Every Goal from LFC's 1996/97 Season | Fowler tops the scoring charts

It was the deadly duo of Robbie Fowler and Stan Collymore that scored 30 between them in the 1996/97 season, and in which a young Michael Owen made his Premier League debut for the Reds.

This was our best 90's team ... Fowler and Collymore were in their prime, Barnes and Thomas re-emerged to make big contributions, Berger was a great signing, Owen made his debut ... United won the league with a pathetic 75 points ... and we quite often looked like the best team in the league. But as always, we just couldn't remain consistent ... every great performance was soon followed by stupid dropped points.

[@bhutochakrabarti4173]

And James calamity followed . These players were excellent in their hey day but too unfocused and inconsistent to win the league . A shame that such a excellent team didn't win anything .

[@isyrafazmin182]

3:41 the linesman HAHAHAHAH

[@rzltfni4724]

Robbie fowler just force the linesman to celebrate together..lhahah

Fowler was a goal scoring machine!

This was legendary John Barnes last season at club

[@dantheman5745]

11:18 The first Liverpool goal I ever saw. In the U.S., ESPN had started showing Premier League matches and I had heard of LFC, so I watched. What a match! 4-3 Liverpool, with Fowler winning it right at the death. I was hooked, and have been a Liverpool fan ever since. Now, if I could only watch 1 team out of all sports, it'd be Liverpool.

[@marcnoonan1672]

Your profile pic wouldn't be the Bengals would it? My first ever NFL game I accidentally watched was the Bengals

[@cmjones83]

Bjornebye's crossing was an absolute joy.

[@Gifdr]

That creamy kit was my brothers first ever Liverpool shirt.

[@mikesutton381]

Absolutely loving these videos. Please dont make us wait too long for the next one

[@kbkingful]

Collymore was a joy to watch at that time. He deserves more ruputation at Liverpool.

[@blackghost10sg]

too sweet too short

[@ismailniyaz5167]

This was a season when we were deep in the title race, then lost at home to Coventry bloody City and threw it away. Man United actually won the league with only 75 points...

[@classicsportclassictiyl8547]

the opportunity was there in front of them with United's shock defeat to Derby the day before Roy Evans was damaged goods after this season

[@justthetruth1]

Lost 2-1 at home to Coventry after being 1-0 up, two errors by David James, would've went top of the league with 5 games to go. Ultimately not good enough in key areas.

[@simondelaney6483]

Needed a top class keeper and James was nowhere near being that

[@classicsportclassictiyl8547]

and the draw at Forest was a killer as well David James was at fault for Forest's goal then as well on top of the Man Utd game where he was disaster

[@SFNDMK]

The fact this Liverpool side didn't win the league hurts my heart

[@danielmccafferty5373]

The fact that the 13/14 side didn't win the league hurts my heart 😂🥲🥲

[@liamgreen447]

Can still remember the afternoon Robbie got his 100th vs Middlesbrough. Was 12 at the time and was with school friends watching our local team Wisbech Town at their then home ground Fenland Park. I was a Year 7 and one of my Year 7 friend's Year 10 brother was there with his mates and one of them had a radio that he usually brought to games to keep up with the Premiership. I can remember him calling out those 4 Fowler goals and being dead excited for Match of the Day that night. Football seemed even more exciting at that age somehow. Those were really great days.

[@gerilishyaya9969]

13:04 what a finished solo goal💪💪

[@weirdunclebob]

How is that a solo goal? There were three passes from 13:04 before Fowler's volley! lol

the Best 90's Team

[@STEJODALT]

💦 Love watching these old games. Love the beautiful goal nets. So much easier on the eye than the horrible, ugly box nets we have nowadays.

[@Blaktista]

9:09 the first goal I ever saw live 😁

[@ChristianGal23_]

What a team that was!👍

[@genralporsjon]

Main problem was defence. Wrighty was good but Kvarme, Babb, Ruddock, Matteo and Scales weren’t exactly champions material CBs. Just another case of “missing one signing”.

[@1980extremeG]

Yeah exactly. Those players were mostly average at best (Scales wasn't too bad though). Best attacking team in the league at the time but conceded too many goals, goalkeeper too unreliable and the midfield lacked guile. United had better players in those key areas (Keane, Schmeichel) sadly, which helped them big time. I don't think their defence was that great either but they had more grit than us, could grind out ugly results, whereas we would falter and drop points against lesser teams. It's a scandal that this side only won one league cup, should have won more.

[@samroberts3741]

Well, and the goalkeeper, which was even more vitally needed for years.

[@anthonyhardy2946]

[@saulsilver5753]

Those home kits were lowkey 🔥

[@hellgrind7473]

The real mystery of England's 98 world cup story was not Beckham's red card but Le Saux or perhaps Darren Anderton was in selection priority at the expense of Mc Manaman.why??!

[@GREGGFOWL]

Because england switched their formation from the usual 4-4-2 (which would accomodate macca on the left wing) into 3-5-2 so the midfield were 2 fullbacks as wingers. If you asked why the change of formation? because gazza (who's the 1st choice cm in 4-4-2) were a mess before the world cup with his alchohol abuse so ommited from the squad.

[@samroberts3741]

@@GREGGFOWL but macca was a fb with anderton at euro 96. These must have been defensive fbs.

[@hiraldo_]

Hoddle stuck to 3-4-1-2, and unlike when Venables played with wingbacks (using McManaman as one), had pigeonholed McManaman as an attacking midfielder, with Gascoigne and then Scholes instead taking up the spot behind the strikers. But he should have been one of the first few names on the teamsheet at that time, with the formation possibly being adjusted to fit him in. Only receiving about 15 minutes in France at the end of the Colombia game was a massive waste of McManaman at his peak.

[@jonathanmcaleece9834]

I always thought Berger was some player too

[@spicenug]

I loved Berger.

[@gh.7631]

then we had Robbie , Now we have Bobbie.

9:20 Carragher's first ever goal for LFC (of not many) 😅

[@max_NS]

This season broke me as supporter

[@KevinShoreHealthyEating]

This was an excellent Liverpool team that should have won the Premier League. Instead Man Utd won it with the lowest ever points total. Very edgy in defense and lacked the consistency, losing to Coventry City at home was so costly. Dropped too many points at Anfield this season and had they accumulated the same number of points at Anfield as they had the season before, they would have won the league.

[@TheghostInthewickerchair]

as much as the goals arw delightful, I cant help but remember none of these seasons had a good end result.

Norwegian left back

[@liamgreen447]

Though I think Stan was better that Baros, he doesn't half remind me of him. Sometimes he would strike a ball real sweet but I can remember many a time when he would get a horrible connection that would sometimes still go in but more often than not, wouldn't. Baros was the same. So was Cisse really. They did well to earn the money they did.

Collymore had two good seasons - why did Evans sell him?

[@markwilton4403]

By all accounts (if you listen to players who were in that squad) he was toxic in the dressing room and his performances on the pitch weren't worth the hassle he created off it. He was retired about 5 years later so he went rapidly downhill

6:31 the game against Boro is always my favourite game during Evan's era. The strongest ever Liverpool team in 90s. God with his 100th goal. Cheeky celebration with Macca by looking at the watches. Totally destroyed the Boro (they almost couldn't play because of injury crisis). They should have won the league that season but unfortunately we had to wait till 2020
