Final Blood Red of 2018: Roberto Firmino's brilliance, Gini Wijnaldum's importance and why 2019 could be a vintage year for Liverpool

In the final Blood Red podcast of 2018, James Pearce and Paul Gorst are joined by stand-in host Sam Carroll to sign off for the year with a bang. The trio of ECHO reporters pick the bones out of Saturday's 5-1 hammering of Arsenal as they reflect on arguably the performance of the season at Anfield. The Reds went nine points clear at the top of the Premier League with an emphatic dismantling of the Gunners and our journalists give their take on a superb end to Anfield action for 2018. Paul explains why he loved seeing Virgil van Dijk come to Mohamed Salah's rescue in the Anfield tunnel, while James reflects on a memorable year covering the club both home and away. Goal and Player of the Year awards are also selected as they look back on an incredible year for Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool squad. As ever, it's a must-listen. Enjoy.
