The importance of unorthodox Sadio Mane and Liverpool's final fling

Finally we make it down to the end of the yellow brick road for the final game of Liverpool's Premier League season. And it's not quite done yet for Jurgen Klopp and his players. At least Chelsea's surprise midweek draw at home to Huddersfield Town has left the Reds needing only a point against Brighton and Hove Albion to secure Champions League football next season. It means there should be a party atmosphere at Anfield to wave the team off to Kiev. In the latest Blood Red podcast, regular host and Liverpool reporter Ian Doyle is joined by ECHO triumvirate Kristian Walsh, Paul Gorst and Dan Kay to assess the last few days. First up is a brief discussion on the top-four race, and why the Reds are better off having something to play for on the final day. The virtues of the returning Adam Lallana are discussed, while Mohamed Salah again gets a mention or three. All are impressed with Sadio Mane considering he's meant to be having an indifferent season. And Dan raises concerns over supporters heading out to Kiev and how once again they are being hit in the pocket for a big European final. It's informative. It's lively. And once again it's essential.
