Welcome to the Anfield Index writers' coverage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. With the tournament fast approaching the four writers behind this have decided to come together to briefly explain our plan for the coverage and answer a few light-hearted World Cup questions to get the ball rolling.
So let’s meet the...
Or so everybody with a Twitter account will have you believe. The difficulty, as we know, is getting the right deals done.
It's fair to say, however, that Liverpool have moved relatively quickly in the transfer market and have secured two very different types of players. Â One in Emre Can who fits the profile of...
Whilst most football fans are getting ready for the World Cup, the folks over at FanBet are fine-tuning their site for the official launch in August. Let’s take a closer look at what it is exactly they hope to achieve.
The concept is simple, bet behind pro bettors for a better chance of real money...
Episode 30:Â Transfers Then... and Now
Date:Â 10th June, 2014
Hello and welcome to the Anfield Index Podcast.
This week on the Anfield Index Podcast Gags Tandon hosts in the absence of John Ritchie with guests Jan Gorski-Mesci, Brian Durand and special guest, Football Editor of the Times, Tony Evans discussing transfers from the past and present!
The guys talk...
Amidst the heady concoction of blistering pace, razor sharp attacking and, at times, haphazard defending served up by the Liverpool first team over the past season, it may have been easy to forget that the Reds also had  twelve players out on loan at various clubs, domestically, across Europe, and even in South America....
Earlier in the season, following Liverpool's 2-1 defeat at Manchester City, I wrote an article looking at Simon Mignolet's first season up to that point as the Reds' first choice goalkeeper following his summer move from Sunderland.
At the time he had just made himself public enemy number one to a group of fans (oh...
Callum Huckle reviews the transfer window so far and looks at how the new boys could line up for Liverpool next season.

Episode 29:Â The Transfer Committee
Date:Â 2nd June, 2014
Hello and welcome to the Anfield Index Podcast.
So tonight we’re going to do something different.
Ever since the transfer deadline day saga in Rodgers first window at Liverpool, the club has adopted a transfer committee.
Much of what the committee does is cloaked in secrecy however from what we’re lead to...
To some, the midfield area is one which is overrated. One can look at how many goals a respective team has scored that season, and how many they kept out. Of course, while these spectators acknowledge the importance of a great middle unit, if you are substantially stronger in the first and final thirds,...
Episode 28:Â Champions League Dreams
Date:Â 27th May, 2014
This week on the show we have special guest Paul Dalglish joined by Fydsy, Brian Durand and host John Ritchie. They cover the massive news that Brendan Rodgers has signed a new long-term contract at Liverpool FC and also talk about their memories and experiences of great European nights...
On looking at the league table, it would be easy to blame Liverpool’s failure to win the title on their defence. It would be easy to do, partly because it’s true. However, there are many things to take into account when analysing why a team concedes the goals they do. What follows is a...
Those tinges of heartbreak from seeing Manchester City winning the league, and not the Reds, were instantaneously replaced by the euphoria of actually being in a title race until the very last day of the season. Universally, nobody would dare say this was a failure of a season in anyway. Not even the judgmental...

The dust has yet to settle on the wild and wondrous campaign of 2013/14, yet the transfer rumour mill is in full swing; with Liverpool its traditional epicentre. However, among the traditional nonsensical reports of Ricardo Quaresma finally sealing his move to Liverpool and Simao finally receiving the call from Senor Rafa to board...
It was a dreary and grey night in Dublin's Aviva Stadium which welcomed the clash between Glasgow Celtic lookalike Shamrock Rovers, and the Premier League runner up, Liverpool FC. Liverpool fielded a relatively weakened side as all the first team players who have been selected for their respective countries to take part in this...
Episode 26: We've Got Our Club Back

Dear Brendan Rodgers,
I hope this letter reaches you in good spirits even if things haven't panned out quite how we all would've wanted on the final Sunday of the season.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for all your efforts, not just this season, but both campaigns you have...
This Sunday at Anfield, a 2013/14 Premier League winners trophy will be present along with some medals, just in case. All we need to accompany this agonising reminder of how close we've come this season is Jim Bowen to tell us what we could have won, before revealing said silverware, Bullseye style. There's still...
A soul-destroying week has brought our title hopes down from cloud nine to only a slight chance of glory. The two results against Chelsea and Crystal Palace have gifted Manchester City an unbelievable chance of regaining the Premier League title - and even though we'll be cheering on Villa and West Ham like they're...
Episode 25: Perspective
Date:Â 7th May, 2014

It has been a very strange week in the life of being a Liverpool fan. Especially if you have a Twitter account. Oh boy, especially if you have a Twitter account.
Following the defeat that ended, not only our unbeaten outset to 2014, but the incredible eleven game winning streak. The Premier League is also...
Last Monday fans and first team players at a sold out Anfield were treated to a thoroughly entertaining encounter between a team of Local Legends and a team of International Legends. I was lucky enough to be invited into the Press Box for the game and also took over the Anfield Index Twitter account...
Heads fell into the hands of every Liverpool fan around the world when Steven Gerrard slipped to gift Chelsea the lead on Sunday.

A packed Anfield was treated to an entertaining afternoon as the Liverpool Local Legends took on the International Legends in an encounter which ended 2-2, with the goals coming via a brace from Robbie Fowler, a Michael Thomas own goal, and Bruno Cheyrou.
It was very much a game of two halves as Kenny Dalglish's...
It's always a heart-in-your-mouth moment - Martin Skrtel catches your eye, with his arms around an opposition striker, with only seconds to go.
More often than not this season, it's a defensive move that's been effective enough to manage those last minute free-kicks that could have changed a lot of results for us, and who...
