Jurgen Klopp’s Rampant Reds through to League Cup Semi Final

Jurgen Klopp has Liverpool fans all over the world doing their best impressions of The Joker. We're all sat manically laughing at what we have just witnessed yet again because that's all you can do. It's surreal. A mere two months ago, Liverpool looked blunter than a spoon and here we are now having...

Klopp’s Words Show he’s the Right Man for Liverpool FC!

"I'd really like to change my personality but I can't forget this fucking lose (loss) against Crystal Palace" The words above exclaimed by Jürgen Klopp when pushed on how he thinks his opening spell at Liverpool has begun. "Until now, it's been ok ..... if we had won this, maybe I would have said that...

Favourable Fixture List Should Give Liverpool Festive Cheer

Sunday’s game was a typical post-Europa League performance – sluggish, lethargic, scrappy – but for the first time this season, Liverpool won after their travails in Europe. While others dropped points, we picked up three and saw important players return to the side. With our passage to the last 32 of the Europa League...

RIP Gerry Byrne

Sad news this weekend following the death of ex-Liverpool and England full-back Gerry Byrne. This article looks at the player and the man, and hopefully reads as a glowing tribute to the player nicknamed "Crunch". Gerry Byrne was a right footed player, who played his whole career as a left back, he was an aggressive...

Should Adam Lallana’s Lack of Goals be a Concern?

It's considered the norm these days for Liverpool players to divide fan opinion. Reds manager Jurgen Klopp was supposed to unite a fractured fanbase but if you scan Twitter you'll find fans squabbling over players. There are consequences to not rating a player. You could state in December you think x player is okay...

Klopp’s First Miracle? Transforming Liverpool’s Defence

Liverpool secured their third win of the week against Swansea, and in doing so extended their time without conceding a goal to 226 minutes. The clean sheet highlights perhaps the most surprising aspect of change since Klopp’s arrival - the sudden sturdiness of Liverpool’s defence. Whilst there have been strong attacking performances, particularly against...

The Jon Flanagan debate – Is he Good Enough for Liverpool?

Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge's return to training has overshadowed the fact Jon Flanagan is also nearing a return after a long time out. You can't blame people for overlooking Flanagan though, one is the Liverpool captain, the other is the club's best striker whereas Flanagan is just a back-up player. The local lad has...

Liverpool’s Rearguard – Who Should Play Over The Busy Period?

Fourteen league matches into the season, fifteen goals conceded, the largely criticised defence has improved over the last few weeks, but we still see individual errors. But come January, Jon Flanagan and Mamadou Sakho should be fit enough to return to the playing field. This article looks at the best defensive lineup Liverpool can...

Liverpool win Again! Observations from the win against Swansea

Jurgen Klopp has taken his record as Liverpool manager from three wins in seven games to six in ten, after his Reds side defeated Swansea 1-0 at Anfield on Sunday evening to round off a good week. The match itself showed two components associated with a Jurgen Klopp side; the relentless pressure that pins the...

In From The Fringes – Joe Allen

"You'd think he was a Spanish player, a real European player. I would have paid many more millions for this kid,"- Brendan Rodgers on signing Joe Allen Once described as the Welsh Xavi, Joe Allen is one of a few players to see their chances diminished since the arrival of Jurgen Klopp. Although Allen has failed...

Liverpool vs Swansea City | Match Preview

After two wins on the bounce we now have Swansea City in our sights. The Swans have a number of links with Liverpool FC such as John Toshack, Tommy Smith, Colin Irwin, Brendan Rodgers, Colin Pascoe, Jonjo Shelvey and Joe Allen amongst others, and promises to be a good game. According to reports, Jordan Henderson and Jordan...

Give ‘Shanks’ to the Board: Klopp, the Fans, and Our Red Revolution

In America, there are essentially three types of holidays: 1) Those where we eat until we hate ourselves, 2) Those where we give overpriced gifts to each other, to later return them, and 3) Those where we don’t know what else to do, so we blow things up. At present, we are closest to a...

How to Get the Best Out of Roberto Firmino

Perhaps the most tantalising, definitely the most exciting, and overall the most mouth-watering prospect to come out of this season has been Roberto Firmino and his integration first into Liverpool, and subsequently into Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool. The pace, the guile, and the grace with which the Brazilian ace glides across the pitch with the...

Klopp Carving Out Results With Rodgers Tools

Does He Really Need New Pliers? When interviewed following his third from last game in charge of Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers identified a lack of quality ‘tools’ as the reason for his poor managerial record in 2015. “Give me the tools, I’ll do the work” were his exact words in the aftermath of September’s 3-2 victory...

Don’t Look Back in Anger

Almost exactly two years ago Liverpool fans witnessed a genuine watershed moment, a highlight in a season of giddy and vertigo inducing highs. Now, just to be clear, we’re not going to dwell on history here; enough people tell us that we take nostalgia to unhealthy levels. But just bear with me for a...

