Liverpool.com Podcast: Jurgen Klopp faces selection dilemma as AFCON, Carabao Cup and more loom

from Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast · host Reach Podcasts

Despite a fantastic start to the season, Liverpool once again find themselves with a conundrum given the number of injuries they have in midfield. It is not yet a crisis, with only Harvey Elliott deemed a long term casualty, but Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Brighton was a symptom of the centre of the pitch lacking in legs. That poses the question, after Liverpool were drawn at home to Leicester in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, of whether the Reds should be keen to avoid reaching the semi-finals, which are now a two-legged affair once again. With AFCON to consider as well, what is Liverpool’s best option? To sacrifice this competition in order to keep the team fresh for bigger battles? Or should a club of Liverpool’s stature always aim to conquer all before them? Mo Stewart is joined by James Martin and Emmet Gates to come up with an answer. Enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices.
