Reds Goal Of The Season

As FSG search for a new manager and the press conjure up all sorts of names and supporters call in to radio phone ins to complain about candidates who haven’t even been interviewed yet I thought I’d look at something a bit more fun. What’s been our best goal this season? Should be easy as there aren’t exactly hundreds to choose from……

1: Glen Johnson away vs Chelsea. With Fernando Torres and Raul Meireles in the Chelsea ranks the fear was always that this game was going to be settled by an ex player and so it proved. A 2-1 win for Liverpool thanks to a 90^th minute Glen Johnson strike, picking the ball up wide on the right he dribbled into the penalty area and finished precisely into the bottom corner past Cech with his left foot.

2: Sebastain Coates away vs QPR. An powerful acrobatic effort from twelve yards out after QPR failed to clear a corner. It was the sort of strike you have to watch a few times just to work out what has actually happened and was worthy of winning any football match. Except it didn’t as we folded and turned a 2-0 lead into a 3-2 defeat in the final twelve minutes.

3: Andy Carroll vs Everton, FA Cup semi final. While not technically the greatest goal ever seen it was timely and important and one of the few high spots in an otherwise disappointing season. A couple of minutes left in the semi final of the world’s oldest cup competition at Wembley against the neighbours and Craig Bellamy’s free kick from the left is headed into the back of Tim Howard’s net by our much criticised number nine. Liverpool reach the final and David Moyes ends his tenth season in charge at Goodison the same way he’s ended the previous nine.

4: Luis Suarez away vs Norwich (3^rd goal). One of the best hat tricks the league has ever seen was completed with a fantastic strike from 45 yards over the head of John Ruddy and into the back of the Norwich net. It takes confidence, ability and a little cheek to score a goal like that, something our Uruguayan has plenty of. ‘Luis Suarez, you know what you are’ sang the Norwich fans, and by the time the final whistle sounded they knew exactly what he is too.
