If you had the chance to listen to the latest edition of ‘Rate, Don’t Hate’ podcast on the Anfield Index, you’ll know that I’m all for some form of shake-up within this current Liverpool team. As it stands, the injury crisis is alarming, and will make certain decisions a necessity when the times comes...
One of the pioneers of radio and radar Robert Watson-Watt (a genius played by Eddie Izzard in the film Castles in the Sky) talked about a cult of the imperfect. He said “give them the third best to go on with; the second best comes too late, the best never comes.” For some reason...
“Firmino might be ready for next week.”
That was Jurgen Klopp’s response when asked about the striker situation following the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace. With Diogo Jota still out with a hamstring injury and Darwin Nunez now suspended, the Reds are heavily reliant on their Brazilian No.9 who missed the game on Monday as...
Liverpool’s start to the Premier League campaign this season has been far from ideal, with the Reds having been hit with injuries, suspensions, and draws in which they have had to come back from being behind in.
Of course, there will be a number of players who will want to have a strong start to...
When I was at school, there was a girl who found sheer joy in taking the mickey out of me. She would wind me up whenever she could, and she wouldn't stop. I would always try to keep my cool, but one day, it went too far. I can't remember exactly what it was...
Harvey Elliott
The teenager started, and was the bright spark of very few positives for the Reds. His youthful enthusiasm means he is currently a must in the first eleven, and hopefully with some Naby shaped control in the middle (and 11 men on the pitch), he can continue his good form against Man United...
Liverpool 1 - 1 Crystal Palace - The Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 6.5
Came in for some flak last week. He could do nothing for the opening goal, and was superb in denying Zaha shortly thereafter in a one on one. Had little to do, in another frustration filled game.
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 6.5
A rare poor...
No Liverpool fan is happy with how the Reds' opening game against Fulham went, and it really is a question as to who starts this game. Injuries are an issue, but there is still more than enough to collect all three points. The balance of the team needs to be addressed and certain games...
Liverpool Football Club has long been one of the most popular and beloved clubs in England, bringing together die-hard fans from all over the world.
The rich history and legacy of the club attract plenty of new fans every year, including those who enjoy betting on Liverpool games and matches. Bettors can still win big...
Liverpool’s opening day draw to Fulham has ended up feeling like a defeat, despite the fact that the Reds showed significant character in coming back twice to earn a point after being a goal down. Perhaps that is down to the extraordinary expectations on Jurgen Klopp’s ‘mentality monsters’ and how his charges are always...
As soon as Thiago Alcantara was confirmed as an injury casualty, most Liverpool fans panicked given the Spaniard's superb influence on this current Liverpool side. The Liverpool shape can commonly be predicted with a clear understanding of its structure. Thiago Alcantara has operated as the orchestrator and tempo setter in every game he’s played,...
Portuguese media have been linking Matheus Nunes with a move to Liverpool for most of the transfer window.
Correio da Manha still claim the Reds are preparing to make a move for the 23-year-old while Pedro Almeida posted a tweet today saying Liverpool are willing to pay €40million for the Brazilian-born Portugal international amid interest...
One of the saddest moments for any football supporter, is when their teams summer transfer business is prematurely complete. Now and and again, I’ll type in the name of a player we’ve been linked to, and read only the twitter threads that state a signing is imminent. Anything that offers bad news (often logic)...
After tuning in and watching from my sofa as Liverpool were on the wrong side of a 3-0 thumping at Anfield, I remember the feeling crashing over me:
"We're not a big club anymore."
The date was 29 August 2015, and it was the first time that thought had ever crossed my mind. Here we were,...
Jurgen Klopp is world class in every sense. His personality, his coaching style, his ability to evolve, his adoration of the wonderful support, and his affection towards his players.
It is this last part which can often cause the odd mishap in his spectacular Liverpool reign. His loyalty to certain players is applauded by many,...
Liverpool eked out a point at Craven Cottage against Fulham, with a performance that barely merited it, to open the new Premier League season. The Reds were far away from the level they need to be at, for a side with ambitions such as theirs, and sent out an immediate note of concern to...
Throughout the tightly contested league opener, Salah justified the widespread desire to keep him at the club for years to come. Without the three points, it's harder to relish an impressive display, but an assist and a goal was enough to salvage a point and perhaps catch the imagination of supporters wondering what the...
Alisson Becker - 6.0
Came straight back in after injury, and saw some good early action to ease himself in. Will feel very unlucky to have conceded two with so little clear cut chances coming his way. Was a spectator for the most part.
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 6.0
He seemed unable to command his flank, with Fulham...
It was a frustrating opening to the season for the Reds, as they struggled their way to a 2-2 draw against Fulham. Goals from Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah were enough to scrape a point, but Jurgen Klopp will be incredibly disappointed with a performance that lacked intensity for large periods. But what were...
In the days leading to last seasons opening games, every single pundit had either Chelsea or Manchester City winning the Premier League. The general feeling was that the return of Cristiano Ronaldo would also propel Manchester United into contention, and Liverpool would be eased down the table.
In hindsight, the uneducated views of nearly all...
Former Liverpool and England defender Glen Johnson says the Reds currently have the best attack in the Premier League.
Johnson’s former club head into the new season as second favourites behind Manchester City to win the title despite beating their rivals 3-1 in the Community Shield last weekend.
While that result will count for little when...
As much as we all enjoyed the Manchester City win, the community shield stands as a glorified friendly that has little impact on the season. If Liverpool had lost that game, I would have dismissed all agendas towards its significance. But in victory, I happily welcome the plus points that may come in winning...
Silly season(n)
1: a period (such as late summer) when the mass media often focus on trivial or frivolous matters for lack of major news stories
2: a period marked by frivolous, outlandish, or illogical activity or behaviour.
There’s been a lot of silliness. It’s roughly two months since the Champions League final. A disappointing end on the pitch...
Liverpool started this game with a desire to hunt anyone wearing blue, and the tempo was set from the first whistle. Salah was keen to drag Cancelo into wide and deep water, and the fullback didn’t know when to push on. An early chance was due to a great switch and great running from...
Adrian - 7.5
Came in as a back up to the back up, and had a good performance, all things considered. This is the clubs training ground keeper, and his shot stopping throughout the game was solid. Maybe could have done better for the goal, but still a good outing for the popular Spaniard. Another...
Thiago Alcantara
One of the best midfielders to ever grace the game, and he was on another level once again yesterday. His control of tempo and space is unparalleled, with everyone now willing to work to his pace.
When the game required possession, Thiago reacted. When the game required a game-breaking pass, Thiago reacted....
We all know that the community shield is little more than a glorified friendly, but when two particular sides collide, sometimes it brings a little more needle and attention.
Not since the days of Fergie’s Manchester United & Arsene’s Arsenal, have we seen such a long running duel between two English domestic sides. City are...
I wrote just prior to the RB Leipzig friendly how patience was required for all new players. I was keen to state how pre season is nothing more than the warm up to the season, and how we had to trust the process of integrating new arrivals. The match score (and more to the...
Even though the World Cup Squads are not yet final, many Liverpool players have secured their place in the 2022 World Cup. Sadly, one of the biggest stars did not qualify for the Qatar World Cup, as Mohamed Salah's Egypt failed to get the golden ticket, but stars like Henderson and Diaz are likely...
Liverpool may have missed out on Premier League and Champions League final success, but Jurgen Klopp's team had an outstanding 2021/22 season.
They played every game possible during the season and demonstrated amazing fight, stamina, and courage despite the fact that the matches kept coming.
However, the Reds understand that strengthening and improving their squad is...
