The Anfield Index Podcast

On this episode of Transfer Market Metrics, Eddie Gibbs steps in for Dave Davis to join Dr Phil Barter for a data driven look at three Liverpool transfer targets. The opening focus is on highly rated Stuttgart midfielder Chema Andrés, with a deep dive into why his elite defensive numbers have earned him comparisons to Fabinho. The discussion explores his strengths, weaknesses, estimated valuation, development pathway, and whether Liverpool should move now before his price rises. Using detailed statistical comparisons against current and former Liverpool midfielders, the pair assess whether Andrés could become the club's next long term No.6. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Scouser Tommies on Anfield Index, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid look past the ongoing distraction of the World Cup and focus on the highly anticipated return of proper club football. They don’t leave FIFA’s showpiece of integrity completely untouched, however, but safe to say it’s not quite the same coverage you’ll be getting bombarded with if you live in the UK. Turning their focus back home to Anfield, the pair discuss the so-far quiet summer window and some of the holes they’re expecting to see filled, praising the Liverpool-like move for Muñoz, and dismissing some of the "complete nonsense" rumours being made up to fill space. There’s a look ahead to the pre-season and season proper, a discussion on the city’s ability to attract big names from the music business during the summer - and what it’s like to be on the Anfield pitch for one. Even the neighbours get some encouragement this week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
