We've been collecting Pressing Stats since 2013 on Anfield Index and after watching Liverpool draw with Spurs at Anfield I expected a really rough time when manually collecting these pressing stats. I wasn't wrong as Liverpool pressed the Londoners 239 times which is the second highest ever collected on AnfieldIndex. Whilst Liverpool will always miss Roberto...
Borussia Dortmund are up there with the best teams in Europe this season. They're currently only five points behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. That may sound like a big gap but given just how good Bayern have been this season it's some achievement for Dortmund to even be within touching distance as the...
Liverpool travel to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund on Thursday night in the first leg of the quarter finals of the Europa League.
Thursday's game promises to be quite the spectacle with a return to Germany for Jurgen Klopp making all the headlines in the build up to the crucial tie. Both sides will be...
It's ingrained in every single one of us from birth. It's second nature. It's inbuilt.
Bias.
No matter how fair we all try to be we look at things with rose tinted glasses from time to time and it can't be helped. If you see a nice pair of trainers in a colour you dislike they're...
Liverpool need an Argentine, but no one was expecting this one.

A few weeks ago, this writer published his ideal choices for a midfielder, shopping outside of the Bundesliga (which can be found here). Here, encompassing the homeland of Liverpool’s new manager, are this writer’s four picks from the Bundesliga to strengthen Liverpool’s midfield, in part two of our search for a defensive midfielder.

Everybody is for sale, kind of.
There are bounties on the heads of the majority of Liverpool players as we head into open season also known as the Summer transfer window.
Every single player has a price.
Chairmen may talk a big game but at the end of the day they're just like every other salesman in...
A draw at home to Spurs. It's not the worst result but given how the game progressed, Liverpool fans must be disappointed not to be walking away with three points. Both teams went for the win and although Liverpool tried their very best to give the ball away to Spurs on many occasions, it...
A slow, error filled first-half was followed by an entertaining second-half as both teams fought hard and ultimately walked away with the share of the spoils.
Let's see how the Reds fared tonight..
Simon Mignolet (6.5) - A relatively safe first-half for Mignolet, but for the usual indecisiveness which put the team in bother on at...
