In lieu of pissing off yet more Scousers I have decided to tone down the abuse and cast a more critical eye. Fuck knows how it’s going to turn out.
One confirmed impressively early and the other at the centre of yet another drawn out, big money move; Roberto Firmino and Christian Benteke represent two sides...
“Be careful what you wish for” so says an old saying. For long Liverpool fans have craved a big money or big name signing. They complained Liverpool could not win anything with kids and that the clubs transfer policy needed mixing up to stand any chance of challenging for silverware. So it seems the...
As it’s the summer time the writers at Anfield Index are starting a new Summer Holiday series! Today we have a scouting report of players in Italy.
To make this article a bit more interesting, this piece will look at players who:
Play in Serie A
Are of Italian nationalities
Are aged 25 or under at the time of...
News broke on Thursday afternoon that Liverpool were going to meet the release clause for Christian Benteke. The prayers of many had been answered. Liverpool are buying 'goals'. That basic narrative had been pushed for a while now.
"If Liverpool had a striker last season that scored we'd have finished top 4."
Football isn't that basic...
So it looks like Nathaniel Clyne will be Liverpool's sixth summer signing of the season. The infamous 'transfer-committee' have worked tirelessly this summer to ensure that Liverpool's transfer dealings get done early before the start of pre-season. James Miner and Adam Bogdan (free transfers), Danny Ings (Tribunal fee), Joe Gomez (£3.5 million) and Roberto...
A lot of people on Twitter seem to believe that James Milner and Jordan Henderson offer nothing to a football team other than athleticism. Both can run forever and neither of them would ever quit before the game was up. Both are model professionals and both have their own charities to match, giving them...
In the aftermath of the Liverpool vs Chelsea game on Sunday I was scrolling through Twitter looking at the overreactions of many with stats being thrown around like nobody's business. All normal stuff before one stat in particular caught me off guard.
"Brendan Rodgers averages 76 points per season as Liverpool manager."
Shit, I thought, how...
"Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed"
- Irene Peter.
Defensive frailties have been at the forefront of Brendan Rodgers' reign as Liverpool manager so far. The goals of last season papered over last season's cracks and despite the improvement since Christmas 2014, Liverpool are only 4 goals better off defensively than they...
The word 'Legend' is banded around a lot in football. The Steven Gerrard all-star game was billed to be past Liverpool 'legends' playing in one game. The truth is though they aren't legends, not club legends anyway. This attitude breeds mediocrity.
The fans of Liverpool Football Club shouldn't be using International success as a way...
When Jordan Henderson was announced as Liverpool's vice-captain, it was seen as a reward for his hard work and progression. When Steven Gerrard announced his imminent departure, the complexion changed, and even more so since the captain's absence through injury - all eyes are now on how he would step up.
Criticisms came thick and...
