Should We Have a More Balanced View on Michael Owen?

A disclaimer before I begin: I’m a Michael Owen fan.  I’m of an age that means that I was just starting to be aware of football, and starting to play football when Owen was at his peak. The first football match I can ever remember seeing on TV? Germany vs England, in Munich. He was...

Virgil Van Dijk is Overrated

It's hard to ignore the presence of Virgil Van Dijk at Liverpool FC. Looking past a 14 stone 6 ft 3 man-mountain is a challenge in itself, but the world record £75 million fee drew the attention of anyone and everyone with an interest in football. Against Crystal Palace, Van Dijk was awarded the Man...

An insight into elite management, with Kenny Dalglish

In Anfield Index Pro's newest podcast, The King and AI, Sir Kenny Dalglish made his podcasting debut in what may be the first episode of a new series. This podcast is set up to support, fundraise, and raise awareness of the Marina Dalglish Appeal, an organisation made to aid sufferers of breast cancer, and we...

Rampaging Raumdeuters: Tactical Evolution of the Fullback

Thomas Muller is a peculiar footballer. The zany German is known for his aloof attitude, general mischievous behaviour, his pranks on Bayern teammates and his excellent Kermit the frog impression, once even feigning a phone call with his passport held to his ear to avoid speaking to the press. The man is a genius. His...

Liverpool 1-0 Brighton: A Tactical Breakdown

On the final game of the 2017/18 season, Liverpool romped to a 4-0 victory against Brighton, but this time around, Chris Hughton was determined for the type of game and result to be completely different to the preceding meeting between the two sides. Brighton set up in a 4-5-1 off ball formation. In recent games,...

Three On The Trot! – Key Stats from Liverpool 1-0 Brighton

Liverpool went back to the top of the Premier League with a tense but richly deserved 1-0 win over a stubborn Brighton side at Anfield. But what were the key stats from the Reds’ third win – and third clean sheet – in three games? De-Fence, De-Fence Did I mention the three clean sheets in three...

Reds Keep It Clean, Blanking Brighton 1-0

Another match, another battle, another clean sheet. On first observation, this one looked to have come with quite a bit more effort than the previous two; Palace and West Ham. After City dropped two points to Wolves, this match took on massive importance. Liverpool will need to get used to playing with the pressure...

Key Observations As Liverpool Eke Out Another Win

Liverpool maintained their 100% win rate as they overcame a dogged Brighton side to win by the odd goal. Liverpool had their chances but were not in their best rhythm as they struggled to convert those chances into goals. Brighton were solid for most part of the game and should not be disheartened by...

Liverpool 1-0 Brighton: Player Ratings from a nervy Anfield evening

Liverpool made it three Premier League wins in three games with a 1-0 win over Brighton at Anfield. A well-worked move was finished off by Mo Salah midway through the first half, and the Reds saw off the rest of the game with that lead intact. It was a game that meandered between uninspiring and...

How Mo Salah Built A Superstar’s Aura

There are many things that make Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo the greatest players of their generation, if not in the history of the game. They score goals at an unfathomable rate; they lift their teams when they are struggling; they produce moments of genius and their level of consistency is second to none. Something that...

Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion: Key Battles

After two wins in their first two games, the Reds are back in Premier League action on Saturday evening as Brighton & Hove Albion come to Anfield in good spirits, after a fabulous win over Manchester United last weekend. The Reds have scored six and conceded nothing in their first two games, so they will...

Up The “Diving” Reds

In a world where Trump is the leader of the free world and Sergio Ramos has a closet full of trophies, you have to ask yourself, can Liverpool win while being nice guys? Being everybody’s second favourite club is nice, but it doesn’t exactly fill up the trophy cabinet. None of us would want a...

A Guide to Winning the Premier League & Why Liverpool Fans Should Be Optimistic

With the 2018-19 season underway, there is no shortage of betting sites and prediction models that tell us which teams are likely to finish first in the Premier League (PL). At the same time, there is no shortage of pundit and fan opinions on what it would take to win the title. One of...

Crystal Palace 0 – 2 Liverpool: A Tactical Breakdown

Liverpool's 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park was a perfect result. The performance itself though was a great deal detached from perfect. LFC's attacking brilliance is regularly lauded and rightfully praised, however, the response to the victory against Palace does not accurately reflect the performance itself, nor the underwhelming work of the forwards and midfield...

Football Betting – Bound For Success?

Statistics and analysis can bring up several trends to correlate data with footballing success, but it remains that the sport is inherently volatile. Any team can beat another on their day and this is reflected in the £286 per year betting loss that the average UK adult makes, year on year - an all-time high. As...

