Stop the Criticism and Guesswork – Judge Klopp in May and Beyond

When you do someone an almighty favour and get very little thanks for it, it’s one of the most frustrating things you can encounter in day-to-day life. Without proclaiming him to be bigger than Liverpool Football Club - he most certainly isn’t - part of Jurgen Klopp must be feeling a little like that currently. Well,...

How Klopp’s Liverpool are set-up to beat Park The Bus Teams

There's been a lot of talk recently surrounding Liverpool's continuous struggles when facing teams who park the bus following on from the 2-0 defeat to Burnley which saw the Reds dominate possession but fail to carve out any clear cut chances. The Clarets are one of a handful of teams within the Premier League who look to...

Klopp Earned The Benefit Of The Doubt

After a long, gruesome two months, the transfer window has officially been shut, the last grain of sand in the hourglass has fallen and it’s certain that Liverpool Football Club can not, and will not bolster their squad despite a series of minor injury scares to certain key players, added by one who seemed...

Georginio Wijnaldum: Slow Starter or Solid Signing?

Georginio Wijnaldum was signed from a relegated Newcastle United this summer in a transfer that was, to most, unexpected. The Netherlands international, who signed for Newcastle only last summer from Eredevisie outfit PSV, carried with him a reputation for drifting in and out of games a long with a price tag exceeding the 20...

Missed Opportunities for Liverpool in the Transfer Window

I know many will be thinking after reading that title. "You cynical bastard. The transfer window has only just shut and you're already putting a negative spin on it. Passing judgement before Klopp's even had the chance to field his strongest XI". And to those who are thinking that - you're probably right. It may be...

Jordan Henderson – Lack Of Ability

Jordan Henderson has been a heavily discussed topic amongst Liverpool fans for the past year or so, there is probably a 50-50 split between fans who think he isn’t good enough and those, who are still behind him as a player and give him the support he probably deserves. I would like to mention...

Sturridge needs to adapt to fit in with LFC’s Fluid Attack

"Of course it is more difficult for me to play wide. I'm a centre-forward. In the modern day game you have to try and be flexible but everyone knows my best position," After Liverpool's 5-0 victory over Burton, Daniel Sturridge made his feelings pretty clear. He toiled playing in a slightly wider role in the...

To La-Love or To La-Loath Lallana

Our fan base loves a debate. The defeat against Burnley last weekend exposed the chasm that exists between our fanbase as Twitter became ablaze with fans fighting over numerous topics including Klopp's tactics, FSG transfer strategy and whether any of our players are any good at anything. But there is one debate that has raged...

Sadio Is Worth The Mane

Long before Sadio Mane officially signed for Liverpool Football Club, fans were furious with the fact that the club turned once again to Southampton for another player. His transfer fee had left supporters disgruntled and convinced that the money spent on the Senegalese would have been better off used on a healthy list of...

Spurs 1 Liverpool 1 – Pressing Stats Analysis

Liverpool's third Premier League game of the season ended in a frustrating draw as the Reds rued missed chances whilst being on top in the first half and bemoaned poor defending once again which cost them the three points at White Hart Lane. As always the Anfield Index Under Pressure team analysed the game covering at...

Liverpool’s Defence: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

When the 2015-16 season came to an end, there was disappointment for Liverpool fans as the Reds failed to make it into European competition for the following season but it was shadowed by an anticipation for what the summer would bring. Jurgen Klopp is renowned for bringing exciting talent for very little money and...

James Milner Can’t be the Long-Term Left-Back at LFC

"Milly can play there, especially in the style of play we think we should play. Full-back is not only a winger in the offence situations. It’s a really good position for Milly." Jurgen Klopp's comments in the post match Spurs press conference didn't go down too well with fans who had hoped the German manager...

Chinese Investment – An opportunity too good to miss for LFC?

Back in December of 2015, Manchester City announced that CFC, a Chinese group had purchased a 13% stake in MCFC for £265m. This marked the point at which Manchester City had truly become a rival to Manchester United in financial terms. How is this relevant to Liverpool? We need only cast our minds back...

Klopp’s Reluctance To Play a Striker May Cost Liverpool

The Reds have now played their three Premier League games before the International break. It's been a mixed bag. In the opening game against Arsenal they put on a 20 minute second half masterclass which completely blew the home side away as Klopp's side won a seven goal thriller. Next up was the trip...

Tottenham 1 – 1 Liverpool | Tactical Analysis

The early stages of the league season have been inconsistent at best for Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool side. The first match away at Arsenal was a game of high emotion and an even higher tempo as both sides struggled to find any defensive cohesion. Liverpool still took the three points to face Burnley...

Observations from Liverpool’s draw at Spurs

Three Premier League games now with three different results and three contrasting performances. Liverpool go into the international break with 4 points after a win at Arsenal, a loss at Burnley and a draw at Spurs. Unlike the two previous games Liverpool controlled the tempo of the match and looked dominant. Spurs boss Mauricio...

