Blood Red: A week of one-sided pressure and the unsung heroes of Liverpool's double bid

It’s Bank Holiday Monday, the sun is shining, and Liverpool are top of the league – and it’s against that backdrop that the latest Blood Red podcast is recorded, hosted by Ian Doyle and featuring Dan Kay, Sean Bradbury and Caoimhe O’Neill. Dan was in the away end at Cardiff to watch the relentless Reds move back above Manchester City at the summit and make it nine wins on the spin in all competitions. But despite that ridiculously impressive form, the destiny of the Premier League title remains out of Liverpool’s hands. The panel are in no doubt this should still go down as a season to remember, no matter what happens in the next few weeks, and that this team is only going to get stronger. But there is no escaping the feeling that this week, in particular, could see the destiny shift from City to the Reds. The panel explain why before talk turns to two players who have and are becoming key to Liverpool’s challenge for honours at home and abroad. There’s also debate – or no debate, to be more precise – about the penalty that sealed the win at Cardiff, and the joy/angst of listening to the Reds on the radio, before for the first time we preview a match that does not involve Liverpool.
