The2013–14 season wasLiverpool Football Club's122nd season in existence and their 52nd consecutive season in the top flight ofEnglish football. This was also the club's 22nd consecutive season in thePremier League. Along with thePremier League, Liverpool also competed in theFA Cup andFootball League Cup.
Liverpool enjoyed a memorable season, scoring 101 league goals; the highest number of goals scored by a Premier League runner-up, until 2020, whenManchester City scored 102 goals while finishing second. It is also the fifth highest number of goals ever scored in the Premier League.[3]
Luis Suárez finished as theleague's top scorer with 31 goals, winning thePremier League Golden Boot as well as thePFA Players' Player of the Year, whileDaniel Sturridge was the league's second highest scorer with 21.Steven Gerrard topped the official Premier League assists chart with 13.[4]
Liverpool had a pre-season dominated by speculation about whether Luis Suárez would leave the club. Suárez had served four matches of a ten-match ban for bitingBranislav Ivanović in the previous season,[5] andArsenal reportedly agreed terms and offered£40,000,001 for the player based on a rumoured £40 million release clause in Suárez's contract.[6] Suárez stated he would like to leave the club[7] and was then told to train away from the first-team squad.[8] On 8 August, Liverpool ownerJohn W. Henry stated that Suárez would not be allowed to leave the club.[9]
ASimon Mignolet penalty save on the opening day gave Liverpool the first of three 1–0 victories to begin the season. A subsequent draw and loss saw Liverpool drop to fifth place on the table when Suárez completed his ban. From the next match until the end of the season, Liverpool would average 2.9 goals per game. They were top of the table at Christmas before back-to-back 2–1 losses away atManchester City andChelsea. In that keyManchester City fixture,Raheem Sterling was onside by well over a metre but had his goal disallowed for offside in an "awful decision"[10] that bothBT Sport commentators called as onside immediately, saying "you could see it with your naked eye".[10]
A 5–1 home win over then league-leadersArsenal on 5 February featured four Liverpool goals in the opening 20 minutes. With a mid-week 90th minute penalty at Fulham, Liverpool won again and the winning run would eventually extend to 11 games, included Liverpool defeating title rival, Manchester City, on 13 April, in the same week as the 25th anniversary of theHillsborough disaster. A subsequent mid-week Manchester City draw meant Liverpool would win the league if they got ten points from their remaining 4 games.
Their next match was a 2–3 away win atNorwich City that secured Liverpool's pre-season aim of qualifying for the2014–15 UEFA Champions League. However, the following 0–2 home defeat to Chelsea put the title back in Manchester City's favour due to their significantly better goal difference.[11][12] That pivotal match was marred by Chelsea's "comically brazen" time-wasting,[13] that went unpunished until the 93rd minute byMartin Atkinson (despiteJosé Mourinho telling his players he wanted "at least two bookings for time-wasting before half-time"),[14] and it is foremost known for a Steven Gerrard slip that led to Chelsea's key goal byDemba Ba. Gerrard has spoken of his anguish over the slip, saying it was "even tougher than what people probably think it was".[15] Other key moments cited as playing a part in Liverpool falling short of the title include the previously mentioned incorrectly disallowed goal byRaheem Sterling at Manchester City'sEtihad Stadium,[16]Kolo Touré passing the ball toVictor Anichebe allowingWest Bromwich Albion to earn a draw on 2 February[17] andJordan Henderson's 93rd minute sending-off (and associated three-match ban) in the home game versus Manchester City, which Liverpool managerBrendan Rodgers thought was "a huge miss for us" because Liverpool "couldn't replace Jordan".[18][19][20]
Liverpool's attempts to reverse Manchester City's +9 goal difference advantage in their penultimate game againstCrystal Palace saw their initial 0–3 lead pegged back to a 3–3 draw.[21] Liverpool finished in second place, two points behind Manchester City, after they defeatedNewcastle United on the final day. This represented the closest the club had come to winning the league title since1990.
The season was the first since1995–96 withoutJamie Carragher, who retired after the2012–13 season.
