Semi-Final Win Points to More Pressing Issues for Klopp

Liverpool players, former stars and fans worldwide were ecstatic following the Reds’ progression to the League Cup Final last night. It’s a chance of silverware for Klopp’s men, something that has long been missing at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp, though, will be far from happy with last night’s showing. It was one of the worst Liverpool...

Why Liverpool Should Pay Over the Odds for Alex Teixeira

Value for money. Paying over the odds. Cheaper alternatives. It's quite common now for fans, and the media, to believe they know the value of players and what their club should be spending when they they're looking to bring somebody in. The latest player to be put under a microscope is Shahktar Donetsk's Alex Teixeira. Plenty...

Observations From the Win That Sends Us to Wembley!

"Man City or Everton, it doesn't matter. We'll win the Cup." - Jurgen Klopp Our manager is fanning the flames. He's bringing back a trophy in his debut season. It wasn't particularly pretty and it won't be remembered as a spectacle but Liverpool once again dug deep to take something away from a disappointing performance. It's been...

James Milner, Time To Say Goodbye?

James Milner, seasoned England international,  Premier League winner, FA Cup winner, League Cup winner. These are all impressive stats from Liverpool's most high profile signing from last summer. And I'm sure there were some fans out there who thought the same as me when he was announced as one of Brendan Rodgers first summer...

Daniel Sturridge; is he worth the wait?

Following the most recent setback in Daniel Sturridge's recovery plan, social media was flooded with angry Liverpool fans, fuming about the 'obscene wages we pay to a professional hospital patient', venting their obvious frustrations at both the club, for not pushing upwards in the league, and at Sturridge who suffered his tenth injury whilst...

Lallana and Milner: The End of Vanilla

If Saturday's game took-place in a coal mine, the canary would have exploded. Lallana and Milner's lack of goals and assists has seen them recently labelled "useless", "awful", "overrated" and "beige." They had become representative of the modern Liverpool: bland, boring and mid-table. From about as much promise as a tub of Wall's - this Vanilla-Pod-Duo could only manage so much...

Dissecting Liverpool’s Defending Against Norwich City

The dust has settled on what the scoreline suggests will be looked back upon as a Premier League classic. But, in truth, Liverpool's game against Norwich ended 5-4 only because of some horrible defending, especially from the visitors. As I will try to show by the end of this piece, none of the four goals...

One For The Future, Brad Smith

Who would have thought that four games into his Liverpool career, young Australian left-back Brad Smith would have two assists and a goal for Liverpool. After initially rejecting a new contract with Liverpool last year, Smith's Liverpool career has gone from strength to strength. He is one of the academy players who has been...

Klopp’s Infectious Passion is Gaining Liverpool Points

In an era where managers are supposed to be cool figureheads on the touchline, it's a welcome change to see Jurgen Klopp sticking two fingers up to what's expected and just letting his emotions rule his head. He's once again showing why he is 'The Normal One', because what did every Liverpool fan do...

Observations from Liverpool’s crazy win at Norwich

How do you describe that game? 100% value for money based on the entertainment provided, but I'm sure a few hearts skipped a few beats as Norwich City seemed to have rescued a point in injury time only to have it snatched away from them by Adam Lallana, as the Reds came away from...

Norwich 4 Liverpool FC 5: Player Ratings

I am finally sitting down to write to try and rate our players after that stupendously crazy game against Norwich City which oscillated more than a yo-yo would. This is how our beloved Reds did according to me *after I caught my breath back* Simon Mignolet - 5 A nervy afternoon for the keeper as...

No Value for money? The January transfer myth

Unicorns. Myth. Loch Ness Monster. Myth. Bigfoot. Myth. My girlfriend saying she'll only go in one shop. Myth. No value in the January transfer window. Myth. All are spoken about as though they're fact when in reality they're no more than myths. Of course you can find the odd bit of evidence to support these claims, "Sam remember that time...

Liverpool’s Benteke Problem

As many of you are aware (well those of you who follow me on Twitter) I'm not a big fan of Liverpool's Belgian forward Christian Benteke. But at the same time I'm also not a fan of supporters giving him abuse and grief just for the sake of it, jumping in on the bandwagon....

Alex Teixeira – Another Piece of the Brazilian Puzzle

Philippe Coutinho took the Premier League by storm when he first joined Liverpool FC from Inter Milan. Even at a time when the Reds weren’t short of stars, “The Magician” won over the Anfield crowd in stunning fashion with the archetypal Brazilian trickery and his unparalleled vision whilst passing. It took some time, but he...

Half & Half, Bad Tea, and Adam Lallana

I enjoy myself a morning cup of coffee. On the other side of the pond you might fancy yourself a nice cup of tea. Every morning I go through the same routine. Medium roast, slightly bold coffee, with a splash of milk creamer. It tastes good and gets my day going. I love a...

