Liverpool's squad has been put to the best over the past couple of weeks. Injuries to as many as 13 players has lead to Reds boss Jurgen Klopp recalling the likes of Danny Ward, Ryan Kent, Sheyi Ojo and Tiago Ilori from their respected loans. It was the decision of ex Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers...

Jekyll and Hyde Reds grab a draw against Arsenal

Liverpool fans witnessed the good, the bad and the ugly in Wednesday night's 3-3 draw with Arsenal at Anfield. A Roberto Firmino and Emre Can inspired first-half saw the Reds take the lead twice before being pegged back by defensive errors. After Arsenal took the lead early in the second-half due to a well...

Emre Can – Vorsprung Durch Technik

If you could design the perfect central midfielder, they'd be tall, athletic, with raw power and pace. Then look at Emre Can and tell me he doesn't fit the model?! He, by design, is the perfect midfielder. His attributes are made to dominate football matches in the Premier League and go on to become...

Liverpool FC: To Buy Or Not To Buy?

The January transfer window is open, Liverpool have thirteen first team players currently out injured, it's time for FSG to splash the cash and show Jürgen Klopp that they mean business at Liverpool. Back him the way they backed Brendan Rodgers. After all Liverpool are still currently in contention for the prized fourth Champions...

The Sturridge Replacement – Michy Batshuayi

It's not often you hear that a Premier League club, one that regularly qualifies for Europe, is prepared to sell arguably their best player for as little as £25 million when the player has three and a half years remaining on their current deal. Stories came out over the weekend that Liverpool are set...

Danny Ward – Future Liverpool FC Goalkeeper?

A turbulent festive season has seen many youngsters recalled, with Jürgen Klopp recently stating that the most important area’s he was looking into being Centre Back (Tiago Ilori) and Offensive Winger (Sheyi Ojo). However, after the recent game versus Exeter City, a new position became highlighted to Klopp, Goalkeeper, Adam Bogdan, who after an...

Caulker loan: An underwhelming but necessary stopgap

On Tuesday morning Liverpool acted with rare speed to tie up the loan move of Steven Caulker for the rest of the season. Caulker arrives from his parent club, Queen’s Park Rangers, having spent the first half of the season at Southampton. The timing of this signing means that Caulker should be available to...

Liverpool’s Wishlist: Mario Götze & Two Other Attacking Targets

Amidst a few troubles as of late for Jürgen Klopp’s redmen (that phrase in itself gives this writer more motivation for this article than any article written under Brendan Rodgers), the need for goals ranks highest of all. Well, perhaps second to injuries, but at least goals are something that can be altered to...

Klopp’s Kids

Every time Liverpool step on to the pitch I always try and learn something. For instance some of the things I learned under Brendan Rodgers were, I learned that he didn't have a clue about managing a team who didn't have a twenty goal a season striker playing for him or what a defence...

Alexandre Lacazette – A Season-Defining Transfer Rumour

Linked with moves to Ligue 1 Champions PSG, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool, Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette was possibly the hottest property of the 2015 summer. The chairman of Lyon, Jean-Michel Aulas, came out in May and seemed to imply if a club were to prise his star asset away from...

Selling Sturridge Is Simply Crazy!

The crazy month that is the January transfer window is in full swing and once again Liverpool are at the heart of it all.

Who is Reds’ Target Sam Byram? Interview With a Leeds Fan

Sturridge, Coutinho and Firmino – It can’t come soon enough

It's been a bit of a rollercoaster season for Liverpool fans already and we're only just in January. From the lows of seeing a Brendan Rodgers Liverpool side humbled at home to West Ham to the highs of Jurgen Klopp's Redmen thumping Manchester City 4-1 at the Etihad we're now finding some middle grounding....

Rise of “Die Maschine”: Consistency, Leadership, and Emre Can

I remember it well. The final game of a legend, of a man that had exemplified what it meant to wear the Red on Red kit for a generation and embodied the spirit and mystique of Liverpool Football Club for a certain, young American fan discovering this wild world of English football for the...

Observations from the 2-2 draw with Exeter City

The kids are alright. Tonight's draw was a commentators dream. The magic of the FA Cup. League 2 Exeter City earned themselves a replay at Anfield after coming away with a 2-2 draw against Liverpool. The narrative will be that the plucky underdog managed to come away from this match against the Premier League giants...

Leicester’s Ben Chilwell linked with Liverpool move

With Liverpool being linked to both Leicester's Ben Chilwell and Lorient's Raphael Gueirrero it's becoming clear that the club feel they need to strengthen their left-back position. It's Leicester City's Chilwell who seems to be the most likely candidate to join with rumours of a move persisting ever since the full-back went on loan...

