Liverpool FC Stats
Klopp’s Liverpool continue to impress, moving up to sixth in the league with three points against Swansea at Anfield, before thumping six past a full strength Southampton side at St Mary’s midweek in the Capital One Cup Quarter-Final. Steve McClaren’s Newcastle, on the other hand, are probably alongside Aston Villa as the worst team, on […]
Liverpool secured their third win of the week against Swansea, and in doing so extended their time without conceding a goal to 226 minutes. The clean sheet highlights perhaps the most surprising aspect of change since Klopp’s arrival – the sudden sturdiness of Liverpool’s defence. Whilst there have been strong attacking performances, particularly against Manchester […]
Hello again Anfield Index, it’s been a while. Sorry I’ve taken some time since my last article, but apparently being in the final year of your degree is quite time-consuming. Moving on, in this piece I will be attempting to analyse what I consider the most important component of any Klopp system: the midfield. Most will […]
“Where are the goals going to come from?” was probably amongst the top five questions Liverpool fans have asked in 2015. It’s not like there wasn’t cause for concern either, saying the Reds looked blunt up front would’ve been polite. The toothless attack is a mixture of Daniel Sturridge having shares in the injury table […]
Liverpool suffered defeat against Crystal Palace, at Anfield, followed by a two week international break, so what is the ideal match to follow that? Erm, not Manchester City away. And yet, it might be ideal – Â as expectations will be low, some of the Reds’ key players have had time to rest and train, others […]
Alan Pardew, another manager who divides opinion, brings his Crystal Palace side to Anfield on the back of a good start to the season, albeit more inconsistent in recent weeks. The Eagles have won two, drawn one, and lost three of their previous six, although they were unlucky not to beat Manchester United last weekend. […]
The good news keeps on coming for Liverpool FC, Jordan Henderson has returned to training and should be available to play after the international break! The Liverpool captain, who still divides opinion amongst fans and pundits, has been absent since August after he broke a bone in his foot during training. Before the bone break, […]
Adam Lallana’s a funny one, isn’t he? He throws in a sexy little Cruyff turn one minute and follows it up with a weak shot. He draws gasps from the crowd as often as he does groans. His Liverpool career to date has been the very definition of stop-start, as niggly injuries have struck just […]
The struggles of Philippe Coutinho in recent weeks have been well documented on this website. The diminutive Brazilian hasn’t had the best of times since his beautiful long-range winner at Stoke City on the opening day of the season. So what has been the issue for Coutinho? Lack of options in front of him? Lack of […]
It’s fair to say David De Gea almost, certainly, single-handily dragged our bitter rivals to that Champions League spot last season, so I guess it wouldn’t be imprudent to slap a heavy investment towards a dominant number one. Whilst newly appointed Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp may well work his magic on some of the fringe […]
