Rinse And Repeat: Scouser Tommies

Rinse And Repeat: Scouser Tommies

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back for another episode of Scouser Tommies on Anfield Index, though under a cloud as dark and miserable as the Merseyside night they are recording on. Following a humiliating run of three defeats - conceding ten goals in the process against City, Forest, and PSV - the hosts attempt to dissect exactly how an "acorn of doubt" has so quickly grown into a forest of problems for Arne Slot’s Liverpool.

Pre-match press conference with Liverpool manager Arne Slot ahead of West Ham v Liverpool in the Premier League at London Stadium.

Slot talks about reflecting on decisions after defeats, the importance of rewarding good phases of play, and how individual errors have been punished recently. He provides updates on Alisson, Florian and Hugo, with Alisson expected to be available and Florian close to returning to full training. Slot praises Nuno Espirito Santo’s impact at West Ham and the difficulty of facing them in their current form. He also speaks about XG, missed chances, Curtis Jones’ passionate interview, restoring confidence, player messaging, and how team spirit must remain strong throughout.

Liverpool FC: Following the Dortmund Model into Europe

Back to the Holy Land It’s that time of year again isn’t it? That annoying period in a season where every player, manager, pundit and fan peddles out the most irksome of cliché’s in the game: “if you offered me this position we’re in right now at the start of the season, I’d have bit...

Countera-TikiTaka: The New Liverpool Way

"The front three have pace, power, movement, and I would say Liverpool might be one of the best counter-attacking teams in Europe at the moment.   "The way they suck teams in and just break on them. They run at every opportunity, so you have got to be aware of that. "I admire the football they...

Pressure? What Pressure?

We will, no doubt, hear a lot of rubbish about ‘pressure’ over the coming weeks. If the popular media narrative is to be believed, Liverpool will crumble/succumb/collapse under the ‘pressure’ and falter in the title race. But why? Will players who have swept all before them in recent months open the paper one morning , glance at...

Steven Gerrard and The Missing Page in Liverpool’s Scrapbook

As I write this Liverpool Football Club sit proudly at the top of the Premier League table and for want of a more suitable phrase ‘this shit just got real’. Of course there’s a legion of old-timer Kopites who have seen all this a dozen times or more, but similarly there is a whole generation...

Raheem Sterling – A Wing and a Player

Brendan Rodgers once spoke of his reluctance to give a young player a lucrative contract early in their career. The thinking behind this is that the natural hunger for the game which players possess at this age, can transform into a hunger for their next pay packet or bonus, and have an adverse effect...

As Liverpool FC take the field to take on Spurs on March 30th it will be exactly 50 years to the day since they also faced their North London opponents on the same patch of green Anfield turf. Back in 1964, The Beatles were number one in the charts with Can't Buy Me Love and...

Liverpool FC – They’ve Got The Balls!

As a 34 year old Liverpool fan with a dodgy ticker, the last few years have been relatively easy to get through, stress wise. We haven't been that great and we haven't had much to play for at the business end of the season. Sure we've had times where we've played well and yes, we've...

Liverpool 2 Sunderland 1 | In-Depth Tactical Analysis

Liverpool continued in the 4-3-1-2 diamond-type shape from the last three matches. Coutinho remained at the tip with Allen and Henderson playing as the shuttlers outside of  Gerrard. Possibly the best way to describe the shape Poyet played was a 5-2-1-2. Bridcutt and Cattermole played as defensive midfielders in front of the backline and Giaccherini...

Why has 89 replaced 63 as Liverpool’s new Magic Number?

Neil Poole explains the significance of the number 63 in Liverpool’s recent history and why 89 is now the new number on the block. The complete irrelevance of the number 63 in the world is quite startling. At best, it’s the year that Joseph of Arimathea went to Glastonbury on the first Christian mission to...

Relax against Liverpool? All the best!

‘Relax!’ ‘Guys, RELAX!’ screamed Ole Gunner Solskjaer as his team lead Liverpool 2-1. The Cardiff manager was visibly distressed at seeing his defence crumble with a mazy run into the box by Daniel Sturridge. The move eventually breaking down, the fear, however, remained. ‘Relax’ he pleaded, ‘Relax’. Alas it was too late. For the Cardiff players...

Brendan Rodgers and the rebirth of Steven Gerrard

At a time where many of us are patting ourselves on the back and saying, "I told you Brendan Rodgers was the man for us" and watching in admiration at how he is helping return us to our perch, I feel it is only right that I hold my hands up and admit to...

The Epic Season of 13/14 | The Story So Far for Liverpool FC

Remember that? Vaguely?). After their midfielders got bypassed and played through by Liverpool, they...

Trio dominant at Old Trafford | Gerrard, Henderson & Allen!

For the first time since I have been alive, Liverpool have gone into a game against Manchester United as the favourites to walk away with the three points. Some, including myself, were a bit sceptical of this, or just refused to admit what would have been such an outlandish thing to say in the past...

Manchester United Vs Liverpool | Deja Vu…. with some differences!

For one week in March 2009, we ruled the world. March 10th: Liverpool 4-0 Real Madrid. March 14th: Manchester United 1-4 Liverpool.
