What Makes a Goalkeeper a Keeper?
First to be blamed; last to be credited – that’s the life of a goalkeeper. It's often said that a striker can laze around, shoot blanks and run like a headless chicken for the entire game, but his stoppage (Fergie) time goal makes him the hero. A goalkeeper on the other...
"You can tell he wants the job though"
Oh really? You're telling me Brendan Rodgers wants one of the biggest jobs in world football? Shit, well if he wants it I guess he should be the manager, yeah...
That was one of the reasons fans used when the news broke that Brendan Rodgers had survived the...
It was a far from perfect season to say the least. Some could argue that it was a combination of poor signings, tactical naivety and injuries that were the downfall of Liverpool Football Club. All of which are valid arguments. However, I can't help but wonder how you can go from finishing 2nd to 6th in...
The much maligned 'duo' of Brendan Rodgers and the Liverpool transfer committee have taken much criticism over the past 12 months. To summarise it, the Liverpool fan base is pretty much divided by which side of the fence you take refuge on.

“Thursday nights on Channel 5, Thursday nights on Channel 5” a song that has rung around English grounds for years mocking those clubs who partake in Europe’s secondary competition. First of all, it’s on ITV now but more importantly why is the competition so frowned upon by English football fans? The format? The clubs...
Regarded by most as Liverpool’s best signing from the 2014 summer transfer window, Emre Can has made a promising start to his Anfield career. The midfielder has played the majority of his games at right-sided centre-back of a three, instead of a more familiar role further up the field, because of Rodgers’ attempt to...
A year ago Liverpool fans were dreaming of a promising young manager - Brendan Rodgers - who was going to get better with time and bring success to the club. He evoked comparison with Bill Shankly, the legendary Liverpool coach. A year on, fans are not so sure he's anywhere near a reincarnation of...
I’ve had the distinct honour and privilege to be invited onto the panel of Anfield Index’s own Nina Kauser Show this season. Being part of such a popular call in show immediately after a defeat can be tough, with emotions very raw. Sometimes that can exact reactions that, with the benefit of hindsight and...
