Steve Peters | The ‘chimp’ that figured it out
It has been well documented last season that Liverpool FC has had a helping hand from psychiatrist Dr. Steve Peters. He has helped with the genius the minds of the Liverpool players before demanding games and after mentally vigorous bouts. He was one of the main reasons Steven Gerrard had recovered so promptly from his mistake against Chelsea.
Little do many people know, Steve Peters has been involved with Sports phycology for more than ten years and he has had …
The "Marquee Signing" saga: Do Liverpool need one?
Dreaded yet inevitable, Luis Suarez has finally moved on to La Liga. With the great season last year, it was easy to praise the players for their efforts, and the up and coming campaign is something that everyone is looking forward to. However, now with the star striker departed, do we need to bring in a star name to make the world sit up and listen?
We've brought in some new and mostly young additions, sustaining the idea of the …
LFC | A Letter From America
A little over a month ago I expressed interest in, and was contacted about, the possibility of being on an Anfield Index “International Addition” podcast. I would be representing Liverpool Football Club supporters from the United States. Unfortunately, due to timing and technical problems on my end, I was not even able to “audition” to be involved. Upsetting, but we roll on. The content I’ve heard so far on the International podcasts has been fantastic, and I’d like to say …
Liverpool FC: Shaping up for 2014/15
Liverpool arrive yet again at major crossroads in their path to challenge for top honours. Cries of ‘it’s the bigger summer transfer window’ in years are heard around Anfield and social media is in a frenzy over how the proceeds from the impending sale of Luis Suarez should be spent.
Luis Suarez – the day was always going to come when he would pack up and head to sunny Spain. Thankfully, due to Liverpool’s canny owners and the insert of …
Bony.... Um? | A look at Liverpool's latest transfer target
It's official, Suarez has left Liverpool Football Club for the Catalonian sunshine, to join Messi, Neymar and become one of the "new Galacticos". Good for him, but where does that leave Brendan Rodgers and LFC? €90m richer, but seeking to replace 31 league goals, 12 assists and a whole lot of work rate.
Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Emre Can have all put pen to paper on Liverpool contracts so far, and Lazar Markovic may well have completed his move …
Liverpool's Owners Hold All The Cards Over Suarez
And so it happened. Sanchez said no.
As ever in transfer windows, it’s not over until Sky Sources tell you. But it’s gone. As hard a pill as that is to swallow, Liverpool do seemed to have moved on.
So what now? Where do Liverpool turn next? Well, maybe that’s the wrong question.
At this moment, as of 6pm on Tuesday the 8th of July to be precise, Suarez still plays for Liverpool. Do I expect him to be around at …
Liverpool, Transfers and the Goalpost
Imagine the scene.
It’s the first day of pre-season. There’s damp in the air at Melwood but Brendan and the staff are in good spirits.
Brendan was late for once, he had spent a good hour in front of the mirror looking at his new red training top.
‘Tight fitting’ he murmured. ‘Nice!’
Still admiring himself, he was interrupted by a knock at the door. The new secretary entered the room.
‘Hello Mr Rodgers, they’re ready for you’. She looked …
The Good, the Bad and the Future | Liverpool FC
It's been a while since I felt particularly moved to write a piece on the re-emergence from near extinction of LFC. So many others were doing it, some good, some bad some obvious or indifferent that yet another to add to the heap seemed pointless, even gratuitous - we had also just lost Kenny Dalglish as manager, and with my genuine and deeply felt reservations about the new man, Brendan Rodgers, I felt it was better to hang fire - …
Support the Club Not the Player | Liverpool FC
Remember Norwich at Anfield in 2013, a cold dreary day, in a match that was almost called off due to heavy snow.
Once more the Canaries came to Liverpool FC in the hope they’d avoid a thrashing. Liverpool’s form hadn’t been great, still fighting on in the Europa league and the FA cup, trying to climb out of the doldrums of the league, the Reds were yet to click. Norwich were confident, they smelled blood.
Then, quite simply, Luis Suarez …
Now's Not the Time to Worry About Suarez
Luis Suarez. Husband. Father. Football genius.
It was always going to be one of those windows. There was always going to be speculation. When you have a player a good as Luis, gossip never sleeps.
The reality is, nobody, barring a close inner circle truly knows the details. But in transfer windows, reality, quite literally, goes out of the window (excuse the pun).
All rumour, conjecture, supposed knowledge; it all has to be taken with a pinch of salt. The …
