We seem to have become the club with no answers, after spending so long as the opposition that no one had an answer for. Our combative nature was replaced with recycled possession, as teams became unwilling to engage a team that terrified them. At some point along our wave of destruction, everyone got wind...
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....
 With Sean Dyche making an immediate impact as the new Goodson Park boss, it should make the Merseyside Derby a real occasion this coming Monday. Liverpool appear in free-fall, and with Klopp and Dyche having a past of confrontations (on the side-lines), this should add spice to a glorious night under the Anfield lights.

A few reports surfaced in the latter part of last week, linking Mohamed Salah with a move away from Anfield. PSG have been mentioned as a potential destination, with a fee of around £80m being mentioned. As this season becomes destined to remain a disappointment, it could mean a huge summer overhaul of the...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
