Fabinho
Liverpool’s Brazilian midfielder Fabinho has been reflecting on his first season at Anfield under Jurgen Klopp and how after a brief settling-in period he has gone from strength to strength. The former AS Monaco player’s signature was announced just over a year ago, 24 hours after The Reds had fallen to Real Madrid in the […]
The dust hasn’t yet settled on Liverpool’s sixth Champions League final win in Madrid, which you can tell from the fact that I keep getting tingles every time I write that god damn sentence. But in any case, the speculation has, naturally, turned to what Liverpool are going to do next in the transfer market. […]
It’s always different than how you imagined it. Because imagination can’t possibly predict every emotion. The almost-overwhelming nerves in the build-up, the way your eyes close when the first rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone resounds throughout the Wanda Metropolitano, the sensation of suddenly being eight feet in the air when the ref blows for […]
Former Liverpool legend Xabi Alonso believes Fabinho is a vital cog in midfield for Jurgen Klopp’s current Red machine. Alonso, who tasted Champions League glory with Liverpool in Istanbul in 2005, says that Fabinho’s role in the current Liverpool team is not too unlike his own under Rafa Benitez over a decade ago. The former […]
Define ignominious: Liverpool’s 4-1 defeat away to Tottenham in October 2017. That dank autumn afternoon was Jurgen Klopp’s nadir as Reds manager, at a time when the first few doubts were creeping on about this most charismatic of men. While he wasn’t under the kind of pressure many managers find themselves under at low points, […]
Told Gags I’d do the ratings regardless of the result, but come on, thank fuck we won. Just back from the parade myself. Did you make it? Not a big surprise if you did, given there were 750,000 fans of the Reds knocking about. Oh, apologies. 750,000 fans of the SIX TIME EUROPEAN CUP WINNING […]
Here we go again, back for part two as I conclude my player ratings for Liverpool’s season. You can find part one here, whilst Anfield Index Pro subscribers can find Adam, Tom and I guided by the lovely Kay as we join together for a Rate, Don’t Hate, end of season special two-parter. Virgil van […]
Who would have thought that we’d end up here, huh? After an absolutely tumultuous twelve months for Liverpool, the Reds are back in the same position that they were this time last year, in a Champions League final. Whilst it would be unfair to suggest that Liverpool’s entire season rests on the final game of […]
Pack your bags, we’re going to Madrid. It’s the biggest stage of all in club football, and the Reds will be hoping they can go one better than last year in Kiev. A place in Liverpool folklore waits for the current squad. This year’s UEFA Champions League road to the final in Madrid has proven […]
Who else is suffering from both unrivalled levels of excitement and nerves ahead of the Champions League final? This one really does feel like a must-not-lose, doesn’t it? In truth, Jurgen Klopp finds himself without too much stress ahead of the clash with Tottenham on June 1st, with a fully fit squad to choose from […]
