Where Are The Leaders At Liverpool Football Club?

It’s been a frustrating season for Liverpool fans so far, the right man is in charge but he’s working with another man’s tools and the results have been inconsistent. With the Reds sitting ninth in the league and the lack of transfers in the January window fans are already pinpointing deficiencies within the current...

The Underestimated Impact of Origi’s Return

As the January Transfer Window closed, many Liverpool fans were left crying out for the signing of a forward. Many believed that the injury crisis plus the increasing number of matches would prove to be too much and that the team would suffer significantly. However, with the return of Sturridge, Coutinho, and Origi people...

Jürgen Klopp’s Foundations Will Require Supporters’ Patience

As football supporters, it's only natural to crave success. We want the club we adore to achieve great things, to challenge for honours and ultimately be a consistent force both domestically and within Europe. Deep down we all want this, but strangely I don't necessarily want it just yet. Now that may sound like...

Managing Daniel Sturridge – Cup or Premier League?

Daniel Sturridge's return to the Liverpool bench against Sunderland caught everybody off guard. In the pre-match press conference a day earlier Jurgen Klopp implied if everything went well then the earliest time fans would get a glimpse of their hit-man would be against West Ham in the FA Cup. The disappointing 2-2 draw, in which...

Liverpool – Hold Your Head Up High

It’s not a great time to be a Liverpool supporter right now. The league campaign – what, for many, gives the season it’s real wings – is in danger of spiralling into a damage limitation exercise. It can be grim watching the Reds; a chronic lack of pace, a blunt object seemingly incapable of...

Observations from Liverpool’s loss at West Ham

Liverpool play well and lose to a set piece goal. Lucas is too eager in a challenge and gives away the free-kick that Liverpool are punished for. Christian Benteke misses chance after chance. Sounds eerily familiar doesn't it? Liverpool fans once again had their very own groundhog day as West Ham knocked The Reds...

Henderson can earn hero status by standing up for fans

Given the timing of Liverpool’s capitulation against West Ham and the walkout of thousands of fans, it was inevitable that links were going to be drawn. After being 2-0 to the good and in complete control, to a walkout of thousands of fans and the subsequent omnishambles that we have come to expect of Liverpool’s defence...

Now is not the Time for Danny Ward

The latest Simon Mignolet horror show that gifted Sunderland a way back into a match they had been comfortably second best in, was for most Liverpool fans the final straw in the Belgian’s chequered Reds career. Well, to be fair it was more like the final straw in a long line of final straws previous....

Danny Ward’s time to shine?

After yet another mistake, this time against Sunderland, Simon Mignolet's time as undisputed Liverpool number 1 must be nearing an end. The ex-Sunderland 'keeper has had a torrid time this season and his 'mistakes' have cost Liverpool an apparent 15 points according to Squakwa.com. It's not as simple as this but add those 15...

Klopp’s Absence a Blessing in Disguise

Hopeless: "Impossible to accomplish, solve, resolve, etc." Saturday's game against Sunderland raised a number of issues. But no new ones. What many of us thought was an under-rated and under-valued squad - abused and suppressed by Rodgers' ignorance and personal insecurities - has turned-out to be farce. Of course, many of our problems were exacerbated by Rodgers' approach....

The Travesty of Modern Day Ticket Prices

"The word fanatic has been used many times... I think it’s more than fanaticism. It’s a religion to them. The thousands who come here, come to worship... it’s a sort of shrine, it isn’t a football ground." - Bill Shankly Bill Shankly embodied the zeitgeist; during his reign spanning from 1959-74, he developed and nurtured...

John Barnes on Jurgen Klopp, the Academy and Pressing

Anfield Index recently celebrated the 100th episode of their main podcast, which also happened to coincide with the website's fifth birthday. A double celebration meant the pressure was on Gags to deliver a guest for the event, and like always he didn't disappoint. John Barnes appeared on episode 100 and episode 101, both are...

Nathaniel Clyne: The New Glen Johnson?

Last summer, as a Liverpool fan there was not that much to rejoice about. Liverpool had finished the 2014/2015 season in a disappointing sixth position having come so close to winning the Premier League title the year before. Daniel Sturridge was hardly seen by fans, the goals from the 2013/2014 season had dried up,...

Ticket to Nowhere: FSG, the Walkout, and Us

In one of the most surreal moments as a Liverpool fan in recent memory, an estimated 10,000 supporters walked out the ground, the sacred ground at Anfield Road, Liverpool and took a stand against what is seen as unjust business practices by Liverpool's managing body, Fenway Sports Group. Though I understand and support the...

