Liverpool Vs Spurs: The Key Battles this Weekend

Liverpool play Spurs this weekend, with each club in pursuance of varying ambitions in the league this season. Spurs are in the chase for the title, and hence this game becomes a must-win for Spurs. Liverpool are faintly in contention for a top 4 place, which took a beating after the 'defeat-from-the-jaws-of-victory' against Southampton....

Mario Götze, a Perfect Reunion?

As soon as Jürgen Klopp arrived at Liverpool FC, various newspapers posed the question, 'Which former players from Klopp's Dortmund team would he attempt to sign?', Liverpool have been linked with Ílkay Gündogan, Marco Reus and Neven Subotić, but most recently there have been reports of a summer move for Mario Götze on the cards;...

A Look at the Liverpool Defence

After yet another Liverpool capitulation, this time a 3-2 loss against Southampton, there has been copious amounts of finger pointing with regards to what went wrong and who is at fault for the result. Martin Skrtel was a standout performer for the home side as they turned around a 2-0 half time deficit. He gifted...

Robbie Fowler: God Amongst Men

According to one of its definitions on www.dictionary.com, a God is: ‘One of several deities, especially a male deity, presiding over some portion of worldly affairs.’ – A worldy affair, for example, of bringing joy the world over. A deity, I didn’t know, is defined as: ‘Divine character or nature, especially that of the Supreme Being.’  -...

Daniel Sturridge is Priceless, Selling Him would be Foolish

In Premier League history Daniel Sturridge ranks fourth when you look at goal involvement per minutes on the pitch. Yet there are a large portion of Liverpool fans that want to sell him and he's nowhere near his peak. Since the inception of the Premier League in 1992 many great strikers have graced it. The likes...

Liverpool In Transition… Again

It seems to be the constant posture Liverpool Football Club has found itself in since circa 1992.  We are always “in transition”, always going through changes, always waiting for players to be bedded in, always looking for the deadwood to be shipped out. After our 2013/14 season, where we so nearly brought the title home,...

Leandro Paredes – Klopp’s New Kapellmeister?

Simply translated, "Kapellmeister", is a German word used to describe a musician in charge of music-making. Nowadays in Germany, Kapellmeister is considered as the Director or conductor of the orchestra. That's what Leandro Paredes represents at Empoli. When the music or in this case football is played right and beautifully at Stadio Carlo Castellani...

Should Benteke be baffled by Klopp’s treatment?

It seems frustration has got the better of Liverpool striker Christian Benteke after he spoke out about his lack of playing time under Jurgen Klopp. Speaking to Belgian publication Sport/Voetbalmagazine the Liverpool no.9 said - 'When your coach says he wanted to take you to Dortmund and a little later you sit at the same...

Captain Hendo: Civil War

When Dalglish pursued and finally signed a young Jordan Henderson, a few days shy of turning 21 years of age on the 9th of June 2011, many amongst the Liverpool faithful were very hopeful. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Liverpool had only just emerged from the toxic...

Liverpool, Consistency and the Pecking Order

During this season I’ve written quite a bit about its seemingly endless twists and turns, the high points, and on the back of the latest bump in the road that sent the Liverpool wagon spinning off the rails, the occasional lows. It’s to be expected of course. New manager, new tactical masterplan, players signed for...

Jurgen Klopp’s tactical tweaks

As stated before kick-off, a 2-0 score line is a dangerous one. It's one that could cause a lot of teams, and managers, a limbo like problem. Should you attack or defend? Stick or twist? It's a favourable position to be in but potentially one of the worst ones to have psychologically. At 1-0...

Could West Ham save Christian Benteke from nightmare at Liverpool?

With rumours swirling that West Ham United are interested in signing Christian Benteke during the transfer window in the summer. If the rumours are true the Hammers are looking to offload injury prone Andy Carroll and replace him with the Belgian forward. One major stumbling block that will need to be resolved is the huge wages he...

Illustrating Liverpool’s Pressing vs Southampton

We've been collecting Pressing Stats since 2013 on Anfield Index and after watching Southampton beat Liverpool at St Mary's I expected an easier time when manually collecting these pressing stats. It was a close run thing Liverpool pressed more than they did against Crystal Palace but Southampton had much more of the ball than Palace...

Tactical Autopsy of the loss to Southampton

Liverpool's disappointing loss to Southampton was the definition of a game of two halves. The first half was a Jurgen Klopp masterclass. The Reds were like a Duracell bunny in the first half; first to second balls, pressing Southampton before they reached the Liverpool half and devastating when transitioning defence into attack. The second...

