#4 ‘We Go Again’ battle cry
When Phillipe Coutinho unleashed that absolute gem of a curler fifteen minutes from time, the writing was on the wall. In spite of an unfortunate red to Jordan Henderson, Liverpool managed to hold on to a one-goal lead to defeat Manchester City 3-2 at Anfield. With Liverpool at the top of the table and only a handful of matches to go, it really did seem that the 2013-14 season was going to be Liverpool’s ultimate vindication!
Just after the victory, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard huddled up his players and the emotionally charged minute long pep talk quickly became the talk of the footballing world. It could be clearly seen how much winning the trophy meant to this homegrown hero.
Fate is cruel though and sadly it was not to be for Gerrard. Liverpool lost out to Manchester City by the slimmest of margins, finally proving to be nothing but a great advertisement for the English Premier League.
Gerrard’s dedication to Liverpool and his influence on the players could, however, be felt all over and it took all of one minute’s talk from the legend.
