With Jurgen Klopp’s boys away in Spain, and no game for another five days, this is very much the calm before the storm.But the visit of Bayern Munich kicks start a run in both the Premier League and the Champions League that could go a long way to deciding Liverpool’s destiny.And it’s against that backdrop that the latest Allez Les Rouges podcast is recorded.Host Peter Hooton is joined by regular guests Ste Monaghan and John Nicolson as well as the ECHO’s Dan Kay, and they start by discussing the passing of two Bill Shankly favourites, Ian Ross and Gordon Banks.Talk then turns to the present day and what were the most impressive aspects of last weekend’s win over Bournemouth and why it was so different, both on and off the pitch, to the previous home fixture with Leicester.Sadio Mane scored his fourth goal in as many matches on Saturday to underline his status as the Reds’ main man at the moment. But has the Senegalese been that for some time now?What is without question is the improvement shown by Naby Keita in recent weeks and the panel discuss what the midfielder needs to do next to go to the next level.The debate then switches to the games coming up fast on the horizon, starting with Bayern and followed by the trip to Manchester United, whose fans could well be in the two minds over the outcome of the massive Old Trafford match.The midfield line-up for those clashes, and then the ones with Watford and Everton, are discussed, as is the impending return of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, before another must-listen podcast ends on a suitably upbeat note with news of Jamie Carragher’s brilliant act of generosity.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