Fabulous but Fab-less: Liverpool’s Patience with Fabinho

Patience is a virtue. Sometimes, especially as football fans, we can struggle to see the bigger picture, the longer term, and we can get focused on the here and now. And we can start to question certain decisions. But we need to remember that a little patience never hurt anyone. Take Fabinho, for example. Liverpool’s...

Why Liverpool Must Be More Than Just Their Front Three

“I’m worried about Liverpool’s front three.” What Pep Guardiola said was correct. Words that were shared far and wide amid social media following the release of Amazon’s Manchester City documentary: "All or Nothing", the sentiment of the manager whose ideals defined a generation should well be shared among every manager who comes up against Jürgen...

Observations as Liverpool cruise to second win in a row

Liverpool ran out winners against bogey team Crystal Palace on Monday night, leaving fresh hope that Klopp’s side can truly match Man City for the Premier League title this season. Goals from James Milner and Sadio Mane confirmed a 2-0 win, giving the Reds six points from a possible six thus far. Here are the...

Are We Seeing the Rebirth of the Player Manager?

The illustrious career of Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool Football Club has seen his name emblazoned on the terraces at Anfield and sung throughout the Kop with endless fervour. His record of 172 goals for the Reds in 515 appearances led to Liverpool being crowned the champions of England on 8 occasions and of Europe...

Crystal Palace 0-2 Liverpool – Man of the Match

After blowing West Ham on opening weekend, Liverpool won in a different, and more satisfying way against Crystal Palace under the lights at Selhurst Park. The Reds' performance oozed control and composure virtually from start to finish. There was never any hint of panic as they chipped away in the first half until James Milner...

Virgil Van Wall – Key Stats from Palace 0 Liverpool 2

Liverpool made it two wins out of two in the Premier League with a hard-fought but thoroughly deserved 2-0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. But what were the key stats as the Reds continued their impressive start to the season? Reds Run At Palace Continues Palace are a team that most Liverpool fans hate...

Liverpool battle to a 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace

Kicking off on Monday night, Liverpool were looking up at their rivals in the early season Premier League table. A win was needed to keep pace with Spurs, Chelsea and Manchester City, who set out a marker with a 6-1 victory on Sunday. It was obvious early on that this wasn't going to be a...

Player ratings as Liverpool see off Crystal Palace 2-0

I'M BACK ON RATINGS! THE REDS ARE BACK AT UPSETTING PALACE FANS! REJOICE! Great win, lovely team to play against, Palace are. Never a moment's doubt. Let's get into it. Oh Virgil... Alisson (7): Didn't have anything to do for an hour in respect to goalkeeping so instead he made a case for best passer on the pitch....

Jurgen Klopp’s Model of Low Net Spend and Vast Sustainability

Jose Mourinho used to be a manager that would fend off constant criticism; a natural winner who achieved monumental success wherever he went not giving a damn what anyone thought. His honours include four ‘World’s best club coach’ awards, two Champions League trophies, three Premier League titles, one FA Cup, four League Cups, three La...

Trent vs Clyne: Where Does the Difference Lie?

It was, to my mind, a surprise to see Trent Alexander-Arnold start over Nathaniel Clyne at right-back for Liverpool's season-opener against West Ham on Sunday. Alexander-Arnold had only returned to the fold at the beginning of the Evian training camp, and when he came on in the penultimate friendly against Napoli just eight days before the...

How Gini Wijnaldum Can Evolve into the Complete Midfielder

Amidst all of the transfer speculation across the summer, there were suggestions that Gini Wijnaldum could leave the Reds due to increasing competition in our midfield. Although at times the Dutchman can flatter to deceive, Gini is an integral part of this Liverpool squad and should be a crucial part of our midfield for...

Why Liverpool Fans Still Cannot Forgive Roy Hodgson

With Jürgen Klopp's confident Liverpool side coming up against Crystal Palace in their first Monday night fixture of the new season, they also come face-to-face with perhaps one of the worst previous managers the club has seen in modern times. So bad was Hodgson’s six-month spell in charge that most have almost eradicated it from...

Klopp’s Midfield Dilemma Ahead of Crystal Palace Clash

At long last, there is genuine depth in Liverpool's midfield. The Reds are no longer praying for certain players to stay fit and there are now six or seven reliable, experienced figures who can be effective whenever required. This was perfectly illustrated during Sunday's 4-0 victory over West Ham, as Jurgen Klopp's men got their...
