Liverpool’s Defence: The Lost Art Of Keeping A Clean Sheet

…And Liverpool’s right centre back conundrum. Ever since the halcyon days of Jamie Carragher’s partnerships with Sami Hyypia and Daniel Agger Liverpool fans haven’t witnessed a truly balance centre half pairing at Anfield. We’ve seen Skrtel, Kolo and a selection of left sided centre halves trying to fill the void at right centre back. The club’s...

Just how Important to the balance of the team is Emre Can?

Before the transfer window even opened Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp implied he wanted the bulk of incoming players to be signed before the club flew out to America for their tour. So far the Reds have brought in Loris Karius, Joel Matip, Marko Grujic (although he was signed in January), Sadio Mane Ragnar Klavan...

Kevin Stewart: Midfield Destroyer?

For months now, perhaps even years, we analyse our team’s strength and weaknesses and form an opinion on what type of player we should target in the upcoming transfer window to bolster our squad, and there was always a constant figure in the equation, a defensive midfielder. Someone who is just a mad bastard in...

The definitive Fantasy Premier League guide to Liverpool

The most omnipresent of all the biases that affect fantasy football managers is their support for their own club. The temptation to load up your team with the maximum number of players from your club, or to optimistically, naively, hope for upturns in form is an affliction that only the most stubbornly ambitious managers overcome. With...

Jordan Amavi to Solve the Left-Back Problem?

French media outlet Le Parisien broke the news on Wednesday evening that Liverpool were reportedly interested in bringing Aston Villa's left-back Jordan Amavi to Anfield. The highly thought of French u21 international only featured on 10 occasions for VIlla following on from his £9 million move from Nice before an ACL tear put a...

Liverpool FC: Eyes On The Prize?

Even though Liverpool might not be able to attract star names in the ilk of Götze, Mkhitaryan and more, Liverpool should be aiming for nothing less than top prize this season. Leicester’s success last season might well have been a flash in the pan, however, the success of the likes of Spurs, Southampton and West...

Jon Flanagan: Does He Deserve A Chance?

All fans have their favourites and also those players they feel are not up to the playing standards to play for the club they support passionately. One of those players who divides opinion amongst fans is Liverpool born full-back Jon Flanagan. Flanagan, 23, has only recently returned to playing following an injury to his left...

Why Gini Wijnaldum to Liverpool Makes Sense

It's a link that not many saw coming. Newcastle's Gini Wijnaldum is the surprise target for Liverpool as the Reds look to move on from their failed pursuits for Gladbach's Mahmoud Dahoud and Udinese's Piotr Zielinski. Both had been linked heavily with Liverpool for months now but with very little movement in negotiations it...

Full Faith in Football under FSG

Football fans are fickle. Liverpool fans seem even more so. Even as I type this out at half-time of our friendly against Wigan, there has been one peak example. Whilst receiving a square ball about 6 yards out from his net, Karius slipped and almost allowed a tap in for a Wigan striker. He...

Do the fans have faith in Liverpool under Klopp?

Jürgen Klopp has recently signed a new six-year contract extension despite joining the club less than a year ago. The club’s owners described it as ‘irresponsible’ not to offer him a long-term contract. The current deal lasts until 2022 and it will certainly be interesting if Klopp serves the full length of his contract....

The “Marquee” Signing Conundrum

As a Liverpool fan who uses Twitter as a medium to get most news about the club, life has not been great. The sheer agony amongst our fans over the lack of a big-money signing is astounding. These are the same guys who were licking their lips at us having signed Jurgen Klopp in October,...

A look at Ragnar Klavan – Strengths and Weaknesses

A sluggish transfer window picked up pace on Sunday evening when all the reliable journalists; Paul Joyce, Ben Smith and Tony Barrett, broke the news that Liverpool hoped to wrap up deals for Newcastle's Gini Wijnaldum and Augsburg's Ragner Klavan within the next week. Anfield Index's very own Alax Barilaro wrote an informative piece...

Liverpool FC goes abroad: details of the Reds excited United States tour

This year Liverpool FC is going to America: Home of the brave and land of the free! This is really exciting for all American fans as they may have the chance to meet some of the players. For all of us not so lucky to be in America during their pre-season tour, we will...

Liverpool’s Wingless Wonders

England's 1966 all conquering World Cup Winners (I am Welsh this hurts still), had a side that were classed as wingless wonders due to their unconventional lack of width within the side. Moving on fifty years, tactics and formations have changed, but looking at the likely players and the side's formation, Liverpool also have,...

James Milner must prove doubters wrong again next season

When Mamadou Sakho claimed Liverpool’s number 3 squad number on Monday morning, curious Liverpool fans glancing down the squad list were perhaps most disappointed when reminded about the incumbent of one shirt in particular – James Milner and the number 7. The previous holder of that shirt had been the magical Luis Suarez, one of...

