Video: Coutinho, Ibe and Markovic take on The Redmen TV!

The Redmen TV, in collaboration with Vauxhall Football present Liverpool players Phil Coutinho, Jordon Ibe and Lazar Markovic taking on Redmen TV’s Chris "The Cat" Pajak. The players have 5 seconds to score, but will they?! It seems the lads had a great laugh recording this and we're sure it'll appeal to you all! Important to...

Benteke vs. Firmino – Let’s have a gander, shall we?

In lieu of pissing off yet more Scousers I have decided to tone down the abuse and cast a more critical eye. Fuck knows how it’s going to turn out. One confirmed impressively early and the other at the centre of yet another drawn out, big money move; Roberto Firmino and Christian Benteke represent two sides...

Ray Clemence | Heroes of Our Past

Let’s start by being a little contentious for the younger generation who never saw the man play, or – at best – have seen little bits of his performances on YouTube and official LFC merchandise: Raymond Neal Clemence was the best goalkeeper I ever saw, in any team, ever – better than Banks, Shilton,...

Danny Ings – A shrewd summer signing in the shadow of Benteke?

On January 30th I wrote an article on the site titled "Danny Ings isn't that offensive". It was the day after the rumours began about the 22 year old joining Liverpool this summer and Twitter was having its daily meltdown. Fast forward 6 months and Danny Ings is a Liverpool player, has already opened his...

The Ghosts of Pre-Season Past

Pre-season is upon us with all the thrill, excitement and hope that comes with it… Okay, maybe not thrill and excitement but there’s hope, there’s always hope right? That’s what kills us, every year, every pre-season a player rises from the shadows stringing together a series of quality performances only for that glimmer of...

Lights, Camera, Action — Gerrard’s Hollywood Premiere

It has been quite an exciting week filled with firsts for Liverpool icon, Steven Gerrard.  It began July 11th, with his highly anticipated debut for the Los Angeles Galaxy.  Making his first home appearance in an International Champions' Cup match-up at the StubHub Center against Mexican power Club America.  Though the fixture itself wasn’t...

Five Liverpool Players To Watch This Summer

Pre-season is often a time of excitement for football fans. The constant stream of transfer news and activity has grown tiresome for many supporters, but pre-season matches often prove to be very exciting just for the sake of seeing a glimpse of your new signings. And it’s not just the new signings that excite....

Benteke: the solution that throws up more questions

“Be careful what you wish for” so says an old saying. For long Liverpool fans have craved a big money or big name signing. They complained Liverpool could not win anything with kids and that the clubs transfer policy needed mixing up to stand any chance of challenging for silverware. So it seems the...

Mama Told Me There’d Be Days Like These

Analyzing Mamadou Sakho’s Uphill Battle and His Ability to Persevere: When Liverpool brought Mamadou Sakho to Anfield in the summer of 2013, there was a myriad of reasons to be excited.  The prospect of adding a player of such quality to a squad in search of its first Champions League birth since 2009, was a...

Craig Johnston – Heroes of Our Past

Before I begin I have to say that this Heroes of the Past article is going to be a bit different. I have a confession to make – I hardly saw Craig Johnston play (aside from videos years later), of course I saw his FA Cup goal and then played football afterwards but I...

Phil, Bob, Ben and Dan: This Could be Beautiful

No this isn't the flowerpot men. Let's not beat around the bush here, I've been fairly vocal on Twitter about Liverpool potentially signing Christian Benteke for £32.5million. Deep down I fully expected Aston Villa to cave in and accept a reduced offer and for Liverpool fans to celebrate that as a success. However that wasn't to...

How the Bookmakers Expect Liverpool to Perform in the 2015/16 Season

So far Liverpool has enjoyed a busy off-season, a summer that could be a truly defining one for Brendan Rogers. The football machine has hardly stopped from whirring on Anfield as the Reds have confirmed six signings so far and more prospects are to come. The 2014/2015 season was a tough one, but this...

Liverpool FC Summer Holiday – Scouting the Serie A

As it’s the summer time the writers at Anfield Index are starting a new Summer Holiday series! Today we have a scouting report of players in Italy. To make this article a bit more interesting, this piece will look at players who: Play in Serie A Are of Italian nationalities Are aged 25 or under at the time of...

Have Liverpool Bought the Goals they need with Benteke?

News broke on Thursday afternoon that Liverpool were going to meet the release clause for Christian Benteke. The prayers of many had been answered. Liverpool are buying 'goals'. That basic narrative had been pushed for a while now. "If Liverpool had a striker last season that scored we'd have finished top 4." Football isn't that basic...

Year 4 Really is Brendan’s Year 3

So much has been written and said since Liverpool's 2014/15 season petered out with the abysmal 6-1 away defeat to Stoke City that it's hard not to cover old ground. Much of it was targeted at Brendan Rodgers and how he should pay for the disappointment by losing his job, after all Brendan had said...

