Götze
The transfer window, and the weeks leading up to it, is football fans’ equivalent of Christmas as a child. Mystique surrounds the bi-yearly event. The hours spent talking about players you’d sign for your club becomes relevant. Reassurance, vindication and acknowledgement is up for grabs, if Liverpool sign a player you’ve put a case forward […]
If one is to type the word, ‘Liverpool’ into a google search, said one will be met with a definition telling you that it’s “a historic maritime city in northwest England, where the River Mersey meets the Irish Sea” – allow me to tell you that this definition is wrong. In reality, a ‘Liverpool’ is, […]
“Liverpool don’t need Götze, they’ve already got too many attacking midfielders” This comment isn’t just exclusive to fans of the opposition, sadly, but actual Liverpool supporters. Yes you’re reading this correctly, there are Reds fans that believe Liverpool, a Europa League team as things stand, don’t need Germany’s World Cup winning hero Mario Götze because they’ve […]
Who wouldn’t be proud of that headline? Paul Joyce and Tony Barrett had Liverpool fans a euphoric mess on Monday evening by stating Bayern Munich’s Mario Gotze wants to link up with Reds manager Jurgen Klopp once again. If Liverpool were to sign the World Cup winner it would be considered a coup for the […]
As soon as Jürgen Klopp arrived at Liverpool FC, various newspapers posed the question, ‘Which former players from Klopp’s Dortmund team would he attempt to sign?’, Liverpool have been linked with Ílkay Gündogan, Marco Reus and Neven Subotić, but most recently there have been reports of a summer move for Mario Götze on the cards; fuelled […]
Public perception over Liverpool’s forward line has changed drastically from the start of the season; Danny Ings and Christian Benteke started fairly well, whilst Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino struggled, as Daniel Sturridge looked on from the sidelines. Fast forward to late October, where Ings had been ruled out for the season, Benteke was misfiring, […]
Early last week German tabloids started to report that Bayern Munich weren’t in contract negotiations with Mario Gotze to have him commit his future to the club. That’s not to say he won’t be offered a new contract but by all accounts Bayern tend to get their contract sorted before Christmas. With less than 18 […]
Amidst a few troubles as of late for Jürgen Klopp’s redmen (that phrase in itself gives this writer more motivation for this article than any article written under Brendan Rodgers), the need for goals ranks highest of all. Well, perhaps second to injuries, but at least goals are something that can be altered to favour […]
The crazy month that is the January transfer window is in full swing and once again Liverpool are at the heart of it all. It’s only been nine days since the transfer window opened and the headlines are already linking Liverpool with the likes of Ter Stegen, Gotze, Subotic, Hummels, Pato, Lacazette and even Aubameyang. […]
Hello again Anfield Index, it’s been a while. Sorry I’ve taken some time since my last article, but apparently being in the final year of your degree is quite time-consuming. Moving on, in this piece I will be attempting to analyse what I consider the most important component of any Klopp system: the midfield. Most will […]
