The Anfield Talk engagement report
@TheAnfieldTalk - 500K followers on X
Measured over 45 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 28, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.2K interactions against 500K followers, an engagement rate of 0.233%. Measured over 45 original posts, its engagement rate beats 81% of 3,899 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 58K times each, and 2.00% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 11.6% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 45 posts sampled, 80% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 39K interactions, about 34x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #lfc, #cpfc.

Compared with accounts its own size
The Anfield Talk's engagement rate beats 81% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 69% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

(🟢) NEW: We thought Gakpo leaving was dead in the water, but Spurs are very much at the table. Liverpool’s stance could be softening as they get closer to completing a deal for Bradley Barcola. The Barcola fee has come down from £145m to £125m, but that’s still around the Premier League record fee paid for Isak. We could be looking at a deal around the £120m mark.
