Liverpool FC Opinion
For many, Liverpool’s defeat to Manchester City must’ve felt like a rerun of a movie you’d seen plenty of times throughout the years. A midfield three lacking creativity, picked solely for their energy and experience of the system being deployed, was swarmed by counterparts possessing superior quality both on and off of the ball. The […]
Thursday’s narrow defeat at the Etihad was, in many ways, the perfect depiction of football. A game primed on fine margins, Liverpool could easily have extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to ten points but for a desperate goal-line clearance. Technology would reveal the ball was within just 1.12 centimetres of […]
Liverpool visit Manchester City on Thursday aiming to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League standings. The Reds hold a six-point advantage over second-placed Tottenham Hotspur heading into the game, with the reigning champions a further point behind in third. The home side will be without defenders Joe Gomez and Joel Matip […]
Look, this is a bit of a cheat. I’ll admit that. You see, your Anfield Index writers tend to pore over pages of data, argument and counter-argument before committing words to page or screen. That’s not to say that I don’t do the same, but the end of a year allows us to do something […]
The Premier League has seen few goalscorers more prolific than Mohamed Salah. After hitting a record 32 last season, the Egyptian is going strong once again in the Golden Boot race. If he carries on finding the net at the current rate, he’ll reach the 25-goal mark before the end of the campaign. The battle […]
Supporting this Liverpool team is a real joy at the moment. After an incredible December, the mighty Reds sit at the top of the table. A healthy 7 point lead over nearest rivals City. If that kind of lead had been offered to any Liverpool fan a month ago, every fan would have bitten your […]
The year has come to an end. As we move into the new year, it is supposed to be an exciting time for us football fans – the games are coming in thick and fast over this festive period, and there is more opportunity for us to revel in what Jurgen’s Mighty Reds are accomplishing […]
Like many other lovers of football, I’m quite superstitious. When I used to play it was everything from my pre-match food to which sock or shin pad I put on first. As a fan watching it extends to wearing a certain shirt or having a certain drink. It’s mad and obviously has no impact on […]
Well, that was something, wasn’t it? Liverpool clearly enjoy playing Arsenal, as Bobby Firmino turned the heat up to eleven, ably supported by Salah and Mané as ever, with Gini Wijnaldum – another player who always turns up to play Arsenal – dominating the midfield, as well as typically great performances from the likes of […]
The Times’ David Walsh called Liverpool’s 5-1 deconstruction of Arsenal “their best performance of the season”. Liverpool barely pushed themselves. This was a clinical, ruthless and efficient dismembering of Arsenal, and precisely why Pep Guardiola said Liverpool are “the best team in the world right now”. To thoroughly outplay Arsenal, score five goals, and create […]
