AnfieldIndex Stats: Liverpool 2 Man Utd 1 – FA Cup 4th Round

As promised, we've collated Liverpool FC stats from the FA Cup 4th Round tie against Manchester United. It's taken us most of the day to do so using the footage that was shown on TV. Therefore some of these stats will not be as accurate as Opta's as they have access to non-replay match...

Skrtel, Agger, Carragher | The Battle for the Centre

This time last year was a good time to be a Liverpool fan. Up until Saturday 8th January 2011 we had endured one of the most challenging times in terms of club form and morale, with the “Liverpool way” seemingly being eroded in front of our eyes. In recent times there had been the...

Man City 0 Liverpool 1 | All the Stats from the Carling Cup Semi Final 1st leg

So it was first blood to Liverpool in the Carling Cup semi final after they edged, or rather squeezed past Manchester City, at the Etihad Stadium. If you'd offered Liverpool any type of lead going back to Anfield for the second leg I think they'd have more than taken it. We, at Anfield Index, have...

Liverpool Striking Options | Who’s going to fill the onion bag?

    A poacher, a Rush, an Aldridge, dare I say it an on form, happy Torres. We must’ve all wished for one this season. Suarez is a genius but needs to up his conversion rate (currently 7%) and quickly, when he returns. We need someone to convert our chances. The table shows we are in...
