Anfield, Villarreal and Liverpool comebacks

Liverpool’s Europa League semi-final first leg was less party and more party poopers, where losing an injury time goal felt like a kick in the guts. Disappointing? Yes. End of the world? No. Some of the response it invoked on good old social media was disproportionate to say the least. Have some people forgotten...

Swansea vs Liverpool Preview | Team News & Predictions

Jurgen Klopp’s side travel to the Liberty on Sunday afternoon to face Francesco Guidolin’s side. The Reds will be looking for a win to help build momentum ahead of their second leg in the Europa League semi-final against Villarreal on Thursday night. Liverpool currently lie 7th in the Premier League, four points behind fifth placed West...

Hillsborough Part Three: The Cover Up

‘If it wasn’t for the Scousers we could stand.’ In January 1990, a mere eight months after the Hillsborough disaster, Lord Justice Taylor published his findings in what became known as The Taylor Report. The two headlines, as it were, were plain and simple. Firstly, the disaster was caused by a lack of police control...

The Blame Game – A Tactical look at the Villarreal loss

The blame game is funny. Liverpool lose and it's almost like some fans go out of their way to criticise a player they dislike even if their only at 10% fault for the goal that lost the Reds the match. Narrow minded doesn't do it justice. Like a bull locked on to a red...

Hillsborough Part 2: Saturday 15th April 1989

Saturday 15th April 1989 was a sunny day. I was living in a Halls of Residence cinderblock corridor of a room in South East London at the time, just about to complete my first year at Poly. I couldn’t afford the return train fare to Sheffield it being late in the term and what with my...

Liverpool Need To Convert Leads into Victories – It’s Not Easy

If it happens once you can pass it off as being normal. You're told that It happens to everybody and not to worry about it. You nod in agreement at the reassurance being offered. If the same problem continuously happens then you have two choices; bury your head, pretend it's normal and carry on nodding...

Observations from Liverpool’s loss to Villarreal

It was almost the perfect European away leg. Jurgen Klopp sent his Reds out with a game plan and they were so close to executing it to full effect. It was a disciplined Liverpool side. It wasn't a boxing match like the Dortmund tie were both teams went at it blow for blow. This was...

Hillsborough Part 1: The Lead Up To April 1989

Sometimes we take things for granted. Being a Liverpool fan means that you naturally adopt certain causes and prejudices. For example, there’s an inbuilt dislike of Everton and Man United. This has been with us for ages and even when there’s the occasional ceasefire it’s always there. Then there’s the more modern rivalry (that, I’ll...

Liverpool’s Progress Under Jurgen Klopp

It was a time of conflict, of separation and fissures growing ever fractured by the day. If ever there were an embodiment of how a sinking ship can simply initiate a cold depression, it was Liverpool under Brendan Rodgers. Steven Gerrard was a club legend. Yet even his influence, his special goals, the undying embers...

Illustrating Liverpool’s Pressing in the last three games

We've been collecting Pressing Stats since 2013 on Anfield Index and after watching Liverpool's last three games and then collecting the pressing stats it's safe to say that they were a mixed bag! There were some surprising performances - many will be shocked to hear that Joe Allen was key in pressing in all three...

Match Preview: Villarreal vs Liverpool

Liverpool will face Villarreal on Thursday evening in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final. The Reds will hope to bring back a positive result for the home time at Anfield and progress to the final of the competition. Liverpool are just three games away from ending their season with European silverware, with Thursday’s...

Sakho, Cheats, Logic and Bias

Mamadou Sakho divides opinion. The Frenchman has done so ever since his move from Paris Saint-Germain in the Summer of 2013. His first season with the Reds was hit and miss. He shared the left centre-back berth with Daniel Agger. Both players struggled with injuries so it was a sort of timeshare role. Many fans...

When We All Climb a Hill…

I think the last time I wrote anything about Hillsborough was on Dec 19th, 2012. A cold and drizzly day but I don’t remember feeling either of them on my skin. Walking away from the Royal Courts of Justice my only thought was one of hope. The old coroner’s inquests had just been quashed...

Villarreal Vs. Liverpool | In-Depth Tactical Preview

Based in the tiny City of Vila-Real in the Comunitat Valenciana on the East Coast of Spain, Villarreal have arguably been the 21st century’s biggest football over-achievers. With a stadium that could fit half the city’s population, the club captivated the football world back in 2006 when they reached the Champions League semi-final with...

The Short-Term Alternatives to Mamadou Sakho

The events of the last three days have scarred the entire club and the entire fan base. Mamadou Sakho was well on his way to attaining cult status on the Kop. On Saturday, when it emerged that he had failed a drugs test in the aftermath of the Europa League game at Old Trafford,...

