Comparing Defence and Attack – Klopp Against Rodgers

A lot has been written over the past week or so about what Jurgen Klopp brings to Liverpool and how he compares to the recently departed, not from this Earth, Brendan Rodgers. Their styles have been looked at and analysed, lots of theories have been discussed about how the German messiah may evolve Liverpool...

Klopp is The Man To Unite Liverpool’s Divided Fanbase

During my 21 years on the planet, the Liverpool fanbase has always been a divergent lot. Chasms of opinion have existed over matters both trivial and sincere. In the age of Football Twitter the various factions of Liverpool support have become increasingly clear and ghettoised, united and divided by opinions on various issues of support,...

Changes at Liverpool: Competing at the Top Table

Liverpool FC, its management, the players and supporters have just gone past a frenzied week of activities as the club sacked their manager and appointed a world class name in the form of Jurgen Klopp. In terms of making a statement, that was as big as the club has had in the last few...

Jurgen Klopp’s Tactical Permutations & Pellegrini: Links 4-2-3-1

Back in 2013, Jürgen Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund made it all the way to the Champions League final at Wembley. For many this was the season which defined him. The increased visibility offered by their impressive run in the world's most coveted football competition, made people sit up and take note of the man, his team,...

Ready to Rumble: How Do Liverpool Line Up In Klopp’s First Game?

With the international break slowly drawing to a close, minds are beginning to revert back to domestic action, namely that of the Premier League. For Liverpool fans, that means just one thing... it's almost Jürgen time. Yes, the new manager will take charge of his first game in just a matter of days, away to...

Divock Origi: To Be Saved By The Boss?

The arrival of Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool has kick-started a sense of euphoria surrounding the club and it's hard not to understand why. The German boss seems to have all the answers to Liverpool’s on-field problems and there's a sense of hope returning to the forgotten fortress of Anfield. Under Brendan Rodgers, there was often...

The Power of Youth: Klopp’s Transfer Magic

With a clamour and a beaming grin, most Liverpool supporters now have a horizon to look to. Where the dark shroud engulfed the fields of Anfield Road, a descent into limbo embodied by a broken regime, the inverse has now created a sense of real optimism about Liverpool Football Club, for what seems like...

Are Liverpool Really “Becoming Tottenham”?

Immediately following the announcement of the dismissal of Brendan Rodgers, Jamie Carragher remarked, "Liverpool are becoming Tottenham, they think they're a big club but the real big clubs are not too worried about them - who they buy, what they're going to do - that's the situation as it's become for Liverpool, even when I was...

The Normal One: Klopp – Must Not Be Put On A Pedestal

Jurgen Klopp’s arrival at Liverpool has certainly caught the imagination of our fans. English football followers will be well versed with the charismatic German manager – the Klopp cult has translated across borders. His popularity comes from his electric interviews, his effortless charisma and the terrifying intensity of football his teams attempt to play....

Klopp, Zlatan and the Transfer Market

As many of you of a similar age to me will know there was an 1980s TV series (and also more recently a film version) called The Equalizer in which the basic premise was that Robert McCall (played by Edward Woodward who was great in the role), an ex CIA operative, who on seeing the...

The Committee Has Done Some Good at Liverpool

For the sympathisers of Rodgers in the media Liverpool’s problems owed more to the much vilified transfer committee than the Northern Irishman. It is the mitigating factor in Rodgers’ performance at Liverpool and it is spread as a blanket over his own failings. Rather than facilitate the work of a promising young British manager,...

Can Adam Lallana Buck Up His Ideas?

Adam Lallana is something of a head-scratcher when it comes to Liverpool Football Club and even disregarding his £25 Million fee entirely there is still debate over his transfer. A player who neither fits in with the titillatingly direct and pacey football of 2013/14 or the slower, possession based approach that Brendan Rodgers wished...

Klopp Vs Rodgers: The Aggressive Unknown

I’ll start-off slow. Over the last few decades there’s been a sense that we should aim to repeat the past. We tried. And, in 2013/14, we came close: but this was never a realistic ambition. The club placed itself under the self-inflicted tyranny of “the weight of the shirt” – a philosophy Brendan Rodgers was only...

The Week of Klopp: A Fan’s Account

Jurgen Klopp is at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp is the Liverpool manager. Jurgen Klopp is ours. If you do not believe it, do keep repeating it until you believe it. Every club who changes their manager during the season hope for something, which is now more commonly termed as the 'honey moon effect' or 'manager bounce'....

Gegenpressing at Liverpool – Could It Work?

Gegenpressing has become a buzzword in football. It's one of those words that makes people think you're a football hipster if you know what it means "Why are you saying Gegenpressing? Why not just call it pressing?" I'm sure many of you are familiar with the term now but for those that aren't the term...

