We seem to have become the club with no answers, after spending so long as the opposition that no one had an answer for. Our combative nature was replaced with recycled possession, as teams became unwilling to engage a team that terrified them. At some point along our wave of destruction, everyone got wind...
Looking back, it struck me that very few of my favourite derby memories took place at Anfield. Most were at other grounds – Wembley, Maine Road and Goodison.
The standout games across the park were the 3-2 in 1985, when the teams were arguably the two best sides in Europe, and the 5-0 in 1982....
It wasn’t a surprise to anyone that saw it and truth be told, it’s probably what most Reds had suspected would happen anyway. When a contract renewal didn’t materialise for Naby Keita this summer, it appeared inevitable that a summer exit would be in the offing for the Guinean. Florian Plettenberg’s tweet this week...
 With Sean Dyche making an immediate impact as the new Goodson Park boss, it should make the Merseyside Derby a real occasion this coming Monday. Liverpool appear in free-fall, and with Klopp and Dyche having a past of confrontations (on the side-lines), this should add spice to a glorious night under the Anfield lights.

A few reports surfaced in the latter part of last week, linking Mohamed Salah with a move away from Anfield. PSG have been mentioned as a potential destination, with a fee of around £80m being mentioned. As this season becomes destined to remain a disappointment, it could mean a huge summer overhaul of the...
On late Monday morning, Manchester City were charged with multiple breaches of the Premier Leagues financial rules, that could go back a number of years, to when they were first purchased. I am sure one of my Anfield Index colleagues will delve deeper into what comes next, with a Mo Chatra podcast almost certainly...
It’s been a difficult season for Fabinho and it shows little signs of changing anytime soon. His exclusion from the squad for Wolves was confirmed as down to illness by Jurgen Klopp and truth be told, there were few if any Reds concerned by his absence. It was practically impossible to make an argument...
And just like that, the Reds hit rock bottom, probably.
This sort of result merely adds to the ongoing list of horrors that have engulfed Liverpool FC, so far this season. With Champions League qualification now an unlikely quest for this season, the remainder of our campaign surely becomes about damage limitation. With another dreadful...
It comes around about once every decade. The Scouse vs. Wool, Local vs. Out-Of-Towner debate is a Liverpool staple. This time it’s got a new twist. The suggestion that the club could be bought by Qataris has added an extra wrinkle.
You’re racist if you object to despots.
Tuesday marked the fifteenth anniversary of the formation...
For the entirety of January, I was convinced my football club would recruit that midfielder which was desperately needed. My misguided faith in our owners (doing the right thing) has left me saddened, as I wanted to remember them for all the good they have done for this historical club. It can never be...
