The new episode of Molby On The Spot sees host Trev Downey and Liverpool and Denmark legend Jan Molby throwing an eye over the Liverpool players on display at the World Cup in Russia so far and discussing all the major incidents - from VAR-assisted penalties to the reigniting of the Messi/Ronaldo debate. Jan analyses penalty technique and the mentality needed to be successful from the spot on the biggest international stage and the lads discuss who look to be the early favourites to progress or depart early. On a domestic front, there’s your weekly fix of transfer talk featuring Nabil Fekir, Nick Pope, Kasper Schmeichel, Daniel Sturridge and Rhian Brewster.
On A-Eye Scouted this week, Dave is joined by Joseph Cousins, aka Cuzzy, as they scout their own team - Liverpool FC. Dave has taken this opportunity to play keep, sell or loan and asks Cuzzy for his thoughts on the squad and who he'd keep or move on. All this and more on A-Eye Scouted!
Gags and Dave get together to talk about Liverpool's transfer windows of the past. After an initial chat about the World Cup so far, they discuss Liverpool transfer windows immediately after World Cups since the transfer window system was started in the summer of 2002.
The AnfieldIndex originals then discuss the last few windows at Liverpool FC before Jurgen Klopp joined and then compare all of that to what the Reds have done since Klopp and Edwards and their team have been working together. Plenty of nostalgia, fun and comparisons to then and now!

The lads discuss the pressure on FIFA to deliver a great tournament having chosen Russia, the Reds on show over the coming month and Jan’s favourite World Cup goals.

Gags Tandon is joined by Simon Brundish and Dan Kennett to discuss Liverpool's 2018/19 fixtures in full. The Premier League released the fixtures earlier today but Gags and co have added all of the other competitions to give more context and analyse where the season could be won or lost. Simon Brundish also looks at the days rest that Liverpool could have throughout the season and how sacrificing a domestic cup could be helpful.
On A-Eye Scouted this week, Dave is joined by Lee Scott, a freelance scout and Lead Analyst for Total Football Analysis, to take a look at players that could be alternatives to Nabil Fekir for Liverpool FC to look at. All this and more on A-Eye Scouted!
In our season review, Allen O’Donoghue and Andrew Vincent examine how LFC have faired over the course of 2017/18 through a psychological lens. Revisiting some psychological theories, the lads delve into the mind of Klopp and his players.
Get all of this and more on the Mind-Field podcast.
Dan Kennett hosts this special Under Pressure podcast and he's joined by Gags Tandon and Daniel Rhodes to review the 2017/18 season.
Dan splits the review into phases. The first part up to the Manchester United game, then the games in between that and the big Christmas period. The start of the new year up to that controversial clash with Spurs at home and then the run-in to the Champions League Final and qualifying for the CL again.
Whilst discussing all of the above they go through the usual on-ball, off-ball, distance covered and pressing stats. There are also key season highlights, lowlights and trends.
There's obviously a Mo Salah appreciation section as nobody can doubt what an amazing season he had.
Gags Tandon is joined by Joseph Cousins (Cuzzy) and Stu Bridson for their AI:PRO debuts to discuss what the hell happened to the Nabil Fekir deal! The three go through specific scenarios that have been touted online or by the media to logically decipher what may be the truth. Apart from those involved, nobody will know the truth but the guys try to see which stories are the most likely. Have LFC messed up another transfer or are they blameless in this one? All will be answered on the Anfield Index Pro + Podcast.
