Title Winning Goal

So 6 more wins for the title. Just as a hypothesis - Say we win our next 5 league games & are unfortunately knocked out of the FA Cup by Chelsea, after a valiant performance by the kids. That (I think) would leave us facing Crystal Palace on Saturday 21st March, needing a win to clinch the league (providing City win all of their remaining games up to that point)

So here's the scenario - the game is deadlocked at 0-0, it's been scrappy. Hodgson has turned up and stuck 10 men behind the ball, aware of the fact it's 10 years since his woeful tenure, wanting to do everything he can to stop poetic justice running its course & to deny Liverpool the chance of clinching their elusive 19th league title in front of his nose.

90 minutes on the clock and we're in to added time - A chance is carved out. The ball is squared across the box and somebody is there to tap it into an open net - Who would you want that player to be?

Hendo or Milner.

Bobby with a cowboy hip thrust to send it over the line.

VVD. For me, we started to look a prospect when he arrived, incredible CB.
Hendo does some great work on the wing, beats a couple of guys and whips in a cross for VVD [who has stayed up for a corner ] who powers home a header from around the penalty spot.

It could only be Origi !

Alisson









No it would have to be Roberson

Would have to be at City...in off the beech ball...failing that Hendo..

No look Bobby goal..

Origi!

Trent! Amazing if a scouser scores the winning goal

No look Bobby goal..

EXACTIMUNDO .

Just what I was going to post Shabs.


Perfect .

Alisson 😂

Trent! Amazing if a scouser scores the winning goal

My feelings entirely, local lad wins the league for LFC with the winning goal 

Andy Robertson to get his Alan Kennedy moment!

Firmino for me.

Adrian for the lols.

Milner or Hendo

Good thread. If it's at the Emptyhad, Sterling own goal in the 95 th minute. I sure the Kop could come up with a song for that scenario.

Anywhere else, Hendo for me.
In reality don't  mind who scores it, will just be fantastic to end 30 years of misery and near misses............LFC   Champions elect, got a real ring to it.............

I think Hendo deserves it.

A stevie like 30 yard thunderbolt would be fitting.

We get a penalty and Alisson takes it and scores,the crowd goes wild.

Definitely Robbo.

It could only be Origi !

Ha ha.  Got to be Divock - shinned in to the net.

Although I suspect the LFC marketing machine will be praying it's Minamino with his debut goal or something.

Love the idea of Trent ( scouser) wining it, but for all he does to create goals and score late decisive goals, has to be my fave, Bobby With one of his deft turns, leaving a couple of defenders on their arses, and BOOM !

My choices;

1. Hendo - Captain, obviously. Would love it to be him after all the stick he's taken in the past. He'll go down in history no matter what & he's scored some important goals for us but I'd love him to have a "Gerrard moment" what people can look back on

2. Robbo - No real need for an explanation. It's just Robbo

3. Trent - Be great for a scouser to do it

Salah TO secure a hat-trick of Golden Boots with the goal.

ONE SEASON WONDER!

Alisson









No it would have to be Roberson

Robbo for me, again proving the fact we only win things with a scotsman in the team or on the bench.

a sterling OG Fantastic !!

A real team goal.

Every player touches the ball.

We keep it for a good 10 mins, passing, moving probing and they can't get near us.

Then we spot an opening, and quick as a flash, we step up a gear, the ball zipping around, opponents in disarray, working it around the box, in quick 1-2's, until running from deep, Henderson bursts into the box, the 'keeper charges out, a little flick to Firmino, who scores no-look into an untended net.

Henderson's pass to Trent to the wing then Trent cut back inside beat a defender and on the edge on the box, he shots a wonderful goal.

An Englishman to a Scouser.

However, even a dog scores it I would be happy.

Only to be ruled out by VAR...😂

Won't be at City if we win out. It's only possible if we drop points.

City has 51 points after 25 games. 90 max points if they win out.
We have 73 points after 25 games. We need 6 more wins 18 points to reach 91 points.

That makes Palace at home.

Origi at the right place and the right time once again at the Kop end. No two ways about it. I won't mind if it's off a cheeky quickly taken corner.

I'm thinking Palace as well just now. Was trying to think of a scenario where Roy starts celebrating for us. Jürgen might enjoy Mama Sakho scoring an own goal to clinch the title for us as well. To celebrate, Jürgen and Pep can do the Mama-Benteke secret handshake they did when Mama was on loan there and Benteke scored two to beat us.

Klopp names himself on the bench comes on a scores a volley from 30 yards but still wearing his cap..

