West Ham United 2 Liverpool 0: Player Ratings

Liverpool had a torrid start to 2016 as they produced a performance similar to the one against Watford. The Reds were second best in everything; be it passing, tackling, desire or invention. The level of desperation was quite clearly there to be seen as Dejan Lovren was seen taking free kicks. The lack of...

Running forward and why it seems to be harder than we think

Ask any football fan what they expect from their striker and the first point they will make is that they have to score goals. The best way for strikers to score goals is by making forward runs into the box so that they are closer to the goal when they receive the ball, giving...

Benteke, Goals and Missed Chances

Since his summer move to Liverpool Christian Benteke has been weighed down by the fee The Reds paid Aston Villa. Rightly or wrongly when you sign a striker for £32.5 million you have high expectations. I understand transfer fees don't always represent the quality of a player, the fee is decided by the selling...

Price Cut: Reduced Reds Defeat ASDA-Price-Allardyce

"Playing against a defensive position is just as bad as making love to a tree." - Jorge Valdano A couple of weeks ago I tweeted that, by beating Leicester and Sunderland, Liverpool could finish the year just nine points off first. The response was typical. I was met with groans of, "easier said than done", "this season, you...

Illustrating Liverpool’s Pressing Vs Sunderland

We've been collecting Pressing Stats since 2013 on Anfield Index and Liverpool's performance was a recording breaking one according to the numbers we collect! You can have a listen to the full analysis of the pressing stats on the podcast embedded below. There are also supporting heat map/pressing map combinations below so that you...

Comparing Joel Matip to the Liverpool defence

Schalke player Joel Matip has been linked with a move to Liverpool in the January transfer window in a cut price deal due to his contract coming to an end in June. You'd be forgiven for not being too clued up on Matip, when thinking about Schalke defenders it's usually Benedict Howedes and the now...

Liverpool’s January: Tricky Away Games Kick-Off New Year

With Liverpool finally able to put a fairly disappointing 2015 behind them, we're heading into a new year that's full of promise for Jürgen Klopp's Reds. With a new manager, a new style, and maybe even some new signings (if you believe the rumours), everything's in place for a fantastic start to 2015. Liverpool's January...

Observations from Liverpool’s win against Sunderland

Two consecutive 1-0 victories against Leicester and now Sunderland have seen Liverpool rise up to seventh in the table, level on points with Manchester United. The win on Wednesday night saw similarities to the win on boxing day; an unconvincing 1-0 victory. Benteke bagging the winner but missing a late sitter in both games,...

Marko Grujic and The Significance of Shirt Numbers

Marko Grujic. Up until a couple of weeks ago, the vast majority of Liverpool fans likely wouldn’t have heard of him. Yet now he’s the name on everyone’s lips, as his controversial move to the Reds gets ever closer to being signed, sealed and delivered. I say controversial, not because of the young mans reputation,...

The Klopp Mentality: Making the People Happy

In a football world often described as savage, unrelenting and uncompromising, it’s a pretty good feeling to watch a Jürgen Klopp interview. In such a harsh, embattled landscape where managers all strive to achieve excellence largely through one pre-determined template of how to act in front of the camera and on the touchline, Jürgen...

Time is the Best Remedy for Benteke’s Form

Christian Benteke has been subject to heavy criticism amongst the Liverpool fanbase in recent weeks, with some drawing parallels between his and Andy Carroll's fateful move to Liverpool. Yet in the league, Benteke has made 15 appearances, started on 10 occasions, and scored five, and even chipped in with one assist. In comparison, Luis Suarez...

Liverpool midfield dominance vs Leicester a sign of things to come

Eyes were widened and surprise stated as Liverpool’s lineup for the Leicester City game was confirmed, with Jurgen Klopp abandoning his usual 4-3-2-1 system since joining the Reds and matching up to the Foxes in a tactical sense with a 4-4-2. Pre-game (and, for some unfortunate watchers, in-game) chatter was about how Klopp was affording...

Sinclair and Co – Contracts Costing Liverpool Yet Again

From the moment Jean-Marc Bosman won his case which allowed players to move to clubs in different countries football has been ruled by the players. Players and agents collude with one another looking for that one big payday and it often means their current clubs either lose the player on a free transfer, have to...

Liverpool’s Rebuttal to Leicester’s Pressing/Marking

Taking down the Premier League’s high-flying leaders is no easy feat; Liverpool coming off a winless three game streak never helped the build up to the game either. The talks of the Riyad Mahrez-Jamie Vardy combo ripping through the Reds flooded social media after what a Troy Deeney-Idion Ighalo partnership did in Watford's 3-0 win...

