Welcome to the 6th edition of Blood Red. The ECHO’s new monthly magazine covers everything you need to know about what’s happening at Liverpool FC. You can purchase the January issue here.
As always, this month is packed with exclusive interviews, expert insights, and nostalgia.
In January’s Blood Red, we have an exclusive conversation with Bill Shankly’s grandson, Chris Shankly-Carline.
Chris tells Brad Red what it was like growing up alongside one of football’s most famous players, why his family is fighting to protect the Anfield legend’s legacy and his new book, which he hopes will portray the man behind the myth.
He also discusses “The Lost Shankly Tapes,” a collection of interviews with the great and guests such as George Best and Jerry Marsden. This tape was discovered by his family among the cassette tapes in Bill’s old West Derby home.
Elsewhere, Andrew Beasley looks at the opposition tactics that have caused the Reds problems this season and how Arn Slott’s side can overcome them.
Chris Smith has urged Slott to bring back Harvey Elliott from his loan spell at Aston Villa, as the Reds look to be in good form.
With the transfer window set to open this month, we take a look back at one of the most dramatic deadline days in the club’s history 15 years ago, when Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez arrived on the same day that Fernando Torres joined Chelsea.
It is also the 15th year since Sir Kenny Dalglish returned. Dave Asher recalls how The King helped the club recover, but also why it means FSG are unlikely to rely on Steve Gerrard in a crisis.
Our panel of experts also reflects on what has been an eventful year for the Reds and what the new year will bring.
