Liverpool 2 – 2 Wolves – The FA Cup Post-Mortem

As we approach another Premier League fixture, we can now look at the Reds as having struggled in every single competition this season. In the pre-match build up to Saturday's game there was a real sense of belief, with the manager opting for his most valuable starting eleven. That game saw Wolverhampton Wanderers arrive...

How Does Matheus Nunes Compare to Moisés Caicedo

I have recently carried out individual profiles Nunes and Caicedo, to look at whether they represent separate targeting ideals or whether they are both equally required assets. In terms of their suitability, both these young midfielders would enhance our current squad and would enhance the system we seemed to have lost. This is the second...

Liverpool 2 – 2 Wolves – FA Cup Player Ratings

Liverpool 2 - 2 Wolves - FA Cup Player Ratings Starting XI Alisson Becker - 5.0 Confirmed as the FA Cup keeper again, he’s been the reds best player so far this season. In a rare moment of uncertainty, he gave away the opening goal with a very poor pass out. Made a solid save shortly thereafter,...

Tony Evans: Klopp’s Team Capitulated, He Needs to Sort it Out, Quickly!

The performance in the 3-1 defeat by Brentford was unacceptable. There were so many things wrong that it’s hard to know where to start. It was not the way to open the new year. Everyone is looking for scapegoats and has their own theory: the midfield is an ongoing problem; the tactics have stopped working;...

Is Matheus Nunes the Midfield Alternative?

One of my Anfield Index colleagues has been compiling a comparison piece that relates this this one. The topic of that article will be a direct comparison between Matheus Nunes and Jude Bellingham. The latter is perhaps the most linked player to Anfield in all of football history, which is a very difficult prize...

Lessons Learned: Brentford

Where to even start with this one. A hard watch for all Reds against Brentford, as Liverpool were outfought, outrun and came away with what they deserved from the Gtech Community stadium. The outcry on social media was vast and no-one escaped, all the way from the manager to the owners. Liverpool’s season appears...

Liverpool 2 – 1 Leicester – Premier League Player Ratings

Liverpool 2 - 1 Leicester - Premier League Player Ratings Starting XI Alisson Becker - 6.0 The worlds greatest keeper, it’s a joy to have him back. Could do little for the opening goal and had to react well after that. Was a little too busy through the second half, without really having to over extend himself. Trent...

Gakpo a Good Start, The Ending is Key

The natural excitement around the signing of Cody Gakpo is both expected and understandable. Liverpool needed an attacker and they went out and got a good one, especially in what can be considered real value in today’s market. The Dutchman’s signing will give everyone around the club a boost and help reinforce the belief...

Could Moisés Caicedo Be the One?

Jude, Enzo, Declan, and now Moisés. These are the names that have been most notably linked with a January move to Liverpool, so with the transfer window now almost upon us, it could be that another signing is about to be confirmed. Cody Gakpo has this week been unveiled as the Reds' new forward addition, with...

Sofyan Amrabat & The Low-Cost Alternative 

By stepping away from the Enzo & Jude propaganda for a moment, it brings the realisation that a more affordable midfielder may be needed this coming January. No single man (apart from perhaps John Henry) can be aware of the funds that are currently available, especially with Julian Ward serving his final few months...
