Neil Jones has stated this week that there is potentially a list of players that the Reds will target, though only if Champions League qualification is secured this season. Failure to secure a top four finish in the Premier League (or win the European Cup) would therefore make such players unobtainable, thereby forcing Liverpool...
What a week it’s been, uttered all Liverpool fans on Wednesday. As the festive feeling well and truly ended at Brentford and the new year malaise set in, the attention seemed to shift rather dramatically towards Pep Lijnders and his ‘growing influence’ at Anfield.
This reached a fever pitch with an article released by Daily...
It’s just rolls from bad to worse. This wasn’t a defeat but it had all the feelings of one. Jurgen Klopp selected what he views as his strongest XI and they limped to a draw against a relegation-threatened, second string Wolves side at Anfield. A ‘fortunate’ VAR call means the reds are still in...
With the festive period of the Premier League now complete, the Reds can at least avert their attentions to a less pressure inducing competition. As the reigning and defending champions of the FA Cup, one may feel that this Liverpool side will do all in their power to retain their piece of silverware. Given...
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;...
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...
It’s annoying to use a quote that Gary Neville’s made in recent times, but as he’s stated “things are never as bad as they seem and never as good as they appear”. Things don’t appear to be good with Liverpool’s team and especially the midfield right now, but it’s not beyond repair and the...
Welcome to 2023, everyone - Liverpool are still an absolute nightmare to watch.
Monday's dire 3-1 defeat away to Brentford was the latest in a long line of unacceptable performances this season and they were deservedly punished for it.
A run of four Premier League wins in a row may have been encouraging, but ultimately, those...
With a couple of days to reflect and take a sensible view on Liverpool’s last outing, it was still something close to dreadful. We have had too many abject performances so far this term, with resulting theories and opinions thrown about by the fan base like confetti. The conspiracies surrounding Pep Lijnders and his...
For all the questions that Jurgen Klopp answers at the press conferences from reporters or articles from patch journalists, there appears no way of stopping some Reds reacting to every word written or uttered. None more than the ever reliable Paul Joyce of The Times, whose most recent report stated that Liverpool’s business is...
