The2011–12 season was the 120th season inLiverpool Football Club's existence, and their 50th consecutive year in the top flight ofEnglish football, but they were not participating in anyUEFA competition for the first time since the1999–2000 season.
Liverpool had mixed fortunes during the season; they enjoyed success in the domestic cups, winning theLeague Cup for a record eighth time – also their first trophy since 2006 – and reached theFA Cup Final, where they lost toChelsea. By virtue of winning the League Cup, Liverpool qualified for the2012–13 UEFA Europa League. The club's league form, however, was indifferent and they finished eighth, their joint-lowest Premier League finish since finishing eighth in 1994, resulting inKenny Dalglish being relieved of his duties on 16 May 2012.[1]
Liverpool began their pre-season schedule with a fixture againstGuangdong Sunray Cave on 13 July as part of their tour of China, with Liverpool narrowly winning 4–3.Christian Poulsen scored his first Reds' goal,David Ngog andAndy Carroll grabbed one each and 18-year-old debutant Conor Coady also got a goal, with the new signingCharlie Adam featuring for 45 minutes.[2] On 16 July 2011, they continued their tour of Asia when they played the Malaysia All-Stars XI team. They won the game 6–3 despite a number of defensive errors. Charlie Adam scored his first goal from the penalty spot,Maxi Rodríguez and David Ngog both got braces andDirk Kuyt also scored to round off the victory. On 23 July, they travelled to theKC Stadium to playHull City where they lost 3–0. The game saw other summer recruitsJordan Henderson,Stewart Downing andDoni make their debuts. They later played againstGalatasaray inIstanbul on 28 July and lost 3–0 again. Next, they playedVålerenga away on 1 August and drew the game 3–3.Daniel Agger hit a brace and Andy Carroll scored the other. They played their final pre-season game on 6 August at Anfield againstValencia, winning 2–0. Andy Carroll and Dirk Kuyt were on the scoresheet, although the latter's shot appeared to take a deflection offSotiris Kyrgiakos before rolling into the net.[3][4]
Liverpool started theirPremier League campaign on 13 August, at home toSunderland. The match finished 1–1, the Liverpool goal coming in the 12th minute fromLuis Suárez from a Charlie Adam free kick. Suárez had missed an early penalty which he had won after being brought down byKieran Richardson, firing the ball over the bar from the spot.[5]Andy Carroll had a goal ruled out before Sunderland equalised in the 57th minute with a volley fromSebastian Larsson.[6]Jordan Henderson made his full Liverpool debut against his former club, with Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing andJosé Enrique also making their debuts, despite the latter signing just the day before.[7]
Liverpool played their second league match againstArsenal on 20 August at theEmirates Stadium. Liverpool won the match 2–0, taking advantage of Arsenal's worries on and off the pitch. The first half saw Henderson and Carroll go close for Liverpool with headers, withPepe Reina not even troubled by the hosts. In the second half, Arsenal midfielderEmmanuel Frimpong received a second yellow card after a dangerous tackle onLucas. The visitors' first goal came in the 78th minute after Arsenal's young centre-backIgnasi Miquel's attempted to clear the ball, only for it to strikeAaron Ramsey in the chest and looped overWojciech Szczęsny. Substitute Luis Suárez wrapped up the points in the 90th minute, whenRaul Meireles squared the ball to him to tuck it under the oncoming Szczęsny. The 2–0 win was Liverpool's first victory at Arsenal since 2000, when aTiti Camara goal won the game for Liverpool.
Liverpool then faced a League Cup tie atExeter City. Liverpool won 3–1, Suárez scoring in the 23rd minute and unselfishly setting up other two for Maxi Rodríguez in the 55th minute and substitute Andy Carroll in the 58th.
Liverpool facedBolton Wanderers atAnfield. Liverpool won by the same margin of 3–1 with Henderson and Adam scoring their first goals for the club,Martin Škrtel also scoring with a header from a corner by Adam. This win saw Liverpool as overnight leaders of the Premier League for the first time since 2009.
Liverpool suffered their first defeat of the season on 10 September 2011, againstStoke City at theBritannia Stadium.Jonathan Walters scored the only goal of the game by converting a 21st-minute penalty.
