Few players are less fashionable in the modern game than Nathaniel Clyne and James Milner.
In an era when Football Manager, FIFA and statistics-based websites such as Squawka and WhoScored allow any football fans to proclaim themselves experts on any player across Europe, who really cares about two functional English full-backs?
The snobbery against British...
Birthdays can be a real source of emotional volatility as one gets older. On the face of it, it's a great blessing to have lasted another year in a world moving at such a distressing pace, in a direction which no longer seems certain, but on the other hand, one is afflicted with terrible...
Irritation was the name of the game yesterday at Latest News Towers. Irritation with life's vicissitudes (which is not the fodder for these paragraphs), irritation with the media, irritation with the Redmen and, finally, seeing that irritation gloriously manifested in the exasperated form of Jamie Carragher (himself a regular source of irritation to this columnist,...
With many great Liverpool players, there are often moments that come along that make you realise how special they are.
With Steven Gerrard, it was his thunderbolt against Man United at Anfield. For Luis Suarez, it was his incredible assist for Dirk Kurt against the same team. Fernando Torres’ ruthless finish against Chelsea on his...
Make no bones about it, Liverpool are far better against their top-four rivals than those in the bottom-half of the Premier League.
The statistics show that, and we can see with our own eyes that that is the case.
The Reds have undoubtedly been poor when a number of so-called lesser teams have stood before them...
The Nina Kauser show on YouTube is back! For my sixth Anfield Index TV show I decided to discuss whether Liverpool's terrible January, where they picked up three points from five games and were knocked out of two cup competitions, was down to bad planning or sheer bad luck! The discussion came about after Jurgen Klopp...
There may not be any cup glory heading in the direction of Anfield this season, but there’s still the chance of making it into the top four. If Liverpool are to make it into the Champions League, form at Anfield must improve. It’s time to make Anfield a fortress again.
That did actually look to...
First, an acknowledgement - every game between now and season's end, the whole baker's dozen, will be dubbed HUGE. If Jürgen Klopp's Redmen go on a winning run, the potential for comparative success will drive the hysteria. If they are patchy, the need for players and coach to PROVE THEIR WORTH AND AVOID THE...
The Nina Kauser show on YouTube is back! For my fifth Anfield Index TV show I decided to discuss whether Liverpool are out of their poor run of form in the Premier League that has seen a draw away to Sunderland, a draw against Manchester United, a loss to Swansea, a draw to Chelsea and a...
For the entirety of January and the beginning of February, weekends have been a matter of endurance for Liverpool fans. For this scribbler, the only means of escaping the crippling ennui that seemed to grow with each pathetic result was to indulge a lifelong passion for film that rivals my ardour for the Reds.
Ironically, getting lost...