Klopp and The Kop

Today Jurgen Klopp officially began his tenure as Liverpool manager and Anfield has quiet understandably lost it's mind, overcome with joy and expectation. Fans have been craving the appointment of a top-class coach since the departure of Rafael Benitez. Since Benitez's exit in 2010 it has been a succession of almost managers: Brendan Rodgers, Kenny...

From Doubters, To Believers

“I am the normal one” - the words that endeared every Liverpool fan to Klopp. Not that it was needed. Jurgen had already arrived with much acclaim. It’s been a long time since a Liverpool manager was so revered. The smile, the turned up jeans, the funky glasses. The moment he grabbed Ian Ayre and...

A New Era – A Chance For Forgotten Liverpool Players

Jürgen Klopp. Wow, a breath of fresh air has been breathed into our recently stale club. The ideas and excitement of the possibilities. The belief that this charismatic German will give the club another chance at success. To wake up the sleeping giants. But does that account solely for the club and fans? No....

Auf geht’s Liverpool!

For those of you who are unaware, I spent many of my formative years in Germany, growing up with the British Army, where I was lovingly known as a ‘Pad Brat’. It was during my time there that I formed a soft spot for two Bundesliga clubs: Hamburger SV and Borussia Dortmund. The interest with...

The Roar Of The Klopp – New Boss Wants “Believers”

"We have to change from doubter to believer. Now!" Jürgen Klopp, clever German bloke "I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief." Immanuel Kant, another clever German bloke When it comes to carving out a unique niche in the over-congested world of football 'personalities,' Jürgen Norbert Klopp has it down. His predecessor, Brendan...

Can Jurgen Klopp’s Teams Play the Diamond?

When many think of Jurgen Klopp they think of counter attacking football. They think of a team in yellow buzzing around the final third of the pitch in the hunt for the ball. They think of a 4231 formation. It's what he was famed for as he took a mid-table Dortmund side and transformed...

Klopp’s arrival – Rafa Parallels & Battle Cries!

At White Hart Lane on Tottenham’s High Road, Liverpool’s latest hotly anticipated football revolution will begin again. Perhaps not in the sparkling splendour of the blistering sunshine of August 2004, when a trim and sharply dressed Rafa Benitez first stepped out into the away dugout as the new LFC manager, embarking on his mission...

Green-Eyed Monsters – Klopp and Coutinho Are Subjects Of Envy

Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on. Iago, Othello Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. Buddha Envy blinds men and makes it impossible for them to think clearly. Malcolm X When Moses wandered back down off...

Klopp – The Appliance of Science!

I’ll start by saying he’s not a Zanussi washing machine! What can make us different from our competitors? We have the same view of all the players, managers, staff and other things out there as the next club so what are the dividing lines that make us what we are? Theoretically, it is a combination...

Brendan Rodgers Saved My Life…

I’ve ummed and aaarghed about writing this. It’s a personal tale really, but that’s sometimes what’s needed to express thanks to someone. Many years ago, in 2008 to be precise, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. That illness effects my heart and the initial prognosis wasn’t great. As you can imagine, the news shook...

The New Testament? Will Klopp Redeem The Redmen?

“I like the total intensification , when there are crashes and bangs everywhere, a sense of all of nothing, pure adrenaline and no one being able to breathe." Jürgen Klopp, Die Zeit, 2012 "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy." Brian's Mother, The Life of Brian There's a reasonably well known anecdote from the world's biggest...

Liverpool FC: The Future Is All That Counts

A decent first-half display in the 225th Merseyside derby was the last thing Brendan Rodgers had to shout about as manager of Liverpool Football Club. The final result (1-1) was by the by for the Northern Irishman, as he soon learnt what many fans had known since late last week (thanks to a clued...

Lazar Markovic – Gone But Not Forgotten

Rarely has a player split the fanbase, as Lazar Markovic did last season. Arriving for a sum of £20 million from Benfica, the expectations were high for the fleet-footed Serbian. Supporters hoped with the departing Luis Suarez, that he would fill a creative void in the Liverpool side. In truth he perhaps wasn't ready...

Liverpool Manager? One That’s “Ours”

I always said to the mighty Anfield Index Godfather, Gags, that I’d write one article for him. Just never thought it would be this one! Brendan Rodgers aka Janet Jackson - what have you done for me lately? Oooooh ooooooh ooooooh ooooooohhhhhhhhh yeah. As I waited once the whistle was blown at Goodison today, you didn’t wave....

What Jurgen Klopp Brings to Liverpool FC

The Jugen Klopp shadow has been cast over Anfield since the 2014/15 season ended. The German left Dortmund having taken them from midtable mediocrity to one of the most efficient and exciting teams to watch within two seasons of taking charge. He toppled the might of Bayern Munich. He cast aside the lingering Bayer...
