Man City
This used to be a game I would relish, in the knowledge that Liverpool would take the fight to their most recent domestic rivals. Though the silverware count is very much in favour of Pep Guardiola and City, so is the amount of Premier League charges that have come their way. If not for the […]
With this seasons Champions League run now officially over, the Reds have a short break in which to recalibrate their stuttering form. Though the international break will take many of the players away from the club, it can still be a moment for the coaching team to really evaluate and establish a way of improving. […]
Looking back, it struck me that very few of my favourite derby memories took place at Anfield. Most were at other grounds – Wembley, Maine Road and Goodison. The standout games across the park were the 3-2 in 1985, when the teams were arguably the two best sides in Europe, and the 5-0 in 1982. […]
On late Monday morning, Manchester City were charged with multiple breaches of the Premier Leagues financial rules, that could go back a number of years, to when they were first purchased. I am sure one of my Anfield Index colleagues will delve deeper into what comes next, with a Mo Chatra podcast almost certainly incoming. […]
It was a topsy turvy game that in all honesty should have been away from us by half time. In the end, the result was a fair one that allowed the stronger team to move into the next round. Liverpool have given up one of the trophies they garnered last season, but it is one […]
That’s why we missed club football! An end-to-end slugfest with goal mouth action, chances squandered and some real needle between the two teams.

The World Cup was great – especially if you like sportswashing – and the final ended with tremendous drama. Interesting, though, that there’s been a bout of collective amnesia and everyone appears to have forgotten how bad the first 79 minutes were. I’m glad Lionel Messi capped his career by winning the trophy. Not that […]
Manchester City 3 – 2 Liverpool – League Cup Man of the Match Thiago Alcantara Far from a master class, this game became about stemming the City onslaught in the first half. With a midfield so overwhelmed and lacking experience, you only wanted the Spaniard on the ball. The first half became about damage limitation […]
Messi won the World Cup, Cristiano tainted his reputation further, Diaz got another injury, Elon did some things with Twitter & the Reds’ fan base waited impatiently for their team to re-emerge. With the tournament in Qatar now all done, we can all start focusing in on Christmas and all the football this festive period […]
Top-level domestic football is set to return following a thrilling World Cup in Qatar when Liverpool take on Manchester City. The heavyweight contest will take place at the Etihad Stadium on December 22nd with a place in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup up for grabs. It’s expected to be an exciting game and fans […]
