Oct 4th
Man City 0 Liverpool 3
October 4 begins where Oct 3 left off but whilst this Liverpool team was just as good, city were not fit to lace the current teams boots, although I doubt that team had 130 or whatever charges against them.
Roger Palmer goes close for them but is denied superbly by Ray Clemence.
Kenny Dalglish scores one of his more famous goals as he turns Man City defender Tommy Caton inside and out before finishing beyond Joe Corrigan with his left foot.
Graeme Souness heads the second although Joe Corrigan makes a porridge of it. Corrigan went on to coach our goalkeepers for many years and whilst here, he also coached alongside little Sammy Lee who scores the goal of the match with a wonderful shot into the top corner.
The days ends with Liverpool second from top, City second from bottom.

Wimbledon had several promotions in recent years, rising from non league obscurity to first division football, their no nonsense style meant they adapted well and they even briefly lead the first division that season.
However, strikes from Jan Molby and a brace from Ian Rush (one following a hilarious collision between goalkeeper and defender) wrap up the points moving us to 3rd.
Later in the season Wimbledon defeat us at Anfield

Liverpool rap up an 8-2 aggregate league cup win, both games were actually played at Anfield as Wigan's ground didnt meet safety standards.
Remarkably, half time substitute Steve Staunton is put up front in place of the injured Ian Rush, despite being a defender by trade, Staunton scores a hat-trick.
Goals from both legs here

Sunderland 0 Liverpool 1
Having won the first leg 2-0, Liverpool seal the tie when Robbie Fowler scores a lovely lob in the first half.
In the second half, Stan Collymore has a goal disallowed.
The big talking point comes in the first half, a huge melee following some pretty rough challenges ends with Rob Jones snapping and both he and Sunderland's Martin Smith are sent off.

Pierluigi Casiraghi scores his only goal in English football, having made a big money move from Italy, Casiraghi was often the victim of bad luck infront of goal, either being denied by great keeping or the woodwork. Sadly not long after this he suffers a career ending knee injury and never plays again.
Maybe just as painful, Phil Babb in attempting to block the goal infamously slides open legged right into the post, the whole pub, feck it the whole world winces. Babb not only gave himself the worst low blow in history but actually hit the post so hard he damaged his back.
Late on Liverpool equalise when Jamie Redknapp scores a free kick.

Arsenal won the league that season without losing a match, however they could easily have been three down at half time, as it was the half ended 1-1. Harry Kewell scored the opener but on half time an unfortunate own goal from Sami Hyypia levelled it up and in the second half, Robert Pires scored a superb winner for them, although the feeling was Liverpool were very unlucky not to at least get a point.
Hyypia will lose the captaincy that week, while Michael Owen suffers a nasty injury whilst charging down a clearance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8VaduG5Sjk the Owen injury is 1:36:40. He tries to play on for about 10 minutes but has to go off.

Former red Nicolas Anelka gets the opener for them, before one time target Florent Malouda seals the win late on, much like Fiorentina mid week we are very poor and even then I was getting worried that the team under Rafa were beginning to get found out. Cant find clips
2012 Liverpool 2 Udinese 3
Was a really great wedding that day so probably just as well I missed this.
That Europa league group was weird, we would beat Udinese and Young boys of Berne away but failed to beat them at home. We went 1-0 up thanks to a fine header from Jonjo Shelvey before Udinese fought back to lead 3-1 although Luis Suarez did pull a goal back late on.

A largely forgettable game, couldnt remember much about it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twzp7W9BRBUThough what a wonderful goal that is from Adam Lallana, make sure to watch that
2015 Everton 1 Liverpool 1
Danny ings headed Liverpool in front early on but Romelu Lukaku levelled on half time for them, the game largely petered out then.
Later that evening it is announced that Brendan Rodgers is sacked, we end the day 10th. Rodgers had just started a 12 game unbeaten run, he was in charge for 6 of them but only won one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zX2rLZKnkUThere are two brilliant saves from Simon Mignolet here worth checking out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaWeRmIXkzM here is also the memorable reaction to the announcement from both Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher.
2020 Aston Villa 7 Liverpool 2
Was buzzing going into this as United lost 6-1 at home to spurs, off a free fiver bet i won 235 euro but that was punctured by us losing 7-2 to Villa, we had won our last away game 7-2 and now this.
Ollie Watkins gets a hat-trick with Jack Grealish also scoring twice for them, Mo Salah gets two for us.
Needless to say I am not researching highlights
2022
Liverpool 2 Rangers 0
Speaking of 7s, we might well have scored that or more here if it wasnt for some great goalkeeping by Rangers veteran 40 year old keeper Allan Mcgregor, and we would score 7 when the teams met at Ibrox.
Rangers would lose every group game
Trent alexander Arnold and Mo Salah get the goals for us
