It’s a mixed 26th birthday today for Diogo Jota as he finds himself over in Dubai with the Liverpool squad, but certainly not working to the same timetable. The Portuguese forward isn’t expected back until February at the absolute earliest according to James Pearce’s article and would as a consequence miss at least a...
What’s been said?
Plenty and by a good few in all honesty. His performances for Morocco in Qatar have alerted many to his talents, but major clubs in Europe have been well aware of the Fiorentina midfielders' abilities for some time. His brother and fellow footballer Nordin has spoken to the press this week and...
When we overcame Manchester City on the eve of the Premier League season, that Community Shield victory was supposed to lay the pathway for another successful campaign. The first period of this season proved to be a major disappointment, and though we could see there was needs within this Liverpool squad, no one could...
The ownership drama surrounding Liverpool shows no sign of abating any time soon. It reached fever pitch this week on social media, when The Boston Globe released their exclusive December article. With suggestions that FSG are now leaning towards a partial sale of the club as their preferred option, it may well be the...
So, brave old Gareth Southgate has actually mustered up the courage to play Trent Alexander-Arnold at a World Cup.
Granted, it was when England were cruising to victory over Wales on Tuesday night, but still, from a Liverpool perspective, it was pleasing to see one of the Reds' most gifted players earn some minutes.
Alexander-Arnold's cameo...
Time really flies when you're having fun, and so does the 8 minutes of stoppage time when any country is trailing in the World Cup. The group stage is now all wrapped up in Qatar, and it's certainly been full of surprises. Australia, South Korea, Poland, and Morocco all surprised the world and got...
In the final piece of our five part series around potential replacements for Julian Ward
We finish our journey in Italy and the region of Campania. Naples is a football Mecca, closely associated with Maradona, tourism and a shady underworld culture. In the boardroom of Napoli though, envious eyes are being cast towards a sporting...
With 12 months remaining on a players contract, it can often represent a key moment in any players career. I recently produced a list of midfielders that would enter into their final contracted year next summer, and now I’ll be looking at the potential attacking targets that may just interest the Reds' new recruitment...
Steve Heighway has retired from coaching. It’s hard to believe he’s 75. His greatness should not be underestimated.
He had a big impact on my family. The decision was taken before the 1971 FA Cup Final that the child my mother was carrying would be named after the first player to score in the big...
In the fourth of our five part series around potential Julian Ward replacements we cast our eye over to Andalusia and the province of Seville. The reputation of their Sporting Director transcends La Liga and if there were any possibility for Liverpool to tempt the ultimate ‘transfer fixer’, you’d suspect it would be one...
With the World Cup now in full swing, there will be various names touted as players the Reds should sign. With the recent news that our recruitment department will soon be reshaped, it just adds to the on going saga of new ownership and how the club will operate in a few months time....
The opening phase of the 2022 World Cup is almost over and there have already been some shocks among the more predictable results. The tournament has not been too bad so far – and the best thing is that no Liverpool players have picked up any injuries to derail their seasons.
The World Cup odds...
In the third of our five part series (https://anfieldindex.com/53170/potential-ward-replacements-paul-mitchell.html) we look at potential replacements for Julian Ward, who will be leaving the club as sporting director this summer. Our third instalment sees us discuss a man whose currently working in the game, having retired from the same role at Borussia Dortmund. An old friend...
Time flies by. Each team in Qatar has already played two matches, and some fates have already been decided. Qatar and Canada crashed out early while England and Brazil are now guaranteed a spot in the knockout stages. Ghana bested South Korea in a Match of the Tournament contender, while the US held England...

Tyler Morton, Leighton Clarkson, Rhys Williams, Conor Bradley, Owen Beck, James Balagizi, Paul Glatzel, Max Woltman, Fidel O'Rourke, Sepp Van Den Berg, Billy Koumetio
Marcelo Pitaluga (Macclesfield)
A bright sail of a season for Pitaluga hit a serious iceberg on Tuesday, when he injured and withdrawn from the 6oth...
