Liverpool FC and the Beauty of Being Proven Wrong

Sometimes being wrong is a beautiful thing. I have an admission to make. I’ve been a bit of a tit. I allowed myself to become a judgemental, hypercritical and altogether hard-to-please bastard of previously unseen proportions. I don’t know what it is about this season, but it definitely brought out the worst in me at...

Mahmoud Dahoud, Blaggers and Ignorance

There's a perpetual cycle of bickering when it comes to Liverpool fans on social media that doesn't seem to be nearing an end anytime soon. Some may call it Groundhog Day, others may call it deja-vu. One thing that's for sure is Liverpool fans like to reignite the same arguments almost as though there's...

Liverpool vs Borussia Dortmund – Europa League Preview

Liverpool welcome Borussia Dortmund on Thursday night for the second leg of the Europa League quarter final. The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving it all to play for at Anfield. The First Leg In the first leg of the tie, Liverpool produced a good performance, soaking up sustained periods of pressure from the...

Liverpool FC Footballers & the Scourge of Social Media

In the words of Beyoncé, "Who runs the world?" Not just girls apparently! We all do. Since social media has become a global phenomenon, anyone and everyone's opinion is aired for all to see. What the people of the world have to say on a topical issue, is now readily available for your perusal. It doesn't...

Does Joe Allen Deserve Redemption?

Joe “Jesus” Allen has been a figure of some controversy since joining Liverpool in the summer of 2012 for a figure of £15 million from Swansea. The then 22-year-old impressed in his first Premier League season and the fan base was excited, at least, more excited than the transfer of Fabio Borini. Since then...

Only One Man Could Replace Klopp

See that man pacing the touchline, intensity and focus etched into his brow. See that man tearing from the dugout, leaping and punching a fist through the air. See that man smile and laugh, the gathered masses of the press sat comfortably in the palm of his hand. That man is Jurgen Klopp, and Liverpool will never...

The Liverpool loss that broke my heart and 2 different ways of coping

Okay, let’s be honest: When Liverpool loses; it feels like a personal betrayal. Like your best mate stealing your girlfriend while you’re in hospital after a freak Frisbee accident. It feels both needlessly cruel, and damningly unfair. All you ever did was love and support a footie team with every fiber of your being! ...

How Should We Judge the New Lovren?

Dejan Lovren... He’s improved quite a bit under Klopp, but he’s still a player who divides opinion. There’s even been talk, both on Twitter and from mainstream journalists, that he’s the centre-back Klopp trusts most, and that he’s the one who will partner Matip next season. Not everyone holds this view, however – a competing...

Liverpool 2008/09 – So Close…

How Things Are Different eras connect with different people.  Based upon what was going on in your life at the time - where you lived, who you were dating, where your career was at - you may have so many memories about a period that is simply trivial to others. To this day, if I hear...

Observations from Liverpool’s victory against Stoke

It felt like groundhog day for Liverpool fans, as Bojan headed Stoke level after the Reds had dominated early on and had deservedly taken the lead through a Alberto Moreno stunner. This only seemed to fuel the players as Liverpool ran out 4-1 winners in a game that was all too easy. It was...

Liverpool 4-1 Stoke – Player Ratings

Sandwiched in between two legs of the Europa League quarterfinal against Borussia Dortmund, Stoke City's visit to Anfield could have provided multiple headaches for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool. Instead, it was a dominant display from the Reds, as they turned on the style in a 4-1 defeat of the Potters. Apart from getting the win,...

European Away Daze

Friday 18th March The draw. This is where it really starts. The fabled legend who you can’t quite recall doing something remarkable alongside the official from UEFA reminding you of something from the Eurovision Song Contest. There won’t be any “dooze pwaan” for anyone here, just fate… and possible destiny. By the time the sixth...

The Daniel Sturridge Dilemma

I’ll cut straight to the chase: very few Liverpool players receive bipolar judgments from the Kop, and Daniel Sturridge is no different. “Sell him, keep him; bench him, play him” – the hymn that goes on rhythmically throughout the season without an end in sight. There’s no doubt in my mind that Jürgen Klopp adores...

Match Preview | Liverpool vs Stoke City

Liverpool welcome Stoke City to Anfield on Sunday afternoon, hoping to gain three points to close the gap on the top four. A win would push them above Stoke in the table, and could see them rise to 7th. Jurgen Klopp faced his old club on Thursday night as Liverpool came away with a 1-1...

Analysing Origi’s big performance against Dortmund

When Liverpool's starting XI for their quarter-final was announced the first thing many journalists looked at was the fact star forward Daniel Sturridge was on the bench. You could hear them furiously bashing on their keyboard as they raced against one another to announce that Sturridge was dropped. If a player drops down to...

