News broke on Thursday afternoon that Liverpool were going to meet the release clause for Christian Benteke. The prayers of many had been answered. Liverpool are buying ‘goals’. That basic narrative had been pushed for a while now. “If Liverpool had a striker last season that scored we’d have finished top 4.” Football isn’t that […]
One suspects that Mario Balotelli gazed upon Roberto Firmino with the green eyes of envy as the Brazilian attacker was cited as Liverpool’s newest saviour following a £29 million move from Hoffenheim in June. After a disappointing 2014-15, The Reds remain among the outsiders for a top four finish this time around. Brendan Rodgers had […]
PFA Player of the Month for February 2015, LFC Players’ and Fans’ Player of the Season, and PFA Team of the Year. Four individual awards in a year is a remarkable feat, to say the least. With the cherry on top that is to finally cement a place in the Seleção – it’s been a […]
Hey ho, here we go it’s that time of year again, Twitter rumours, spurious links, interviews, reports, speculation, newspaper nonsense, agents, players, cash, loans, if buts and maybes, swaps, click bait and hope…. Yes hope… Hope that the players linked to your club arrive or don’t arrive depending on fans’ opinions whether their good enough […]
If Liverpool had goals last season they’d have finished 4th. That’s the general consensus, and the main excuse, for people when they refuse to admit everything else wasn’t up to standard either.

The news emerging in the last 12 hours (at the time of writing) saw Brendan Rodgers being given the vote of confidence by the people who matter, Fenway Sports Group. This ideally puts to rest the anxiety of ‘will he stay/will he not’ debate amongst the fan base and whether in agreement or not, it […]
Brendan Rodgers has been given another chance and it’s one he has to grab with both hands. When Brendan took over 3 years ago it wasn’t so much to a chorus of fan fares and celebration from the fan base, it was more of a quiet contemplation. Not widely known outside of Swansea, Reading and […]
A year ago Liverpool fans were dreaming of a promising young manager – Brendan Rodgers – who was going to get better with time and bring success to the club. He evoked comparison with Bill Shankly, the legendary Liverpool coach. A year on, fans are not so sure he’s anywhere near a reincarnation of Shankly. […]
I’ve had the distinct honour and privilege to be invited onto the panel of Anfield Index’s own Nina Kauser Show this season. Being part of such a popular call in show immediately after a defeat can be tough, with emotions very raw. Sometimes that can exact reactions that, with the benefit of hindsight and reflection, […]
