Everton FC
Valentín Barco as Roberton’s Successor As news of the ten-point deduction enforced upon Liverpool’s neighbourhood rivals, Everton, swirls around until the Premier League resumes (another international break), this led me to think more about Manchester City than the unlucky Merseyside blues. I saw the League champions late summer acquisitions of Joško Gvardiol and Jérémy Doku, […]
Merseyside Derby Clash With the most recent international break now at a thankful end, an inevitable 12.30 kick-off on Saturday lunchtime awaits the battle of Merseyside, as Everton make the trip across Stanley Park for their away day at Anfield. Game week nine represents nearly a quarter of the season, one which currently sees the […]
The Art of the Soundbite Bill Shankly was the master of the soundbite, the one-liner, the quip. Imagine how he’d be on Twitter in 2023, with Everton struggling every year. Even their own fans want to draw the curtains when they’re playing these days. Jürgen Klopp also has a way with words, which is all […]
There is no doubt that Mo Salah is a Liverpool great. He has been the cutting edge of the Jurgen Klopp era. Unfortunately, he’s dropped down a gear just at the moment and he needs to step up another level. We’ve come to expect more than seven goals in half a Premier League season. He’s […]
79% of possession, 23 shots and 12 corners and yet somehow, Liverpool came away with just a point against The Ev. Jurgen Klopp delivered a roll of the dice before kick-off, opting to demote Philippe Coutinho and Bobby Firmino to the bench in favour of Dominic Solanke and Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Being all sniffy at a one goal win against the other lot from across the park, but such was the paucity of Everton’s defence and attack (including the slowest forward line in their history) that I wanted at […]
Liverpool head into the Merseyside derby on the back of a highly impressive 3-0 win in midweek. Admittedly Middlesbrough weren’t the toughest opposition Jurgen Klopp and his men will face this season, but the ruthless and stylish manner of their win will not have gone unnoticed amongst their title rivals. Everton have made a habit […]
“A Jedi Knight? Jeez, I’m out of it for a little while, everyone gets delusions of grandeur!” Deal with it Han Solo, he’s definitely a Jedi! A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, Everton thought they were striking back. They almost did. They had the 1984/85 season where they amassed 90 points […]
It’s almost derby day! And as part of Anfield Index’s countdown to Liverpool’s trip to Goodison Park on Saturday, I have teamed up with 4 of the sites writers to bring you a special build up to the game. Be sure to follow all of the writers on twitter by clicking the links in the […]
