What’s the plan for Flanagan? – Injury, Clyne & the Future

Under King Kenny in 2011, two young full-backs were given their first appearances for Liverpool in the Premier League. Whilst Jack Robinson, the club’s second youngest player to make an appearance, failed to live up to expectation and has since been sold to QPR, the other debutant is still at the club. Now 22,...

A Solid Spine Would Do Liverpool Just Fine!

I’ve watched a lot of football over the best part of nearly 20 years and I’ve seen some great sides, some played beautiful expansive football, whilst others adopted a more defensive approach where they’d be ruthless on the counter attack. I’ve witnessed so many great managers and tacticians orchestrate various formations such as 4-5-1,...

Jonjo Shelvey – The One That Got Away?

After Jonjo Shelvey's man of the match performance for England against San Marino on Saturday, I can't help but wonder whether Liverpool let him go a little bit too soon. When Liverpool signed 18 year old midfielder Jonjo Shelvey from Charlton Athletic in May 2010 for £1.7 million, it quickly became apparent that Liverpool had...

Are Liverpool still too reliant on Daniel Sturridge?

Eight new signings, near £90 million spent and it took a mere 4 games before it all started, yet again. "When Daniel Sturridge returns we'll start smashing teams." "We're just lacking Sturridge now, then we'll be putting teams away." Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Scrolling through Twitter I felt like I'd seen all of this before. I...

Skrtel and Lovren Costing Liverpool More Than Just Goals

In some clubs central defensive pairings form the basis of championship winning seasons. But the Skrtel and Lovren hardly gives a platform for even a top four challenge. The three clean sheets of the season while welcome, should not deceive anyone. They have serious defects with their individual games and their pairing. Clean sheets...

For the Love of the Game!

As far back as I can remember I've loved football. As a child, it was playing Sunday League, Five a side, Headers and Volley's and no matter the weather, I'd always take hours of pleasure practising Keepie Uppies in the garden. I'd play anytime and anywhere, all I needed was something to kick; whether...

Emre Can: German Starter, Liverpool Bench?

Emre Can is a bit of an enigma to some Liverpool fans. They just can't understand the furore that surrounds the Liverpool number 23. I've seen plenty of fans say he's overweight, unfit, slow, poor positionally and a hindrance to the team. Bold claims considering the natural centre-midfielder has played that role a mere...

Top Four Things That Didn’t Happen in Liverpool’s Transfer Window

Another crazy summer draws to a close. Gone are the rumours. Gone are the ITK's putting one and one into two. Gone are the mornings where one would scramble for his or her smartphone to catch up on what happened in the transfer window. As soon as it's transfer season, fans go nuts about the...

Brendan Rodgers, FSG and the Net Spend Myth

Let's be honest here, Liverpool fans are rarely content. The highs of 2013/14 wet our appetite for what could be and many have failed to readjust their expectations since. A club with as much prestige as Liverpool should be challenging for the title year in and year out but for various reasons we aren't...

Too Much Change? How High Player Turnover Affects League Performance

The optimism around Liverpool’s 2015 summer transfer window is not without due: a decent calibre of players arrived all well before the competitive fixtures kicked off, and there was an excellent attempt to rid the squad of its deadwood. The optimism was only marginally dampened by the losses of Gerrard and Sterling; but poor...

The Fans’ Verdict on Liverpool’s Summer Transfer Business

Liverpool fans rarely agree with something as a collective. Nobody is alike so it's obvious opinions will differ. I could write an article summarising how I thought the transfer window went for Liverpool but plenty of others are doing that so I decided to ask different people what they thought of our business. There...

Anfield Index Fantasy Football Show Extra – Deadline Day Picks

The transfer window is over, Premier League squads have been submitted, time for a bit of consistency in the Premier League? Right? Probably not but one thing is for certain and that is Gameweek 5 will see several new faces take the to field for their new teams but will any of the last...

Liverpool’s Subs vs. West Ham – A Tactical Assessment

Your team is down by two goals (in embarrassing fashion, no less). The system and tactics, if any, are hardly clicking. The personnel have not fully, truly settled into the game. The home support roar as they demand more from their beloved club, yet over in the opposition’s end, they rightfully cheer. In football, when...

Liverpool’s 2014 Summer Signings – One Year On

Believe it or not, quite a few Liverpool fans were pretty content with the club’s business as the transfer window closed a year ago. Yes, we were all still mourning the departure of Luis Suarez, but Liverpool showed plenty of intent by spending £117m on nine new players as they looked to build a...

Ranking Liverpool’s Summer Transfer Business

Well, the international break is sadly upon us and Liverpool, alongside the rest of the Premier League, are four games deep into their long season. Four games sounds like a reasonable time to take stock so the international break will probably be welcomed by many managers who are completing last minute checks on their...

