After the weekend (which saw several Liverpool legends assemble), I had a little thought about which one I could possibly write about. One of my colleagues has written about the next steps of Steven Gerrard (available this week on Anfield Index), whereas I have chosen to compile what I believe to be the best...
What do Gini Wijnaldum, Andy Robertson and Xherdan Shaqiri all have in common? They’re all Jurgen Klopp signings who’ve done well and crucially, been bought from clubs that were relegated. Value is value wherever you find it though and if the rumours are to be believed then Liverpool may potentially be looking to repeat...
Steven George Gerrard MBE (noun): to evoke warm and incredible memories of a time when a demi-god captained your football team and no matter who was alongside him, you believed anything was possible. Also see: big match winning performances and generational talents. A genuine Reds legend, he showed at the LFC Foundation game against...
This used to be a game I would relish, in the knowledge that Liverpool would take the fight to their most recent domestic rivals. Though the silverware count is very much in favour of Pep Guardiola and City, so is the amount of Premier League charges that have come their way. If not for...
Come the 1st August, Liverpool will be desperately hoping they’re not looking like fools as they get set to face Manchester City after the international break. With the business end of the season now read to swing into gear, there can’t be anymore false dawns if what has been a shitshow of a season...
The evolution of systems and formations come about every few years. Some coaches will persevere with their trusted ideologies, whereas others will fall on their sword, in a desperate bid to stand their ground. During this disastrously poor season for Liverpool FC, transition is the word that has been uttered nearly as much as...
Jurgen Klopp is known to be a fan of working with a smaller squad, so players that can offer versatility in multiple positions have always been popular with him. FSG love value, so if there’s no transfer fee then even better for them. In this scouting report, we look at a player that can...
In terms of modern-day football and essentially when representing an elite footballing club, it’s important to know when to manage the rigours of top tier competition. The likes of Jamie Carragher, Paul Scholes, and James Milner, all brought their international tenures to an early halt in order to add longevity to their domestic careers....
Another year goes by, which brings us to the moment where James Milner is primed to be given yet another 1 year’s contract extension.
Â
I’m a fan of James Milner, as I believe he has a superb attitude for football, can offer vast experience (to younger players) and can be a senior presence on the...
With the international break just about at a close, it has perhaps offered a little more insight into how England will build for the next major tournament. The European Championships are in June 2024; therefore the next 15 months will be about players solidifying their spots in that future squad. Some players, like Trent...
