Liverpool 1 – 2 Leeds – The Postmortem

Decline can be gradual, and decline can usually be hard for supporters to take, but any sporting decline requires reaction from those tasked with running said sporting entities. On Saturday night we saw Liverpool FC run 11km less than their opponents (Leeds United), as reported by Anfield Index’s own Simon Brundish. I’m not a...

Darwin Núñez & His Importance To This Team

I once visited the Amsterdam Arena many many years ago on a youth football trip. We were due to play some games, take advantage of the low drinking age (16 years old back in 1996), and generally have a fun filled trip abroad. The Johan Cruyff Arena is a wonderful venue to visit, and...

Just how many shots is Darwin Núñez taking?

Darwin Núñez is currently taking 7.37 shots per 90 in the Premier League. That seems good, right? But just how good is it? Is it sustainable? If it is, what does that mean about his potential goal scoring for Liverpool? And how drunk would you get if you took a shot every time he...

Curtis Jones: Hard to picture a last-chance saloon

Certain Liverpool players will always polarise fans. That’s been true for decades and even those with great CV’s like Ronnie Whelan have felt the sting at some points. In the current side there are many candidates but based on Saturday's defeat to Forest, Curtis Jones’ surprising start shot him straight to the forefront. Many...

Fábio Carvalho – The Kid Isn’t Ready Yet

The long process in finally signing young Fábio Carvalho came to a close in the summer, with the Fulham target finally making the move to Merseyside. When he arrived, he was to be the understudy in a couple of positions, with senior and established operators ahead of him. When he did finally arrive, Liverpool...

Fabinho: The Conversation that’s Getting Harder to Ignore

Sometimes problems can stare you in the face no matter how much you may want to ignore them. There’s been plenty of examples this season for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool. As the weeks and games go by, it’s becoming increasingly impossible to bury any concerns Reds may have around Fabinho. Too many games have...

Tony Evans: The Henderson Haters Will Never Go Away

Jordan Henderson has a new autobiography out. It will make for interesting reading. Henderson is the most misunderstood and maligned player of the FSG era. He was bought for a position where he was rarely used. Kenny Dalglish envisioned him and Stewart Downing pinging crosses in for Andy Carroll but it never happened. Why? Luis...

Why Liverpool Aren’t Signing Jude Bellingham

Erling Haaland Kylian Mbappe Diego Costa David Silva Yevhen Konoplyanka Sergio Aguero Bruno Fernandes Matteus Nunes Saul Niguez Aurélien Tchouaméni Timo Werner The above listed players represents an extended list of Liverpool targets, that never actually signed for the Merseyside club. This is purely a list off the top my head and would’ve been based around social media speculation, back-page transfer news, and...

Liverpool can sign Jude Bellingham… if top-four finish allows them to

The summer transfer window was rightly dominated by talk of Liverpool signing a new central midfielder, with their inability to do so proving to be unacceptable. We're not counting Arthur, because I'm not even sure he's a real person at this point! Aurelien Tchouameni emerged as a genuine target but opted to join Real Madrid, and...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool

Another week, another poor Liverpool performance. How has this team fallen so far? From chasing an unprecedented quadruple to losing to the team who entered and ended the weekend bottom of the league. Liverpool lost four matches in all of last season. Four defeats in 63 games. This season couldn't be more different. In...
