The Premier League brings in Christmas festivities early as Liverpool travel to the Emirates Stadium on Friday night to take on Arsenal in a mammoth encounter as the race to finish in the Premier League Top 4 begins to heat up, and the festive period begins in earnest, with 4 games in the space...

Liverpool’s perfect performance: Tactical masterclass?

Liverpool's demolition of Bournemouth appeared to be one of the complete performances of the season. Utterly dominant and prepotent in the first half, Liverpool romped to victory, with a pressing, passing and offensive performance which defied all expectations. https://twitter.com/Caley_graphics/status/942502495582113797 To me, Liverpool looked distinctly better with their passing. Indeed, Liverpool had an 88pc passing accuracy, whilst retaining...

Why Can Liverpool Only Win One Way?

Whilst looking at some of the stats that fell out of Liverpool’s win over Bournemouth, one, in particular, stood out to me – seven out of Liverpool’s nine Premier League wins had been by three goals or more. I quickly realised that our three Champions League group stage wins fit this narrative too, and...

Liverpool Players Should Prepare For Porto’s Away Dressing Room

So I thought I’d write this piece as I have the first-hand experience of being in the Away Dressing room in Estadio Do Dragao, having been on a stag do in Porto a few years back and going to the stadium for a day out. It’s a wonderful modern stadium and I really like what...

The Importance of Joe Gomez to this Liverpool Side

It's fair to say it's been an inconsistent start to the season for Liverpool but there's one player who's slowly becoming one of the most reliable performers in the side. To make it even more incredible he also plays in a defensive unit which has been heavily criticised and contains some of the Reds'...

What We’ve Learnt About Klopp’s LFC | Part 1: A Case for the Attack

We've all been a bit dismayed after the ignominy of back to back home draws. This after a promising run of results, following the Spurs nightmare at Wembley. Whilst hugely frustrating, this is normal for where the squad is right now. Perhaps the emotions involved in consecutive games against Spartak and Everton affected the energy...

A Smile For Christmas – Bournemouth 0 Liverpool 4

I liked the bit where we won. From Coutinho scoring the goal of the month to Lovren’s diving header to Salah ruining Charlie Daniel’s weekend to Firmino’s header, that was fun from start to finish. More importantly, it’s nice to blow away the cobwebs from the Everton and West Brom draws/defeats (Home draws feel like...

Is Jordan Henderson Liverpool’s Best Candidate For Captaincy?

Jurgen Klopp previously claimed that “being skipper of Liverpool is the hardest job in world football because the man who had the armband before you is Steven Gerrard.” That premise seems to be ringing true. In truth, whoever took over from Gerrard was destined to fail in the eyes of Liverpool fans. Perhaps that’s why...

Liverpool Must Learn To Hold Onto The Lead

Since the debacle at Wembley back in October, Liverpool's form has been impressive. (Editors Note: This article was written before Liverpool's 4-0 win over Bournemouth) Emphatic wins over the likes of Huddersfield Town, West Ham, Southampton, Stoke and Brighton have put the Reds back on course to keep in touch with the top 3 -...

Key Stats From Bournemouth 0-4 Liverpool

Liverpool were in scintillating form once again as they took apart Bournemouth 4-0 at the Vitality Stadium in order to move back into the Premier League’s top four, with Mo Salah and Phil Coutinho once again the stars of the show.

A far cry from the drab display against West...

Player ratings as Liverpool cruise to victory at Bournemouth

Always nice to win, always nice to win away. Especially nice to win 4-0, after two depressingly ugly home games with just one goal scored. The Reds back into the top four thanks to goals from three of the Fab Four, and a first in over 12 months from Dejan Lovren! All guns blazing ahead...

Don’t Call Liverpool FC A Selling Club

Aidy Ward. At one time the name was enough to put Liverpool supporters into a cold sweat. That was remedied somewhat when he brought us Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal...  But prior to that he was considered the slimiest of all of the snakes in the reptile genus for facilitating Raheem Sterling’s move to Manchester City. That...

