Last week the Serbian website Mozzart Sport linked Liverpool with a move for VFB Stuggart winger Filip Kostic.
The 23 year old is only in his second season playing for the Bundesliga side but has been steadily improving ever since joining them. Signed from FC Groningen, who ply their trade in the Eredivisie, the winger cost...
Just one month ago I wrote on this parish about my excitement for the festive period. It wasn't just the thought of excessive drinking and mounds of mince pies that made me giddy, but the possibility of Liverpool building some momentum.
The Reds had just come off the back of three successive victories and I...
Another week, another mixed set of results, another chorus of grumbling from Liverpool fans over their £32.5m striker. Saturday’s 2-0 loss at Upton Park provided the latest round of evidence in the trial of Benteke, a cloudy affair in which almost everyone employed by the club, from scouts, to former managers, to current owners,...
Liverpool fans got another piece of good news at the start of this current transfer window when it was reported that Aston Villa are thinking about terminating the loan deal they have in place for Liverpool's forgotten man Tiago Ilori. For me personally this is great news as when his loan to Aston Villa...
We've been collecting Pressing Stats since 2013 on Anfield Index and after two record breaking performances from Liverpool I expected a heavy drop in this loss at Upton Park, I was wrong! Liverpool's pressing effort was actually very close to the game against Leicester City. We analyse the pressing stats and on-ball stats on our podcast...
It’s easy to look at the United fans with their radically pre-emptive Mourinho scarves, and their Sharpie covered kitchen-towl signs, and to forget that Liverpool fans can be pretty stupid too. Jurgen Klopp alluded to one element of the idiocy, or at least childish impatience, in Reds fans, when he said of Liverpool’s inconsistent...
They say that the atmosphere is a thing of the past these days at Anfield. That the famous twelfth man is no more. That fans in the terraces can no longer be bothered to sing or cheer the team on when their backs are against the wall. That Anfield is a silent stadium and...
It is not how we expected to start the new year. A frustrating Liverpool performance saw West Ham finish as 2-0 victors to complete a Premier League double this season. With the early kick-off, the Reds had the chance to move up to fifth but if results go against us we could be as...
Liverpool had a torrid start to 2016 as they produced a performance similar to the one against Watford. The Reds were second best in everything; be it passing, tackling, desire or invention. The level of desperation was quite clearly there to be seen as Dejan Lovren was seen taking free kicks. The lack of...
Ask any football fan what they expect from their striker and the first point they will make is that they have to score goals. The best way for strikers to score goals is by making forward runs into the box so that they are closer to the goal when they receive the ball, giving...
Since his summer move to Liverpool Christian Benteke has been weighed down by the fee The Reds paid Aston Villa. Rightly or wrongly when you sign a striker for £32.5 million you have high expectations. I understand transfer fees don't always represent the quality of a player, the fee is decided by the selling...
"Playing against a defensive position is just as bad as making love to a tree." - Jorge Valdano
A couple of weeks ago I tweeted that, by beating Leicester and Sunderland, Liverpool could finish the year just nine points off first.
The response was typical.
I was met with groans of, "easier said than done", "this season, you...
We've been collecting Pressing Stats since 2013 on Anfield Index and Liverpool's performance was a recording breaking one according to the numbers we collect! You can have a listen to the full analysis of the pressing stats on the podcast embedded below. There are also supporting heat map/pressing map combinations below so that you...
Schalke player Joel Matip has been linked with a move to Liverpool in the January transfer window in a cut price deal due to his contract coming to an end in June.
You'd be forgiven for not being too clued up on Matip, when thinking about Schalke defenders it's usually Benedict Howedes and the now...
With Liverpool finally able to put a fairly disappointing 2015 behind them, we're heading into a new year that's full of promise for Jürgen Klopp's Reds.
With a new manager, a new style, and maybe even some new signings (if you believe the rumours), everything's in place for a fantastic start to 2015. Liverpool's January...