The More Things Change, the More they Stay the Same for Liverpool FC

Seven points from three games represented an excellent start to the new season for Liverpool Football Club and, its embattled manager, Brendan Rodgers. A battling if blunt display against Stoke, followed by an unconvincing showing against Bournemouth had delivered 6 points from 6, before the Reds turned in an impressive display away at the...

It Is Not All Bad For Liverpool Football Club

Saturday morning, the buzz around Liverpool Football Club was huge; if we were to win vs West Ham United we would be on 10 points from 12 without a single league defeat. The game was seen as a huge opportunity to go into the international break on a massive high. Unfortunately, a poor performance...

The Trouble With Anfield… Is Me

‘The word fanatic has been used many times. I think it’s more than fanaticism. It’s a religion to them. The thousands who come here come to worship, it’s a sort of shrine, it isn’t a football ground.’ – Bill Shankly Makes you think, doesn’t it? Last season, I took my niece to her first ever Liverpool...

Brendan Rodgers – That Familiar Feeling, Dejan Vu

The scars of 2014/2015 season had not even healed properly just yet but West Ham showed a complete lack of disregard to this fact when they faced the Reds at Anfield, coming away 3-0 victors. Old wounds have been reopened and the window is no longer open so Liverpool aren't able to buy another...

What Does Markovic’s Loan Move Tell Us?

So Lazar to Fenerbache is done. The move irks anyone who believes the Serb has talent that should have been managed to blossom for Liverpool’s benefits. But to see him being paraded as the evidence of failure of last summer’s recruitment by some journalists is preposterous. He may have cost a fortune but his...

Daniel Sturridge: Must Only Return When It’s Right

Following on from some recent speculated reports in the press, Liverpool FC released photos of Daniel Sturridge back in light training at Melwood, as the striker continues his rehabilitation from injury. He underwent hip surgery in the United States back in May and had begun his rehabilitation there. Pictures were circulated of Sturridge running...

Same Old Brendan, But It’s Really FSG’s Fault

Before I start let me premise this article by saying I know its only four games into the new season. I accept there are injuries and some new players to fully settle into the squad/club. It’s early days and none of the big clubs, bar Manchester City, have had a good start and there’s...

Rafa vs Rodgers – Comparing Their First Three Years

Brendan has just begun his fourth season as manager and his first three years have been full of great expectations with limited success. It is hard to pinpoint exactly how well Rodgers has performed whilst in charge. In three seasons under Rodgers, the Reds have finished in 7th, 2nd and 6th, with two cup semi-finals...

Did Jordon Ibe Need a Loan Move More Than Markovic?

Realism and fantasy are often blurred when casting judgement over a player that plays for your club. In a quixotic world Jordon Ibe would be a starter, he'd be single handedly winning games and we as fans would be laughing at the fact Manchester City paid £49 million for an inferior player. In the...

Five Observations From Liverpool’s Defeat to West Ham

Football never fails to surprise me. Only five days ago the Reds put in a monumental team effort against Arsenal to pick up a well deserved point, with many thinking we were unlucky not to come away with more. Today we have been embarrassed at Anfield against a side who hadn't won here in...

Liverpool 0 – West Ham United 3: Player Ratings

Liverpool suffered a shocking home defeat against West Ham United, their first home loss of the season. Liverpool were severely lacking in all departments of the game and suffered a deserved loss. Simon Mignolet - 5  When it comes, it comes by the truckloads. Mignolet conceded his first goals of the season as the defence...

The Importance Of Emre Can

Emre Can is not just a classy beast with magnificent hair or one of those people with a certain magnetic charisma about them, but he could also be a very influential player for Liverpool this season and hopefully, many more to come. Prior to the Arsenal game, Brendan Rodgers spoke of a need to "dominate the space"...

A Day in the Life of…

It’s been three years and more now since I got the job. The weight of expectations from the company is heavy indeed. Upper management have been proven to be ruthless with the other departments so far, particularly with my counterparts back at Headquarters in Boston, the company’s home soil. Well, they did headhunt me...

Why Liverpool Should Take the Europa League Seriously

The Europa League. It's a competition that splits opinion. Nothing new amongst the Liverpool fan base but belittling a European competition is a new one to me. Many fans this season want Liverpool to concentrate on the Premier League and try to finish in the top 4. It's admirable, but is it realistic? Will Liverpool...

Liverpool v West Ham Preview | Predicted Line-Ups and Facts

Seven not-so-pretty points in Liverpool’s first three matches is a promising start.  The new signings are starting to gel with the rest of the team.  Six new faces in the first XI and a new formation have created a different atmosphere at the beginning of this season, and the train of success doesn’t seem...
