Assessing Liverpool's Chances of Champions League Progress

Scouting Report: Alexis Mac Allister

Another day of the week and another midfielder is linked to Liverpool. Similarly to the Bellingham, Mount and Nunes rumours there appears to be real credibility to this one which has been mentioned by a few different sources. A World Cup winner, a ruthless transfer negotiator combined with our clear and obvious need means...

Liverpool 2 – 2 Arsenal- PL Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 6.0 Two close range efforts left the giant keeper little chance, as the reds gave away the first period of the game. A solid showing all around. Was not his best display with some unsure handling. Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0 The best and worst of our much talked about fullback. He was targeted...

Liverpool 2 – 2 Arsenal – PL Man of the Match

Liverpool 2 - 2 Arsenal - PL Man of the Match Ibrahima Konaté A monster of a defender that allows so much of our flaws to be covered. Had to cover an entire side of the defence at times, with the tactical setup making the home side uncomfortable. His physicality and desire to engage the opposition kept...

I Want Jürgen Klopp to Succeed, But What If He Doesn’t…

It is completely logical to allow for a summer of reshaping after one disappointing transitional season, especially given the joy and success that has come the Reds' way under Jürgen Klopp. I desperately want our German coach to succeed once more, in turn recreating that which had been so enthralling and exciting. If we...

Tony Evans: Anfield Appears to be Paralysed

None of what we are watching is acceptable. The performance against Manchester City was appalling. Everyone knows that Liverpool cannot compete with the Etihad’s spending. The players can work as hard as Pep Guardiola’s team, though. They didn’t. Chelsea wasn’t much better. Jurgen Klopp talked about “small steps” forward. Didn’t see that myself. Chelsea are crap....

Premier League Matchday 30 Preview

Premier League Matchday 30 will be shown by pay-TV broadcasters Sky Sports and BT Sport in the UK with match highlights available free on BBC Sport with Match of the Day. Due to some corporate restructuring, my weekly Premier League preview is being moved from Liberty Shield to here on Anfield Index. Given we'll have...

Liverpool v Arsenal – The PL Preview

This coming Sunday should be a super contest between two of English football's most historic teams. Though the Gunners are top of the league, the Reds are currently flailing in 8th position, thus making the game more of a standard Sunday. With the Easter weekend approaching, both teams will be hunting for three points,...

Klopp Must Copy The AC Milan Model Of The 1990’s

I remember one of my first experiences with Championship Manager, probably in the early to mid 1990’s. I would often be sat round my friend’s house, scouring the entirety of Europe for players, whilst trying to build the most attacking and fanciful team of superstars. A 4-3-3 system was the formation I used back...

LFC Players That Deserved More England Recognition

In the light of Trent Alexander Arnold’s latest England International snub, it’s a continuation of the question as to whether he deserves to be there or not. With a mere 18-caps to his name, the 23-year-old has consistently remained either the third or fourth choice in Gareth Southgate’s eyes. As it stands, this season...

Would A Year in The Europa League Help The Reds?

With the Reds now out of all remaining cup competitions, the race to qualify for next season's Champions League is now all there is to fight for. We saw a couple of years ago how the reds could mount an end of season charge, yet this somehow feels much more different. That very campaign...

Scouting Report: Jesper Lindstrom

A link with a player thats unlikely to be too well-known to the majority of the fan-base, but likely to be popular with those that have seen him. Someone whose delivered goals and assist this season, is a perfect age, versatile and a self-confessed Liverpool fan should naturally be on our radar and recent...

We Need to Sell Players Like Kostas & Take Money Off Others Again…

In the early stages of Jurgen Klopp’s reign, Michaels Edwards was able to pull off some amazing robberies. Players that sat firmly on the fringes of the Liverpool first team were directed towards clubs that were desperate to part with their money. The strategy and recruitment side of the club was almost flawless, with...

Chelsea 0 – 0 Liverpool – PL Player Ratings

Chelsea 0 - 0 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 7.0 The player of the year and perhaps the only reason we are not sat in the bottom half of the league. Made some brilliant early stops, as the home team consistently broke free. He was key in making himself a huge obstacle for...

Chelsea 0 – 0 Liverpool – PL Man of the Match

Chelsea 0 - 0 Liverpool - PL Man of the Match Alisson Becker Yet another man of the match performance. It’s shocking how over reliant we have become of the Brazilian number one, with Chelsea able to gallop at his goal time and time again. The early saves and large spreads were vital, as the reds just...

