Can Jurgen Klopp’s Teams Play the Diamond?

When many think of Jurgen Klopp they think of counter attacking football. They think of a team in yellow buzzing around the final third of the pitch in the hunt for the ball. They think of a 4231 formation. It's what he was famed for as he took a mid-table Dortmund side and transformed...

Klopp’s arrival – Rafa Parallels & Battle Cries!

At White Hart Lane on Tottenham’s High Road, Liverpool’s latest hotly anticipated football revolution will begin again. Perhaps not in the sparkling splendour of the blistering sunshine of August 2004, when a trim and sharply dressed Rafa Benitez first stepped out into the away dugout as the new LFC manager, embarking on his mission...

Green-Eyed Monsters – Klopp and Coutinho Are Subjects Of Envy

Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on. Iago, Othello Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. Buddha Envy blinds men and makes it impossible for them to think clearly. Malcolm X When Moses wandered back down off...

Klopp – The Appliance of Science!

I’ll start by saying he’s not a Zanussi washing machine! What can make us different from our competitors? We have the same view of all the players, managers, staff and other things out there as the next club so what are the dividing lines that make us what we are? Theoretically, it is a combination...

Brendan Rodgers Saved My Life…

I’ve ummed and aaarghed about writing this. It’s a personal tale really, but that’s sometimes what’s needed to express thanks to someone. Many years ago, in 2008 to be precise, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. That illness effects my heart and the initial prognosis wasn’t great. As you can imagine, the news shook...

The New Testament? Will Klopp Redeem The Redmen?

“I like the total intensification , when there are crashes and bangs everywhere, a sense of all of nothing, pure adrenaline and no one being able to breathe." Jürgen Klopp, Die Zeit, 2012 "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy." Brian's Mother, The Life of Brian There's a reasonably well known anecdote from the world's biggest...

Liverpool FC: The Future Is All That Counts

A decent first-half display in the 225th Merseyside derby was the last thing Brendan Rodgers had to shout about as manager of Liverpool Football Club. The final result (1-1) was by the by for the Northern Irishman, as he soon learnt what many fans had known since late last week (thanks to a clued...

Lazar Markovic – Gone But Not Forgotten

Rarely has a player split the fanbase, as Lazar Markovic did last season. Arriving for a sum of £20 million from Benfica, the expectations were high for the fleet-footed Serbian. Supporters hoped with the departing Luis Suarez, that he would fill a creative void in the Liverpool side. In truth he perhaps wasn't ready...

Liverpool Manager? One That’s “Ours”

I always said to the mighty Anfield Index Godfather, Gags, that I’d write one article for him. Just never thought it would be this one! Brendan Rodgers aka Janet Jackson - what have you done for me lately? Oooooh ooooooh ooooooh ooooooohhhhhhhhh yeah. As I waited once the whistle was blown at Goodison today, you didn’t wave....

What Jurgen Klopp Brings to Liverpool FC

The Jugen Klopp shadow has been cast over Anfield since the 2014/15 season ended. The German left Dortmund having taken them from midtable mediocrity to one of the most efficient and exciting teams to watch within two seasons of taking charge. He toppled the might of Bayern Munich. He cast aside the lingering Bayer...

Finally Feeling Something with Liverpool FC Again

It's been far too long. 365 days make up a full year, yet it feels like it's a lot longer when it comes to football. It felt like forever since I've started watching football, learning the game from all aspects whilst sitting on the floor beside my dad as we watch the game on weekend...

Starting Again With a New Manager – Liverpool and FSG

The Calm before the Storm. It's always a little difficult when you're having to start over in any walk of life. You get to start afresh and there must be a fear that if you get it wrong, again, you may not be able to recover. Outsiders looking in may consider it an easy job...

A New Manager to Make Anfield a Fortress

When I was a child I was kind of obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I know the follow up question to this and the answer is Raphael, the red one, obviously. I'm sure you're all familiar with the story of these four turtles so I won't bore you with that. I was obsessed to...

Five Observations from Everton vs Liverpool

Ah the “Friendly Derby”, one of the great derbies in English football. This is a spectacle that divides households, particularly for fans in Merseyside, who happen to follow one or the other side. This match however somewhat failed lived up to that hype. Anger, passion, goals, top class saves and Mama Sakho all added...

Thanks For Making Us Dream Brendan

It all went a bit sour in the last 12 months of Brendan Rodgers’ reign. Turgid football, plenty of excuses and pathetic digs about a bloke whitening his teeth and getting a tan. But it wasn’t always like that. Once upon a time, we were all on a rollercoaster which kept on going up and up...

