With the recent collapse of the Remy deal, and the subsequent signing of Dejan Lovren (Liverpool’s 7th first team centre-back), there’s hardly a greater time to look at squad depth. An analysis of any squad’s depth can be tricky. A popular rule of thumb would be two players per position, but when I think about...
Moves to help curb the frailties of the Liverpool defence seem to be gathering speed now, as Liverpool seem set to sign Atlético Madrid full back Javi Manquillo on a two year loan, only a matter of days after signing Dejan Lovren.
For some, the name Manquillo will only bring back memories of the horrific...
In just over a fortnight, the Premier League season will be upon us once again. Weekends will assume a deeper meaning, and thoughts of summer holidays and World Cups in far flung lands, will fade hazily into the memory banks, perhaps retrieved and discussed at some later date, when other matters appear less pressing.
Liverpool...
With the Liverpool squad currently touring the United States, I thought it would be a good idea to look into the Guinness International Champions Cup.
This prestigious (if a pre-season kick-about can that) tournament is currently in just its second year after replacing the World Football Challenge twelve months ago, when Real Madrid won. The...

The panel also discussed the Origi signing, Lovren's position, whether Sakho deserves a first team spot, Daniel Agger and why the USA supporters call the...
It’s often said that pre-season friendlies are meaningless money-spinning exercises, which if anything serve only to improve match fitness and sharpness. However, there’s an obvious trend when it comes to Liverpool’s opponents for these warm up games, and some noticeable tactical systems at play even at this early stage. With this in mind, here’s...
A majority of the World Cup stars were back as the Reds kicked off their Guinness International Champions Cup with a 1-0 over Olympiakos thanks to a goal from Raheem Sterling.
The Windy City lived up to its name as Liverpool faced the Greek champions at Soldier Field stadium. You would have been forgiven for...
It has been well documented last season that Liverpool FC has had a helping hand from psychiatrist Dr. Steve Peters. He has helped with the genius the minds of the Liverpool players before demanding games and after mentally vigorous bouts. He was one of the main reasons Steven Gerrard had recovered so promptly from...

Ever since Liverpool signed Mamadou Sakho on deadline day of Summer 2013, Daniel Agger's position at the club has come into question. After all, why would the club spend over £18m on a left-sided centre back if they weren't going to use him as first choice?
So if Agger will be second choice when Sakho...

All isn't lost though as Gags Tandon, Dave Hendrick, Jim Fishlock and Ryan McTrippy save the...
Dreaded yet inevitable, Luis Suarez has finally moved on to La Liga. With the great season last year, it was easy to praise the players for their efforts, and the up and coming campaign is something that everyone is looking forward to. However, now with the star striker departed, do we need to bring...
It is at times required to look back to find focus on what lies ahead. As has been recited in articles, podcasts, and books alike, Liverpool's remarkable achievements last season were unfathomable, especially when one considers the obstacles and interrogations of Rodgers' ability which were met en route.
Unfortunately, many believe 'Brenton Fraudgers' will be...
True football fans - so they say - are born into a team, or if not, then you don't pick your team, your team picks you. A generalised oversimplification, undoubtedly - yet one that will have many nodding gently with agreement or recognition of their own past 'recruitment'. The idea is that this will...
Following defeat in Denmark to Brøndby, next up for Liverpool was a 2-1 win over Preston North End, with goals courtesy of Suso and Kristoph Peterson.
Mirroring the weather we were subjected to in the north west, the first half was a pretty dull affair where no real quality was on show for the supporters...
Liverpool are about to sign Loic Remy, which should ferociously ring your mental bells. They've been consistently linked with him since the 2010/11 season when he scored 15 league goals for Marseille, and the yearly reports of a possible move to Anfield have grown tiresome. We've been here before. But it looks like this...
This summer's transfer window for Liverpool was always going to be an important one in the club's history. Back in the Champions League for the first time in five years feels like a dream, but for our meagre squad it will be a colossal task to compete in all competitions.
Formed after the departure of former...

A little over a month ago I expressed interest in, and was contacted about, the possibility of being on an Anfield Index “International Addition” podcast. I would be representing Liverpool Football Club supporters from the United States. Unfortunately, due to timing and technical problems on my end, I was not even able to “audition”...
I've been thinking about writing something on this for a while, the way transfers work today - or don't in many cases, the seemingly infinite variables and how they differ from those those of yesteryear, and the carefree days of yore - if you believe in all that. There was however an obvious snag,...

Paul talks about The...
In the last few weeks I’ve sensed a real feeling of discontent regarding the calibre of players Liverpool have been linked to, Premiership names such as Wilfried Bony, Loic Remy and not with players like Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain. I've seen a lot of people say things like "The players we have signed...
He's finally gone. Weeks of negotiations have seen the third best player in the world move to Barcelona for £75m. Many have said this is too cheap, especially when you consider the 'less good' Gareth Bale, moved for £80m just last season. However, Bale has never bitten anyone, nor (supposedly) racially abused someone and...
Liverpool arrive yet again at major crossroads in their path to challenge for top honours. Cries of ‘it’s the bigger summer transfer window’ in years are heard around Anfield and social media is in a frenzy over how the proceeds from the impending sale of Luis Suarez should be spent.
Luis Suarez – the day...
You all know the story; Luis Suarez to Barcelona is complete for a rumoured £75 million pounds. The deal has been in the air for weeks as the question of whether Alexis Sanchez would be used as a make-way raged on.
Arsenal came calling and the deal has been done, £35 million will see Alexis...
