Player Comparison: James Milner vs Jordan Henderson

A lot of people on Twitter seem to believe that James Milner and Jordan Henderson offer nothing to a football team other than athleticism. Both can run forever and neither of them would ever quit before the game was up. Both are model professionals and both have their own charities to match, giving them...

5 Realistic (and better) alternatives to Christian Benteke for Liverpool FC

The Christian Benteke link doesn't seem to want to go away and whilst right now I feel as though it's Villa pushing to sell him, I can't shake the feeling come the last week of the window we'll throw an extraordinary bid in for him and make him the 'marquee' signing. Many, and I mean...

Brendan Rodgers’ xFactor Moment

"You can tell he wants the job though" Oh really? You're telling me Brendan Rodgers wants one of the biggest jobs in world football? Shit, well if he wants it I guess he should be the manager, yeah... That was one of the reasons fans used when the news broke that Brendan Rodgers had survived the...

The Seven Deadly Sins That Plague Liverpool FC

It was a far from perfect season to say the least. Some could argue that it was a combination of poor signings, tactical naivety and injuries that were the downfall of Liverpool Football Club. All of which are valid arguments. However, I can't help but wonder how you can go from finishing 2nd to 6th in...

Rodgers and the Committee; Friends with Benefits?

The much maligned 'duo' of Brendan Rodgers and the Liverpool transfer committee have taken much criticism over the past 12 months. To summarise it, the Liverpool fan base is pretty much divided by which side of the fence you take refuge on. Are you someone who sympathises with Brendan Rodgers having to find room in...

Liverpool FC: Cutting Our Losses

A financial analysis of LFC’s 2014-2015 transfers This article looks at Liverpool’s transfer activity last summer and asks whether it is financially viable to cut our losses on certain players who have flattered to deceive and how selling such players could potentially impact the club’s purchasing power for the upcoming transfer window. As the curtain falls...

FSG and Brendan Rodgers: Back to the drawing board!

The news emerging in the last 12 hours (at the time of writing) saw Brendan Rodgers being given the vote of confidence by the people who matter, Fenway Sports Group. This ideally puts to rest the anxiety of 'will he stay/will he not' debate amongst the fan base and whether in agreement or not,...

Lazar Can Be Class, He Needs Games and Patience

The players Liverpool failed to sign-a striker to replace Suarez, a better centre-back and a good defensive midfielder-among other factors led to the club’s miserable season. However LFC’s future may well be defined by some of the young players they signed last summer. One such player is Lazar Markovic. As the club struggled and...

Brendan Rodgers: Win (back) the Crowd

I’m a big fan of applying movie quotes to aspects of everyday life. I have a Mean Girls reference for almost any situation. This seemed like as good a time as any to quote the 2000 classic Gladiator. “Win the crowd and you will win your freedom”. With Brendan Rodgers set to remain Liverpool manager for...

Rodgers: From Bold & Ballsy to Beaten & Broken & Back Again

Brendan Rodgers has been given another chance and it's one he has to grab with both hands. When Brendan took over 3 years ago it wasn't so much to a chorus of fan fares and celebration from the fan base, it was more of a quiet contemplation. Not widely known outside of Swansea, Reading and...

Time for a Change, time for a Director of Football

This season Rodgers remarked that he had limited time to coach the team on the training ground due to more games. This should have been an invitation for FSG to step in and implement an idea they wanted all along: a Director of Football. This wouldn't take any credibility away from Rodgers. If anything it...

Three Bosman’s Liverpool Should Absolutely Sign This Summer

It's no secret that Liverpool aren't a financial superpower on the same level as Manchester City and Manchester United. The Mancunian club is an Arab Kingdom of an organisation with a country bankrolling them to major honour after major honour. Meanwhile, the Salford club are a legitimate self-created powerhouse with sponsorship deals and worldwide...

Final Boarding for Liverpool Flight 15-16 to Europa League

“Thursday nights on Channel 5, Thursday nights on Channel 5” a song that has rung around English grounds for years mocking those clubs who partake in Europe’s secondary competition. First of all, it’s on ITV now but more importantly why is the competition so frowned upon by English football fans? The format? The clubs...

‘Can’ we all just appreciate Emre?

Regarded by most as Liverpool’s best signing from the 2014 summer transfer window, Emre Can has made a promising start to his Anfield career. The midfielder has played the majority of his games at right-sided centre-back of a three, instead of a more familiar role further up the field, because of Rodgers’ attempt to...