Two consecutive 1-0 victories against Leicester and now Sunderland have seen Liverpool rise up to seventh in the table, level on points with Manchester United. The win on Wednesday night saw similarities to the win on boxing day; an unconvincing 1-0 victory. Benteke bagging the winner but missing a late sitter in both games,...
Marko Grujic. Up until a couple of weeks ago, the vast majority of Liverpool fans likely wouldn’t have heard of him. Yet now he’s the name on everyone’s lips, as his controversial move to the Reds gets ever closer to being signed, sealed and delivered.
I say controversial, not because of the young mans reputation,...
In a football world often described as savage, unrelenting and uncompromising, it’s a pretty good feeling to watch a Jürgen Klopp interview. In such a harsh, embattled landscape where managers all strive to achieve excellence largely through one pre-determined template of how to act in front of the camera and on the touchline, Jürgen...
Christian Benteke has been subject to heavy criticism amongst the Liverpool fanbase in recent weeks, with some drawing parallels between his and Andy Carroll's fateful move to Liverpool. Yet in the league, Benteke has made 15 appearances, started on 10 occasions, and scored five, and even chipped in with one assist. In comparison, Luis Suarez...
Eyes were widened and surprise stated as Liverpool’s lineup for the Leicester City game was confirmed, with Jurgen Klopp abandoning his usual 4-3-2-1 system since joining the Reds and matching up to the Foxes in a tactical sense with a 4-4-2.
Pre-game (and, for some unfortunate watchers, in-game) chatter was about how Klopp was affording...
From the moment Jean-Marc Bosman won his case which allowed players to move to clubs in different countries football has been ruled by the players.
Players and agents collude with one another looking for that one big payday and it often means their current clubs either lose the player on a free transfer, have to...
Taking down the Premier League’s high-flying leaders is no easy feat; Liverpool coming off a winless three game streak never helped the build up to the game either. The talks of the Riyad Mahrez-Jamie Vardy combo ripping through the Reds flooded social media after what a Troy Deeney-Idion Ighalo partnership did in Watford's 3-0 win...
Many have stated that Liverpool victory over Leicester City was down to the Foxes having a bad day at the office. I happen to disagree, Liverpool's pressing on the day was very impressive and the illustrations below will help explaining exactly how Liverpool went about their stifling Leicester at Anfield on Boxing Day.
The images...
There have been many shouts for Liverpool to make a big dip into the January transfer window and pull out some real quality during Jurgen Klopp’s first attempt to strengthen the team. Several positions have been cited as “needed” in the immediate future, with a right-sided centre-back on the list for quite some time.
But...
Liverpool's three game run without a win was finally halted as Christian Benteke's goal gave the Reds a 1-0 win over the league leaders Leicester City.
In truth, the scoreline could have been much more overwhelming in our favour, but our profligacy in front of goal meant that there were a few nails being bitten...
A far better performance from Liverpool ensured that they took all three points on a windy day at Anfield, becoming the first team to keep Leicester from scoring and condemning the foxes to only their second defeat this season. Sunderland await the Redmen next as the fixtures come in one after the other.
Simon Mignolet...
I'm an advocate of changing the Premier League schedule so clubs have a mini winter break. I think it'll benefit the clubs in Europe and it'll benefit the league in the long term as you won't be blitzing the players and having them play in something silly like a game every 3 days...but, at...
The great American poet, Eminem, once said in his sweeping, modernist, self-biopic poem song, “Lose Yourself”:
“Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity,”
And for many Liverpool fans, that’s where we find ourselves this week. After floating in the ethereal clouds of what-could-be, following epic wins versus Chelsea, Man City and Southampton, we're now plummeting...
Had some feedback recently on AI that articles should be more positive, well after last weekend's exploits being positive is going to be very difficult, after what can only be described as a turgid, error ridden team performance by the team, where in my opinion nobody wearing red came out with any credit.
Trying to...
With so many questions hanging over the potential Marko Grujic transfer from Red Star Belgrade to Liverpool FC I decided to interview Serbian sports writer Nemenja Grbic (@Nemcy85) to see if he could clear a few things up. This was conducted before Marko himself told the Serbian paper Telegraf he was joining Liverpool earlier...
