Liverpool 1 Wolves 2: Player Ratings

Out of the title race in January. Out of EFL Cup in January Out of FA Cup in January. This month needs to get binned. This is how the Reds fared Loris Karius (5) - Poor on the first goal. Needed to be more commanding and gather the ball when it was floated into the six-yard box. Made an...

Liverpool: 2017. Don’t Give Up

Well, this is not good. Good is the thing it is not. On a good/bad ratio the numbers are stacked in the latter camp. The opening seven games of 2017 have seen the Reds win one, draw three and lose three. Only at Home Park did Liverpool leave the pitch a goal in credit and that was...

Is Carragher Correct About Sturridge?

The proliferation of former Liverpool players in the punditry business is downright odd. As analysts go, they range from the thoroughly dour and old-school likes of Dean Saunders and Ronnie Whelan to the occasionally insightful and earnest likes of Graeme Souness, to the hopelessly anodyne likes of Cockney clothes-horse, Jamie Redknapp. This is to...

Gerrard Absolutely Delighted With Klopp

In a genuinely chilling development, it appears as though the world of Trumpian politics is beginning to bleed into the football sphere. Following his team's aggregate victory in the EFL Cup semi-final last night, an increasingly creepy looking Jose Mourinho refused to acknowledge the reality that Manchester United had just lost the second leg 2-1. Sporting...

Wounded Liverpool Welcome Wolves to Anfield | FA Cup 4th Round Preview

To say that Liverpool are wounded is an understatement. Talks of a crisis may yet be premature, but there are certainly chinks in the armour that Jurgen Klopp needs to rectify as soon as he possibly can. They welcome a Wolverhampton Wanderers side who have blown hot and cold recently. They beat Stoke in the...

Are the Wheels Coming Off Liverpool’s Season?

Defeat at home to Swansea was tough to take, a real bitter pill to swallow. January has been a poor month for Liverpool, both from a result and performance perspective. I’ve been quite philosophical about things this year, not wanting to get too carried away by defeats or victories. I’ve long been of the...

Can Ojo Break Into The Liverpool First Team?

There are two ways to go from here, as we see it at Latest News. We can either treat each fresh hell the season brings as a cause for bleak despondency or greet further setbacks with dismissive snorts and just, well, get on with it. There is no correct way of engaging with disappointment...

Where To Now For Klopp And Liverpool?

Normally, Latest News is your one-stop-shop for positivity and hopeful analysis of the efforts of Liverpool Football Club. This morning, however, in the immediate wake of what was a fairly limp and apathetic capitulation to an average Southampton side, there is little of a constructive nature to be said. It was a horror show...

Liverpool Are Lacking Nastiness & Winners In Their Ranks

In Liverpool's heartbreaking 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace in 2014, Philippe Coutinho had a great chance to haul down Yannick Bolasie in his own half with the score at 3-1. He chose not to, Bolasie broke away and Dwight Gayle eventually made it 3-2. It was a perfect example of the Reds failing to be...

Why it would be a mistake to let Emre Can go

The Liverpool Echo hosted a Q&A on Tuesday and James Pearce revealed that Emre Can might be leaving Liverpool in the summer. “I wouldn’t say Emre Can is definitely off but his future is certainly up in the air, “He has been stalling over a new contract and clearly believes he’s worth more than Liverpool are...

January is Liverpool’s Nightmare

Last night, January 25th, ended with yet another loss for Liverpool after Shane Long scored for Southampton in stoppage time. This marks the third loss out of seven matches this January for the Reds, with three draws and only one victory over Plymouth Argyle on 18th this month. This marks only 14.29% wins in...

Observations from Liverpool’s Defeat to Southampton

Liverpool's horrid start to 2017 continued with yet another defeat. The Reds have now won just one of their seven matches since the turn of the year, missing out on a return to Wembley after a frustrating night against a weakened Southampton at Anfield. The visitors were without the injured Virgil Van Dijk and...

Can Origi And Liverpool Reach Wembley?

Trophies and Liverpool FC used to be like television's Ant and Dec - you never saw one without the other. In recent years, however, in order for this somewhat strained analogy to work, the two Geordie chuckle goblins would have to be tragically separated in the jungle because the Anfield club is no longer synonymous with...

Stuttering Liverpool must take inspiration from winning run in 2013/14

That Swansea defeat hurt a lot - everything about it. To see such a talented team play with such a lack of belief and creativity was tough to take, especially when their chances of title glory were still alive. It ensured Liverpool's rocky start to the year continued, Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Hull widened their lead...

Can Coutinho Contract Revitalize Liverpool?

In a world where Latest News woke blearily to jauntily separatist tweets from the actual President of the United States about a regrettable building project, it is fair to say that any upbeat revelations would be most eagerly embraced. How serendipitous then, that the next story we encountered was the official announcement of Phillipe...