Liverpool then traveled toWhite Hart Lane to play againstTottenham Hotspur. Spurs, byLuka Modrić, took an early lead, and Liverpool had trouble getting into the game. After 28 minutes, Charlie Adam received his second yellow card, and was sent off. After half time Liverpool got more into the game, but after 68 minutes, Martin Škrtel received his second yellow card, and reduced Liverpool to nine players. After two minutes, Spurs had scored two more goals, and in injury time,Emmanuel Adebayor sealed the game 4–0 to Tottenham, Liverpool's worst defeat to Tottenham since 1963.
Liverpool then traveled toBrighton to faceBrighton and Hove Albion in the third round encounter of the League Cup. Craig Bellamy and Dirk Kuyt were on target for Liverpool.Ashley Barnes scored an injury time consolation for Brighton. The final score remained 2–1 in Liverpool's favor and they qualified for the fourth round.

Liverpool then hosted the newcomersNorwich City and drew 1–1. Craig Bellamy scored in the stoppage time of first half. SubstituteGrant Holt scored in the second half to make the score 1–1. Liverpool created a lot of opportunities throughout the game but were denied by the Norwich defense and goalkeeper and the match ended in a draw.
Liverpool then faced Stoke at Britannia Stadium in the fourth round of League Cup. Stoke took the lead in the first half thanks to a goal fromKenwyne Jones. Luis Suárez, however, scored two second half goals to give Liverpool the win and they made it to the quarter-final of the League Cup. This was Liverpool's first win after going a goal down since January.
Liverpool then facedWest Bromwich Albion atThe Hawthorns. Charlie Adam scored a ninth-minute penalty to give Liverpool the lead after Suárez was brought down. Andy Carroll scored at the end of first half to make the score 2–0 in Liverpool's favor.
After the 2–0 away win at West Brom, Liverpool then had a match at home toSwansea City, which finished a disappointing 0–0 draw. Liverpool once again had several chances but they still couldn't get the ball past Swansea keeperMichel Vorm, who made some world class saves.
After the international break, Liverpool had another league match away toChelsea atStamford Bridge the game finished 2–1 to Liverpool for their third consecutive win over the Londoners. Neat play from Craig Bellamy and Luis Suárez set up the first goal for Maxi Rodríguez to give the Reds a 1–0 lead before the interval. Ten minutes after half-timeDaniel Sturridge leveled for Chelsea for 1–1 until late on in the 87th minute full-backGlen Johnson had a great run at goal and netted the winner to m of chances against 10-men City but no chances were taken and the game finished 1–1 and balotelli destroyed Liverpool in 6969
Only two days after the Manchester City, Liverpool had a League Cup quarter-final tie against Chelsea. This time both, of the former Liverpool players, Raul Meireles andFernando Torres, started whereas last time they both came off the bench. There were no goals in the first half but in the 58th minute, Maxi Rodríguez broke the deadlock from close range from Craig Bellamy's pass for 1–0. Five minutes laterMartin Kelly headed in to make it 2–0 with his first goal for Liverpool. But this victory resulted in a serious injury by Lucas, who ruptured hisanterior cruciate ligament (ACL) after colliding withJuan Mata, and he was ruled out for the rest of the season.
Liverpool's first game in December was an away match toFulham atCraven Cottage which the Reds won 5–2 seven months ago. Liverpool pushed in the first half with Jordan Henderson hitting the post, but nothing came off and it was 0–0 at the interval. In the second half Liverpool went down to 10-men due to a controversial sending off forJay Spearing for a challenge onMoussa Dembélé. Fulham made them pay asClint Dempsey scored from close range off of a rebound in the 85th minute to win it for Fulham.
The Reds next had another league game againstQueens Park Rangers at Anfield, which Liverpool won courtesy of a Luis Suárez header in the early stages of the second half. This win ended a run of four poor draws at home since they won 3–1 against Bolton.
Their next league game was againstAston Villa atVilla Park. The Reds won 2–0 with goals from Craig Bellamy and Martin Škrtel.
Liverpool's next fixture was an away tie against 18th-placedWigan Athletic at theDW Stadium. The game ended as a goalless draw.
