The Red Debate

Welcome to The Red Debate, the podcast for debating all things Liverpool Football Club đź”´

The season so far

Chris & Tom from The Red Debate podcast discuss the early season's poor form and debate some of the key talking points from the season so far. Far from the rampant start to the season we predicted in our season preview podcast, the Reds find themselves struggling for form and consistency, with multiple key players way off the pace. We cover the Reds' lethargy, the Trent topic, Klopp's use of Milner, any positives so far, and more. Visit www.thereddebate.com and follow us on Twitter here (@thereddebate).

Bite-sized debate: The Chelsea post mortem and start to the season

It's a few days after the home draw against Chelsea, it’s the final day of the transfer window, the Reds sit in 5th, but joint second on goal difference, and every other rival won over the weekend.

We'll be doing a longer debate podcast shortly to discuss the aftermath of the frankly mad transfer window.  Visit www.thereddebate.com and follow us on Twitter here (@thereddebate).

Euro 2020 debate special

The Euros are upon us and, as usual, international tournament fever has well and truly taken over. The old guard are gone and the new crop of English talent means England goes into the tournament with hope. Probably unfounded hope, but hope regardless. Can Foden, Grealish, Mount, Kane, and co finally deliver success on the international stage? And can Jordan Henderson get back to Liverpool with no further injury doubts? We debate the player of the tournament, golden boot winner, ones to watch, English hopes and the tournament winner.  Visit www.thereddebate.com and follow us on Twitter here (@thereddebate).

Two cup finals ending with One Night in Palace (at Anfield)

Tom and Chris debate the sneaky run of form that sees the Reds sit atop the form table, Burnley away, squad depth and mentality this season, THAT Alisson goal, Thiago's form, and the potential for 'One Night in Palace'. Starring Woy Hodgson. Not a parody anyone wants to see. Even though the game is at Anfield. With fans.  But hopefully a Reds victory that clinches a Champions League spot.
