An Ulsterman’s View of our Ulsterman Brendan Rodgers

As Brendan Rodgers approaches 3 years at the helm of Liverpool Football Club, he has given fans a rollercoaster of a ride. From “nearly” winning the league last season, to the depths of the August to December period this season. Then the hope of a decent run crashed with back to back defeats to...

The Liverpool Captaincy Contenders: Who Should Be Captain?

The Oxford dictionary gives the definition of a leader as: The person who leads or commands a group, organisation, or country. Now, for the first time in what seems like an eternity, Liverpool Football Club needs a new leader. With Steven Gerrard leaving this summer all eyes will firmly be on manager Brendan Rodgers when it comes to...

Midfielder Week Special: Javier Mascherano – The Mad Dog

There's a great saying that sums up Javier Mascherano: "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog that counts". This sentence really sums the Argentine warrior up because at 5ft and 8.5 inches tall, he isn't your archetypal defensive midfield powerhouse a la...

Xabi Alonso: The Pass Master

We thought it may never happen again. But last weekend we all got to watch Xabi Alonso play at Anfield one last time, as he took to the pitch for Liverpool's all-star charity game and inevitably,  received a standing ovation. Labelled as "the passmaster", the Spaniard arrived at Liverpool young and relatively unknown, developing under...

Liverpool’s General from Grêmio – Lucas Leiva

Arriving at Liverpool Football Club in 2007 on the back of an award winning season at Brazilian side Grêmio, the box-to-box midfielder whose forward runs were as footloose as his shoulder-length hair, was signed by Rafa Bentiez to compliment an already impressive midfield contingent. Lucas Leiva was the second Brazilian to play for Liverpool, after...

Didi Hamann – The German Rock

What a player. Didi Hamann was a world-class defensive midfielder. Imagine if we could select him for Liverpool now? He’d slot straight into Lucas’ position and provide that all-important protection for the back three – in turn, providing all the ammunition to go forward in attack. The current Liverpool side have all the firepower to attack...

The Jordan Henderson Dilemma

Jordan Henderson's Liverpool career is a real Cinderella story. From being offered as a makeweight in the Clint Dempsey deal to becoming the captain in waiting within a matter of three seasons. It just goes to show how things change in football so quickly. Add to the fact he's now got an impressive beard...

Just Get Raheem Sterling Tied Down!

The word 'Legend' is banded around a lot in football. The Steven Gerrard all-star game was billed to be past Liverpool 'legends' playing in one game. The truth is though they aren't legends, not club legends anyway. This attitude breeds mediocrity. The fans of Liverpool Football Club shouldn't be using International success as a way...

Are we Gunner beat Arsenal?

Now that the dust has settled from the Manchester United debacle and we've endured the hysteria of a Lionel Kane inspired International break, attention turns back to the Arsenal game. As a kid, I hated Arsenal. George Graham and his drab 1-0 functional football, not to mention them winning the title at Anfield in injury time...

Jordan Henderson – The unsung hero

When you think of the greatest Liverpool midfielders, Jordan Henderson’s name doesn’t roll off your tongue. ‘Xabi Alonso, Steven Gerrard, Kenny Dalglish, Jordan Henderson…’ it just doesn’t sound quite right. However, the England international wears the armband on a regular basis for the Reds now and to be a captain of Liverpool Football Club;...

Light the Fuse on the Liverpool Attack

The Liverpool attack, light the fuse. "Yo back up now and give a brother room, the fuse is lit and I'm about to go boom. Mercy mercy mercy me, but on the stage pitch I'm free" The current season has left myself and many fans feeling frustrated. A poor start left us playing catch up and...

The Joyful Return of the Prodigal Son: Fernando Torres

When the news came out that an All Star Charity game was to be played at Anfield in aid of multiple Liverpool based foundations, I was overjoyed that there would be legends of the game gracing Anfield. As the names of the footballers began trickling in, the interest grew. Amongst the many names was the...

Steven Gerrard and The New Generation

Since making his debut in 98, Steven Gerrard has won admiration and praise throughout the footballing world. In his prime, he terrorised defences with his unstoppable runs through midfield and his wonderful strike of the ball. We all know the player our captain was and we know the player he has become. The Gerrard...

Liverpool Target Moi Gomez Shining Brightly at Villareal

Villarreal's free-flowing midfield dynamo, Moi Gomez, has been an ever present in what so far has been an excellent campaign for the Yellow Submarines. Statistically, his season averages of roughly one key pass per game, one dribble pg and one shot pg don't jump out at you. His four goals and four assists do, though....

