Liverpool’s League Cup Legacy: Liverpool 2-0 Manchester United (2003) Football rivalries don’t get much bigger than Liverpool versus Manchester United, and few matches are as memorable as Liverpool’s triumph over their arch-rivals in 2003. Thanks to an original piece by The Athletic, we’re taken back to Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium where Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory, […]
Hyypia Confident in Van Dijk’s Premier League Dominance As the Premier League season unfolds, former Liverpool stalwart Sami Hyypia has thrown significant support behind Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool’s centre-back powerhouse. Despite a setback from a knee ligament injury in 2020, Van Dijk’s recent performances suggest a brewing storm on the pitch, especially noted during the […]
I assume, gentle reader, that you, like me, are a hopeless consumer. It’s not our fault. Decades of crass commercialism, manipulative media advertising and force-fed capitalistic ideology have taught us to crave the next purchase and moulded us into believing that the next shiny thing will be the one that finally fills the yawning void […]
After the weekend (which saw several Liverpool legends assemble), I had a little thought about which one I could possibly write about. One of my colleagues has written about the next steps of Steven Gerrard (available this week on Anfield Index), whereas I have chosen to compile what I believe to be the best Liverpool […]
This past week or so, I’ve seen the form of Joël Matip both questioned and praised. His performances this season have been largely tremendous, with the singular poor outing against Brentford (and an inspired, future red, Ivan Toney). The whole Liverpool side were somewhat shell shocked that day, and every player will occasionally have an […]
Under the Roy Evans regime, Neil Ruddock, John Scales, Phil Babb & Mark Wright were the options in defence. They were the central defenders in the mid nineties that saw a period of great attacking football from the reds. The likes of Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman were part of an exciting line up that […]
I wanted to distract a little from the joys of the transfer window, so would like to share some thoughts on one of the reds’ greatest ever central defenders. Hint: it’s not Dejan Lovren. In 2008 Chelsea and Liverpool met on four separate occasions throughout the calendar year. The first, on February 10th (towards the […]
If you’re expecting a memorable summer in the transfer market at Liverpool, you’re in for a horrible shock. Unfortunately, this isn’t FIFA or Football Manager, so the Reds won’t be splashing an endless stream of cash, as Jurgen Klopp’s men look to bounce back from this most dispiriting of seasons. Given the impact that COVID-19 […]
While it’s practically impossible to improve on the kind of perfection that this Liverpool team has embodied over the last two years…it’s always fun to fantasise, isn’t it? So with that being said, here’s a Liverpool legend that might just fit into the greatest LFC side of our generation… When you look at this wonderful, […]
Such has been the almost unblemished ascent Liverpool have enjoyed to what increasingly looks like an inevitable league title, a lot of the suspense has been removed from the domestic season for the Reds’ faithful. With collective honours a near formality, many fans have instead debated who among the reigning European Champions’ squad will win […]