Liverpool Hamstrung by Injuries

Another day goes by and another player is struck down with an injury.  This time it is Jordan Ibe, and surprise surprise, yet another hamstring injury.  Latest timescale for Ibe is a month on the sidelines. Liverpool currently have 13 first team players on the sidelines, seven of those with hamstring-related injuries, Jurgen Klopp has...

Inter’s Ranocchia to Shore Up the Liverpool Defence?

With the injury crisis the club are currently involved in it's not a surprise that many media outlets all over the world linking any player with functional legs with the club.

The Europa League could salvage Liverpool’s season

It's not something you want to hear having spent over £300 million over the past few seasons but with the January window now open fans are discussing what areas of the team still need strengthening. There seems to be polls on Twitter on a daily basis and the alarming thing is a different area...

The De-Evolution of Philippe Coutinho

I remember when we signed Philippe Coutinho from Inter Milan. I hadn't seen much of him other than a few games at Espanyol and the odd Inter game, one of which being their 4-3 victory over Spurs when Gareth Bale grabbed a hattrick. It was the Welshman that grabbed the headlines but I was...

Lallana: A Force Awoken

Since Klopp’s arrival, it's been a tale of ups and downs at Liverpool. Unconvincing performances in the Europa League were forgotten as qualification into the knock-out stages was secured and impressive thrashings of Southampton, Manchester City and Chelsea showcased Liverpool’s potential quality. However, disappointing results against Watford, Crystal Palace, Newcastle and West Ham in...

Benteke is Worse Than Feared – A Terrible Targetman Too

Popular opinion isn’t exactly on Christian Benteke’s side; an ESPN article gave him a 2/10 against West Ham, which doesn’t really require much context. A 2/10 is a polite version of 1/10. It means you have failed at every task you would be typically asked to do in your position, but the qualifier is...

Observations from Liverpool’s win at Stoke

In the grand scheme of things, it's half-time in the Capital One Cup semi-final. A depleted Liverpool side will now take a 1-0 lead to Anfield for the second leg in a fortnight, after a battling display against December's form side, Stoke City. On the whole it wasn't a pretty performance. The Reds started off...

Liverpool Linked With ‘The Serbian Robben’ Filip Kostic

Last week the Serbian website Mozzart Sport linked Liverpool with a move for VFB Stuggart winger Filip Kostic. The 23 year old is only in his second season playing for the Bundesliga side but has been steadily improving ever since joining them. Signed from FC Groningen, who ply their trade in the Eredivisie, the winger cost...

January is Boom or Bust for Liverpool

Just one month ago I wrote on this parish about my excitement for the festive period. It wasn't just the thought of excessive drinking and mounds of mince pies that made me giddy, but the possibility of Liverpool building some momentum. The Reds had just come off the back of three successive victories and I...

Klopp Left with Three Options as Benteke Pressure Mounts

Another week, another mixed set of results, another chorus of grumbling from Liverpool fans over their £32.5m striker. Saturday’s 2-0 loss at Upton Park provided the latest round of evidence in the trial of Benteke, a cloudy affair in which almost everyone employed by the club, from scouts, to former managers, to current owners,...

Liverpool’s Forgotten Man: Tiago Ilori

Liverpool fans got another piece of good news at the start of this current transfer window when it was reported that Aston Villa are thinking about terminating the loan deal they have in place for Liverpool's forgotten man Tiago Ilori. For me personally this is great news as when his loan to Aston Villa...

Illustrating Liverpool’s Pressing Vs West Ham United

We've been collecting Pressing Stats since 2013 on Anfield Index and after two record breaking performances from Liverpool I expected a heavy drop in this loss at Upton Park, I was wrong! Liverpool's pressing effort was actually very close to the game against Leicester City. We analyse the pressing stats and on-ball stats on our podcast...

Liverpool’s Biggest Hurdle in 2016 is Impatience

It’s easy to look at the United fans with their radically pre-emptive Mourinho scarves, and their Sharpie covered kitchen-towl signs, and to forget that Liverpool fans can be pretty stupid too. Jurgen Klopp alluded to one element of the idiocy, or at least childish impatience, in Reds fans, when he said of Liverpool’s inconsistent...

Liverpool FC’s Daytrippers and Anfield’s Atmosphere

They say that the atmosphere is a thing of the past these days at Anfield. That the famous twelfth man is no more. That fans in the terraces can no longer be bothered to sing or cheer the team on when their backs are against the wall. That Anfield is a silent stadium and...
