The 2022/23 season isn't one that will live long in the memory for Liverpool fans, with many no doubt wanting it erased from their minds in a similar way to the 2020/21 campaign.
It's been just as grim at times, only with crowds present.
Far too many players have fallen below the incredible standards they have...

As the final whistle looms over Liverpool's last home match of the season against Unai Emery's Aston Villa, the Reds clutch at the fading whispers of a Champions League spot. It's been a curious campaign, one that saw...
The soccer industry is full of stories of athletes defying the odds to achieve greatness. One such example you will find in these stories is Liverpool. Liverpool is an elite European club with a rich history and has 6 UEFA Championship League and 8 FA Cups.
As a Liverpool fan or some other club or...
After the weekend (which saw several Liverpool legends assemble), I had a little thought about which one I could possibly write about. One of my colleagues has written about the next steps of Steven Gerrard (available this week on Anfield Index), whereas I have chosen to compile what I believe to be the best...
Steven George Gerrard MBE (noun): to evoke warm and incredible memories of a time when a demi-god captained your football team and no matter who was alongside him, you believed anything was possible. Also see: big match winning performances and generational talents. A genuine Reds legend, he showed at the LFC Foundation game against...
Below is a link to an article I wrote before the World Cup, before the melee surrounding the on-going LFC ownership. I was assured in my thinking and rightly justified the reasons we could not afford Jude Bellingham. The logic was sound, as the stated price of £100m simply did not fall within a...
This coming Sunday marks potentially the most important day in Liverpool's season, certainly until the following weekend. The Reds' campaign has been littered with pivotal games, vital weeks, and must win scenarios. This is where the Anfield giants now sit within the hierarchy of all things football, and long may it continue.
Nothing less than...
Stevie Gerrard cemented his role as Aston Villa manager this past weekend when leading his new side into Anfield. The game was full of frustration, and gave mild indications of the manager he is becoming. With an ultra defensive style and formula built to slow the rampaging reds, he showed perhaps too much respect...
Alisson Becker - 5.5
Long stretches of inactivity and some hairy moments led to an up and down afternoon. If these suspect moments see a clean sheet and a probable kick start ensue (before the next run of games), then that’s just fine.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.5
The low blocks and overloading of Gerrard’s Villa frustrated,...
That seems to be the question everyone has been asking since his appointment at Villa Park.Â
Some of the expectations being placed on him are over the top. People want him doing well with Villa in Europe, they want him pushing for the top six, doing well in domestic cups and taking scalps in the...