Liverpool 0-0 West Brom: Tactics and Stats

Days after a disappointing result in the Merseyside derby, Liverpool lined up against West Brom, in a game which many called a "must-win" fixture. Liverpool lined up with the full Fab Four, despite reports of Coutinho and Firmino not being fully fit for the derby, only a few days prior, and a hamstring strain...

Where Have Liverpool’s Late Goals Gone?

Trace your mind back to this time last year, when Sadio Mane gave us all the most delightful of early Christmas presents at Goodison Park. The Senegalese’s last-gasp tap-in against Everton secured three invaluable points for Liverpool, and also set an impressive statistic at the same time. Mane’s strike was the Reds’ 29th last-minute winner since...

Bournemouth v Liverpool Preview – Away from Anfield and Back to Winning Ways?

Key Stats from Liverpool 0-0 West Brom

Liverpool were frustrated by poor finishing and bad refereeing once again as they came unstuck against West Brom, drawing 0-0 to lose more ground in the race for top four. But what were the key stats from the game? Emre Runs The Midfield https://twitter.com/SimonBrundish/status/941069385103560704 Starting with a positive one.

Observations as Liverpool Fail To Respond Against The Baggies

Right off the bat of a frustrating draw in the Merseyside Derby on Sunday, Liverpool were once again left wondering what could've been as West Brom produced a strong defensive performance to take a point from Anfield.

Liverpool 0-0 West Brom – Fab Four Fire Blanks As LFC Held At Anfield

Liverpool were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw with West Brom as once again controversial decision-making from the officials was at the heart of the action. Whilst Liverpool were nowhere near good enough on the night, there was once again a feeling that the officials robbed the Reds of two points. Things started slowly and...

Liverpool 0-0 West Brom: Player Ratings

Liverpool recorded a 0-0 draw with West Brom at Anfield on Wednesday evening. Jürgen Klopp named the “Fab Four” in his starting XI as Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino returned. It wasn’t the best first-half performance from the Reds and they went into the break level, with little action of note. It was a similar story in...

Liverpool’s Priority Transfers For January

Now that Liverpool have emphatically topped their Champions League group with a 7-0 demolition of Spartak the club's needs for the January window have become much more clear. We polled a few Anfield Index contributors, asking them what their two priority transfers would be for the January window to set Liverpool up to add...

How on earth did Liverpool draw with Everton?

40 goals in the previous 11 games for Klopp's Liverpool and 18 years since Everton last won at Anfield: as the game entered the 75th minute, it appeared that wait would have to go on, until the FA Cup 3rd round fixture at least, as Liverpool were absolutely cruising. The reflected such a reading of the...

Liverpool v West Bromwich Albion Preview – Key Battles

After peppering the neighbours in the Merseyside Derby at Anfield for no reward on Sunday, Liverpool get ready to welcome another nomad Premier League manager to Anfield, as Alan Pardew brings his West Brom side to face a Reds side itching to get back to winning ways.

Poor Decision Making All Round For The Reds On Derby Day

79% of possession, 23 shots and 12 corners and yet somehow, Liverpool came away with just a point against The Ev. Jurgen Klopp delivered a roll of the dice before kick-off, opting to demote Philippe Coutinho and Bobby Firmino to the bench in favour of Dominic Solanke and Oxlade-Chamberlain. A double pivot of Henderson and...

Strange (Mersey) Sides – Liverpool 1 Everton 1

I would have been a bit disappointed at 1-0, to be honest. That sounds mealy-mouthed, doesn’t it? Being all sniffy at a one goal win against the other lot from across the park, but such was the paucity of Everton’s defence and attack (including the slowest forward line in their history) that I wanted at...

Key Stats from Liverpool 1-1 Everton

Liverpool were frustrated again as they registered another 1-1 draw at home against opposition that they really should have been beating. But what were the key stats from the Merseyside Derby? Salah Leads From The Front Once again, it was the Mo Salah show at Anfield. Despite only playing 67 minutes, Salah notched six key passes,...
