Blood Red: Can Daniel Sturridge earn a new Liverpool contract and are Chelsea now a likeable team?

One man dominates the latest Blood Red podcast, hosted by Joe Rimmer and also featuring James Pearce, Dan Kay and Theo Squires. And that man is Daniel Sturridge after his superb strike earned Liverpool a late but thoroughly deserved 1-1 draw at Chelsea on Saturday night. Sturridge is now second only to the original super-sub, David Fairclough, as the player to have scored the most goals from the bench for the Reds. But can he become a regular starter again for Jurgen Klopp? And is now the time to start talking about a new contract for the revitalised striker? James provides an insight into the burgeoning partnership between Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez and also into another player who impressed at Stamford Bridge, Alisson Becker. But could the Liverpool number one have saved Eden Hazard’s opener? The love-in between Klopp and his counterpart Maurizio Sarri is discussed and the lads ask what was once an unthinkable question: is it now okay to like Chelsea? Talk then turns to Mohamed Salah and the team changes that could and should be made for Wednesday’s Champions League clash in Naples. Enjoy.
