Description

Liverpool’s Champions League group stage opponents are the big talking points in the latest edition of the unmissable Allez Les Rouges podcast.Recorded straight after the Reds discovered they will go head to head with Paris St Germain, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade in Group C, host Peter Hooton and regular guests – and Kop season ticket holders – Kieth Culvin, John Nicolson and Ste Monaghan cast their eyes over the teams standing in the Reds’ way of progressing to the knock-out stages.There is no question that last season’s losing finalists could have been handed an easier draw but the lads explain why they are thrilled by it – and in particular the chance to lock horns with Red Star – and, like Jurgen Klopp, they are quick to remind everyone that no team will want to face Liverpool either.Peter believes this season represents a great opportunity to win the Premier League and wonders whether Reds boss Klopp should prioritise that over a tilt for a sixth European Cup.But, while all and present agree Liverpool now have the squad to compete on more than one front, they reckon there is one player that Klopp cannot even begin to contemplate rotating – not even in the Carabao Cup.Speaking of the Carabao Cup, Peter and Co also react to the third-round draw for the competition, which took place while the podcast was being recorded, as well as looking ahead to Saturday’s trip to Leicester City, where the Reds will look to maintain top spot and their 100% winning start to the season.Talk then turns to our own James Pearce’s exclusive two-part chat with Liverpool’s managing director Billy Hogan, which in turn leads to a debate over the club’s off-the-field performance and owners FSG. Like the rest of the podcast, it gets lively.Enjoy. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