Functionality is key as Liverpool look to improve this summer

Liverpool fans were infamous for their 'next year will be our year' statement. However, for the past decade, the phrase associated with the fans has slowly morphed into 'Liverpool's summer transfer window is their biggest in years'. The two phrases are of course linked. Fans of the Reds are forever harbouring the belief that...

Joe Gomez – Remember me?

An Unfamiliar Face Last summer I heard we were buying a young, quality defender from Charlton Athletic.  Admittedly, I had never heard of Joe Gomez.  I dug a little deeper to find out who this kid was.  I wanted to know why Liverpool had swooped early to acquire Gomez, reportedly from under the noses of...

Dortmund 1 Liverpool 1: Player Ratings

Liverpool put in a great defensive effort against Dortmund to share the spoils and keep the tie alive. The Reds definitely had the better share of clear cut chances which bodes well for the return leg. This is how they fared. Simon Mignolet (7) - A solid night for the Liverpool keeper as he was at...

Welcome back, Liverpool FC

If one is to type the word, ‘Liverpool’ into a google search, said one will be met with a definition telling you that it’s “a historic maritime city in northwest England, where the River Mersey meets the Irish Sea” - allow me to tell you that this definition is wrong. In reality, a ‘Liverpool’...

The Mad Science of Dr. Franken-Klopp – It’s Alive! … Sort Of

You can see the images now. A slightly disheveled, sleep-deprived, Jürgen Klopp emerges from his office in the middle of the night. The dim lights cast shadows on his maniacal face as His assistant, Mr. Buvac, silently stalks in the background. They both watch on, as lightning strikes and thunder crashes. There in the darkness...

Illustrating Liverpool’s Pressing vs Tottenham

We've been collecting Pressing Stats since 2013 on Anfield Index and after watching Liverpool draw with Spurs at Anfield I expected a really rough time when manually collecting these pressing stats. I wasn't wrong as Liverpool pressed the Londoners 239 times which is the second highest ever collected on AnfieldIndex. Whilst Liverpool will always miss Roberto...

The Three Dortmund Players Liverpool Need to Stop

Borussia Dortmund are up there with the best teams in Europe this season. They're currently only five points behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. That may sound like a big gap but given just how good Bayern have been this season it's some achievement for Dortmund to even be within touching distance as the...

Dortmund vs Liverpool – Europa League Preview

Liverpool travel to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund on Thursday night in the first leg of the quarter finals of the Europa League. Thursday's game promises to be quite the spectacle with a return to Germany for Jurgen Klopp making all the headlines in the build up to the crucial tie. Both sides will be...

The Sakho and Lovren Bias

It's ingrained in every single one of us from birth. It's second nature. It's inbuilt. Bias. No matter how fair we all try to be we look at things with rose tinted glasses from time to time and it can't be helped. If you see a nice pair of trainers in a colour you dislike they're...

Scouting LFC Target Lucas Alario – Who Is He & What’s He Like at Football?

Liverpool need an Argentine, but no one was expecting this one. Last week it emerged that the club were in serious talks with River Plate to bring striker Lucas Alario to Anfield in time for next season. The fact (according to Transfermarkt) he holds an Italian passport, which would help bypass any work permit issues, may...

Jürgen Klopp – Under the Spell of a Madman

Why the optimism? Maybe it's because we wrote this season off when Rodgers was sacked in October.  A new manager, whoever it was, would need time to affect change and instill their vision within our club.  Then it happened… Klopp-mania.  The question is not “why did we expect immediate miracles?” but “how could we have...

Liverpool’s Defensive Midfield Search – Part 2

A few weeks ago, this writer published his ideal choices for a midfielder, shopping outside of the Bundesliga (which can be found here). Here, encompassing the homeland of Liverpool’s new manager, are this writer’s four picks from the Bundesliga to strengthen Liverpool’s midfield, in part two of our search for a defensive midfielder. Granit Xhaka Though...

Another Summer of Change ahead for Liverpool

Everybody is for sale, kind of. There are bounties on the heads of the majority of Liverpool players as we head into open season also known as the Summer transfer window. Every single player has a price. Chairmen may talk a big game but at the end of the day they're just like every other salesman in...

Observations From Liverpool’s Draw Against Spurs

A draw at home to Spurs. It's not the worst result but given how the game progressed, Liverpool fans must be disappointed not to be walking away with three points. Both teams went for the win and although Liverpool tried their very best to give the ball away to Spurs on many occasions, it...
