Description

Peter Hooton has a very special guest on the latest episode of the superb Allez Les Rouges podcast - Karen Gill, granddaughter of the late, great Bill Shankly, the man who laid the foundations for the modern Liverpool. They are joined by regulars, Ste Monaghan and John Nicolson, for what is a great listen for all Reds. The podcast kicks off by discussing the victory over Arsenal that took Jurgen Klopp's side clear at the top and, more importantly, even at this early stage of the campaign, kept them two points clear of Manchester City. As Peter says, it seems like this season is a continuation of lost, where neither of the top two teams in the country can afford to slip up. But the panel were not just impressed by what happened on the pitch, but off it, too, and in particular the passion, patience and loudness of the Anfield crowd, which placed in the context of when Klopp first arrived at the club, underlines just how he has turned the fanbase from 'doubters into believers'. That much is clear when talk turns to the draw for the Champions League with John insisting it would actually be better for the Reds to take on the likes of Real Madrid in the group stages. There's also a preview of Saturday's Premier League trip to Burnley, and how Sean Dyche's tactics will hold no fear for Virgil van Dijk and Co, before the last part of the show is dedicated to a forthcoming trip to Bill Shankly's home village of Glenbuck in Scotland, Karen's memory of her granddad, and what he would have made of Klopp. Enjoy.
