back.Host Ian Doyle, Joe Rimmer and Blood Red debutant – and the newest member of the ECHO sportsdesk – Sean Bradbury discuss how Klopp could solve it and why there is already a precedent.Joe then lets rip about his dislike – and that’s putting it mildly – for the FA Cup and the ‘romance’ that is attached to the competition.The reason why the Reds can put their feet up this weekend is down, of course, to the fact they have been knocked out of the cup.But they will return to action against Leicester buoyed by back-to-back Premier League wins over Brighton and Crystal Palace.However, did the latter victory prove just how important one player, who does not get the appreciation he deserves outside of Anfield, has become to Klopp?There’s also talk of the two teenage strikers ripping it up at academy level, the training ground plans that demonstrate the commitment of FSG to Klopp and the club, before the pod rounds off on Luis Suarez and the club’s best ever January transfer window signings.Enjoy.
