Best Keeper in the World
This was the first meeting of these two Merseyside teams this season, which has thus far seen very differing levels of form from each. The Reds approached this game whilst sat firmly in the Premier League’s top four, whereas Sean Dyche and his men were stuttering in 16th.

Alisson Lauds Team's Performance in Crucial Derby Win
As Liverpool emerged victorious in the heated Merseyside showdown, the spotlight swivels not just towards their talismanic forward, Mohamed Salah, but also the collective spirit and tactical discipline the team exhibited. The Reds, under the strategic helm of Jürgen Klopp, secured a vital 2-0 triumph against a...
Tight Merseyside Derby Sees Salah Shine
Harvey Elliott is the young Englishman that returned from a brilliant international stint, where he played superbly for his under-21 side. His homecoming saw him take a place on the Anfield substitutes bench, yet it was his second half cameo which was most talked about. I mention him first,...
A Stroke of Luck or Judgement Call? Konate's Merseyside Reprieve
In a season beset by refereeing controversies that have seen Liverpool at times theatrically disadvantaged, the latest Merseyside derby presented an intriguing role reversal. The Reds, usually critical of officialdom, found themselves potential beneficiaries of a contentious decision during their 2-0 victory against Everton at...

However, once I did some digging on Robbo, as I have several friends who support Hull, the overwhelming response was that it was a very...
Last week, Leanne Prescott, AnfieldIndex's impish commentator, and I had an email exchange about the changing role of the fullback. Her argument - and it’s one I have no great issue with – is that the modern-day full-back spends as much time in the opponents half as his own.
Gone are the days when the...
I can't help but begrudgingly respect Sergio Ramos. There, I said it.
It's possibly the worst thing you can say as a Liverpool supporter right now, but rather than childishly sign petitions and cry-arse about his behaviour, I find myself admiring him.
I know we’re meant to hate the horrible Spaniard for what he did to...
Liverpool made their way to Old Trafford in the best of form as the Premier League's marquee fixture finally lived up to its billing, with the Red Devils emerging 2-1 victors.
Marcus Rashford's first-half brace put Manchester United in command, but Liverpool didn't give up without a fight.
Eric Bailly's calamitous own goal gave Liverpool some hope, but...
This is Part III of my Transfer Window review, and a follow up to my original articles for “What our Team Needs” which I wrote back in April. Part I (Defenders) can be found here, and Part II (Midfielders) here.
When I wrote the original article, "What our Team Needs - A Winger", it was probably...
We could sit here all day, and debate what areas of our current squad needs strengthening. We could also discuss potential targets, and how realistic a chance of a certain team accepting a bid, and a certain player joining.
In fact, I have read many a...
