Liverpool 2 - 2 Wolves - FA Cup Player Ratings
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 5.0
Confirmed as the FA Cup keeper again, he’s been the reds best player so far this season. In a rare moment of uncertainty, he gave away the opening goal with a very poor pass out. Made a solid save shortly thereafter,...
Liverpool 2 - 2 Wolves - FA Cup Man of the Match
Mohamed Salah
His overall contribution to this game was nowhere near his best level, yet his goal and willingness to try and create moments shone amongst a sporadic team effort.
The touch, awareness, clinical finish, and reliability allowed us to take the lead. It was...
With the festive period of the Premier League now complete, the Reds can at least avert their attentions to a less pressure inducing competition. As the reigning and defending champions of the FA Cup, one may feel that this Liverpool side will do all in their power to retain their piece of silverware. Given...
Liverpool’s dismal 3-1 defeat at Brentford on Monday put a massive dent in their hopes of securing a top four finish in the Premier League.
The result left the Reds seven points adrift of fourth place and with a big job on their hands to bridge the gap during the second half of the season.
Despite...
The performance in the 3-1 defeat by Brentford was unacceptable. There were so many things wrong that it’s hard to know where to start. It was not the way to open the new year.
Everyone is looking for scapegoats and has their own theory: the midfield is an ongoing problem; the tactics have stopped working;...
One of my Anfield Index colleagues has been compiling a comparison piece that relates this this one. The topic of that article will be a direct comparison between Matheus Nunes and Jude Bellingham. The latter is perhaps the most linked player to Anfield in all of football history, which is a very difficult prize...
It’s annoying to use a quote that Gary Neville’s made in recent times, but as he’s stated “things are never as bad as they seem and never as good as they appear”. Things don’t appear to be good with Liverpool’s team and especially the midfield right now, but it’s not beyond repair and the...
Welcome to 2023, everyone - Liverpool are still an absolute nightmare to watch.
Monday's dire 3-1 defeat away to Brentford was the latest in a long line of unacceptable performances this season and they were deservedly punished for it.
A run of four Premier League wins in a row may have been encouraging, but ultimately, those...
With a couple of days to reflect and take a sensible view on Liverpool’s last outing, it was still something close to dreadful. We have had too many abject performances so far this term, with resulting theories and opinions thrown about by the fan base like confetti. The conspiracies surrounding Pep Lijnders and his...
2022 was some year for Reds all around the world! Some incredible highs punctuated by heartbreaking lows and it doesn’t look like the drama shows any signs of subsiding this year either. We spoke to Official Liverpool Supporters Clubs (OLSC’s) in Baltimore, Kolhapur and Edinburgh for their thoughts….
Q: What’s been your personal highlight of...
For all the questions that Jurgen Klopp answers at the press conferences from reporters or articles from patch journalists, there appears no way of stopping some Reds reacting to every word written or uttered. None more than the ever reliable Paul Joyce of The Times, whose most recent report stated that Liverpool’s business is...
With the January transfer window now officially open, the country’s football supporting fraternity waits for their respective teams to spend their money. Sports journalism will be rife for the next month, with rumour, speculation, and a willingness to write about anything that may happen.
That is exactly what I’m going to be doing right now,...
Where to even start with this one. A hard watch for all Reds against Brentford, as Liverpool were outfought, outrun and came away with what they deserved from the Gtech Community stadium. The outcry on social media was vast and no-one escaped, all the way from the manager to the owners. Liverpool’s season appears...
2023 is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal years in the history of Liverpool Football Club. Decisions that need to be made will alter the course of its history for a long time to come. Key amongst them is a choice FSG need to make- stay or go. For me, it's...
Very few players obtained pass marks against Leicester City, maybe a handful at best. For all the scrutiny that quite rightly came the way of senior players such as Jordan Henderson, it was another player in Liverpool's midfield who roused a few murmurings from the sidelines and Reds watching at home. Harvey Elliott's talent...
Brentford 3 - 1 Liverpool - Premier League Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 6.0
Made a super one on save in the early stages, only to see an own goal slip past him with the resulting corner. So unlucky with the second goal, with his team continuing to let him down. Was let down again for...
With two victories and one game to go, the Christmas and New Year’s Premier League fixture list has started very well for the Reds. After a decent Boxing Day trip to Villa Park, Jurgen Klopp followed that up with a home win against Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City. Though that 2-1 victory came with some...
It’s wasn’t very pretty eh? But at this time of the year, the classic statement prevails: three points is three points. There was plenty to analyse in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Leicester City and not all of it was good. Pass marks for some, performance lacking for others and the likes of Fabinho (congratulations...
Liverpool 2 - 1 Leicester - PL Post-Mortem
With maximum points garnered from the reds two last games, the Premier League restart has at least brought that positive with it. In essence, all Liverpool fans would have taken that outcome by any means possible, but the underlying fact is that this team is scrambling to...
Liverpool has already experienced many European away fixtures this season in the UEFA Champions League, but more is to come in the knockout stage. The Reds began poorly with a heavy defeat in Naples before reacting with a dominant victory at home to Ajax before back-to-back convincing wins over Rangers. The latter opposition provided...
Liverpool 2 - 1 Leicester - PL Man Of The Match
Trent Alexander Arnold
This was an all around impressive outing for Trent, with his ability to create the opening reds goal easily matched by his defensive awareness and composure. Whenever he was caught one on one, he was full of concentration and desire to...
Liverpool 2 - 1 Leicester - Premier League Player Ratings
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 6.0
The worlds greatest keeper, it’s a joy to have him back. Could do little for the opening goal and had to react well after that. Was a little too busy through the second half, without really having to over extend himself.
Trent...
How was 2022 for you? The answer has to be “crap” in a general sense. From a Liverpool perspective it’s been a mixed year.
We forget quickly but the first five months were as uplifting as any period in my supporting life. The quest for the quad was special. To go into the last week...
The natural excitement around the signing of Cody Gakpo is both expected and understandable. Liverpool needed an attacker and they went out and got a good one, especially in what can be considered real value in today’s market. The Dutchman’s signing will give everyone around the club a boost and help reinforce the belief...
Jude, Enzo, Declan, and now Moisés.
These are the names that have been most notably linked with a January move to Liverpool, so with the transfer window now almost upon us, it could be that another signing is about to be confirmed.
Cody Gakpo has this week been unveiled as the Reds' new forward addition, with...
Liverpool’s need for a midfielder has been evident all campaign and a stark reminder was provided in the opening second half exchanges at Villa Park. The need for legs and physicality mixed with a Cody Gakpo story, means Reds everywhere are believing we’ll be active in the January market in this area. Whilst the...
With one game won and two to go, the Christmas Premier League fixture list has started very well for the Reds. After a successful Boxing Day trip to Villa Park, Jurgen Klopp will now be hoping to heap further misery on former Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, as Friday will see his Leicester side travel...
A win is a win and three points to kickstart the reds Premier League campaign could prove vital. Though our red men dragged their second half feet in getting there, all that mattered was victory, and that is what we achieved.
On a day when a surprising move for Cody Gakpo is deal close to...
So much for a quiet Boxing Day eh? No sooner had the dust settled on the Villa win and a swift Christmas Cinzano, than chaos erupted. A long, forgotten Paul Joyce bombshell was dropped in the form of a breaking move for Cody Gakpo. In true recent Liverpool transfer style, advanced negotiations quickly gave...
By stepping away from the Enzo & Jude propaganda for a moment, it brings the realisation that a more affordable midfielder may be needed this coming January. No single man (apart from perhaps John Henry) can be aware of the funds that are currently available, especially with Julian Ward serving his final few months...
