Blood Red: The real problem in Liverpool's defence - and why we're still worried about Naby Keita

Our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce is fresh back from the London Stadium and he joins host Joe Rimmer, Paul Gorst and Caoimhe O'Neill for the first Blood Red podcast of the week.James looks back on what he believes was the worst performance of table-topping Liverpool's season so far and, given the 1-1 draw at West Ham followed another at home to Leicester, he wonders whether it is time to be concerned.Gorsty was concerned by Roberto Firmino's display against the Hammers and believes it highlighted the paucity of attacking options at Jurgen Klopp's disposal.The Liverpool manager is certainly short of bodies at the back and Joe attempts to get to the bottom of the 'problem' in defence.Is it because certain players aren't good enough?