We should have won the title last year if it wasn't for a financially doped competitor we would have.  But over the last 2 years every player in the core of the team have had some sensational moments important contributions.   I just find it hard to choose one.  Whilst his contribution against Barcelona was very important but just feel that Gini has had the least exposure. But for me it would be nice to be a special team goal.   I don't think it will be tight game personally when or if the finishing lines starts flashing during a game, I think it is going to be a comfortable win.  Might be that all three of our forwards get a goal.

My fear is that it is decided with City dropping points somewhere and our team not on the park, maybe playing later that day, already having played earlier or playing the next day. It won't take anything away from our accomplishment or our joy over finally winning the league, but it would be nice for that moment to be there with fans and team present.

Yeh that would be a real shame if we were robbed of the moment!

Me too - I remember when Leicester won it the other year and the title was decided by a match between Tottenham & Chelsea. Seemed to take a bit of the occasion away

We won our last title, waiting at Anfield for the score from Villa v Norwich. It didn't dampen our celebrations. Nor did it in 83 when we won the league because Norwich beat the mancs.

So 6 more wins for the title. Just as a hypothesis - Say we win our next 5 league games & are unfortunately knocked out of the FA Cup by Chelsea, after a valiant performance. That (I think) would leave us facing Crystal Palace on Saturday 21st March, needing a win to clinch the league (providing City win all of their remaining games up to that point)

90 minutes on the clock and we're in to added time - A chance is carved out. The ball is squared across the box and somebody is there to tap it into an open net - Who would you want that player to be?

Anyone. We've had this discussion already.

Hopefully it will be against Palace, but assuming the game is off, it doesn't matter. Personally I don't think Hodgson has the wherewithal to keep us scoreless at Anfield for 90 minutes, as nobody else has.

Most of us would have been happy enough in August just to win the league. Not many of us were too bothered how or when. The same applies now.

As.i said, it won't take ANYTHING away from our joy at the accomplishment. The example you cite from last time people were at Anfield. Works.

Sakho own goal.

The Liverpool soldier returns!!

Klopp names himself on the bench comes on a scores a volley from 30 yards but still wearing his cap..

...and his snood 

I don't give a F**k who does it but I can't wait till that moment. I think time will stop when it happens and we will all go into delirium. I know I'm gonna cry already!!

like an AAggguuueerrrroooo moment

like an AAggguuueerrrroooo moment

Does he get back and defend on corners? I guess it could be an own goal from him. 

Hendo is a great shout, from being told he is basically sh*te, by Ferguson, to lifting the CL Trophy & ultimately the EPL Trophy would be a real ‘F**k You’ moment for him, however, he will have the honour of Lifting both as Liverpool Captain and be transferred into instant Legendary status, following in the footsteps of club Captains before him,

Ideally tho, on the day All of our front three score in a exhibition of football where everyone contributes  from Allison to Salah, in our best performance of the season, everything clicks, from 50/60 yard passes, one/ twos, slick passing, little flicks here and there, and virtually taking the f***in Piss, ultimately with Firmino doing one of his no look goals, his hat-trick goal having not scored all season at home,

A 5-0 thrashing at least, and where old Rubber face Hodgeson and his Crystal tip tossers are totally humiliated......and a week later @ the Emptihad....Pep and his pretenders have the privilege of giving us ‘The Champions’ a very very slow and longgggggg Guard’ of Homour.



YNWA

One of my strongest memories as a young man was the game against leeds in April 73 second to last game more or less a title decider and we won 2-0 Keegan and Cormack the entire ground erupted the Kop was heaving and we new it was our title. I hope we get to win it at Anfield our supporters deserve that special moment and to share it with the team

Hendo, simple.

We all know it's gonna be origi, end of.

Kompany makes a one game come back against us,and scores a screamer of an own goal to give us the title, Neville to demolish the statue he wanted put up for him

I actually now really hope Sadio scores it! We've seen all year how much he wants this!

He was like a Man possessed when he came on, I knew he'd score and what a ripping turn and finish that was! World F***ing Class!

5 wins required

Would be good to win it in Liverpool even if it's at Everton! Would mean a guard of honour at home!

We all know it's gonna be origi, end of.

He'll still be on the bench when Pickford fucks up with his tiny Raptor arms and throws the ball into his own net to hand us the title at Goodison and Kleenex reveal a surge in buying of bog roll!

F**k the guard of honour at home I want that at the Emptihad, really rub it in to those scruffy inbred manc tw*ts.

