It’s been a busy summer of ins and outs at Anfield so far this summer, with more to come it seems. But, has this been a good window for Liverpool with the business that has been done? Players In Joel Matip and Marko Grujic arrived this summer, but both deals were agreed back in January, […]
Liverpool’s back four has been an issue that most Liverpool fans are aware of, and was the biggest reason as to why we were not able to lift the Premier League trophy 3 years ago. Our defence has leaked 191 goals in the league for the past four seasons, averaging about 47.7 per season. That […]
As of 1st July 2016, Joel Matip was officially a Liverpool player. The Cameroon international will join the reds on a reported 4-year deal after agreeing a pre-contract in January to become a member of Jurgen Klopp’s renaissance. At 6”3 Matip is a real presence in the air, he won an impressive 75% of his aerial […]
From the past to the present, there are players we adore, there are players we appreciate, there are players we are content with, there are players we are disappointed in, and then there’s Martin Skrtel. The fan base are quite divided in opinion as to how they should bid farewell to the Slovakian who spent […]
With a move for Sadio Mane all but confirmed, I put my Director of Football hat on to consider what next for Liverpool in the summer transfer window. Loris Karius, Marko Grujic and Joel Matip already confirmed to join Liverpool ahead of the new season; Sadio Mane represents a change in direction. The aforementioned three […]
Liverpool’s ridiculously named “transfer committee” has been a hot topic in recent years. Some think they epitomise everything that’s wrong with the club’s transfer strategy, but maybe their detractors are yet to realise that the spine of Klopp’s new-look side is made up of “committee” signings. Emre Can, Roberto Firmino, Divock Origi, and Mamadou Sakho […]
“Write an article about who you would sign if you had £100 million to spend at Liverpool.” AnfieldIndex overlord Gags and editor of the site Dan Rhodes tempted me with this topic. I’ve not replaced Jurgen Klopp as Reds boss, this isn’t Football Manager, Instead I’ve decided to head up the much fabled transfer committee; […]
The Famous “Spine” Every successful team needs one. In the ‘80s Liverpool had Grobbelaar, Hansen, Whelan and Rush. United’s dominance of the ‘90s was largely down to their leaders through the middle – Schmeichel, Bruce, Keane and Cantona. Wenger’s Invincibles had Lehmann, Campbell, Viera and Henry and Chelsea’s successes during the last 12 […]
Liverpool Twitter is hardly ever united. There is always an argument or a disagreement which seems to fracture the fan base, even with Jurgen Klopp in charge. Yet on Tuesday 24th May 2016 the fan base was unequivocally unified as Liverpool announced that they’d signed Mainz ‘keeper Loris Karius. The unity wasn’t because Karius is […]
Yet another season of the Premier League has just ended with a new champion being crowned (how rare is that!) and Liverpool ending in 8th place (not so rare!). Once Liverpool changed their manager in October, it was always known that this season would not be where we would be competing at the top table […]