Liverpool’s Silver Linings – Cups and Kids

Following another of those performances away at Leicester, you know, the one where we boss possession but create very few clear cut chances on goal, there has been a lot written about the current state of play. The current squad has been scrutinised and pulled apart and for the first time since he arrived, I...

Observations from another disappointing Liverpool performance

On an important day at Anfield, when the powers that be were made aware of everyone's unhappiness, Liverpool added to the frustration as a seemingly routine victory slipped away in the last ten minutes, with more dreadful defending. Against a team that lie 19th in the league, Liverpool should have been strolling to victory, and they were...

Liverpool 2 Sunderland 2: Player Ratings

Liverpool were yet again left to rue errors from a shambolic defence as the home team gifted away two precious points at home. Liverpool needs a win, and they need it now. This is how the players fared: Simon Mignolet (4.5) - Simon Mignolet was a passive spectator in the first half watching couple of wayward shots...

Liverpool’s Five Top of the Flops of the Last Five Years

Anfield Index is five years old! It's that strange age when the adorable toddler you once knew begins to get a little less cute and little more annoying. The 8am tantrums begin when getting ready for school. Incessant questions on absolutely everything in the entire universe. Questions of which you quite clearly have all the...

Season-Defining Moments From The Last 5 Years

In commemoration of AnfieldIndex’s 5-year anniversary, this piece celebrates such a feat by highlighting the season-defining moments pertaining to Liverpool – the football club that the website is based on – over the last 5 years. This spans out from the beginning of the 2010/2011 season up until the 2014/2015 season. Just as a disclaimer,...

Should I stay or should I go now?

If I go will there be trouble? If I stay will there be double? So, do I or don’t I? Before we cover that, lets set a scene. Granted that whatever is painted is done with the brush of the artist, therefore it’s what I want you to see. That bias I cannot remove, such is the...

Klopp wants Heavy Metal Football but has he Inherited Spinal Tap?

When it comes to Liverpool Football Club, I’m forever the optimist. A glass half full sort of person clinging to an undying faith that the football powerhouse we once were, we will be again. One day. Hopefully. Okay, I’m mostly the optimist. But there are times when it’s necessary to take a step back, drop...

Wake Me Up When The Season Ends

What a season this has been and I don’t mean for good reasons. The highlight this season has undoubtedly been Jurgen Klopp’s arrival at Anfield, but other than that it has been a season to forget for the Reds. Every time we as fans seem to get a little bit excited, we come crashing down...

Is The Liverpool Midfield Good Enough?

No. The end. The Liverpool midfield is one area of the team that is difficult to judge. Individually many fans would say the players have enough about them to warrant a place in the Liverpool squad but it's as a collective that questions are asked, and rightly so. Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Joe Allen, Lucas and...

Chill your beans and trust Jürgen Klopp

The climax of a transfer window can only guarantee two things: unimaginable hype from Sky Sports News and people losing their minds on social media. For some Liverpool fans, the frustration at not securing the services of a new attacking player was all too much. The hunger for success is undoubted and shared by this...

Christian Benteke – Harshly Judged or Fairly Criticised?

The story of Christian Benteke at Liverpool is that of a sorry tale about a misfit. He's our Buddy the Elf to Liverpool's elves. He stands out and not in a good way. When he gets involved the other players seem to have to increase their workload to accommodate him. It may not be...

Jurgen Klopp’s influence on January Transfers

Liverpool spend a week negotiating with Shakhtar Donetsk for Alex Teixeira and eventually miss out. Same shit, different year, right? Apparently not it seems. If rumours are to be believed it was Reds boss Jurgen Klopp who rejected the Alex Teixeira deal due to the fact it's his belief the player isn't worth the reported...

Liverpool Don’t Need A Big Change; Liverpool Need a Refresh

It's been the debate that has raged on since for some time under FSG ownership, is this Liverpool squad good enough to compete with the best the world has to offer? Quite frankly not according to the likes of Souness, who has labelled Klopp's current crop as average with fans agreeing that there needs to be...

Alberto Moreno: Sparkling Talent or Inconsistent Liability?

It's fair to say that much of Liverpool's enthralling 5-4 victory against Norwich City will be forgotten, given time. Steven Naismith's debut goal will probably be solely remembered by Everton fans, whilst Roberto Firmino's mouthwatering performance won't be forgotten, should he continue to make good on his obvious talent. And of course, nobody will forget...

Looking ahead to February – the biggest month of Liverpool’s season

The January transfer window is over. Disappointingly for some, Liverpool ended up with Steven Caulker as the only addition to a squad that many believed needed more strengthening than what Ian Ayre and co. have managed. But there is very little to time to nurse those wounds, if there are any. The upcoming month is...