Haven't stopped thinking about the moment since this Thread was started to be honest. Didn't want to jinx anything but yesterday it hit me really, really hard. Standing outside having a smoke at home, looking up at the beautiful sky and this wave of emotion came over me. Couldn't stop Jürgen fist pumping and saying to myself, it's F***ing OURS!!!! Started jumping up and down and was just overcome with emotion that I went in the garage and had another F***ing Cone! An almost celebratory cone, thinking...where will I be when it actually happens, will I be at home where I watch every game or do I go to a packed pub in Melbourne? Picturing that moment when that final whistle goes, watching our Supporters flood the field and embrace the Players!! What a F***ing moment that's gonna be!!!!  Just don't accidently injure them please, they have another 8 League games, numerous CL games and FA Cup games to play in.

I've always hated pitch invasions anyway, but at this club we celebrate our achievements properly and allow the players to share the moment with us, not wanting to run for the dressing room. When the time comes, I want to see the fist pumps, the Germanic hands in the air team salute, the organised fireworks show held, if it's at home at night etc. The last thing I want to see is a repeat of the scenes in 1976 at Wolves and worrying about player/fan safety. I don't know if that game actually finished, given there was so many on the pitch after the last goal, I've never seen any footage of the game beyond that point anyway. I know invasions were generally a more regular occurrence in that era, but I would like to think we're a level above that nowadays.

We're all excited, very excited about what is the prize at the finish line, but we're not cavemen who can't stay off a pitch when we win something these days, that's more for the Shrewsburys of the game, to celebrate draws at home against reserve teams. It's not fair on the players and staff, and it's not how we do things here.

I reckon pitch invasions are a bit small time myself, don't think it will happen. I think aesthetically the better image would be all of the players celebrating in front of a capacity KOP, full of scarves and flags, as opposed to a half empty stands with hoards of people on the pitch, having to play Where's Wally to try and spot the players

Ronny Rosenthal's debut hattrick in our last title-winning season.

^ Something like that will do.

Don't care if it bobbles in off someones arse

How about Shaqiri ? 

Think it's already happened. Lfc to be named league winners on PPG I'm saying!

Would be a bit of a shame but we’ve earned the title. We’ll probably win it more with Klopp anyway.

With tongue firmly in cheek it surely has to be an OG so every other club can claim we didn't win it, it was given to us!

My fear is that it is decided with City dropping points somewhere and our team not on the park, maybe playing later that day, already having played earlier or playing the next day.

This way means we have a whole week to celebrate before our next game, rather than needing a result from 4 games in 9 days. There's nothing like it.

I guess the title winning goal was Willian, someone who maybe coming to us if the gossip writers are to believed.

Did anyone actually have Fernandinho hand ball?

Or Pulisic? City had to win to delay us, when Willian stepped up for that penalty, it didn’t change our situation. Just really killed off City.

Yes, in hindsight I'm glad it's done. I certainly didn't hold back in screaming at my telly for Chelsea to get a result.    - Am glad we were able to put in one of our best performance of the season the night before vs. Palace.

Some players may need a couple of days of fitness training to sweat the alcohol out, but I have no doubt whatsoever that the team will be highly motivated to put in a top performance and earn a victory vs. City next Thursday. Would be a bit more icing on a fantastic cake of a season.

I think we'll beat City with surprising ease, especially with them missing Fernandinio, their defence is really quite poor, Chelsea might be a trickier opponent although I'd fancy us to beat them at Anfield. Its Arsenal away I'm looking forward to, that could be a real goal fest!

Weird how Fernandinho gets sent off for an innocuous hand ball, after getting away with 5 or 6 red card incidents throughout the season.
Dirty b***ard that he is, He seems to be protected. it’s good to see he got his just deserves which cost his team the ultimate insult.
Handing us the title.

So ....

There were four !

Whatever. Don’t really care how it’s done as long as we achieve the outcome. Red card, penalty or own goal, I don’t really care.

Think Divock. Appalling there are still those who think he’s not good enough for us despite delivering positive outcomes. It’s doing me head in.

Not a player I’ve cursed more in the last two seasons than Fernandinho, brilliant from city’s point of view obviously but a pain in the backside for us! So very fitting that in the end he was caught out that lead to us winning the league, like when the villain in the movie gets found out in the end.

Handball on the line is automatic red as its denying a goal scoring chance.

Willian goal seals the title... Could happen again next time if we got him in a free 🤔

He's missing a CL medal. We could help. Join us on a free and perhaps with a pay cut if Michael Edwards is negotiating...

If he's on a free I'd actually take him for a year. Think he'd be a sound squad player!

Think this now becomes “First Goal as Champions” and id love it to be Hendo...
