The Champions League Isn't Needed for LFC to Strengthen
Lucky number Slevin is a good film. If you haven't already seen it then you should put aside two hours of your life and give it a watch. There will be no spoilers in this piece but the plot is built around a con named 'The Kansas City Shuffle'. It's hard to really put into words what this con revolves around but Wikipedia does it's best -
In order for a confidence game to be a "Kansas City Shuffle" the …
Wingers Liverpool could target to ease Klopp's concerns
"We have enough strikers – five with Roberto [Firmino] – but not too many wingers, just a few young ones with great potential."
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp gave fans the biggest Easter egg yet with regards to his summer transfer plans when he implied that Liverpool are a bit light in the winger department. It's not exactly a shock, Liverpool's only first team winger is Jordon Ibe, there's an obvious need for width in the squad but it's not a …
Liverpool's Wishlist: Mario Götze & Two Other Attacking Targets
Amidst a few troubles as of late for Jürgen Klopp’s redmen (that phrase in itself gives this writer more motivation for this article than any article written under Brendan Rodgers), the need for goals ranks highest of all. Well, perhaps second to injuries, but at least goals are something that can be altered to favour the excitable German domineering the sidelines. Christian Benteke is the biggest issue of the lot; he clearly doesn’t belong anywhere near a Jürgen Klopp Liverpool …
Liverpool Linked With 'The Serbian Robben' Filip Kostic
Last week the Serbian website Mozzart Sport linked Liverpool with a move for VFB Stuggart winger Filip Kostic.
The 23 year old is only in his second season playing for the Bundesliga side but has been steadily improving ever since joining them. Signed from FC Groningen, who ply their trade in the Eredivisie, the winger cost the German side 7 million Euros when he signed for them in the summer of 2014. Prior to his move he'd helped fire Groningen to …
Time For Reflection - Liverpool's Squad Options
Wow, just wow. In the last three league games Liverpool have been taken apart by Newcastle United, West Bromwich Albion and most recently Watford. If you looked at those fixtures at the start of the season the only game you as a fan would have been sonewhat worried about is Newcastle away. As poor as they were playing recently they always up their game against Liverpool. Who can forget what was voted one of the greatest games ever games in …
Jürgen Klopp's Midfield Unit
Hello again Anfield Index, it's been a while. Sorry I've taken some time since my last article, but apparently being in the final year of your degree is quite time-consuming. Moving on, in this piece I will be attempting to analyse what I consider the most important component of any Klopp system: the midfield. Most will tell you that Klopp's preferred shape is a 4-2-3-1, which I agree with, and I'll start by discussing what the manager tends to expect from …
Bundesliga Attackers That Would Improve Liverpool
Liverpool’s lack of goals, both this season and last, have become something of a concern. So far this season, before victory against Chelsea this past weekend, Liverpool had scored more than one goal in a Premier League match on only one occasion, against a woeful Aston Villa side. A tally of just 52 goals last season suggests this is not a new problem and it can’t just be put down to the loss of Luis Suarez or the injuries to …
