The Evolution of Liverpool Sports Fandom: From Stadiums to Streaming

Liverpool Football Club is one of the most iconic names in world football, boasting a fan base that stretches far beyond the city’s borders. …

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...

Is No Business Good Business? Liverpool’s January Window

"These are our new signings" - Jurgen Klopp as he prepares to welcome back Martin Skrtel, Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi back to training this week. Frustration was rife on social media as it dawned on Liverpool fans that there wouldn't be a surprise last minute signing. No, Alex Teixeira wasn't going to...

Could Coutinho find himself frozen out of Klopp’s 1st XI?

Could Coutinho find himself frozen out of Klopp’s 1st XI? To say that Philippe Coutinho is a top footballer would be a criminal understatement. The diminutive Brazilian has the kind of ability that can bamboozle defenders and leave spectators speechless, his touch is a thing of unrivalled beauty, his long-range strike a sight to behold....

All Eyes on Cam Bran

Somewhere deep inside the Camp Nou is a cabinet. Inside that cabinet, somewhere, is an envelope. No, it isn’t filled with names of players who Luis Enrique feels will let him down this season. It isn’t filled with Javier Mascherano’s tax forms. It houses the scout report of a player. A player that goes by...

Rising Ticket Prices, FSG and Atmosphere

The Spirit of Shankly group released a statement on Monday 1st February stating the owners of Liverpool FC, Fenway Sports Group, "had chosen to increase prices (of tickets) for many". When this was happening wasn't disclosed and the price hike is yet to be confirmed, but £70 seems to be the touted price on...

The Importance Of Jordan Henderson

So captain Jordan Henderson is injured AGAIN. Surprisingly enough I'm not that surprised. I mentioned it before the Stoke City match on Tuesday night that maybe it was a risk playing Henderson so soon after the Norwich City match, which as we all know was a high intensity match. With the reoccurring injuries it...

Why Jon Flanagan is the Most Important Piece of Klopp’s Liverpool Jigsaw

When Stoke were welcomed to Anfield for the League Cup second leg clash last week the resulting game from a Liverpool perspective could only be described as drab and disjointed. The performance of the team lacked any of the fluid, free flowing football that rears its head every so often but seems to have...

Why Replays Aren’t So Bad This Year For Liverpool

The most recent result is in – after a fair performance by a young Liverpool squad against a full West Ham side, the FA Cup Fourth Round came to a nil-nil close. West Ham confirmed the replay date shortly after the match: 9 February. Replay. It’s a word Liverpool fans have grown to loathe in...

Alternatives to Alex Teixeira

With the looming figure of deadline day hovering beyond the next horizon, and Sky’s ever-present coverage seemingly set to focus on whether Liverpool will be successful in their pursuit of an attacker, specifically of Shakhtar’s devastating little Brazilian, questions are abound. Will Liverpool re-enter negotiations? Will Shakhtar be convinced into selling their prize asset?...
