Martin Skrtel has split opinions on Merseyside for years. Ever since his move from Zenit St. Petersburg in January 2008, the Slovak has drifted in and out of the Liverpool back line. He has partnered many players in the Reds' defence; Soto Kyrgiakos, Sebastien Coates, Jamie Carragher, and most recently, Daniel Agger. Skrtel is...
Journey back to October 5th 2008, where Martin Skrtel sustained a severe knee injury, ruling him out for much for much of the 2008-09 season.
Now journey forward to the present day where Skrtel is a key player in a recovering Liverpool side, what has changed?
The Slovakian arrived in January 2008 from Zenit Saint Petersburg...
This time last year was a good time to be a Liverpool fan. Up until Saturday 8th January 2011 we had endured one of the most challenging times in terms of club form and morale, with the “Liverpool way” seemingly being eroded in front of our eyes. In recent times there had been the...
With the season just over half way gone I thought I’d take a look at Liverpool’s season team stats, see how they compare to other teams at this stage in the Premiership and also take a little look at how those statistics compare to some of last year’s totals. All though this will be...
So for the first time we're going to be covering an FA Cup match on anfieldindex.com. Also for the first time we're not going to be using Opta stats as we don't have access to any Opta stats for FA Cup matches. So in the desperation of trying to get some sort of stats...
Nearly but not quite. That was the 2008/9 Barclays Premiere League season which made the hope in Red's hearts rise so very high. Certainly did mine. Saturday 14th March, as I entered the channel tunnel returning from a trip to Rotterdam, I was one happy red. I'd just had a text confirming a 4-1...
Hansen and Lawrenson, Hansen and Thompson, Henchoz and Hyypia, Carragher and Hyypia.
These are some of the Liverpool centre-back pairings that have been forged over the years, now with the establishment of Skrtel and Agger, have we found a centre-back pairing that can last?
Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger have had little chance to play alongside...
With Liverpool sat in sixth place, three points off of fourth placed Chelsea and an inferior goal difference to the sides above them in the table, what do we need to improve on to get into a Champions League spot?
A meagre goal difference of +4 has stemmed from home draws with Sunderland, Norwich and...
Daniel Agger arrived at Liverpool in 2006 from Brondby for a fee of 6 million Pounds. His growth at Liverpool has been apparent and many consider him to be one of, if not the best central defender in the Premier League. However, his career in Merseyside has been plagued with injuries that have left...
“We all dream of a team of Carraghers” goes the Kop chant, but exactly how long will it be before we have a team-less Carragher?
At the age of 33, Carragher’s best years are behind him, yet he remains a stalwart in the centre of defence.