The next match was againstBlackburn Rovers at home. Blackburn took an early courtesy of a Charlie Adam own goal during the end of the first half from a corner. Liverpool equalised with a Maxi Rodríguez header early in the second half. Liverpool put tremendous pressure on Blackburn's defence in the dying moments of the game, but were unlucky not to get three points thanks to some resolute defending by the away side. The game ended 1–1.
Just a few days later Liverpool played their last league game of 2011; a home tie againstNewcastle United. Needing a win to keep up with their pursuit of a Champions League spot, Liverpool started the game off by going a goal down against the run of play; an unfortunate Daniel Agger deflection putting Newcastle in the lead in the 25th minute. The Reds responded almost instantly when Craig Bellamy pounced on a loose ball in the box three minutes later to equalise. In the second half, the Reds dominated play. Bellamy scored his second from a fantastic free kick, and returning captain Steven Gerrard completed the scoring with a fine finish in the 78th minute.
Liverpool's first game of 2012 involved a daunting trip to league leaders Manchester City FC. This was also the first of three games against the league leaders scheduled for January. The hosts had not lost a single game at their home ground in the Premier League all season. Liverpool started brightly but were unfortunate to go a goal down thanks to aSergio Agüero strike early in the first half. The Reds eventually lost the game 3–0 after some fine Manchester City finishing. Their second game of the year was anFA Cup third Round tie againstOldham Athletic at Anfield. Liverpool eased past the opposition by winning 5–1. Stewart Downing andJonjo Shelvey were amongst the goalscorers for the Reds, netting their first ever competitive goals for the club. On 11 January 2012 saw Liverpool face Manchester City for the second time in an away League Cup semi-final; the first of two legs to be played this month. After a convincing defeat the previous week at the same ground, Liverpool produced a fantastic defensive display after captain Gerrard had put them in front in the 13th minute from the penalty spot. They ran out 1–0 victors and condemning Manchester City to their second defeat in their last two games, as well as their first home game without scoring a goal.
On 14 January 2012, Liverpool drew 0–0 at home to Stoke City, followed one week later by a 3–1 away loss to Bolton, which managerKenny Dalglish branded Liverpool's worst performance since his return. With this in mind, it created added pressure for the return leg of the League Cup semi-final against Manchester City. Liverpool had a number of chances to score, but excellent goalkeeping byJoe Hart kept them out and they fell behind twice. Their efforts eventually came to fruition, however, with the game ending as a 2–2 draw, with Liverpool winning 3–2 on aggregate and reachingWembley for the first time since 1996 and the new Wembley for the first time. On 28 January 2012, Liverpool faced Manchester United in the FA Cup Fourth round at home. Liverpool started the scoring with Daniel Agger early on in the first half.Park Ji-sung netted one to create the equalizer. Substitute Dirk Kuyt netted a final one, defeating Manchester United. Next, the Reds faced Wolverhampton Wanderers away. Andy Carroll, Craig Bellamy and Dirk Kuyt were on target, ending the match 3–0.
The beginning of February saw the return to action of Luis Suárez following his eight-match ban. Due to their involvement in both domestic cups, Liverpool played only two league games in the month of February, a 0–0 draw against Tottenham, and a 2–1 loss away at Manchester United, where Suárez scored late on to provide a consolation goal. Liverpool went on to faceBrighton & Hove Albion at Anfield in the fifth round of the FA Cup, a game they won 6–1 thanks to goals from Luis Suárez, Andy Carroll, Steven Gerrard, Martin Škrtel, and two Brighton own-goals. This saw them through to the sixth round, where they were drawn againstStoke City. Liverpool's last game of the month was the2012 Football League Cup Final againstCardiff City at Wembley, held on 26 February 2012. The game finished 1–1 after 90 minutes, and 2–2 after extra time, with Liverpool prevailing 3–2 in the subsequent penalty shoot-out. This won Liverpool theFootball League Cup for a record eighth time in their history, as well as ending a run of six years without a trophy.