Alex Teixeira – Perfect for Klopp’s Liverpool?

Liverpool fans can now exhale. Shane Long was a smokescreen. Liverpool have reportedly bid an initial £24 million for Shakhtar Donetsk captain Alex Teixeira. This is a welcomed surprised with many journalists reporting earlier in the transfer window that Liverpool wouldn't be too active and Jurgen Klopp was waiting for the summer window to make...

What is Liverpool’s best centre-back pairing when everyone is fit?

Injuries have blitzed the Liverpool squad since Jurgen Klopp was appointed as manager in October. Within his first week as manager he'd lost Joe Gomez for the season with an ACL Injury. Immediately he was down to just four first team centre-backs. Four centre-backs for practically an entire season and of those four two...

Liverpool’s Problems

Liverpool have problems at the minute and that's about the only thing that all of the Liverpool fanbase can agree on at the minute. Every position on the pitch seems to be problematic, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight or a way to solve these problems before the end of...

Job Done – Observations from Liverpool’s 3-0 win against Exeter

It could have been tricky. It wasn't. It could have been embarrassing. It wasn't. Liverpool got the job done against Exeter to set up a tie with West Ham at Anfield in the next round of the FA Cup. After Sunday's defeat to United, it was important for the Reds to register a win in front...

Liverpool 3 Exeter 0 – Player Ratings

The Baby Reds enjoyed their outing on the hallowed turf of Anfield, as they got the job done against a plucky Exeter side to enter the four the round of the FA Cup. It was a refreshing performance as the youngsters were sprightly and eager, and with a certain little Welshman seeming like a man...

James Milner – Endurance sans End Product

When Liverpool secured the signing of James Milner as the first of eight in the summer, there was an excitement. An excitement that the club had pulled off a sensible piece of business. What else would you call a reliable, combative, versatile midfield player, who has been in the habit of winning trophies? Milner was...

What would signing Mario Gotze mean for Coutinho?

Early last week German tabloids started to report that Bayern Munich weren't in contract negotiations with Mario Gotze to have him commit his future to the club. That's not to say he won't be offered a new contract but by all accounts Bayern tend to get their contract sorted before Christmas. With less than...

“He’s an intelligent presser” – Southampton Fan on Shane Long

Irish media reported last week that Southampton's Shane Long was a Liverpool target. Since that news broke the South Coast club have signed a striker, Charlie Austin, to potentially pave the way for a Shane Long move. I spoke with Aidan Small (@FreshSaints) to find out his opinion on the forward. So Shane Long, what are his...

Illustrating Liverpool’s Pressing Vs Manchester United

We've been collecting Pressing Stats since 2013 on Anfield Index and after after attending the game at Anfield I expected a reasonable amount of pressing taking into account the hard work done against Arsenal in midweek. This was pretty much spot on against Manchester United, Liverpool's pressing effort wasn't one of the best performances of the season...

Henderson’s Gerrard-esque performance against United is a bad sign

Why is Jordan Henderson trying to be Steven Gerrard? I never wanted to see a repeat performance of what I saw Steven Gerrard give in the second half against Chelsea in the 2013/14 season as he tried single handedly to make amends for his slip. It wasn't his fault but he acted like every single...

Van Gaal’s False Fellaini Floors Flailing Reds

Our Reds were on top for most of the game, dominating against a Manchester United team who seem to get weaker every time they come to Anfield. Our Reds had Marouane Fellaini - Louis Van Gaal's plan A, B, and C - rattled from the moment Lucas accidentally head-butted him in the face on purpose...

Why we must be patient with Jordan Ibe

If Liverpool's progress under Jurgen Klopp is to gather pace, then the development of talented young players at his disposal will surely be of crucial importance. This was certainly the case under Brendan Rodgers, who successfully nurtured players like Raheem Sterling and allowed him to express himself in a side that pushed Manchester City all the...

Where are Liverpool’s Leaders?

According to the dictonary a leader is the person who leads or commands a group, organisation, or country. Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Javier Mascherano, Sami Hyppia, these were all players who were natural born leaders and Liverpool fans have been lucky enough to see these players grace the hallowed Anfield turf and Liverpool fans have...

Observations From The Shitty Loss to United

Well that was shit, wasn't it? Although, who didn't see this coming? Liverpool dominate, create chance after chance and lose to a set-piece goal. It's a match we've seen play out more times than we'd like to admit. Make no mistake about it, it was a real smash and grab victory by United. They turned...

Liverpool FC 0 vs Manchester United 1 : Player Ratings

Simon Mignolet (6.5) - Was literally a spectator in the first-half. Had nothing much to do in the second-half (including the goal). Caught a couple of balls that needed to be caught. Nathaniel Clyne (6.5) - Was far more influential offensively in this game, making a couple of great diagonal runs infield on the overlap. Was...
