Liverpool Manager? One That’s “Ours”

I always said to the mighty Anfield Index Godfather, Gags, that I’d write one article for him. Just never thought it would be this one! Brendan Rodgers aka Janet Jackson - what have you done for me lately? Oooooh ooooooh ooooooh ooooooohhhhhhhhh yeah. As I waited once the whistle was blown at Goodison today, you didn’t wave....

Liverpool’s Problems Extend Far Beyond Brendan Rodgers

The pressure on Brendan Rodgers couldn’t be greater, and the cracks are beginning to show, just as they did for Liverpool managers of the past. The end of days for recent Liverpool managers has been signalled with a loss of their public dignity, and Rodgers is no different to the rest in this regard....

Everton v Liverpool: 3 Things To Think About

Ahead of the Merseyside derby this Sunday, Liverpool head into the historic tie under immense pressure. Unlike previous encounters, the Reds aren't the favourites. Brendan Rodgers has led the squad through a hail of poor performances and is only just holding onto his job, Daniel Sturridge has the weight of a club on his dodgy...

Walking On Through The Storm

It’s a stressful thing supporting modern Liverpool. Far more than just following a football team, having a pint, and hoping they will win the match when they take the field, which, after all, is what it really should be about. We fret about everything now. Fellow Reds willingly offer counsel on this matter on...

A No-Win Situation For Brendan Rodgers

"Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds." Franklin Roosevelt "Win a no-win situation by rewriting the rules." Harvey Spector, Suits In medieval times, folk had altogether different notions of what constituted a bad person. With predictable misogyny, it was often the ladies who came off the worst, what with that era's unsettling...

Pepijn Lijnders – The Managerial Wildcard?

"Keep your friends close but your enemies closer." I recently read an article on this site by the talented Rory Greenfield. It was a piece about why Jurgen Klopp was the sole candidate to take over as Liverpool FC manager if Brendan Rodgers were to leave. He talks about his playing style and what he'd...

FSG: The Caretakers Role coming to an end?

A desolate house gives off a bad first impression. You see the exterior and it's judged purely on that. You don't see what's beneath the cod web and boarded up windows. You look at the rickety, rotted beams that barely keep the house standing and think it's just been poorly looked after. Set foot on...

Dysfunctional Transfers And The End For Rodgers?

Since Rodgers has taken over at Liverpool 33 first team players have been signed on a permanent basis with a total of £270.50m spent. However, no significant improvement has been made. The first reason for this can be explained by the phrase “you have to spend to stand still”. This is best shown by Chelsea...

Same Old Brendan, But It’s Really FSG’s Fault

Before I start let me premise this article by saying I know its only four games into the new season. I accept there are injuries and some new players to fully settle into the squad/club. It’s early days and none of the big clubs, bar Manchester City, have had a good start and there’s...

Main Stand’s Naming Rights: Good or Bad?

It's clearly a good thing, who are we kidding? Rumours broke in the media that Liverpool were looking to sell the naming rights for the new stand that's under construction. You'd assume this would be a positive and fans would react accordingly so but apparently it's "small time", "plastic" and "beneath a club with such...
