I want to open this piece by pointing out that Phillipe Coutinho was my favourite player at Liverpool. For the last two or three seasons now, Phil has been Liverpool’s best player and has developed into a real, real talent. The fact that I wrote an article about him two weeks ago saying he’s...
Virgil van Dijk made his Liverpool debut and scored a winner in front of the Kop in a Merseyside Derby as Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 in a truly hilarious and bizarre game of football. But what were the key stats from the game?
Merseyside is Red
Everton have now gone 16 games against Liverpool without winning...
TELL YER MA, YER MA,
TO WIPE AWAY ALL YOUR TEARS,
NO TROPHIES FOR 20 YEARS,
TELL YEAR MA, YER MA.
Thanks to big Virgil Van Dijk, Liverpool fans will be able to sing that for another year yet.
It was touch and go at times, especially when the Reds spontaneously combusted defensively to let Gylfi Sigurdsson level up,...
Some things are just meant to be, such as Everton not winning at Anfield. What looked to be heading towards another frustrating Anfield derby this season turned into a game that put a 75 million pound smile on every Red's face. Virgil van Dijk got the winner at the Kop end on his debut...

It's now 16 games undefeated in all competitions for Liverpool, the best run Klopp has enjoyed since his arrival on Merseyside. They have won 11 and drawn 5 since the 4-1 hammering suffered...

Whilst having a world record defender is great, Liverpool can’t expect Van Dijk to solve the team’s defensive problems alone. Almost every team...
Over the last month or so we have seen Jurgen Klopp increasingly trust his squad which has seen him rotate a number of his first choice eleven in and out of the side. With the added demands of European football, it was clear Klopp was going to have to utilise his squad players a...
A couple of years ago, I wrote an article here on Anfield Index about Jordan Henderson (which you can read if you click here). Essentially, I made a case for Henderson returning from what has turned to be the first in a growing list of injuries for the midfielder. At the time, I felt...
Liverpool came back from behind to win 2-1 with Leicester on Saturday after a blunder from Joel Matip saw Jamie Vardy put the visitors in front after just three minutes. Klopp's side responded well though, moving the ball around nicely and creating several chances for the in-form Mo Salah.
It seemed to be an off-day...
The New Year. A time for reflection, but also time to look forward. Forward for the Reds, forward for Jurgen Klopp.
I doubt the beautiful German will have 'go to the gym more' or 'catch up on the soaps' on his resolutions list, but here are a few Liverpool related issues he might want to...
