Is Darwin Nunez about to have a Luis Suarez-esque explosion?
The Uruguayan's Double Against Newcastle Sparks Comparisons with Luis Suarez
The Match That Changed Everything
What threatened to be a hideous defeat to Newcastle on Sunday ended up being one of the most joyous away wins in Liverpool's history, in an unfathomable turn of events. At 1-0 down and with Virgil van Dijk shown his marching orders, you could be forgiven for feeling incredibly downbeat, with absolutely nothing going right.
The Context: A Struggling Liverpool

Luis Suarez: We Could Never Get Enough
The Controversial Yet Genius Career of Luis Suarez
As Liverpool fans, we've been lucky to witness an amazing collection great players throughout the history of the club. No matter your age, you'll have seen great players wearing the famous red shirt. Everybody has their favourites, everyone has their own choice as to who the best they've seen is.
Often, people's views on who the greatest player in club history is will be influenced by their age and the era they …
Will this be Mo Salah's final season in a Liverpool shirt?
When Mo Salah arrived at Liverpool in 2017, few would scarcely have believed the heights he would hit at Anfield in the six years that have followed.
Let's not forget that some even thought he was being signed as a backup option to Sadio Mane. Genuinely!
There is no question that Salah is now one of the greatest players in Liverpool's history, though, belonging firmly in the same company as Steven Gerrard, Kenny Dalglish, John Barnes, Ian Rush, Graeme Souness, …
Favourite LFC Signings And Worst LFC Departures: Good Buys And Goodbyes: Part 2
So myself and Trev were having a chat because neither of us could think of what to write this week. We'd both had ideas but none of them seemed to be worth pursuing at this moment in time. It's the transfer window, people want transfer related content and being the kind, considerate lads that we are we thought it best to give the people what they want.
We settled on the concept of favourites signings and least favourite sales, with …
Darwin Núñez is Elite and Here's Why
After several years of having the front three set in stone, the Liverpool attack has undergone a major revolution in the last 18 months or so. It's not currently clear who the favoured trio are.
The man at the centre of the conundrum is Darwin Núñez. The Reds will be hoping he is their most expensive signing of all time, as for that to be the case both he and the team will need to have been successful enough to …
Liverpool’s Greatest Premier League Eleven
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 Liverpool eleven from the Premier League era.
This is a debate that can be argued until fans are red in the face, yet for me, it’s …
Could Ben Doak Be the New Raheem Sterling?
Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard, and Trent Alexander Arnold were promoted through the Liverpool academy, with early performances creating a major buzz within the Reds' fan base. Despite young Ben Doak not being produced within Kirkby, this has not stopped us all salivating at what could be and the next few games could be an interesting watch, as we wait to see what this young prodigy can deliver. Whereas one of my Anfield Index colleagues, Dave Davis, has written …
Is Mohamed Salah the best player in world football?
For the best part of 20 years, Lionel Messi has been the best player in the world. The likes of Luis Suarez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Robert Lewandowski and even Gareth Bale have all been in contention for the second-best player in the world title at various times, but they’ve never eclipsed the Argentine maestro, not in my opinion anyway. A few have gotten close, but I can’t recall any of them surpassing the legendary Barcelona forward over an entire 12 …
Liverpool FC should officially apologise for its treatment of Patrice Evra
The tragic killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the consequent protests that followed led Liverpool FC's players, reportedly at the request of Georginio Wijnaldum and Virgil Van Dijk, to share an image of them taking a knee, together, in symbolic protest to that killing and the wider treatment of black people within society.

It was a warming display of unity from a group of players assembled from across the world, with different experiences and upbringings. But it was …
The What Could Have Been Liverpool XI: Attack
There have been several players in Liverpool’s recent past who have enjoyed the best football of their careers at Anfield and inscribed themselves into the club’s history with memorable performances.
Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres — to name but three — either spent all of their careers or, in Gerrard’s case as good as, with the Reds or — with Torres as an example — enjoyed their career-best runs of form in a Liverpool shirt.
There have been …
