If you had the chance to listen to the latest edition of ‘Rate, Don’t Hate’ podcast on the Anfield Index, you’ll know that I’m all for some form of shake-up within this current Liverpool team. As it stands, the injury crisis is alarming, and will make certain decisions a necessity when the times comes...
One of the pioneers of radio and radar Robert Watson-Watt (a genius played by Eddie Izzard in the film Castles in the Sky) talked about a cult of the imperfect. He said “give them the third best to go on with; the second best comes too late, the best never comes.” For some reason...
“Firmino might be ready for next week.”
That was Jurgen Klopp’s response when asked about the striker situation following the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace. With Diogo Jota still out with a hamstring injury and Darwin Nunez now suspended, the Reds are heavily reliant on their Brazilian No.9 who missed the game on Monday as...
When I was at school, there was a girl who found sheer joy in taking the mickey out of me. She would wind me up whenever she could, and she wouldn't stop. I would always try to keep my cool, but one day, it went too far. I can't remember exactly what it was...
Harvey Elliott
The teenager started, and was the bright spark of very few positives for the Reds. His youthful enthusiasm means he is currently a must in the first eleven, and hopefully with some Naby shaped control in the middle (and 11 men on the pitch), he can continue his good form against Man United...
Liverpool 1 - 1 Crystal Palace - The Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 6.5
Came in for some flak last week. He could do nothing for the opening goal, and was superb in denying Zaha shortly thereafter in a one on one. Had little to do, in another frustration filled game.
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 6.5
A rare poor...
No Liverpool fan is happy with how the Reds' opening game against Fulham went, and it really is a question as to who starts this game. Injuries are an issue, but there is still more than enough to collect all three points. The balance of the team needs to be addressed and certain games...
As soon as Thiago Alcantara was confirmed as an injury casualty, most Liverpool fans panicked given the Spaniard's superb influence on this current Liverpool side. The Liverpool shape can commonly be predicted with a clear understanding of its structure. Thiago Alcantara has operated as the orchestrator and tempo setter in every game he’s played,...
Portuguese media have been linking Matheus Nunes with a move to Liverpool for most of the transfer window.
Correio da Manha still claim the Reds are preparing to make a move for the 23-year-old while Pedro Almeida posted a tweet today saying Liverpool are willing to pay €40million for the Brazilian-born Portugal international amid interest...
One of the saddest moments for any football supporter, is when their teams summer transfer business is prematurely complete. Now and and again, I’ll type in the name of a player we’ve been linked to, and read only the twitter threads that state a signing is imminent. Anything that offers bad news (often logic)...
