José Enrique: Is he an Elite Left Back? Compared to Baines & Cole

One of the common signs of a new Liverpool arrival "settling in" on Merseyside is the creation of a song for him by the Anfield faithful. Such classics as "Steve Gerrard Gerrard," "We All Dream of a Team of Carraghers," the Xabi Alonso song, and (my personal favorite, though I don't hear it much...

Liverpool FC Blogger / Tweeter Predictions for 2012/13 Premier League Season

So the start of the new season has come around (super fast for us as we've been so busy) and as is usual at this time of year everyone is having their say for the predictions. Thanks to Paul Boyham we have decided to write this article for anfieldindex.com and some of their friends!...

Kenny Dalglish Sacked – “The Liverpool Way” is Dead

It was headline news on Sky Sports, BBC and in all the newspapers. Everyone knew what happened. Kenny Dalglish didn’t resign as manager, nor did he come to the end of his contract. He was sacked. By Liverpool Football Club. Kenny Dalglish was sacked by Liverpool Football Club. I felt sick reading it, hearing it and thinking about...

The Importance of Being Lucas | Opta Stats Analysis

It may surprise you to hear this, but with Liverpool FC having played 33 games this season, with only 5 games remaining, Lucas Leiva is still Liverpool’s top tackler. With a total of 68 tackles attempted this season, out of only 12 games the Brazilian has featured in, only now has any other LFC...

Liverpool 2 Everton 1 | Going to Wembley Thrice | Opta Stats

April 14th 2012 will be remembered as an excellent day for any Liverpool FC supporter. The day when the neighbours were beaten at Wembley in the first FA Cup semi-final for 2012. It will also be remembered for a very good 2nd half performance from their £50m strike duo Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll....

Liverpool Win the Carling Cup – It’s only the Mickey Mouse Cup!

So we did it, we finally won a trophy after seeing Liverpool go without one for nearly SIX years!  How times have changed since then!  We have had new owners, another Champions League Final, a new Kop idol, Premier League Runners-up, a rubbish manager, high court battle, more new owners, the return of a...

Liverpool FC win the Carling Cup | Full Stats Analysis

Liverpool won their, record, 8th Carling Cup and did it the hard way once again. Sitting in the new Wembley stadium wasn’t easy for the travelling Kop as their Mighty Reds edged over the finishing line with a nail biting penalty shoot-out in which they’d missed their first two penalties! Goals from Martin Skrtel and...

Liverpool FC | Players Goals & Assists so far | All Competitions

As a preview to Liverpool's first Cup Final for almost six years we thought we'd get together some stats on the Carling Cup regarding the goal scorers and players that have the most assist. However as we were compiling the data we though we'd add in the FA Cup and Premier League stats to give...

Whats in store for the rest of Liverpool FC’s season

Well Liverpool fans have not to worry albeit falling to defeat to the scum in a match tainted with controversy as things look bright for the rest of the season. Liverpool have booked themselves into Wembley for the first time in a long time and will face Cardiff in the Carling Cup final.It's a...

Liverpool | It’s All About Shooting | Statistical & Graphical Review

Much has been made this season about our lack of goals and our poor conversion rate. In fact, we have been consistently in the bottom three all season when it comes to conversion rates, hovering in and around the 10% mark. This week however, we’ve reached a new low and are now bottom of...

Martin Skrtel | Steady as we go Vs Spurs | Stats

Martin Skrtel has split opinions on Merseyside for years. Ever since his move from Zenit St. Petersburg in January 2008, the Slovak has drifted in and out of the Liverpool back line. He has partnered many players in the Reds' defence; Soto Kyrgiakos, Sebastien Coates, Jamie Carragher, and most recently, Daniel Agger. Skrtel is...

When Harry met Kenny: Liverpool v Spurs match preview

By anyone’s standards Liverpool have had a good couple of weeks. Since the debacle that was the  defeat to Bolton, some home truths and committed performances have improved the outlook to the rest of the season for the Reds and their supporters. Even the collective media reaction that Liverpool can lift themselves for the...

The Importance of Being Skrtel

Journey back to October 5th 2008, where Martin Skrtel sustained a severe knee injury, ruling him out for much for much of the 2008-09 season. Now journey forward to the present day where Skrtel is a key player in a recovering Liverpool side, what has changed? The Slovakian arrived in January 2008 from Zenit Saint Petersburg...

AnfieldIndex Stats: Liverpool 2 Man Utd 1 – FA Cup 4th Round

As promised, we've collated Liverpool FC stats from the FA Cup 4th Round tie against Manchester United. It's taken us most of the day to do so using the footage that was shown on TV. Therefore some of these stats will not be as accurate as Opta's as they have access to non-replay match...

Skrtel, Agger, Carragher | The Battle for the Centre

This time last year was a good time to be a Liverpool fan. Up until Saturday 8th January 2011 we had endured one of the most challenging times in terms of club form and morale, with the “Liverpool way” seemingly being eroded in front of our eyes. In recent times there had been the...

