Can The Manchester City News Galvanise the Reds?
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. My plan is to look at how this news could affect the serial Premier League champions, and whether some form of boost can be taken …
Fabinho: Likely The Final Chapter At Anfield
It’s been a difficult season for Fabinho and it shows little signs of changing anytime soon. His exclusion from the squad for Wolves was confirmed as down to illness by Jurgen Klopp and truth be told, there were few if any Reds concerned by his absence. It was practically impossible to make an argument for the Brazilian being part of Liverpool’s starting line up at Molinuex, regardless of what later unfolded. There’s a growing belief that like many of his …
Wolves 3 - 0 Liverpool - The Post-Mortem
And just like that, the Reds hit rock bottom, probably.
This sort of result merely adds to the ongoing list of horrors that have engulfed Liverpool FC, so far this season. With Champions League qualification now an unlikely quest for this season, the remainder of our campaign surely becomes about damage limitation. With another dreadful start to a game, the away side found themselves 1-0 before some supporters would have even found their seat. Before the Bovril’s temperature had started …
FSG Ownership Rumours: Pick Your Poison
With on the field activities reaching a new low against Wolves, reds everywhere were seeking any lift they could get. Step forward Alex Miller and his article in the Mail on Sunday around FSG and potential ownership changes. The key headline around a potential cash injection from an old name in Red Bird Capital and mention of interest from Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) won’t be what everyone’s looking for though. In a situation where no-one would be fully happy, you …
Lessons Learned: Wolves
It’s all getting a bit too familiar now isn’t it? Liverpool again shipped three goals away from home in the league to continue a dismal 2023 so far. There was an element of hope going into this one having beaten Wolves at Molinuex in the FA Cup replay, but that proved to be short-lived. By the 15th minute, only the most optimistic reds believed we were going to get anything from the game. We take a look at lessons learned …
Liverpool Starting Lineup if Jürgen Klopp Has Inked His Top Targets
The activity of the club management in the January transfer window disappointed Liverpool fans. They aren’t used to such a drought of signings ever since Jürgen Klopp became manager. The only senior player that was recruited in January was Cody Gakpo, which seems to be too little given the way “Reds“ underperformed in the first half of the season.
We already wrote about the reasons for a January “silence“ of the Liverpool management in the transfer window that just closed. …
Wolves 3 - 0 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings
Wolves 3 - 0 Liverpool - Premier League Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 6.0
It’s always a relief when this man is in between the sticks, but even his form has dropped off, of late. So horribly let down by his defensive group, with little chance on the first half goals. He seemed unsure for the third goal, but this isn’t any of his doing. Couple of good saves kept the reds hopes faintly alive at 2-0.
Trent Alexander Arnold …
Tony Evans: No Government Should Be Able To Buy Liverpool FC - Not China, Qatar or the USA
It comes around about once every decade. The Scouse vs. Wool, Local vs. Out-Of-Towner debate is a Liverpool staple. This time it’s got a new twist. The suggestion that the club could be bought by Qataris has added an extra wrinkle.
You’re racist if you object to despots.
Tuesday marked the fifteenth anniversary of the formation of Spirit of Shankly as a response to the ownership crisis caused by George Gillett and Tom Hicks. They are still fighting the good …
FSG Out - The Rise & Fall of our Controversial Owners
For the entirety of January, I was convinced my football club would recruit that midfielder which was desperately needed. My misguided faith in our owners (doing the right thing) has left me saddened, as I wanted to remember them for all the good they have done for this historical club. It can never be denied how they were able to modernise, restructure, grow, and bring this franchise to the very peak of modern-day football. Their success was built upon smart …
Wolves v Liverpool - The PL Preview
In a period where we only ever seem to play Brighton or Wolves, we are once again tasked with bouncing back from a disappointing result. Despite knocking Wolves out of the FA Cup a few weeks back, the Reds were unable to progress past the Seagulls in the very next round. This weekend’s game represents a time when all domestic cup ventures are now behind both parties, with only a single-minded desire to climb the Premier League table remaining.
After …
