Kolo Toure: Never Have I Ever

Steven Gerrard leaving Liverpool a year ago was the epitome of sadness for Liverpool fans. We’ve lost a legend, a leader, and a player who could guide academy graduates or incoming players to settle in Merseyside and show them what it means exactly to play for Liverpool Football Club. Plenty of names have left...

Liverpool’s Zielinski Puzzle

The Piotr Zielinski and Liverpool FC saga has been a bit like a high school romance. They even went down the clichéd route of trying to make the other one jealous. Liverpool reportedly cooled their interest in Zielinski and started to look at Gladbach's Mahmoud Dahoud whereas Zielinski and his agent talked about interest...

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Liverpool Supporters

1) The casual supporter 2) IDK supporter - spews incorrect/false facts 3) ITK supporter - knows facts but executes them poorly 4) The knowledgeable supporter 5) The elite supporter 1) The casual supporter These are your "fence sitters", the fans that watch the odd Liverpool match. They often miss massive blocks of games and go full-kit-wanker when cup finals come around...

Kop Still Silent For Daniel Sturridge

Liverpool fans can be called as biased as others wish to. But Daniel Sturridge is the best English striker at the moment, probably in the past decade. Any fan, neutral or supports another club who are reading this can throw Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy’s goals & assists tally at me any day you...

DoF Fantasy Series Part 5: How I’d spend £100m at Liverpool

Liverpool’s ridiculously named “transfer committee” has been a hot topic in recent years. Some think they epitomise everything that’s wrong with the club’s transfer strategy, but maybe their detractors are yet to realise that the spine of Klopp’s new-look side is made up of “committee” signings. Emre Can, Roberto Firmino, Divock Origi, and Mamadou Sakho were...

Sadio Mane – The man to balance the Liverpool attack

Sadio Mane has been the topic of much debate amongst Liverpool fans since news that the Reds were yet again set to raid Southampton became public knowledge. For all the positives surrounding the player and what he'd offer to the side fans, myself included, couldn't overlook two things; he's a Southampton player and the...

Jürgen Klopp and the Parallels of his Past

Jürgen Klopp is not at Liverpool for a quick fix and there is a probably a high proportion of fans that need to understand that. Klopp is not a Jose Mourinho – a short term, high spend, career manager looking for the next club to add to his CV. That’s not to degrade Mourinho’s...

DoF Fantasy Series Part 4: Premier League Restricted

We’ve all been screaming, sighing, boiling, enraged, agonized, infuriated, and outraged at the thought of buying Premier League proven players rather than vying for the rising talents of Europe, and rightly so, because there’s not such thing as Premier League proven players when statistically there’s been no difference between the performance of a player...

Expect Second-Season Magic From Roberto Firmino

Luis Suarez. Thierry Henry. Dennis Bergkamp. Didier Drogba. What do these illustrious names all have in common? They all struggled to set the world alight in their first season in the Premier League, among endless other truly brilliant footballers. Given the impatient nature of the modern football supporter, they were written off as a “waste of...

Sadio Mane: Already Labelled

Okay. I’ve almost succumbed to the fact that we’re going in for another Southampton player in Sadio Mane. Which would make him the fifth player Liverpool has signed from the south west club in 3 years, costing us another hefty £30m, which would coincidentally make him Liverpool Football Club’s third most expensive signing, with Roberto...

Liverpool’s Legacy Needs New Paint

Legacy. Heritage. History. For an enterprise that had reached the zenith of excellence, conquering all more than once, yesteryear glories can be very heavy on its shoulders. It is almost suffocating for the same enterprise to rise above cold dark times. The sense of entitlement endeared through our legacy, our heritage, our history, can only...

Nathaniel Clyne – Liverpool’s Most Underated Player?

There's a strange narrative surrounding Nathaniel Clyne, a divide amongst Liverpool supporters. Some argue he's the finest right-back in the country, others doubt his contribution and want him to be replaced. For a player of such stability and consistency it amazes me that he draws such negative attention. So I thought best to explore...

Mixing It Up – Klopp’s coaching and Liverpool’s Cash

The fume has always been a constant feature of LFC’s transfer window in the Twitter era. Failing to land a target and LFC targeting underwhelming players always set LFC’s” twittersphere” ablaze for days. Also a constant feature is the penchant of journalists and agents to link every man who calls football his profession to...

Trust Klopp to Sign the Right Players

We're all bad liars. No matter how much we say "we trust Klopp" as things stand we don't, not wholeheartedly anyway, and repeating it won't make it any more truthful. The sad thing is it's through no fault of his own. The enigmatic German hasn't even had a summer transfer window in charge of Liverpool...