Jurgen Klopp will no doubt be using the World Cup break to plot Liverpool’s resurgence after a disappointing start to the 2022/23 Premier League season. The Reds went into the campaign expected to once again compete with Manchester City for the title. Many fans were using their free bets - or online casino gratis...
With the January transfer window looming on the horizon, you could be forgiven for focusing elsewhere with the recent news coming out of Anfield. Don’t worry though, we’ve got you covered! We caught up with Bundesliga expert Ronan Murphy (FootballTransfers and Sonypicturessportsnetwork.com) to expire all the links to Germany.
Jude Bellingham! How do you see...
Will there ever be another quiet day at Liverpool this season? It seems impossible to imagine right now, off the back of the announcement that Julian Ward (Sporting Director) and Dr Ian Graham (Director of Research) will be leaving the club at the end of this season. Against the backdrop of FSG putting the...
To look back at the history of Liverpool Football Club, it will always produce a high volume of celebrated names. The future legends of this era will one day become mythical figures spoken of to our children and grandchildren, but this past week requires more attention to the name of one of the clubs'...
Former Liverpool and England striker Emile Heskey believes Jude Bellingham has the talent to become a global superstar over the next few years.
The Borussia Dortmund midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to Liverpool after repeatedly showcasing his quality for club and country over the past couple of seasons.
The 19-year-old has been a...
In our five-part series, we take a look at potential candidates to replace Julian Ward this summer as sporting director. Following on from Paul Mitchell our second candidate sees us stay in Europe, but move to the landlocked nation of Austria and the famous Red Bull set-up in Salzburg. It would be an ambitious...
I wrote a piece earlier in the season in relation to Joe Gomez. It was centred around the notable talents this England international possesses, and how his former place in the starting line up could be regained, especially with the injuries to Ibou & Matip. You can see the link here, but unfortunately for...
Every Current & Former Liverpool Player at this World Cup
Much like every other World Cup in recent history, Liverpool has a large contingent of current and former players booting up for their countries. From former stars to fringe players, this World Cup has them all.
If you’re a big fan of Premier League betting, there...
There’s always one attribute for elite players that can get ignored - availability. Consistency is the obvious one that gets mentioned and often used as an argument against footballers when debating their level. Liverpool fans could see both those charges levied against a couple of their centre backs right now and it would be...
There have been endless reasons for Liverpool's struggles this season, but their midfield has stood out as a major problem from the moment the campaign got underway.
For a long time, the middle of the park was the Reds' most solid and underrated area of the pitch, with the headlines invariably made by everyone else...
The first 5 days of the World Cup are now complete, and there's been no lack of excitement. We've seen Qatar embarrassed in their opening match, both members of the 2014 final beaten by Asian teams, and a Keylor Navas performance so bad that Alvaro Morata couldn't make him look good. Drama has been...
There's been a lot of focus on the January transfer window in the last couple of weeks, with fans demanding that Liverpool sign pretty much any man under the age of 23 who's ever laced up a pair of boots. Moses Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Jude Bellingham, Cody Gakpo, and Konrad Laimer are all names...
With England having successfully dispatched Iran 6-2 in their opening game, it gave the nation a spirited start to an otherwise strange World Cup tournament. The winter break seems bizarre, the one love arm band debate is on going, but in between we saw the three lions turn out a pretty ruthless and efficient...
David Johnson always suffered by comparison with the man who replaced him. Over the years dozens of conversations about the great 1978-79 team have included the line, “Imagine if Rushie would have been a couple of years older.”
Johnson’s contribution to the club has too often been overlooked. He was an international-class performer and that...
With the breaking news that Julian Ward is set to step down from his position as Sporting Director at the end of the season, Liverpool were left with three major positions set to be vacant by the end of this campaign. A new club doctor and director of research (Dr Ian Graham also confirmed...