Illustrating Liverpool’s Pressing on Vardy, Mahrez and Kante

Many have stated that Liverpool victory over Leicester City was down to the Foxes having a bad day at the office. I happen to disagree, Liverpool's pressing on the day was very impressive and the illustrations below will help explaining exactly how Liverpool went about their stifling Leicester at Anfield on Boxing Day. The images...

A Look at Lovren & Sakho: Can It Work?

There have been many shouts for Liverpool to make a big dip into the January transfer window and pull out some real quality during Jurgen Klopp’s first attempt to strengthen the team.  Several positions have been cited as “needed” in the immediate future, with a right-sided centre-back on the list for quite some time. But...

Liverpool 1 Leicester 0 – What Did We Learn?

Liverpool's three game run without a win was finally halted as Christian Benteke's goal gave the Reds a 1-0 win over the league leaders Leicester City. In truth, the scoreline could have been much more overwhelming in our favour, but our profligacy in front of goal meant that there were a few nails being bitten...

Liverpool FC 1 Leicester City 0 : Player Ratings

A far better performance from Liverpool ensured that they took all three points on a windy day at Anfield, becoming the first team to keep Leicester from scoring and condemning the foxes to only their second defeat this season. Sunderland await the Redmen next as the fixtures come in one after the other. Simon Mignolet...

Memorable Liverpool FC Boxing Day Games

I'm an advocate of changing the Premier League schedule so clubs have a mini winter break. I think it'll benefit the clubs in Europe and it'll benefit the league in the long term as you won't be blitzing the players and having them play in something silly like a game every 3 days...but, at...

Klopp at Work: Realism, Hope and the Deconstruction of LFC

The great American poet, Eminem, once said in his sweeping, modernist, self-biopic poem song, “Lose Yourself”: “Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity,” And for many Liverpool fans, that’s where we find ourselves this week. After floating in the ethereal clouds of what-could-be, following epic wins versus Chelsea, Man City and Southampton, we're now plummeting...

Liverpool: All I Want For Christmas Is…

Had some feedback recently on AI that articles should be more positive, well after last weekend's exploits being positive is going to be very difficult, after what can only be described as a turgid, error ridden team performance by the team, where in my opinion nobody wearing red came out with any credit. Trying to...

Interview with Serbian Reporter Regarding Liverpool Bound Marko Grujic

With so many questions hanging over the potential Marko Grujic transfer from Red Star Belgrade to Liverpool FC I decided to interview Serbian sports writer Nemenja Grbic (@Nemcy85) to see if he could clear a few things up. This was conducted before Marko himself told the Serbian paper Telegraf he was joining Liverpool earlier...

Quick Fix Klopp

Almost eleven, long weeks have passed (depending on when you are reading this) since the German messiah took over the helm at Liverpool Football Club. The answer to all our problems, the quick fix for Brendan Rodgers' mess and the saviour of Anfield. It all began so well. Performances rose quite a few notches...

Liverpool’s Strongest Team

We all know what Liverpool's strongest team is, well we all like to think we know what Liverpool's strongest team is anyways. If you go through the full squad, including those who are out on loan and those who are currently injured Liverpool have the potential to have one of the strongest starting elevens...

Liverpool FC Team Leaks and Attention Seekers

There are accounts that offer fan opinions, some that provide news and then there are those that are lucky enough to hear about club news before most and...

A New Goalkeeper or Bust for Liverpool?

First choice Liverpool 'keeper misses a game and his understudy fails to perform in his absence. Strong sense of Deja vu here isn't there? December 2014, Brendan Rodgers "indefinitely" drops Simon Mignolet after a string of errors and is replaced by Brad Jones. The Australian comes into the side and aids United as they defeat...

Guard Your Precious Klopp-omania, It’s Worth It

As soon as the third goal went in, I changed channels and since then have not had anything to do with football. Twitter had already been logged off by then; notifications on WhoScored, LiveScore, Fourfourtwo all turned off. I was not having anything to do with football till Saturday. These were not expressions of...

Liverpool Atmosphere: The Force Awakens

Many years ago, In a galaxy far, far away there was a prophecy spoken about a normal one. The prophecy of the normal one was that foretold the coming of a being who would bring balance to the Liverpool fans. Jurgen was the normal one. Anfield was at it's lowest ebb for many years and the force...

Time to go two up-top for Liverpool?

The blueprint for Brendan Rodgers' successful Liverpool side in 2013/14 is being used by a few teams that are surprising the Premier League this season. Two mobile strikers who combine pace and power. It's not a revelation of course, the two man strike force is something we're accustomed to seeing in the Premier League. However...

Return of the Jedi: Ian Rush

"A Jedi Knight? Jeez, I'm out of it for a little while, everyone gets delusions of grandeur!" Deal with it Han Solo, he’s definitely a Jedi! A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, Everton thought they were striking back. They almost did. They had the 1984/85 season where they amassed 90 points and...