Following victory in the League Cup, many predicted that Liverpool would be able to produce momentum that would take them towardsChampions League qualification. Their league campaign began to falter however, with a first home defeat of the season to Arsenal after a last minuteRobin van Persie goal gave them a 2–1 victory, followed by a scrappy 1–0 loss away at Sunderland. Three days later, Liverpool faced Everton in the secondMerseyside derby of the season, this time at Anfield. The game also marked the 400th league appearance of Steven Gerrard for Liverpool, and he scored a hat-trick to give Liverpool a 3–0 victory. Liverpool would go on to secure a place in the FA Cup semi-final by defeating Stoke City 2–1 at Anfield, with strikes from Luis Suárez and Stewart Downing. Despite these successes, Liverpool were unable to revive their faltering league campaign, seeing a 2–0 lead turn into a 3–2 defeat atLoftus Road to QPR and losing 2–1 at Anfield to Wigan, both of whom were teams fighting relegation. This gave Liverpool a league record of five defeats in six games.
Liverpool began April with a 2–0 loss away at Newcastle, marked their sixth defeat in seven league games, officially their worst run of league results in 59 years.[citation needed] This saw pressure begin to mount on manager Kenny Dalglish, as Champions League qualification had become all but impossible for Liverpool for a third successive season. The defeat also saw Liverpool's first-choice keeperPepe Reina – also the only player to start every game under Dalglish and played every minute of all competitive matches this season – receive a three-match ban after being sent off. This gave Doni his first competitive appearance for Liverpool, in a game the following week at Anfield against Aston Villa, which ended in a 1–1 draw. The following week Liverpool faced Blackburn away, in a remarkable game which saw Liverpool go 2–0 up through two goals from Maxi Rodríguez, only for Doni to be sent off for a foul in the penalty box, requiring Liverpool's third-choice keeperBrad Jones to replace him, and also become Liverpool's only goalkeeper for the FA Cup semi-final. Jones' first contribution for Liverpool was to save the penalty given by the foul. Blackburn then hit back twice throughYakubu, before Andy Carroll headed a winner in added time, securing Liverpool's first win in the league for almost a month.
Four days later, Liverpool faced Everton at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final. Liverpool went into the semi-final trailing Everton in the league by one point, with many tipping Everton to beat Liverpool in a major semi-final for the first time in over a century.Nikica Jelavić gave Everton a 1–0 lead in the first half, with Luis Suárez equalising in the second half. The game looked to be heading towards extra time before Andy Carroll scored a second headed winner in as many games in the 87th minute, sending Liverpool through to their firstFA Cup Final since2006 – where they defeatedWest Ham United – and also their second cup final of the season. They will face Chelsea in the Final at Wembley on 5 May 2012. If they win this year'sFA Cup Final, they will enter the group stage of2012–13 UEFA Europa League directly without the need to enter the2012–13 UEFA Europa League Qualifying Rounds. However, the last-gasp win over their local rivals was not enough to see renewed momentum in the league campaign however, as despite firing 30 shots on goal, Liverpool lost 1–0 at home to West Brom on 22 April. They ended the month with a win however, after Luis Suárez scored his first Liverpool hat-trick to seal a 3–0 win away atNorwich on 29 April.
Liverpool began May with a 1–0 defeat at home to Fulham, giving the Reds their fourth defeat in five games at Anfield. On 5 May 2012, they were defeated by Chelsea 2–1 in the2012 FA Cup Final. Three days later the two teams faced each other for a Premier League meeting. Liverpool went out strong in the first half recording three goals in the first 30 minutes of the match. The first goal was a sensational run down the line fromLuis Suárez and he crossed it in where then Michael Essien would score an own goal. Soon after, a ball played back from Ivanović toJohn Terry faulted as Terry fell and Jordan Henderson ran onto it and scored it with his dominate foot with a great finish. Four minutes later a far post corner from central midfielderJonjo Shelvey was headed by Andy Carroll to Daniel Agger and resulted in a 3–0 lead over Chelsea after the first half. Within the second half Chelsea scored off of aFlorent Malouda set piece outside the 18-yard box and chested in from Brazilian international Ramires. Later in the second half,Ross Turnbull kicked it to clear it and bluffed it and Jonjo Shelvey trapped it and made a sensational finish to secure a final 4–1 win for Liverpool. In the final game of the season, Liverpool faced an away trip to Swansea and suffered a 1–0 defeat.
