Blood Red: Thiago is the difference maker that Liverpool need right now and how seriously should we take Manchester United?

Happy New Year and welcome to the first Blood Red podcast of 2021 as Ian Doyle and Theo Squires join Joe Rimmer for all the big Liverpool talking points – the draw with Newcastle United, Thiago Alcantara, the challenge from Manchester United, the transfer window, and the trip to Southampton. The panel start by focusing on the stalemate at St James’ Park and the performance from the bench of the fit-again Thiago before wondering if Man United, who could go level on points with Liverpool at the top on Friday night, are the real deal. The transfer window opens on Saturday so should and will Jurgen Klopp sign the centre-back many fans are calling for? While, according to Theo, is it worth bringing in Diego Costa now that the former Chelsea forward has been freed by Atletico Madrid? A preview of Monday’s match at Southampton follows before the podcast ends with the usual score and team predictions – plus who Joe, Ian and Theo believe will win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