Spurs 1 Liverpool 1: Player Ratings

The pre-game predictions of a lot of fans came true as Spurs and Liverpool played out yet another draw, the third in a row. Liverpool could have won the game, but for a tight call from the linesman ruling out a goal. This is how the Reds fared. Simon Mignolet (7) - Made a couple of...

Jurgen Klopp’s System May Have No Place for Daniel Sturridge

For the first time in over a decade, Liverpool boast a vast array of striking options.   Gone are the days where the likes of David N'gog, Iago Aspas or Andriy Voronin would be forced to deputise in the absence of Liverpool's first choice striker - currently, Liverpool have four strikers capable of leading...

Capitulations – Why are Liverpool so prone to them?

Sixty-three minutes into the game, and Liverpool were 4-1 up at the Emirates having just blitzed the Arsenal defence to pieces in a typical high octane, all guns blazing, Jürgen Klopp manner. Yet less than a minute later, Arsenal had grabbed a goal back and were suddenly back in contention. Whilst this could be attributed...

August Liverpool Transfer Rumours

Who Can Join and Leave Liverpool Football Club This Year? The recent defeat by Burnley raised a lot of questions to the efficiency of training and transfer policies of the Liverpool’s responsible executives. The demands for changes and the necessity of a new midfield rose to a crescendo. However, a solid win over Burton...

Why Klopp may favour Origi, Mane & Firmino as the Attacking Trio

First things first, I know it was only Burton Albion, I know they're currently sat 18th in the Championship and I know they've conceded nine goals in just the four league games this season. I'm by no means implying, announcing or suggesting that Liverpool going to win the league because of how easy it...

Liverpool Supporters Need To Take A Deep Breath!

It's the first game of the season. Away to Arsenal. Liverpool have a terrible record at the Emirates. Just one win in eight attempts in the league since Arsenal moved from Highbury. But this isn't any old Liverpool. This is Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. And Liverpool completely wipe the floor with Arsenal. Over the space of 20 breath...

Spurs v Liverpool: Key Battles

The demons of the Burnley defeat are still around, but Liverpool did well in avoiding a potential banana skin in the EFL Cup against Burton with a resounding win. It gets a lot tougher for the Reds over the weekend, with a visit to White Hart Lane, a ground on which we've seen some crazy...

Burton Albion v Liverpool: Remembrance Of Things Past

As with most things, I’d like to begin with referencing Marcel Proust. I suppose we all do it. His epic ‘Remembrance of Things Past’ begins with the narrator nibbling away at a piece of madeleine cake he’d dunked in his tea. The taste fires a maelstrom of nostalgia and before too long  he’s reeling...

Tottenham vs Liverpool Preview: Reds aim to bounce back!

After a midweek pick-me-up against Burton Albion on Tuesday evening, Liverpool get stuck back into Premier League action on Saturday with their third league game of the season, away at Tottenham Hotspur. It's Liverpool's third straight away game before the international break, and it's after Saturday's game that fans can look forward to Anfield's expanded...

Klopp’s strategy can leave full-backs vulnerable

Jurgen Klopp's pressing style of play and high-attacking philosophy can leave Liverpool's full-back in a vulnerable position if the whole team does not execute the strategy perfectly. Alberto Moreno has come under huge criticism recently due to a string of mistakes in Liverpool's opening fixture against Arsenal, following on from a number of poor performances...

Taking Risks Key to Liverpool’s Success This Season

Liverpool’s start to their 2016/17 Premier League campaign has, with pinpoint accuracy, summed up what fans have come to expect from Jurgen Klopp’s reds – inconsistency. A breath-taking attacking performance that was enough to see off top four rivals Arsenal was followed by a toothless display away at Burley and, unfortunately, it is from...

Benefits of a Versatile Squad for Liverpool

Upon the announcement of Georginio Wijnaldum from Newcastle United last month, Jurgen Klopp has praised the Dutchman's ability to play in a number of positions on the pitch. Taking a step back and looking at our squad, you can just see exactly how any player within the team could easily move to a different...

Observations from Liverpool’s win against Burton

Jurgen Klopp named an almost first-choice Liverpool XI for the trip to Burton. After the defeat to Burnley it was a chance for the Reds to boost their confidence, build up fitness, familiarise themselves with Klopp's demands and score a few goals ahead of the big game away to Spurs this weekend. It was...

Why Liverpool Need to Buy a Midfielder

Burnley dispatched Liverpool with relative ease this weekend. No matter what the stats or the media say a 2-0 scoreline didn't flatter them. Liverpool may have had 81% of the possession but Burnley, to use a Brendan Rodgers phrase "dictated the space". Liverpool never really looked like scoring and Burnley looked as though it was a...