The Sterling sale, is this the (new) Liverpool way?

Raheem Sterling split the opinion of an already divided fan base. The divide started at the beginning of the 2014/2015 season. The belief we had in 2013/2014 was taken apart, piece by piece, as the stars of that team left, one by one, and the loss of identity happened at an alarming rate. Brendan...

Manquillo vs Flanagan | A Statistical Comparison

Are some fans biased? With the emerging news of Javier Manquillo’s untimely departure, the question is, are some of us wrongfully in favour of non-foreign imports? In consideration of a recent article from the Liverpool ECHO in which they got fans to vote for players they would like to keep or sell, I will examine...

The Wildcard – Divock Origi

Amidst a congregation of voices and accumulation of opinions regarding the way in which Liverpool tackle the upcoming 2015/16 season; one which looks increasingly difficult with every rival reinforcement, much disputation has been given to the area up the front of the pitch, the one where Liverpool fans have both been spoiled and agitated...

Lessons from Sterling Saga: Pay Coutinho What he’s Worth

So the talented but petulant Sterling and his agent are gone from the building. We have in exchange a whopping £49 million and one less trouble. But this is not the time to sleep and gloat. Aside making sure the funds are well spent to improve the team it is time to ensure that...

Is this the end for Mario?

One suspects that Mario Balotelli gazed upon Roberto Firmino with the green eyes of envy as the Brazilian attacker was cited as Liverpool’s newest saviour following a £29 million move from Hoffenheim in June. After a disappointing 2014-15, The Reds remain among the outsiders for a top four finish this time around. Brendan Rodgers had...

Heroes of our Past: Xabi Alonso

In the summer of 2004, there was a renaissance underway at Anfield.  Liverpool replaced Gerard Houllier with a new man on the touchline in former Valencia manager, Rafa Benitez. Freshly off his second La Liga title in only three seasons at the Mestalla, the Spaniard was set to bring a winning mentality and tenacity...

Liverpool FC Summer Holiday – Scouting in Brazil

Charles Aránguiz - Internacional Charles Aránguiz was part of Chile’s triumphant Copa America squad, helping his country to victory on home soil alongside the likes of Arturo...

Brendan Rodgers and Young Players

I was listening to one of our new signings last week giving his views on the club and manager. I tend not to listen to these interviews conducted by the club press department as they can sometimes sound like incessant propaganda you might hear from North Korea, but one line made me think. “The...

Heroes of our Past: Peter Beardsley

It was the World Cup in Mexico 1986, I was at home watching on tv, I believe it was England v Poland and my attention was taken by this awkward looking guy up front; I was mesmerised by him, dribbling past opponents and picking out the passes. I wanted to know his name and...

Bobby Adekanye in Profile: Not Another Wonderkid

Apparently he's a wonderkid, he's the next Arjen Robben, he's a future superstar. But actually for most Liverpool fans, he's an unknown. He may have brought the 'wonderkid' title with him, but the 16-year-old's off-field drama has attracted almost as much attention as his touted talents. Full name: Habeeb Omobolaji Adekanye Age: 16 Birthdate: February 14th, 1999. Position: Left-sided...

Battle Keepy Ups | Watch Sterling vs Markovic & Coutinho Vs Ibe

The Redmen TV, in collaboration with Vauxhall Football present Liverpool FC players Phillippe Coutinho, Raheem Sterling, Jordon Ibe and Lazar Markovic facing up to another RMTV skill challenge: Battle Keepy Ups! The players face off against each other, doing keepy ups with the classic, school yard "fly away" football. The twist is that they have to fight,...

Jordan Henderson: Captain – No Longer In Waiting

News has just been released officially that Jordan Henderson has indeed been appointed as the captain of Liverpool Football Club, four years after his move to Liverpool, and more importantly three years after he was on the verge of being sold to Fulham as part exchange for Clint Dempsey. This, in summary defines Jordan...

Heroes of the Past: Fernando Torres

This is not my first article on Fernando Torres on this site. I had written one when he played at Anfield during the Steven Gerrard testimonial some time back. You can read that piece here. As you can see, I am a huge fan of Torres; a Torres fanatic would sound a bit more apt...

Lazar Markovic: The hipster Milan Baros

Have you all managed to stop laughing? It took me a while too but I'm serious, that really is the opinion of a select few muppets on Twitter who are eager to write off the young Serbian. I know what you're thinking. It's an easy comparison to make what with both being strikers, right? Oh, no,...

The Centre Back Conundrum – Rodgers Must Settle for Consistency

Even after spending over £110m on player recruitment last summer it looked as though Brendan Rodgers was never sure of what his best XI was. More often than not he seemed desperate to justify the validity of those acquisitions that was displayed by his decision to stick with Dejan Lovren even though it was...