Liverpool’s Defensive failures against Swansea can’t be repeated

“Nearly everything around this goal was wrong(the Swansea winner), “It started with a long ball, which should not have been a surprise as they played many of them. Our reaction was not good, we strolled back, we had just scored to make it 2-2 and we couldn’t switch back into a defensive mode, “We were too...

Lack of attacking structure sees Liverpool stumble against Swansea

The period from the end of January to the end of the season tends to be the most important in the footballing calendar. Prior to the Christmas period you can afford to allow your competitors to stretch a lead over you whether you are in contention for the title, the European places or even...

VIDEO: Nina Kauser Reflects on Liverpool’s loss to Swansea

The Nina Kauser show on YouTube is back! For my fourth Anfield Index TV show I decided to discuss Liverpool's poor performance at home to Swansea City as the Swans shocked the Anfield faithful and lost their unbeaten record at Anfield. It was tough to do the post match podcast after that performance and equally as difficult to...

Can Klopp & Liverpool Turn The Season Around?

Nobody likes a crisis meeting. The clue, you see, is in the name. The trepidation and angst before, the recriminations during and the fallout after such gatherings, all combine to make the experience pretty unpleasant. However, quite often that very unpleasantness is absolutely necessary. The nettle must be grasped, the bull grabbed by the...

Why Liverpool Need to Fix their Achilles Heel

The defeat against Swansea. Really, the article could be summed up in a tweet, with plenty of characters to spare. The defeat at the weekend to a spirited and resolute Swansea side encapsulated everything wrong with Liverpool’s team over the last six or seven seasons. It hasn’t been fixed yet, and it needs to be...

Liverpool vs Southampton Preview | EFL Cup Semi-Final 2nd Leg

Liverpool host Southampton on Wednesday night, as they search to overturn a one goal deficit after a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final. The fixture is of huge importance to both sides, with a trip to Wembley up for grabs for the winner. The competition is the best opportunity for...

Henderson: Clyne Leads By Example

If you're reading this then you've gotten past the irritation with the immediate past long enough to contemplate the future, and for that, I thank you. The life of the daily columnist is a lonely one and the comfort of your virtual presence warms the cold dying heart of Latest News just enough to brave...

Will Transfer Inactivity Cost Liverpool?

As we've all uneasily borne witness to the declining form and results of the Reds, the inclination of many has been to engage in the inevitable search for blame. People love to blame, don't they? It's an ugly trait but a common one. The aftermath of Saturday's embarrassing defeat was a veritable jamboree of...

A Missing Link For Liverpool

Lots has been made this season over the transformation of Adam Lallana into the finest English footballer currently within the Premier League. Like many at Anfield, Lallana hasn’t been without his critics since joining from Southampton, but he has overcome them spectacularly, fitting seamlessly into Jurgen Klopp’s high intensity style of football. The German’s admiration...

If You Can’t Support Liverpool When They Lose or Draw, Then Don’t Bother

Utterly embarrassing. Shameful. Disgraceful. No, I'm not talking about the Liverpool performance against Swansea, I'm actually talking about the supporters' reaction to it. So-called "supporters" of Liverpool FC, were absolutely raging, fuming with disbelief - criticising the players, the manager, the board, absolutely anyone that they could attach some 'blame' to. "Klopp doesn't know what he's doing." "Klopp out!" "Must sell Clyne,...

Lucas Leiva: The Intangible Benefits of Liverpool’s Most Experienced Player

I’m pleased it was Lucas. For all the talk of Jurgen’s ambitious new shavers coming in to kick start the FA Cup campaign, it took the oldest head in red to beat his man at the near post and thunder in from close range. A goal from the other end of the Woodburn/Leeds scale. Old...

Observations from Liverpool’s loss at home to Swansea

Swansea, bottom of the Premier League at kick-off, rocked up at Anfield, where we have been unbeaten at all season, and took all three points. Those aren't the words I expected to be writing a few hours ago, and especially not after seeing the line-up. Philippe Coutinho returned and Roberto Firmino was restored to a...

Liverpool 2 Swansea 3: Player Ratings

An abject performance from Liverpool saw them lose at home for the first time in 25 games. The players should have a proper look at themselves on the back of this defeat. This is how badly the Reds fared. Simon Mignolet (5) - Mignolet had an enjoyable first-half as Swansea were content to sit back. The...

Clyne & Henderson In, Matip Out

Hello, good evening and welcome to a brief and final Latest News, of the week, where absolutely nothing is wrong. What could be wrong? That television? It was always broken, what of it? Yes, that computer monitor too. The radio too, yeah. What are you implying? Everything's fine. WE SAID IT'S FINE. Football is supposed to...

Lallana Trumps Them All Says Molby

Today, as the people of the United States prepare for the inauguration of a dangerously unhinged vulgarian and the good folk of Britain brace themselves before going through an exit door marked 'Are You Absolutely Sure?' the rest of the world seems to be increasingly riven by conflict and chaos. 2017: it's going great. Amidst...
