Liverpool FC: It’s all about perspective

With 2013 coming to an end, and as people strive to make New Years Resolutions, I find myself looking at some of the reaction to Liverpool defeats on the various social media outlets and forums that I sometimes wonder when all the common sense went out of being a football fan? Don't get me wrong,...

Is Simon Mignolet Good Enough? Compared to Cech, De Gea, Howard & Szczesny

It was the season to be jolly, until Boxing Day, when Alvaro Negredo's awkward strike was helped into the back of the net by Simon Mignolet's hand and gifted Manchester City three points, prompting mass hysteria on Twitter - as always seems to be the case these days. "He isn't good enough!" and "Bring back...

Brendan Rodgers | Stepping Out of The Shadows

Picture the scene… Liverpool dismisses an iconic club legend from the post as manager. The outrage is at full tilt, and the fractions amongst the support get wider and wider. The new manager is relatively young, he’s fresh faced and full of idea’s and he’s just walked into one of the biggest clubs in the world. He...

Manchester City 2 Liverpool 1 | In-depth Match Review

Trade offs have been mentioned a number of times in this tactical column. That is largely because they are such a key part to football. Teams cannot fully control all areas of a game. If you press high, you leave space behind. If you defend deep, you leave space in front. If you play...

Drop Coutinho? No-No-No!

It wouldn't surprise anyone if defeat at the Etihad was to be the result for all nineteen visiting teams this season. However not many will walk away from facing Manchester City in their home ground with the praise that Liverpool are receiving. Liverpool continued to play the excellent press and counter football that worked...

Liverpool 3-1 Cardiff City | In-depth Tactical Review

It's hard to say what position Liverpool are really in in terms of what they can challenge for at the end of the season. At the time of writing there are 2 points between 1st and 5th. Such is the compactness in points, results and general form within the current top five, it's difficult...

Liverpool 3 Cardiff City 1 | Review and Match Stats

Liverpool pranced to the top of the Premier League this Saturday as the Reds beat Cardiff City 3-1 to continue the Merseysiders impressive form. The game was one of two halves with Liverpool effectively winning the game inside the first forty-five minutes to set up a rather dull and less energetic second half. The...

The Ghost of Christmas Past | From Hodgson to Rodgers

'Tis the season to be jolly. Jolly that the Brendan Rodgers era is starting to move through the gears. Jolly that the cynicism that has plagued Liverpool over the past 3 years is starting to eradicate. Jolly that we have a set of owners who put their neck on the line for a striker that...

Jekyll, Hyde and Liverpool FC | An Analysis of Two Performances

When the fixture list was revealed at the start of the season, December was always going to be a difficult month for Liverpool and the plan was clearly to secure points in the preceding weeks allowing the Reds to maybe drop harder ones at Spurs, Man City and Chelsea around Christmas. As we got...

Mamadou Sakho: Probation is over!

Mamadou Sakho arrived at Liverpool in the summer as a highly rated talent. He had with a decent spell at PSG under his belt (151 Ligue 1 Games) and is now moving back up the pecking order in the French National Team after playing in every age group for U16;. £15 million seems like...

Tottenham 0 Liverpool 5 | Review and Match Stats

Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness all sat in the Sky Sports studio at White Hart Lane with smirks breaking through and praise gushing from their mouths. There were a lot of smiling scousers when the final whistle finally blew to draw the curtain down on what was a devastating show of Anfield...

Midfield the Key on the Road for Liverpool | Stats Analysis

From the very first day we all got our hands on the season’s fixture list, the run of three consecutive away games in December stood out as season defining right from the off: Tottenham (Away), Man City (Away), Chelsea (Away). Now that Liverpool are on the eve of venturing into this testing period, December’s away days status as...

How do the Reds cure their White Hart Pain?

Neil Poole ponders Liverpool’s habit of falling asleep away at Tottenham Hotspurs and how it has led to nightmare displays. I had a bad dream last night. I was being chased by a 30 foot cockerel down the High Road towards Seven Sisters tube station. It had a booming cockney voice and it was mocking me...

Jon Flanagan: Do his performances warrant an extended run in 1st team?

Jon Flanagan has been a regular in the Liverpool side ever since starting at right wing-back in the Premier League game against Arsenal in early November. Since then, Flanagan has been swapped over to the left due to Jose Enrique being ruled out after picking up an injury. The Liverpool-born full back has been...

‘SCS’ Suarez-Coutinho-Sturridge | Permutations and combinations

(Please note that the article revolves around Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Phillipe Coutinho. Whenever I refer a group of players as ‘the trio’ or ‘the three’ I am referring to those three players. ) No matter which part of the world you’re in or what time of the day it is, an hour prior...

The many facets of Rodgers’ Liverpool Managerial journey thus far

Brendan Rodgers is now coming close to the midway point of his second season as the manager of Liverpool Football Club. It's fair to say that this duration should suffice for most of the club's supporters, if not all, to ascertain what his strengths are and conversely what traits of his that haven't strengthened...

#AIPodcast – An apology

It has been brought to our attention that, during a recent episode of the Anfield Index Podcast, one of our opposition guests made reference to a certain "newspaper" during the preview section for the West Ham game. The Anfield Index in no way condones any mention of said "newspaper" and we sincerely apologise for the...

Joe Allen | One for the future, as well as right now

Wednesday 4th December 2013 was a great night for Liverpool Football Club and in particular for Luis Suarez. Four wonderful goals from the Uruguayan wizard and a very solid and professional job done by the whole team. Quite rightly, Luis Suarez went home with the Man of the Match award and all the plaudits. However,...

Suso | A Complete Stats Analysis of his loan so far

“I think that he has everything needed to succeed there. He can dribble well and does have great vision. He could be effective playing in the middle. "He can score goals. He likes to go into the area as part of the second wave. I think they have signed a jewel.”  Former Cadiz youth team...

Sterling silver or another dull show piece?

After bursting onto the Premier League scene last season, a year on Raheem Sterling seems to have slipped under the radar a little bit. He's only made three starting appearances so far in the premier league and has come off the bench six times to accumulate a grand total of 370 minutes played. This...

Partnership Comparison: Suárez & Sturridge vs Agüero & Negredo

Disclaimer: The stats used were valid as late as 1st Decemeber 2013 due to this article being written after both the Liverpool and Manchester City games. Following on from my previous article, in which I researched into and compared the Liverpool and Manchester United strike partnerships to see which one was better, I thought I...

One-Third of Liverpool’s season in | Progress?

You should judge a team’s credentials after 10-12 league games, they say. Amid the annoying international breaks, spectacular goals, controversial refereeing decisions, Joe Allen's derby miss and the SAS magic, Liverpool's season has stuttered along. There seems to be a lack of continuity, fluidity and momentum. The coming 4 weeks promise to provide exactly...
