Manchester United v Liverpool – Klopp Needs To Up His Own Game

If you had the chance to listen to the latest edition of ‘Rate, Don’t Hate’ podcast on the Anfield Index, you’ll know that I’m all for some form of shake-up within this current Liverpool team. As it stands, the injury crisis is alarming, and will make certain decisions a necessity when the times comes...

Opinion: We’ve All Been Darwin Nunez

When I was at school, there was a girl who found sheer joy in taking the mickey out of me. She would wind me up whenever she could, and she wouldn't stop. I would always try to keep my cool, but one day, it went too far. I can't remember exactly what it was...

Liverpool v Crystal Palace – Time For Darwin To Explode

No Liverpool fan is happy with how the Reds' opening game against Fulham went, and it really is a question as to who starts this game. Injuries are an issue, but there is still more than enough to collect all three points. The balance of the team needs to be addressed and certain games...

What would Matheus Nunes have brought to Liverpool?

Portuguese media have been linking Matheus Nunes with a move to Liverpool for most of the transfer window. Correio da Manha still claim the Reds are preparing to make a move for the 23-year-old while Pedro Almeida posted a tweet today saying Liverpool are willing to pay €40million for the Brazilian-born Portugal international amid interest...

Opinion: United’s Misery Echoes Our Own Dark Days Pre-Klopp

After tuning in and watching from my sofa as Liverpool were on the wrong side of a 3-0 thumping at Anfield, I remember the feeling crashing over me: "We're not a big club anymore." The date was 29 August 2015, and it was the first time that thought had ever crossed my mind. Here we were,...

Fulham 2 – 2 Liverpool: The Post Mortem

Jurgen Klopp is world class in every sense. His personality, his coaching style, his ability to evolve, his adoration of the wonderful support, and his affection towards his players. It is this last part which can often cause the odd mishap in his spectacular Liverpool reign. His loyalty to certain players is applauded by many,...

Fulham v Liverpool – Time For The Reds To Overwhelm

As much as we all enjoyed the Manchester City win, the community shield stands as a glorified friendly that has little impact on the season. If Liverpool had lost that game, I would have dismissed all agendas towards its significance. But in victory, I happily welcome the plus points that may come in winning...

The Silly Season is (nearly) over…

Silly season(n) 1: a period (such as late summer) when the mass media often focus on trivial or frivolous matters for lack of major news stories 2: a period marked by frivolous, outlandish, or illogical activity or behaviour. There’s been a lot of silliness. It’s roughly two months since the Champions League final. A disappointing end on the pitch...

Darwin – Return Of The Number 9

I wrote just prior to the RB Leipzig friendly how patience was required for all new players. I was keen to state how pre season is nothing more than the warm up to the season, and how we had to trust the process of integrating new arrivals. The match score (and more to the...

My First Liverpool Idols

I was born 12th November, 1981. My very first array of visible LFC memories probably started in the early 90’s. There are a few snippets here and there prior to that, but the problematic period between Graham Souness leaving & Roy Evans taking over, is probably my first absolute batch of memories. I recall my...