Wing-Back to The Future – Liverpool’s Lateral Thinking

José Enrique and Glen Johnson were the starting full-backs in Liverpool’s final Champions League game at home to FC Basel. Since then the traditional full-back position has been disregarded, and the...

Raheem Sterling – The Likeability Factor

Is it there? With a putrid tinge of Louis Walsh here, and one of the many tiresomely predictable X Factor clichés that quite frankly, as with the programme, should have been binned years ago, the question is there to be answered. Raheem Sterling’s ongoing contract situation has led to a substantial amount of criticism on...

Sharpening the Flat 3-4-3 into a Diamond | Liverpool FC

“All good things must come to an end.” That’s in reference to Liverpool’s 13-game unbeaten streak in 2015 of course, which began with a loss to fierce rivals Manchester United and also ended in a similar fashion against the same opposition within the space of a little over 3 months. The feat started after Brendan...

Top 4 or Not? How does it change Liverpool’s Summer plans?

The loss to United dented our chances of finishing in the top 4, but just how detrimental would not finishing in the top 4 be to our summer plans? Yes, we all want Champions League football, but given the first half of the season it was always going to be a big ask and I'd...

Passion or Hatred from Steven Gerrard? Or a mix of both?

Times are  changing. I'm sure we all remember the days when Liverpool vs United was won by who wanted it more. Passion fuelled by hatred. The game that felt it was always one tackle away from anarchy. The fans created a hostile atmosphere that the players fed off. Tackles cheered like goals. It's no wonder...

An Open Letter To Brendan Rodgers

Dear Brendan, Let me start by saying I like you as the manager of my beloved football club. I admire you for giving young players with high potential a chance to flourish and I have to admit after watching you for 3 years now, you’ve turned some youngsters into better players. Last season you almost won us...

Pro Evolution II – Pro Brendan Rodgers

There wasn’t meant to be a part two, but in this earlier, speculative look at where Liverpool might go in the coming months and years, the Liverpool manager barely got a mention. Since then, Brendan Rodgers has been the name on everyone’s lips, on everyone’s blog, in every newspaper, and on all the podcasts, thanks...

The Local vs Global Divide – My Frustration as a Liverpool Fan

"Your opinion doesn't matter. Go and support your local team". This statement, or at least a variation of it delivering the same bone-headed message, is one that makes my blood boil. The first part of it, in all honesty, is a fair comment when taken at face value. To many people your opinion actually doesn't...

Liverpool v Manchester United | Premier League Preview

I’ve heard some crazy things in my time as a football fan.  Some say that Real Madrid v. Barcelona is the best match-up in the world.  From the same country, the Madrid derby has been brought into consideration in recent years.  Others will mention the Milan derby, the London derbies.  Even the Merseyside derby...

A summer of prudence for Liverpool FC

Here on Anfield Index, Sam McGuire has written an excellent piece on how perfectly suited Kevin De Bruyne would be for Liverpool. I would like to echo those sentiments: he would an exciting and potentially fantastic acquisition. Unfortunately though, I think that De Bruyne, like Alexandre Lacazette, will not be heading to Anfield this summer....

Liverpool’s 3-4-3 – Just how ‘radical’ is it?

Liverpool’s ‘new’ 3-4-2-1 formation has been widely acclaimed by pundits, fans and the media alike. Brendan Rodgers has been, rightly, praised for his brave decision to make such a ‘radical’ change at such an important stage in Liverpool’s season. There have been a number of articles focusing on the new formation; recently the excellent...

Tactically Outclassing Louis Van Gaal

It feels like we've been saying this for weeks now, but Sunday is a must win. Not only will it propel us into the top 4, it also dents the challenge of a rival. Not just any rival though; the rival. United. For the first time in a while a top 4 finish would...

Brendan Rodgers could learn a thing or two from Vito Corleone

Brendan Rodgers has been doing a great job in the second half of the season. He’s managed to get the season going and a place for top four finish is still within Liverpool’s grasp. A task that seemed so unachievable for the reds back in December. Granted, Signor Rodgers has had an impressive stint...

Kevin De Bruyne – Ideal For Liverpool FC and Brendan Rodgers?

"Don't try to compare us to another bad little fad I'm the Mac and I'm bad. Give you something that you never had. I'll make ya jump (jump) wiggle and shake your rump 'Cos I'll be kicking the flavour that makes you wanna jump" So said the 'hip hop' duo Kriss Kross way back in...

Where art thou Flanagan?

Poor Jon Flanagan. The young Scouse lad came through the competitive ranks at the Liverpool academy, broke into the first team when the opportunity arose and made his mark. But since his injury, the team has evolved and the traditional back four has, for now, been all but abandoned by Brendan Rodgers. The full-back made...