Cut Sensational Daniel Sturridge Some Slack

Imagine having a striker with a better goal record than Robbie Fowler. Once you’ve conjured up this image, just think for a second about having a centre-forward who could find the back of the net more reliably than Michael Owen or Fernando Torres. But Liverpool need not dream because they have a striker of the...

Liverpool and Sakho Prepare for UEFA’s Decision

Sidelined defender Mamadou Sakho is facing a nervous 24 hours after UEFA gave Liverpool notification on Friday that the central defender had tested positive for a banned substance after the Europa League fixture versus Manchester United on March 17th. A decision, by Europe’s governing body, is set to be announced on Tuesday (April 26th). Whilst the exact...

Moreno: Why Does He Split Opinion So Much?

After another significant bottle job by this very fragile Liverpool team against Newcastle United, there is definitely reasons to be concerned about our defence. Once again from leading 2-0 at half time, this side managed to surrender by the full-time whistle, and one player seemed to have a game of two halves. Alberto Moreno summed...

The Resurgence of Our Magician: Philippe Coutinho

Since Jurgen Klopp took over there seemed to be a raging debate about whether Philippe Coutinho would make the cut under our German manager. Did he have the energy and the enthusiasm to keep up with the dynamic style of play that our boss wanted to employ? We had all seen evidence of fantastic...

I Just Can’t Celebrate Everton’s Decline

Liverpool are magic, Everton are tragic, tra la la la, tra la la la… Those words rained down from the Kop last Wednesday as Everton limped to a humiliating defeat at the hands of Liverpool. Four – nil, could have been eight, should have been really. And yet as a Liverpool fan watching on, it was...

Observations from Liverpool’s disappointing draw with Newcastle

Rafa was back at Anfield and the jovial Liverpool crowd had lots to cheer about in the first half. Goals from Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana saw the Reds go in at half-time two goals to the good. However, the Jekyll and Hyde performances in the Premier League continued as Liverpool once again ceded...

Liverpool 2 Newcastle United 2: Player Ratings

Liverpool threw away another 2 points. Liverpool had another goal keeping error. The winning momentum has been halted now as Liverpool get into their biggest game of the season. This is how the Reds fared. Simon Mignolet (5) - Had a first half very much similar to the second half against Everton with literally nothing to do....

Guess Who’s Back …Back Again: Liverpool FC

No, the title isn't autobiographical; although admittedly, it has been quite a while since my last piece for Anfield Index. What am I on about then? Well, I think it's pretty obvious; I'm sure you'll agree, it's time to talk about the resurgence of Liverpool FC. Days before the first leg of the Borussia Dortmund...

The Everton Rivalry is Turning Sour

Football needs rivalry. It adds an extra element to occasion. Winning is incentive enough but bragging rights and pride being up for grabs just intensifies it. As a Liverpool fan whenever the fixtures are released at the start of the season I instinctively look for the matches against Manchester United and Everton. The feelings towards...

Is It Time To Talk Top Four, Again?

Boom. Boss, tha. Sehr Gut. Etc. That was alright, wasn’t it? A 4-0 win over the Ev, after a 4-3 win against Dortmund. It’s all glossed over a lovely Sunday afternoon kick around against Stoke, as we stuck yet another four goals past the Potters – a team Liverpool have struggled against ever since Tony...

Fan Media vs Mainstream Media – The Shaky Head Journalist

It's not often you get chance to compare football  with wrestling without it being a stretch but now feels appropriate. The mid 90's saw the emergence of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), a wrestling company intent on taking on the already established World Wrestling Federation (WWF now known as WWE). Ted Turner, founder of CNN,...

Joel Matip – From Schalke, With Love

So, Who Have We Got? Joel Matip’s profile makes positive reading for Liverpool fans.  His demeanour reminds me of Lucas Leiva, a smile never too far from the surface.  But we should not let that fool us.  Matip is by no means a soft touch on the pitch.  He puts his body on the line...

Observations from Liverpool’s Destruction of Everton

Ridiculous, isn't it? This feel-good factor that Jurgen Klopp has managed to drum up around Liverpool seemed a million miles away at the beginning of the season. Another win. Another four goals. Another feather in the managers cap as he watched over his Reds side beat Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund and...

Player Ratings from a memorable derby – Liverpool 4 Everton 0

There cannot be too many better feelings than the one after Liverpool have just beaten Everton. Tonight, it was not just a win. It was a sound thrashing of an abject opposition as the Reds were rampant in taking home the bragging rights from the derby and some more. Here is how I thought each...

The Daniel Sturridge Cult – Are They Too Protective?

Don't be alarmed but Daniel Sturridge has a cult following. These people are next level groupies. They wear Daniel Sturridge shaped rose tinted glasses and sleep in homemade Daniel Sturridge dancing man silhouette pyjamas. It's not reached Jonestown levels yet but it can't be far off. A few weeks ago I naively posted on Twitter...
