There is a special guest on the first Blood Red podcast of the week.The Farm frontman and author Peter Hooton joins James Pearce, Connor Dunn and host Joe Rimmer ahead of the launch of his superb new book, The Boot Room Boys: The Unseen Story of Anfield’s Conquering Heroes.But before they get stuck into that, there is the little matter of a history-making seventh straight win for Liverpool to review.The 3-0 victory over Southampton took Peter back to a glorious chapter in the club’s history while James feels it was further proof of how Jurgen Klopp’s style of play has evolved at Anfield.There is plenty of praise for Xherdan Shaqiri, Alisson Becker as well as Virgil van Dijk. But with Dejan Lovren now close to fitness, who should partner the Dutchman at centre-back?Talk then turns to Wednesday’s Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea. Connor reckons the Reds should go for it, and Joe does, too, but James insists Klopp should approach it differently, and Peter agrees. However, if the Liverpool boss does ring the changes, there will be no place for Lazar Markovic, whose sorry situation is discussed.And another must-listen rounds off with a chat about Peter’s book, his motivation behind writing it, and the new nuggets of information and magnificent pictures it contains for Reds fans to pore over.
