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...

Tottenham Vs Liverpool | Player Watch

This Sunday see’s the Red Men travel down to North London to face Andre Villas-Boas' Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool have not managed to pick up a single point from White Hart Lane in 5 premier league visits while also losing a league cup tie there during this period. Liverpool’s last win at the Lane came...

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...

Liverpool Vs Norwich Preview | The Perfect Bounce Back?

Defensive Midfielders: Potential Targets Comparison to Liverpool’s Lucas?

With Liverpool making such positive headway during the first third of the Premier League season, there have been grumblings and moans at any supporters who dare to question the team or the tactics. It is true that, with recent seasons proving so desperate and barren, we should enjoy this season as the Reds look...

Why December is important to Liverpool’s season

Next month is by far the most important month of Liverpool's 2013/14 campaign on a whole. December is the month when players get tired from the past few months of football and see themselves pushed to the limit with a rush to get all of our remaining 7 games played and out the way...

Liverpool’s left back issue: Is he the Taylor-Made solution?

Anyone who has watched Liverpool for the past two seasons would agree that Liverpool need a new first choice left back. In fact, if you go back the last 10 years you could put forward an argument that Liverpool’s last top class left back was actually a right back, that player would be Alvaro...

Hull Vs Liverpool Betting Preview | Includes betting tips for weekend

The last time the two sides met at the KC stadium, the two managers were Iain Dowie and Rafa Benitez and Liverpool's starting XI included the likes of Mascherano, Kyriakos, El Zhar and Aquilani. The hosts have won just one of their last games...

Hull City Vs Liverpool | A Game We Should Be Winning

‘A game we've already won on paper’ This is a platitude that will be on the lips of many Liverpool supporters if next weekend’s trip to Hull comes up in conversation around the water cooler. Even the most pessimistic of fans would have to respond with ‘And why not?’ We've lost only two games in the league...

Which Partnership is Better? Suárez & Sturridge vs Rooney & RVP

Disclaimer: The stats used were valid as late as 22nd November 2013 due to this article being written before this weekend's games. At the top level of football the lone striker is becoming the regular sight, with strike partnerships looking to be a thing of the past. Managers now identify the importance of controlling the...

Everton 3 Liverpool 3 | Match Review & Stats

Pundits have hailed it as the finest Merseyside derby in years; yet the six goal thriller whilst a joy to watch, will have left both Roberto Martinez and Kop boss Brendan Rodgers disappointed they didn't walk away with all three points. Coutinho opened the scoring on six minutes with the ball glancing off the head...

Why isn’t Rodgers the Messiah yet?

According to Wikipedia.org, the messiah complex (also known as the Christ complex or saviour complex) is a state of mind in which an individual holds the belief that they are, or are destined to become, a saviour. Rodgers certainly doesn’t outwardly exhibit this, and conversely, the faithful of Liverpool Football Club aren’t holding him...

How do you solve a problem like Jordan Henderson?

On Liverpool blogs across the web many paragraphs have been devoted to discussing the player that Jordan Henderson has blossomed into this season but regardless of how much everyone agrees on his improvement, his best position for the team is still a matter that needs to be discussed. This season he’s played as a...

Liverpool Stars On International Duty | Round-Up – Part 2
