All Change at The Back This Summer: 2 In, 2 Out
There’s always one attribute for elite players that can get ignored - availability. Consistency is the obvious one that gets mentioned and often used as an argument against footballers when debating their level. Liverpool fans could see both those charges levied against a couple of their centre backs right now and it would be very difficult if not near impossible to defend them. Ibrahima Konate looks to be fully recovered from his pre-season injury sustained against Stausbourg and his recent …
Could Frenkie de Jong be Liverpool's midfield saviour?
There have been endless reasons for Liverpool's struggles this season, but their midfield has stood out as a major problem from the moment the campaign got underway.
For a long time, the middle of the park was the Reds' most solid and underrated area of the pitch, with the headlines invariably made by everyone else in the team.
In Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum, Jurgen Klopp built a midfield that did its job to perfection, providing dynamism, discipline and …
World Cup Matchday 1: Liverpool Roundup
The first 5 days of the World Cup are now complete, and there's been no lack of excitement. We've seen Qatar embarrassed in their opening match, both members of the 2014 final beaten by Asian teams, and a Keylor Navas performance so bad that Alvaro Morata couldn't make him look good. Drama has been aplenty, with the Qatar government being under constant scrutiny for decisions involving beer sales, "One Love" armbands, and more. Hidden among the chaos have been 7 …
Liverpool's Loan Window In January
There's been a lot of focus on the January transfer window in the last couple of weeks, with fans demanding that Liverpool sign pretty much any man under the age of 23 who's ever laced up a pair of boots. Moses Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Jude Bellingham, Cody Gakpo, and Konrad Laimer are all names that have been discussed for the January transfer window. However, it's likely that most of those transfers would be rather expensive, and more likely to take …
Liverpool Players Who Could Break Into The Euro 2024 England Squad
With England having successfully dispatched Iran 6-2 in their opening game, it gave the nation a spirited start to an otherwise strange World Cup tournament. The winter break seems bizarre, the one love arm band debate is on going, but in between we saw the three lions turn out a pretty ruthless and efficient display.
With a few grumblings over the initial squad selection by Garth Southgate, that subject can now be shelved, and allow for the group stage matches …
David Johnson "The Assassin" - An Underrated Liverpool Legend
David Johnson always suffered by comparison with the man who replaced him. Over the years dozens of conversations about the great 1978-79 team have included the line, “Imagine if Rushie would have been a couple of years older.”
Johnson’s contribution to the club has too often been overlooked. He was an international-class performer and that he was overshadowed says a lot about the greatness of the team at the time.
But it’s not his ability that me and my mates …
Potential Julian Ward Replacements: Paul Mitchell
With the breaking news that Julian Ward is set to step down from his position as Sporting Director at the end of the season, Liverpool were left with three major positions set to be vacant by the end of this campaign. A new club doctor and director of research (Dr Ian Graham also confirmed as leaving) are also set to be replaced according to reports, giving FSG - or any new owners - a lot to tackle. On Anfield Index …
What If Klopp Were To Leave After The Liverpool Buyout…
When FSG announced the club was for sale, there was a moment of surprise, a period of browsing social media, a few group message checks, and finally the wonderment of what we could become. We have been fantastically successful under our current owners, and despite the on-going grumblings of discontent, we couldn’t have won our impressive haul of silverware if not for their own buyout in 2010.
The details of prospective owners seemed to reach its peak about a week …
Christopher Nkunku - Time To Take Hijack Chelsea's Attempts to Sign Him
Naby Keïta, Ibrahima Konaté and Takumi Minamino are all players that have been recruited from the RB group, either from Salzburg or Leipzig. We have also seen multiple stories linking us with various other players, and if not for COVID, we probably would have signed Timo Werner ahead of his move to Chelsea. The likes of Konrad Laimer and Noah Okafor are the latest names to do the pre January rounds, but it is another player that I believe could …
Goalkeepers LFC Should Target If Adrián Leaves
Adrián has been that steady training ground keeper who has been able to add to a tight knit group at the AXA training ground in Kirkby. It’s often a crazy and unpredictable world being a goalkeeper, and when Adrian was picked up as a free agent from West Ham, it was certainly no different. His persona seems infectious, his support seems unlimited, and it has allowed Jurgen Klopp to give that experienced back up to Alisson Becker, Caoimhin Kelleher and …