Goodbye Mr Rodgers

18:30 British time. The pundits on Sky Sports were just about wrapping up the analysis on the Arsenal/Manchester United game when they were interrupted by breaking news. News that left Graeme Souness "stunned". Just a few hours after the Merseyside Derby ended in a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park, Liverpool Football club released the...

Everton 1 Liverpool 1 : Player Ratings

A drab derby, characterised by a couple of shocking defensive errors, meant Liverpool left Goodison park with a point. Brendan Rodgers should be scratching his head as Liverpool reverted to a slow, methodical, predicable, I don't know what I am doing type of football as they struggled to create any major openings. However, the Reds...

Liverpool’s Problems Extend Far Beyond Brendan Rodgers

The pressure on Brendan Rodgers couldn’t be greater, and the cracks are beginning to show, just as they did for Liverpool managers of the past. The end of days for recent Liverpool managers has been signalled with a loss of their public dignity, and Rodgers is no different to the rest in this regard....

Everton v Liverpool: 3 Things To Think About

Ahead of the Merseyside derby this Sunday, Liverpool head into the historic tie under immense pressure. Unlike previous encounters, the Reds aren't the favourites. Brendan Rodgers has led the squad through a hail of poor performances and is only just holding onto his job, Daniel Sturridge has the weight of a club on his dodgy...

Liverpool’s forgotten man in the middle – Joe Allen

Joe Allen was always going to face an uphill battle ever since Brendan Rodgers labelled him “the Welsh Xavi” on the now infamous ‘Being Liverpool’ mockumentary documentary. Motor-mouth Rodgers clearly didn’t help Allen with such fanciful comparisons, but it’s another quote from his international manager, Chris Coleman, which underlines his qualities. “Joe is a great player....

Memorable Merseyside Derbies

This weekend’s Merseyside derby is arguably the biggest in years and certainly its outcome could carry particular significance for Brendan Rodgers and his future as Liverpool manager. So, in a break from all the pressure and speculation surrounding the current position of the club, I decided to take a nostalgic look back some of...

The Importance of Winning the Derby

Twitter is the breeding ground for bad ideas and I've seen plenty on there lately. From the petition to sign Marco Reus, the "let's all dress as Jurgen Klopp" for the Villa game movement that made the press to the recent "I hope we lose so Brendan Rodgers is sacked" gang that's starting to...

Best and Worst of Recent Merseyside Derbies

Derby day is around the corner. The time of the season when the city of Liverpool unites in an amalgamation of red and blue. Little red children walk hand in hand with little blue children. The elderly Toffee fan gazes longingly into the eyes of the of the recently retired Liverbird wondering if she...

Sturridge And Moreno Steadying The Ship

Forced jollity is invariably a terrible thing to be part of. When your heart is not in it, it's enormously difficult to actively enjoy anything. For much of this week, I've felt like one of the kids on the school bus hijacked by the Scorpio Killer in Dirty Harry. In an attempt to create...

The Two Dannys – Sturridge and Ings: Ready Made Strikeforce

Liverpool have had a few prolific partnerships in their history, a few spring to mind instantly with very little thought. John Toshack and Kevin Keegan, Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish, Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen, Emile Heskey and Michael Owen, Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard and of course Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. Some...

The Merseyside Derby – A Family Feud

In the late months of 2000, my aunt and Godmother died. That’s the same person, by the way. It was a bad time but not a double tragedy. My aunty Pat was my Dad’s sister. She was very glamorous with a mop of blonde hair, had a hearty laugh and called me ‘soft lad’. I...

Walking On Through The Storm

It’s a stressful thing supporting modern Liverpool. Far more than just following a football team, having a pint, and hoping they will win the match when they take the field, which, after all, is what it really should be about. We fret about everything now. Fellow Reds willingly offer counsel on this matter on...

Have The Fans Finally Given Up On Brendan?

Something happened after Liverpool's 3-1 defeat to Manchester United a few weeks ago. Something that hasn't happened under the reign of Brendan Rodgers. The fans united and their voice became unanimous. Brendan Rodgers needs to go. Even during the dark days of last season, you could always find a big chunk of the fan...

A Guide to FC Sion

Liverpool's Europa League draw wasn't the toughest all things considered. Barring the trip to Russia there shouldn't really be anything there to concern us. There's no reason The Reds shouldn't top that group but It'd be foolish to take these matches for granted. Many fans won't be familiar with FC Sion, I doubt many...