AnfieldIndex Exclusive: Liverpool FC Stats from Carling Cup Semi-Final 2nd leg

Liverpool FC have finally made it to the new Wembley Stadium and how sweet it is. The road to Wembley was a tough one with Away wins over Stoke, Chelsea and Manchester City along the way how fitting it that it came down to the 2nd leg at Anfield to decide whether Liverpool made...

Bolton vs Liverpool | Passing Triangles – Graphical & Stats Preview

Next up is a trip to Owen Coyle’s Bolton Wanderers where we will look to put our recent problems at Anfield behind us and try to continue our good away form. In the previous meeting at Anfield this season Liverpool came out winners with a 3-1 scoreline. Bolton go into the game sitting second...

So close. Yet, so far… | City 3 v Liverpool 0 (02/01/2012)

I just want to start by saying this was originally a forum post, and it was written after the Manchester City game, which we lost 3-0. All these stats are as of 03/01/2012 so if some things are slightly out, I apologise now. I was analysing the stats and figures, and as I looked a bit...

Man City 0 Liverpool 1 | All the Stats from the Carling Cup Semi Final 1st leg

So it was first blood to Liverpool in the Carling Cup semi final after they edged, or rather squeezed past Manchester City, at the Etihad Stadium. If you'd offered Liverpool any type of lead going back to Anfield for the second leg I think they'd have more than taken it. We, at Anfield Index, have...

Liverpool Striking Options | Who’s going to fill the onion bag?

    A poacher, a Rush, an Aldridge, dare I say it an on form, happy Torres. We must’ve all wished for one this season. Suarez is a genius but needs to up his conversion rate (currently 7%) and quickly, when he returns. We need someone to convert our chances. The table shows we are in...

How we collected the Liverpool Vs Oldham Stats: Performa Sports App Review

As you may have already read (if not please click here: Liverpool Vs Oldham Stats Analysis) we collected the stats for the Liverpool FC Vs Oldham Athletic game manually. As we did not have access to Opta stats for this competition we thought we'd try and collate the stats via the Performa Sports iPad...

Liverpool – Mid-Term Statistical Report

With the season just over half way gone I thought I’d take a look at Liverpool’s season team stats, see how they compare to other teams at this stage in the Premiership and also take a little look at how those statistics compare to some of last year’s totals. All though this will be...

Liverpool FC Vs Oldham Athletic | Stats Analysis

So for the first time we're going to be covering an FA Cup match on anfieldindex.com. Also for the first time we're not going to be using Opta stats as we don't have access to any Opta stats for FA Cup matches. So in the desperation of trying to get some sort of stats...

Liverpool FC | Statistical Mid-Season Report

At the midway point of the 2011/12 English Premier League season Liverpool find themselves with 34 points, in sixth place in the table and facing league leaders Manchester City to kick-off the second half.  Of obvious concern are the 6 home draws, as the Reds have taken only 18 of a possible 30 points...

Liverpool V Newcastle | Tactical & Stats Report – Prodigal Son Returns

The return of the prodigal son. What more can you say about Steven Gerrard. Back from a long term injury, comes on with 38 minutes left in the game, with the score at 1-1, and inspires the team to a 3-1 win. Steven Gerrard makes other players play well. To tweak a line from...

The Stats Behind Shooting & Creativity for Liverpool FC

It's the same old story once again for Liverpool FC. Inconsistency once again proved to be Liverpool FC's failing as they dropped points against two clubs that they really should beat. Wigan Athletic and Blackburn Rovers are two sides that you'd have bet on for Liverpool FC to come away with three points, especially...

Luis Suarez Smear campaign in full flow | More Evidence

UPDATE: Sky have now announced Suarez as the winner of the 2011 Goals on Sunday Player of the Year competition. Liverpool supporters have felt that there has been a smear campaign against Luis Suarez over the last few months.  There was more evidence of this last night with the Sky Sports Player of 2011 online...

José Enrique effectiveness vs. Wigan

Quality left-backs at Liverpool have been a premium down the years but the acquisition of José Enrique has proven to be an excellent signing. Defensively, he is everything you need in a full-back; he's strong so holds attackers off with ease, calm and confident on the ball, quick, his positional sense is second-to-none and...

Do Liverpool need to buy anyone this January?

As we approach the January transfer window Liverpool will be looking to bring in a few new faces to the club and whether those players are stars or up and comers we will find out. As you look at the team closely you are able to find those areas in which we are in...

Adam, Downing & Henderson: New boys’ Graduation Day due

I might be witnessing a graduation on Sunday.  I hope to see new boys coming of age in a Red shirt. No, not our much criticised, 6 ft plus, work in progress, AC.  His time will come. My own theory is that he needs to come off the bench with 30 minutes to go, in...