Poor Defending Weakens Rodgers’ “Mitigating Factor” Argument

A year ago Liverpool fans were dreaming of a promising young manager - Brendan Rodgers - who was going to get better with time and bring success to the club. He evoked comparison with Bill Shankly, the legendary Liverpool coach. A year on, fans are not so sure he's anywhere near a reincarnation of...

Change – for Stability – is Required at Liverpool

I’ve had the distinct honour and privilege to be invited onto the panel of Anfield Index’s own Nina Kauser Show this season. Being part of such a popular call in show immediately after a defeat can be tough, with emotions very raw. Sometimes that can exact reactions that, with the benefit of hindsight and...

Mario Balotelli makes it into a dream team… well | Infographic

I know what you're thinking, what kind of a dream team could Mario Balotelli make it into for Liverpool? Who on earth would select Mario after his performances this season to be in their dream team? I mean let's take a look at his numbers since joining Liverpool Football Club. One goal scored in the Premier...

No Change Means More Pain for Liverpool!

It has been a while since I have penned my thoughts. I have read so many articles and blogs from my fellow reds on our poor season and Brendan Rodgers’ failings this season. I have tried not to jump to any firm conclusions without taking the time to form my own opinions and thoughts....

A Review of the Liverpool Defence

A statistical review of goals conceded A disappointing season came to an abrupt end against Stoke with a defensive performance that made my Sunday league side look as solid as Chelsea. Yet in the aftermath of the defeat it seems the popular consensus is the attack is the main reason we didn't finish top 4 this...

Change is not an Option for Liverpool, it is the Only Way

In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was the King of Ephyra (now known as Corinth) who was punished for hubris. According to author John Stoessinger (The Might of Nations 1993) Sisyphus was “condemned by the gods forever to exact his entire being towards accomplishing nothing. He was to roll a rock to the top of the...

Liverpool’s Summer Signings Review

Brendan Rodgers and the mysterious Transfer Committee spent over 100 million during the summer of 2014. After selling star-man, Luis Suarez, for a hefty fee no Liverpool fan was too worried. Money had been spent and hopes were high that another title tilt could be launched. Now a season on and expectations have been well...

Edin Dzeko May Go To Liverpool In £50m Deal For Raheem Sterling

It appears that Edin Dzeko may be the crucial factor that brings Raheem Sterling to Manchester. The Bosnian striker is, according to reports, being lined up as make-weight in a deal worth £50m to bring in Sterling. Arsenal is apparently now also putting in a bid, intensifying the battle. Intitially, Manchester City were hopeful they could...

The Fickle Liverpool Fan Base

"The defeat to Stoke was too far. The straw that broke the camel's back. Rodgers out." "He's lost the dressing room. That's humiliation and a team that doesn't back the manager." That was the message that kept appearing on twitter after the loss at Stoke. The two statements show how exaggerated one  persons opinion could be...

The Reasons for Liverpool FC’s Transfer Troubles

It's transfer window time again! The time of year when all football fans get more excited than pre-pubescent girls at a One Direction concert, preempting the latest moves in and around Europe. The buzz is palpable and tensions are high. Obscene amounts of money are exchanged; amounts that would put small countries' economies to...

Liverpool’s Dark Night of the Soul

A few years ago, I spent time on a retreat. No mobile phones, no conversation allowed. Just me, my surroundings and a few books. For the first few days, I enjoyed it. I read the books cover-to-cover, I woke up early and treasured the views of Salamanca. I enjoyed the cool night air which acted...

Steven Gerrard – The Best There Ever Will Be, According To…

There are some lies floating around lately, suggesting that Steven Gerrard is over-rated. Whilst some of the coverage given to his last game at Anfield might have been over the top, and were perhaps something Gerrard himself might have toned down given the choice, the respect he’s been given from his peers and football fans...

“Premier League Proven” Proves NOTHING!

Nothing quite grinds Liverpool fans' gears like the words “Outstanding” or “Character”. However, that doesn’t stop Brendan Rodgers from using them at every opportunity presented to him. The reason why those phrases get fans backs up against the wall is because they’re simply not true. We are not outstanding, haven’t been all season. We...

Liverpool in Limbo

Liverpool are in a perpetual state of limbo. The quip many fans make about "next year being our year" has seen two decades pass without the league title. So much promise yet at the end of it all the club seems to be in a never ending transitional period. Sales of star players has...

Steven Gerrard Deserved Better

A picturesque Anfield, basking in the Mersyside suns' radiance, oh, how it all seemed so befitting for a man who had kept the failing recent light on Mersyside, shining as bright as one man possibly could will it to. As the hallowed Saturday approached, it hadn’t sunk in yet, our leader, our role model,...