Ragnar Klavan: The Stop Gap

Liverpool Football Club is in dire need of a central defender, but that’s been the case for a few years now. A few months ago, I was originally satisfied with our current depth. We had Sakho, Lovren, new boy Joel Matip, then there’s Joe Gomez who’d make his return after a long spell out last...

Georginio Wijnaldum: Klopp’s New Weapon?

As Jürgen Klopp continues to assemble a litany of players for his foray into the 2016/17 Premier League, and Liverpool fans continue to freak out and overreact to even the tiniest bit of news, one player has burst onto the public sphere of Liverpool transfers without much of a prior whisper. Instead, Reds fans...

Danny Ings could be Klopp’s Dark Horse

Daniel Sturridge is the dancing man and Divock Origi is Big Div. Both have a cult-like following amongst Liverpool fans. They're put on a pedestal and they're fiercely protected. Like a proud Mother saying no girl is good enough for her son, Reds fans respond similarly when other strikers are mentioned. One such striker is...

2016/2017 – The Season of Sturridge?

Love him or loathe him we as Liverpool fans have to accept that Daniel Sturridge's Liverpool career has been a bit of an unsolved mystery. The mystery revolves around whether the year Liverpool finished as runners up in the Premier League and Sturridge hit over 20 goals was an anomaly. As bizarre as it sounds...

Ben Woodburn: Liverpool’s Rising Talent

Ben Woodburn has been making headlines recently after great cameos for Liverpool in their first two pre-season games against Tranmere Rovers and Fleetwood Town. The 16-year old (yes, he’s just 16) Welshman has produced a fine performance in both games and has surprised many Liverpool fans who don’t regularly follow the club’s academy teams....

Are Formations that Important to Klopp?

The picture below was posted on Social Media recently. It's of Jurgen Klopp holding a tactics board while talking to the squad during preseason. It's a picture that has generated a lot of debate on Twitter with fans talking about how the team lined up on the board. Depending on how you view it will...

FSG Tying Klopp Down Is A Statement Of Intent

Liverpool Football Club, once a European powerhouse, found itself out of depth when they resurfaced in the Champions League two seasons ago, facing Real Madrid in the group stage, eventually failing to secure a spot in the knockout stages. The past six or so years, bar a magnificent 13/14 campaign, was a period to forget...

Can the Attack Fire Liverpool into the Top 4?

The Liverpool Echo, more specifically James Pearce, recently published an article informing Liverpool fans that Jurgen Klopp no longer had an interest in Bayern Munich's Mario Gotze and he was happy with his attacking options moving forward into the new season. Given the Reds were looking to bring in Monaco's Kylian Mbappe and Rennes' Ousmane...

Assessing Liverpool’s Academy

As a new season is fast approaching, our fan base will once again, witness a few players from our academy who will make appearances during the preseason or better, graduate and move on to Melwood. While Toni Gomes is a name that’s been floating around recently do to a potential professional contract being awarded,...

Klopp’s Adding Experience to the Liverpool Squad

Football blurs logic. In most walks of life when you say somebody is experienced at a job it means they have firsthand experience in that role, it doesn't mean they're just getting on age wise. Yet in football there seems to be a misconception that when a player in their late 20's/early 30's joins a...

Liverpool FC: The Need for a Balanced Midfield

Jurgen Klopp's favoured formation appears to be 4-2-3-1, so with this attacking format the two central midfielders have a huge role to play in respect of providing cover for the defence. This piece looks at if currently Liverpool have the players to provide that balance and if not, what do they require, to try...

Jürgen Klopp – No Room For Sentimentality

With the transfer window open and in full swing, it's a time when Liverpool supporters completely lose all their inhabitations and start offering up players to the footballing gods, in hope of the gift of a positive season ahead. To the fanbase, most players are ripe to be the sacrificial lamb, very few are...

Mamadou Sakho: President of the Liverpool Country

As things stand, Mamadou Sakho is without a doubt, the most loved player of Liverpool Football Club. Since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2013, he has stolen the hearts of Liverpool fans with his amusing, humble personality. I remember once he hopped into a stand filled with Liverpool fans, and acted...

How Liverpool Will Make Your Dreams Come True

One would think that a manager boasting two Bundesliga titles, a German Cup and a UEFA Champions League final appearance, could take a mediocre team like Liverpool to the next level. But after failing to qualify for the Champions League following a heartbreaking loss to Sevilla (despite taking the lead in the first half),...

Jurgen Klopp, Fans, and the Transfer Window Fume

The synchronization of pistons that makes an engine run smoothly, percussion which provides the soul of music, a dance performance completely in sync with a song, or a football team consisting of eleven individuals playing a game in perfect coordination. That’s chemistry. A complex emotional or psychological interaction between people is an element vital...