Job Done! Observations from Liverpool’s win vs Bordeaux

It wasn't straightforward. That wouldn't be the Liverpool way and why would we have it any other way? It was a far cry from the demolition of Manchester City on Saturday, but Liverpool picked up all three points against Bordeaux on Thursday evening. It was a victory which guaranteed the Reds qualification from the Europa...

The Brilliance Of Emre Can

Emre Can, what can I say about him? He's one of the brightest stars currently in the Liverpool team. His ability to play a number of positions, whether it be wasted in defence, ala the Brendan Rodgers era or in his more natural midfield position makes him an invaluable member of the LiverpooI set up....

Home vs away form? A real concern or an imaginary problem

On Saturday, Jürgen Klopp’s blitzkrieg offence claimed its latest high-profile away victim in Manchester City. After battering an already-broken Chelsea 3-1 a few weeks back, Liverpool could approach the far more difficult proposition of an Etihad away day with renewed hope, a hope that was certainly not misplaced. By the end of the game, City’s...

Man City Smashed – The Season Starts Now…

Well that was bloody marvellous wasn’t it? Going to the Etihad this time around, given Chelsea’s continual struggles, was, on paper at least, the toughest assignment the Reds would have in the league this season. The fact that just after the half hour Jürgen’s boys found themselves 3-0 up, coasting, and seemingly able to...

Klopp Giving Liverpool Reason to be Quietly Confident

Glorious, swift, stunning, prepotent, magnificent. I could go on. The performance against Manchester City on Saturday evening was one thoroughly enjoyed by the entire fanbase; the current title favourites were dispatched in their own stadium by a rampant Liverpool side that could have easily ended up with seven goals. Having seen off all of...

Man City Win Has Brought Back the Feelgood Factor

It was a day that started with talk of Sergio Aguero’s return and of Raheem Sterling’s first encounter with Liverpool since his much protracted summer move. It ended with Kolo Toure enjoying a three-minute cameo as a central-midfielder / right-winger hybrid with the Reds 4-1 up. What a time to be alive indeed. Mate, Kolo is...

Jürgen Klopp’s Midfield Unit

Hello again Anfield Index, it's been a while. Sorry I've taken some time since my last article, but apparently being in the final year of your degree is quite time-consuming. Moving on, in this piece I will be attempting to analyse what I consider the most important component of any Klopp system: the midfield. Most...

Klopp Working Miracles with Lucas and Lallana

Liverpool is on the up, the players are playing out of their skins, the fanbase is united, Brendan Rodgers has gone and Jürgen Klopp is now in charge. Genuine footballing superstars like Ilkay Gundogan, Leroy Sane and Tino Horn are being linked with the club and there is a real possibility that some of...

Beat The Dross Win The League – LIVE Anfield Index Podcast

Hello and welcome to another LIVE Anfield Index Podcast on the Anfield Index Channel! Today on the show John Ritchie welcomes Marco Lopes and Simon Brundish to discuss all the fall out from the game at the Etihad Stadium where Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool bounced back after his first loss in the Premier League to humble Manchester City! The panel will discuss Liverpool's huge win and talk...

Football Fans: Adopting the Persona

I’m a great believer in the theory that some football fans subconsciously adopt the persona of the manager that leads their club of choice. How the mentality and outlook of the man that picks the team, the man that holds the fans very mood for the rest of the week in his hands, will...

Sturridge, Firmino and Coutinho – Opponents Should Fear Us

"Where are the goals going to come from?" was probably amongst the top five questions Liverpool fans have asked in 2015. It's not like there wasn't cause for concern either, saying the Reds looked blunt up front would've been polite. The toothless attack is a mixture of Daniel Sturridge having shares in the injury...

Bringing The Belief Back

"After the goal on 82 minutes, with 12 minutes to go, I saw many people leaving the stadium. I felt pretty alone in this moment." Jurgen Klopp's words after Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace just before the international break. We are now just over six weeks into his reign as Liverpool manager and how we have...

Liverpool’s Midfield – The Heart of the Team, in Need of a Defibrillator!

Editor's note: This article was written prior to Liverpool's win against Manchester City at Etihad on Saturday I've always believed that the competitive games are won and lost, by the battle in midfield. It's the area of a team so influential to the style, tempo, control and competitiveness of a team. A good midfield will...

Chaos-Kitchen: Shooting-up the Table

Delicate. Intricate. Profligate. Manchester City's candy-cane tower has come crumbling down. Forget City's Soufflé-style of calculated luxury: we've entered Jürgen's Black Forest Gateau of Mayhem. High-class pomp has been decimated by working-class passion as the Moneyball-marauding FSG out-bought City's billions in all areas. On sponsors alone, Liverpool's Subway, Gatorade and Dunkin' Donuts deals dwarf against the likes of City's Nike, Aabar and Etihad...
