How Liverpool let the 2013-14 Premier League slip away

[@Zinomulla-]

People forgot that Liverpool were still on top after that match what really killed them was the 3-3 draw against Crystal Palace

[@redkhamelejoon1599]

Finally someone actually remembers. Blowing that 3 goal lead had Suarez crying cause he knew they screwed up big time 👍👍

History repeats itself once again

[@ColGesso]

@@redkhamelejoon1599 even if they’d hung on and won 3-0 against CP, it wouldn’t have mattered. At that point they were set to tie Man City and Man City was up +9 in goal differential. They would have had to win like 12-0.

[@aussiegreek4993]

City still had a game in hand when Liverpool drew 3-3 at palace

[@Zinomulla-]

@@aussiegreek4993 but if they had won this game they would have gone first and had been level on goal difference with city then again if they gotten a point against Chelsea they would have won the league

It was Kolo Toures fault when he passed it to ODEMWINGIOooo at West Brom

That slip by Steven Gerrard from Mahamadou Sakho's pass was horrific. Liverpool just intended to go out and blow them away, but struggled to break them down and lost 2-0 to a team that rested players for a midweek European Cup game v Athletico Madrid.

[@omalone1169]

Did they go out?

[@zubairhoosen8441]

I was around 12 at the time and I vividly remember the disappointment in my dad's face as we both sat there dumbstruck, ofcourse Gerrard would also go along and lose his final game for Liverpool💔

The 2013/14 Premier League season imparted a crucial lesson: a formidable attack can only take you so far, while a solid defence can secure victory. One cannot succeed without the other; both are essential. Manchester City exemplified this balance with a potent offence, netting 102 goals thanks to the prolific efforts of Aguero, Dzeko, and particularly Yaya Touré, coupled with a staunch defence that conceded only 37 goals, the second-best record in the league. In contrast, Liverpool boasted an impressive attack with 101 goals but were let down by a porous defence that allowed 50 goals. Chelsea, the third contender in the title race, had the opposite issue. Under Jose Mourinho's management, they had the league's strongest defence, conceding just 27 goals. However, their lacklustre attack, with only 71 goals scored-about 30 less than both Liverpool and City-proved costly. The underperformance of their strikers Torres, Eto'o, and Ba, who collectively managed only 19 goals, was a significant factor in their failure to clinch the title. Mourinho addressed this shortfall by acquiring Costa the following year, which promptly resulted in a championship win.

Henderson's injury cost liverpool the league that year, Henderson playing as a number 6 won us the league in 2020 Respect #JH14

Who come here again after Liverpool loss 0-1 from Crstal Palace at Anfield 2024??? 😅

[@Mo3bdulla]

It’s happening AGAIN

[@jacquesprocureur9967]

The imaginary "Sterling offside" at Etihad stadium cost Liverpool title 2013-14

[@johnjohn76ify]

People talk about the slip. I say that it was a horror first touch by Gerrard. Ba was already getting away when Gerrard fell.

[@ay613]

They conceded too many goals.

[@mitchelljack1590]

Great video

[@Orillionn]

Jose Mourinho ❤❤❤

[@donttalkoverbarz3785]

So basically, Liverpool being in a title race was all Gerrards work, but losing it in the last 4 games was everyone’s fault except Gerrards? 😂

[@davidvarey5072]

Gerard, was finished by the point. He couldn’t read the game well enough to play the defendant role pace has gone very couldn’t play upfront anymore. Look how many goals have conceded that season. Anybody else would’ve got called out he was the defending midfielder he couldn’t play.

[@jerodallen]

Nah slip away is crazy

[@pf7746]

There's a lot of nonsense talked about that season, including here. Liverpool could have played for a draw against Chelsea, but their winning streak had come from an attacking mindset, so suddenly playing for a draw would not have come naturally. The fact is that Mourinho (love him or hate him) produced a tactical masterclass, and Liverpool lost. It happens - it doesn't make it a bottle job. Similarly v Palace, Liverpool decided to go for it, having gone 3-0 up in the hope that they might some pressure on City's goal difference. It was a gamble that didn't come off but was worth taking. Again, not a bottle job. Bottle jobs are when teams revert to negativity when the key moments arrive - Liverpool did the opposite. City won the League that year, and Liverpool didn't, because City were 2 points better. (At least until the City FFP charges are resolved. 😉)

[@InstigatorDJ]

Oh please Liverpool over performed in that season. Luis Suarez carried the team by himself.

[@urbanlegend5038]

slippy GGGGGG

[@omalone1169]

And then Sunderland won at Chelsea

[@About37Hobos]

I love your content but Imma skip this one, don’t need the hurt right now.

[@jahterminatedlmao5473]

bro is getting psychological and trying to find some deeper reason when the simple fact is that liverpool wouldve won if gerrard didnt slip and they didnt bottle the palace game 😂

[@ColGesso]

They would have needed to beat Crystal Palace by 11 goals for it to even matter. Winning 3-0 would still have meant they’d tie with Man City but be down -11 in goal differential.