Being Insanely Sane In This Transfer Window

Ever since the arrival of Loris Karius, Liverpool social media has been The Joker, a narcissistic person who just strives on causing pain and fear into everyone. For a month now, Liverpool Football Club has transformed itself into a mime that just went dark, and not one person has a clue on which player...

Do FSG need to leave for Liverpool to Evolve?

The credit Fenway Sports Group built up with the Liverpool fans when saving the club from going into administration has all but ran out. There only so much slack you can cut them for bringing the club back from the dead before it turns into resentment due to always having to look for excuses...

Don’t Get Down over Transfer Talk

Wimbledon. The British Grand Prix. Glastonbury. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. All much loved and well established summer staples. For Liverpool fans, online transfer speculation can be added to that list. Once football seasons end (and occasionally before they draw to their usual disappointing conclusion for supporters of the Reds), fans’ attention diverts immediately to transfer...

Sturridge’s New Creative Role?

Daniel Sturridge has been up against it since his move to Chelsea. He's had to prove he isn't a money grabber after leaving Manchester City to join Chelsea. He's had to prove he doesn't have a 'poor attitude'. He's had to prove to the masses that he isn't lazy; and that accusation in itself is...

Emre Can and Emre Could Become Liverpool’s Talisman

Emre Can is arguably Liverpool’s biggest bargain in the past six years, second only to Philippe Coutinho. who was bought at a measly 8.5 million pounds, who now is easily worth 6-8 times that amount.The versatile central midfielder’s first season at Liverpool under Brendan Rodgers, saw him shift to multiple positions from centre-half, full-back,...

Lallana in Limbo?

One of the key reasons Nivea linked up with Liverpool. Maybe. An integral part of the #Handsomepool movement the club is currently in the clutches of. Interview extraordinaire. Since signing in the Summer of 2014 Adam Lallana has managed to establish a cult like following amongst the fan base more due to his off...

DoF Fantasy Series Part 3: How I’d spend £100m at Liverpool

Today I came across an idea - or rather stole it from the AnfieldIndex guys, in particular it was an article written by @SamMcGuire90 which you can read here. Basically he was told to think like a Director of Football or Sports Director - or whatever name you want to use for that exact position - and concentrate...

Thirty-Eight Cup Finals For Liverpool Next Season

I’ve had a week off and it’s been lovely. I got to go back to Liverpool for a few days, see some mates and do some research for my next book, which involved me standing on a wet beach on the Wirral. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while as it’s not...

Liverpool’s 1992 FA Cup run

A Simpler Time Looking ahead to next season I wanted to write about a time when the FA Cup still meant a great deal to all clubs and managers. Defeat to Sevilla last month ensured that Liverpool’s focus is going to be domestically fixated next term. With no European football to contend with surely Klopp will...

Media and Agents Exploiting the Liverpool Brand

Countless Twitter debates with fans of opposing teams centre around the idea that Liverpool are no longer a big club. Historically the giant of English football, the Reds took their domestic form into Europe, conquered it five times, and have the actual trophy to prove it. The clubs C.V would stand up to examination...

DoF Fantasy Series Part 2: How I’d spend £100m at Liverpool

This piece is based on the idea proposed by one of the Anfield Index editors Dan Rhodes, where the challenge is to assemble a Liverpool XI I would be happy to put forth on the opening day of the Premier League Season 2016-17. We are allowed to spend up to 100 million Pounds towards building...

Daniel Agger – The Great Dane

When the news broke last week that Daniel Agger was going to retire aged just 31, I was devastated. Here stands a player, who was a personal hero of mine, so cruelly robbed of what could have been the finest of careers, due to the failings of his body. It's a narrative of the...

The end of Liverpool?

Mourinho. Guardiola. Conte. Wenger. Klopp. If there was an Expendables movie for football managers, it would surely include all five of these esteemed and widely respected managers, all of whom have a history of success at the top level. Yet whilst the movement of two of the most impressive managers of recent years, in Mourinho...

Daniel Sturridge’s Timely Reminder to Liverpool Fans

As I write this, there are 75 days to go for the transfer window to shut, and there are Liverpool fans already writing off 2016-17 for us, citing our lack of transfer activity. That might just be acceptable though, when you consider that there is a considerable section of the fans who want the club...

Roberto Firmino: Sexy Hair, Can Score from Anywhere

It was around June 24th, I was on holiday and went to Dubai to visit my mate. I arrived the night before and we ended staying up late because we’ve not seen each other for a few years and are both avid Liverpool fans. We immediately talked about the poor season that just finished...

Liverpool Football Club; Values and Traditions

Before I start everything, I’d like to say that I am not an expert in economics or business, nor am I old enough to become an expert into Liverpool’s history. But what I am is a passionate supporter who has grown to understand Liverpool Football Club, what it means to me and others alike. Liverpool...