The Case for Alberto Moreno

It wasn’t too long ago that Alberto Moreno was plying his trade in his native homeland, winning battles on Sevilla’s left flank as they stormed their way to a Europa League championship. Highly regarded during season 2013/14, Brendan Rodgers’ most prominent, and important season at the helm of a Luis Suarez-less Liverpool FC would...

Captaincy Candidates – Part One: Jordan Henderson

For 12 years, the presence of Steven Gerrard ensured that, of all the problems that Liverpool faced, finding a captain was never an issue. Add to that the presence of stalwarts like Jamie Carragher, Sami Hyypia and Xabi Alonso, and it is not difficult to understand why leadership was never an issue. But when Gerrard...

Observations from the bottle job against Southampton

Liverpool's first loss inside of 90 minutes since the start of February was hard to swallow. It's hard to really put into words how disappointing that second half performance was after such an impressive first half. The second half was shit. A big pile of steaming shit with a Martin Skrtel on top. For Liverpool fans...

It’s a Bird… It’s a Plane… No! It’s Super Can

Emre Can put in a man of the match performance under the lights of Old Trafford on Thursday night and in doing so cemented his place in the hearts and minds of the Liverpool faithful. Our very own Turkish delight dominated the midfield with a brilliant performance entrenched with power, pace and technical quality...

Liverpool v Dortmund: A Dream Draw

It was written in the stars, with an almost certain inevitability to it, that Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund would be drawn together in the Europa League quarter-finals. For Jürgen Klopp and everyone associated with Dortmund it is a very emotional tie; you only have to look back at his final game at the Westfalenstadion...

Getting the League title to Anfield: a £200m project?

“You could say they need to spend £ 100m, but where does that get you in today’s market? If they are going to have a real go it needs to be more like £ 200m….”  Alan Hansen I admire Hansen for what he helped the club achieve but he will find that even Klopp for...

A Comprehensive Analysis of Ian Ayre’s Liverpool Legacy

On Monday, Ian Ayre announced that he will step down as Liverpool’s CEO at the end of the 2016/17 season. The reaction amongst Liverpool fans was understandably uncertain: Ian Ayre manages to simultaneously give off the aura of a childish buffoon and a competent professional. Given the announcement and the emotional ambiguity felt towards...

All Aboard The Lovren Bandwagon

Hands up if you were one of the fans who jumped feet first on to the "Lovren is shit" bandwagon? Hands up if you are one of the fans who would be at the front of the bandwagon organising the Lovren is shit chorus? Who could blame you right? For nearly eighteen months of...

Observations from Liverpool’s draw against Manchester United

A 1-1 draw was enough to see Liverpool progress to the quarter-finals of the Europa League. There was so much talk pre-match from Manchester United boss, Louis Van Gaal, that they only needed two goals and missing midfielder, Ander Herrera, mentioned how the grass was better at Old Trafford, therefore you would see a...

Man United v Liverpool: Key Battles to look out for

Liverpool take a healthy two goal lead into the Europa League second leg against Manchester United, but can be rest assured that things won't be easy at Old Trafford, as the Old Enemy will look to pull all straps to ensure that they knock the Reds out of contention for their last piece of...

Liverpool FC – Make me a Believer

There’s this word that I’ve always liked called schadenfreude; it’s a German word that has become quite popularly recognised amongst English speakers. The word essentially means sour grapes, but schadenfreude sounds so much better than sour grapes and I’ll admit feeling schadenfreude towards Manchester United. As a Liverpool fan of over 30 years, it...

The 2nd Leg – Is This Liverpool’s Biggest Game in Ten Years?

Manchester United fans seem to think the tie is over. Liverpool fans are spending their time debating how many goals they'll win by. It's a surreal scenario if you're of a certain age. The first thought is to assume the pressure is on Manchester United ahead of the match on Thursday but if anything...

Manchester United vs Liverpool: Europa League Preview

It could be said that taking a 2-0 home lead into the away leg of any European tie can give a team great confidence. However, the same might not be said of a fanbase, as Liverpool supporters pray that their side doesn't let their impressive Anfield performance slip, as they visit Old Trafford to...

Tactical decisions for Klopp ahead of the United game

"A 2-0 lead is a dangerous score line." It may be a cliche statement but it's correct. It's the score line that gives a team a sense of security. It's this sense of security that means teams instinctively sit back and invite pressure onto them hoping to hit them on the counter and sealing the...

Liverpool Squad Analysis, Part Three: The Forwards

Public perception over Liverpool's forward line has changed drastically from the start of the season; Danny Ings and Christian Benteke started fairly well, whilst Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino struggled, as Daniel Sturridge looked on from the sidelines. Fast forward to late October, where Ings had been ruled out for the season, Benteke was...
