After a series of games in which one team opened themselves up to be spatially exploited, and two decided to sit tight and deep, Leicester offered a new and different challenge to those Liverpool have already faced this season. Leicester were far more aggressive than previous opponents, but the game was largely characterised by...
With Liverpool having one of the most feared attacks in Europe for the past season, we are seeing more and more teams sit back and defend deep against us. Although the past season has seen us improve in the way we play against these type of sides there are still too many occasions when...
"I was really looking forward to seeing Fernando playing with Suarez." - Kenny Dalglish, The King and AI, episode 2
Weren't we all...
As an outsider to the inner machinations of the club, no matter how big of a fan you are, it's very rare to get a chance to get the full, unabridged, unaltered story. But...
Naby Keita, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Fabinho and Gini Wijnaldum. Seven midfielders, all of whom are justified in thinking themselves worthy of a starting position in the Liverpool line-up.
Had you asked many fans which of the above would be looking for a club over the summer, the betting would suggest...
Ron Burgundy had three vulnerabilities in life... women, his dog Baxter, and the fact that he would read whatever was on the teleprompter. Our manager has a similar tick. If Jordan Henderson is available, he'll put him on the team sheet. It didn't matter that Emre Can was miles better. ...
7. The number of combined league games lost by Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade Crvena Zvezda last season.
91. The number of points Napoli picked up in Serie A last season.
108. The number of league goals scored by PSG last season.
0. The number of fucks you should give, I'm giving or Jurgen Klopp...
I must confess that I was amongst those potentially frustrated when Liverpool decided not to spend big money on a left-back last summer, instead plumping for Hull’s Andy Robertson. However, once I did some digging on Robbo, as I have several friends who support Hull, the overwhelming response was that it was a very...
A 4th goal for Mane and a first for Firmino ensured Liverpool came away with 3 points from the King Power Stadium. Liverpool were under tremendous pressure in the second half, not helped by their goalkeeper's penchant to dribble.
The key observations from the win today.
Disjointed Midfield
Klopp made a single change to his starting line...
We're only four games into the season but already a familiar narrative has taken hold in the post-match reaction to Liverpool's victories.
Once again, the Reds were far from their best - the furthest from their best they have been, in fact - but they managed to pick up three points, to hold on under...
Liverpool moved to four wins from four Premier League games as they just about did enough to see off Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. But what were the key stats from the Reds’ 2-1 tricky away win?
Historic Reds Off To Special Start
After games like this one, it can help to look at...
Every season we band about how ‘it’s our year.' Liverpool will finally land that elusive Premier League title, surging to the top with Jurgen Klopp’s scintillating philosophy of football. Things never really pan out that way, though.
This year feels different mind you. The Reds now have the depth of quality; Shaqiri, Lallana, Sturridge and...
The wait is finally over and Liverpool now know who they’ll face in the group stages of the Champions League as they hope to reach another European final.
Drawn in Group C, Klopp’s side find themselves alongside Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade in one of the toughest groups of the competition while Manchester...
When Roberto Firmino was denied by Mat Ryan in Saturday's gritty 1-0 win over Brighton, a nagging thought entered my mind immediately.
"He's still looking for his first goal of the season", I thought, knowing full well where the current narrative is slowly heading towards Liverpool's brilliant Brazilian, rather than being worried about his form.
The...
A mere 3 games into a highly anticipated new season and Liverpool sit atop the Premier League table. While it's still early days, with the integration of new players underway, it's extremely satisfying to see the club hit maximum points thus far. 9 points, zero goals conceded, firing at probably only 60-70% of our true level....
The Premier League is back and in full swing, and what a time it is to be a Liverpool fan: three wins out of three, zero goals conceded, the team are playing some great football - and United are struggling which just makes life that bit sweeter.
Wins against Brighton, West Ham and Crystal Palace...
Three games, nine points, no goals conceded, top of the league.
And we’re not even playing that well. West Ham, aside we haven’t quite been at our swashbuckling best. Firmino is yet to score and, if viewed objectively, we’ve had to hang on a bit in our last two games so we’re not quite at...

Claude Puel's men have made a steady start to their campaign. They were unfortunate to come away from Old Trafford with nothing on the opening night of the Premier League season. Since...
Liverpool’s £75m capture of Virgil van Dijk made him the most expensive defender in the world. Of course, eyebrows were raised left, right and centre given the size of such an investment; a good defender for Southampton but one worthy of such an outlay? Outsiders weren’t particularly convinced.
Fast forward to the present and the...
Having spent £40m on Fabinho this summer, some fans would’ve expected him to come straight into the starting eleven and offer a blanket to the back-four we’ve not seen since the days of Javier Mascherano.
Crunching into tackles and feeding the ball to his teammates higher up the pitch, his inclusion would bring Liverpool to...
Three games in, and Liverpool’s start to the Premier League campaign has been impressive, if not necessarily electrifying. The Reds started explosively against West Ham, but in the following two games, against Palace away and Brighton at home, Liverpool have relied more on a strong and stable defensive base than their typical vibrant attacking...
Think of yourself as a Liverpool super-fan? See how many of these facts are news to you as we separate the fanatics from the bandwagon jumpers!
Anfield was originally the home of Everton, but they fell out with the owners over the rent they were being charged and moved to Goodison Park in 1891....
After just three appearances for Liverpool, Naby Keita has captured the hearts and minds of Reds supporters. The 23-year-old midfielder already has his own song, a re-hashing of the 2005 chant reserved for Rafa Benitez. An impressive start to the season from him and his teammates has ensured that Liverpool are now just 5/2...
A disclaimer before I begin: I’m a Michael Owen fan.Â
I’m of an age that means that I was just starting to be aware of football, and starting to play football when Owen was at his peak. The first football match I can ever remember seeing on TV? Germany vs England, in Munich. He was...
It's hard to ignore the presence of Virgil Van Dijk at Liverpool FC. Looking past a 14 stone 6 ft 3 man-mountain is a challenge in itself, but the world record £75 million fee drew the attention of anyone and everyone with an interest in football.
Against Crystal Palace, Van Dijk was awarded the Man...
In Anfield Index Pro's newest podcast, The King and AI, Sir Kenny Dalglish made his podcasting debut in what may be the first episode of a new series. This podcast is set up to support, fundraise, and raise awareness of the Marina Dalglish Appeal, an organisation made to aid sufferers of breast cancer, and we...
Thomas Muller is a peculiar footballer. The zany German is known for his aloof attitude, general mischievous behaviour, his pranks on Bayern teammates and his excellent Kermit the frog impression, once even feigning a phone call with his passport held to his ear to avoid speaking to the press. The man is a genius.
His...
On the final game of the 2017/18 season, Liverpool romped to a 4-0 victory against Brighton, but this time around, Chris Hughton was determined for the type of game and result to be completely different to the preceding meeting between the two sides.
Brighton set up in a 4-5-1 off ball formation. In recent games,...
Liverpool went back to the top of the Premier League with a tense but richly deserved 1-0 win over a stubborn Brighton side at Anfield. But what were the key stats from the Reds’ third win – and third clean sheet – in three games?
De-Fence, De-Fence
Did I mention the three clean sheets in three...
Another match, another battle, another clean sheet. On first observation, this one looked to have come with quite a bit more effort than the previous two; Palace and West Ham. After City dropped two points to Wolves, this match took on massive importance. Liverpool will need to get used to playing with the pressure...
