Liverpool FC Opinion

Danny Ward’s time to shine?

After yet another mistake, this time against Sunderland, Simon Mignolet's time as undisputed Liverpool number 1 must be nearing an end. The ex-Sunderland 'keeper has had a torrid time this season and his 'mistakes' have cost Liverpool an apparent 15 points according to Squakwa.com. It's not as simple as this but add those 15...

Klopp’s Absence a Blessing in Disguise

Hopeless: "Impossible to accomplish, solve, resolve, etc." Saturday's game against Sunderland raised a number of issues. But no new ones. What many of us thought was an under-rated and under-valued squad - abused and suppressed by Rodgers' ignorance and personal insecurities - has turned-out to be farce. Of course, many of our problems were exacerbated by Rodgers' approach....

The Travesty of Modern Day Ticket Prices

"The word fanatic has been used many times... I think it’s more than fanaticism. It’s a religion to them. The thousands who come here, come to worship... it’s a sort of shrine, it isn’t a football ground." - Bill Shankly Bill Shankly embodied the zeitgeist; during his reign spanning from 1959-74, he developed and nurtured...

John Barnes on Jurgen Klopp, the Academy and Pressing

Anfield Index recently celebrated the 100th episode of their main podcast, which also happened to coincide with the website's fifth birthday. A double celebration meant the pressure was on Gags to deliver a guest for the event, and like always he didn't disappoint. John Barnes appeared on episode 100 and episode 101, both are...

Nathaniel Clyne: The New Glen Johnson?

Last summer, as a Liverpool fan there was not that much to rejoice about. Liverpool had finished the 2014/2015 season in a disappointing sixth position having come so close to winning the Premier League title the year before. Daniel Sturridge was hardly seen by fans, the goals from the 2013/2014 season had dried up,...

Ticket to Nowhere: FSG, the Walkout, and Us

In one of the most surreal moments as a Liverpool fan in recent memory, an estimated 10,000 supporters walked out the ground, the sacred ground at Anfield Road, Liverpool and took a stand against what is seen as unjust business practices by Liverpool's managing body, Fenway Sports Group. Though I understand and support the...

Should I stay or should I go now?

If I go will there be trouble? If I stay will there be double? So, do I or don’t I? Before we cover that, lets set a scene. Granted that whatever is painted is done with the brush of the artist, therefore it’s what I want you to see. That bias I cannot remove, such is the...

Klopp wants Heavy Metal Football but has he Inherited Spinal Tap?

When it comes to Liverpool Football Club, I’m forever the optimist. A glass half full sort of person clinging to an undying faith that the football powerhouse we once were, we will be again. One day. Hopefully. Okay, I’m mostly the optimist. But there are times when it’s necessary to take a step back, drop...

Wake Me Up When The Season Ends

What a season this has been and I don’t mean for good reasons. The highlight this season has undoubtedly been Jurgen Klopp’s arrival at Anfield, but other than that it has been a season to forget for the Reds. Every time we as fans seem to get a little bit excited, we come crashing down...

Is The Liverpool Midfield Good Enough?

No. The end. The Liverpool midfield is one area of the team that is difficult to judge. Individually many fans would say the players have enough about them to warrant a place in the Liverpool squad but it's as a collective that questions are asked, and rightly so. Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Joe Allen, Lucas and...