Scouting Report: Conor Gallagher

It’s becoming the unfortunate rinse-repeat formula of the season and it’s showing no signs of abating. Liverpool lose badly away from home, a team and especially a midfield gets overrun and outfought and then the following day we’re linked with another midfielder. The same names have been on repeat, so in one way it...

Either Klopp must Make System Changes, or We Need A Manager That Can…

A system was devised and implemented to adapt to the modern game, under the guidance of a brilliant German manager. VAR was a tool that helped revolutionise the game, which has benefited the game overall. The Reds' defensive high line is something that has always been negatively portrayed by pundits and commentators, yet was...

Dr Phil Diagnosis: Manchester City

After a humiliating result and performance at The Etihad where the top four looks a pipe dream, Dave Davis walks through the Manchester City game with Dr Phil Barter from the Under Pressure Pod to find a snippet of what the data told us and look where it went so wrong. We looked at...

Chelsea v Liverpool – The PL Preview

On Sunday afternoon Graham Potter was relieved of his managerial post, with the reds now perhaps facing a ‘new manager’ bounce. It appears that Potters former assistant, Bruno Salter, will be instated as the interim boss, therefore it is unclear what reaction there will actually be. Todd Boehly has been very successfully creating a...

Liverpool Is Fighting For Disability Inclusion – In The Community, The Stands, And The Media

The match day experience of a Premier League supporter living with disability is not always an easy one. A recent Times report on the lack of FA enforcement over non-compliance as it regards accessibility measures found that some fans described their matchday experience as ‘horrible’, deriving little enjoyment from the match. As Liverpool fans, however, the...

Manchester City 4 – 1 Liverpool – The Post-Mortem

Another away game and yet another loss. This was probably the most anticipated result of Liverpool’s season, with a complete difference in both class and endeavour from the two sides. Where this game had previously represented the meeting of England’s top two sides for 4-5 years, this was a million miles away from that...

Klopp Emargo: Temper Expectations

Liverpool will definitely spend in the summer. Those are the words of Jurgen Klopp, whilst not committing to the question on where we’ll spend £100 million on one player. There does need to be a number of arrivals through the door at Anfield, mainly across the midfield but a new centre-back is also on...

Lessons Learned: Manchester City

It’s hard to believe it was even a contest for the first half it seems that long ago. Liverpool weren’t just beaten by Manchester City they were outworked, outfought and second best in every measure. For all that seemed good for the first forty-five, it was the exact opposite in a second-half where you...

What next for Thiago at Liverpool?

When Thiago arrived at Liverpool in the summer of 2020, it was almost impossible not to feel ecstatic at the news, with the Spaniard one of the most gifted midfielders of his generation. The Reds had enjoyed so much success with a hard-working, functional midfield of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum, as well as...

Manchester City 4 – 1 Liverpool – PL Player Ratings

Manchester City 4 - 1 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 5.0 An unsure day of goalkeeping for the giant Brazilian, though he was once again let down by a plethora of inept players ahead of him. He remains the reds best player this season. Trent Alexander Arnold - 3.0 A poor defensive showing, with so...

Liverpool’s top four footballers that have changed the course of the club in the new Millenium

Liverpool is what it is today because of the club’s unique capability in using its resources in the best and most effective and most efficient way possible. And here we are talking about human resources - that is, the footballers! Liverpool has so many fans both inside and outside England, who follow the club and...

Max Aarons & The Need for Competition at Right Back

Max Aarons & The Need for Competition at Right Back For such an illustrious and successful club, we find ourselves in a position where there is now much to do, in order to regenerate a flagging empire. It is perhaps the unbelievable highs of recent times, which have made this season’s drop off so dramatic....

Tony Evans: Time For The Mentality Monsters to Step Up

This is where all the cliches ring true. It’s now or never. No hiding place. Take responsibility. No excuses. At the Etihad tomorrow everybody needs to show up. If anything is to come from this disappointment of a season, Liverpool need to take something from Manchester City. And let’s be honest, one point will probably not...

Liverpool’s Greatest Premier League Eleven

After the weekend (which saw several Liverpool legends assemble), I had a little thought about which one I could possibly write about. One of my colleagues has written about the next steps of Steven Gerrard (available this week on Anfield Index), whereas I have chosen to compile what I believe to be the best...

In this article, we will take a look at the top 10 best football players in Liverpool FC history. Introduction Liverpool FC has a rich history filled...

Scouting Report: James Ward-Prowse

What do Gini Wijnaldum, Andy Robertson and Xherdan Shaqiri all have in common? They’re all Jurgen Klopp signings who’ve done well and crucially, been bought from clubs that were relegated. Value is value wherever you find it though and if the rumours are to be believed then Liverpool may potentially be looking to repeat...
