    Jan 13 2026
    Episode 21 – 2012–13: Reset, Rebuild, RepeatIn Episode 21 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we explore the season that marked the true beginning of Liverpool’s modern revival — Brendan Rodgers’ first year in charge.After the chaos and contradictions of 2011–12, Liverpool hit the reset button. Out went the old guard and short-term fixes, and in came a new philosophy built on possession, pressing, youth, and identity. The football changed almost overnight — but the results didn’t always follow.For much of the campaign, Liverpool dominated the ball but struggled to score, relying heavily on the brilliance of Luis Suárez to carry the attack. It wasn’t until January, with the arrivals of Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho, that the season truly ignited. Suddenly, Liverpool had speed, movement, and creativity — and the promise of something special.Memorable moments included the thunderous 4–0 Merseyside derby win over Everton, the emergence of young talents like Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling, and the emotional farewell of Jamie Carragher, whose final season symbolised the end of one era and the birth of another.Liverpool finished 7th, without trophies or European qualification — but this was never a season about silverware. It was about foundations. Rodgers had built the blueprint, and the squad was beginning to believe.Episode 21 tells the story of how Liverpool learned how to play again — and how the road to something extraordinary quietly began.

    Episode 20 – 2011–12: Cups, Chaos & Cruelty
    Jan 6 2026
    In Episode 20 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we revisit one of the most confusing and emotionally draining seasons in Liverpool’s Premier League history — a year that delivered silverware, Wembley drama, and deep frustration in equal measure.Under the returning Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool spent big and played expansive football, dominating matches but repeatedly failing to convert chances. Despite creating opportunity after opportunity, the Reds struggled badly in front of goal, leading to an alarming number of draws and a disappointing 8th-place league finish.Cup competitions, however, told a very different story. Liverpool enjoyed a thrilling run to three Wembley appearances, lifting the League Cup after a dramatic penalty shootout win over Cardiff City and reaching the FA Cup Final, where late hope against Chelsea ultimately ended in heartbreak.The season was also shaped by controversy, particularly surrounding Luis Suárez, whose brilliance on the pitch was matched by turbulence off it. Players like Craig Bellamy and Steven Gerrard played key roles, while new signings showed flashes without ever truly clicking.Episode 20 explores how Liverpool could be both cup winners and league underachievers at the same time — and how, just days after the FA Cup Final defeat, Dalglish’s second spell as manager came to an abrupt end.A season of triumph and turmoil.A trophy that mattered — and a league campaign that didn’t.A turning point between nostalgia and the modern Liverpool era.🎧 Relive the highs, the heartbreak, and the hard decisions

    Episode 19 – 2010–11: Rock Bottom… Then Rebirth
    Episode 19 of You’ll Never Pod Alone tells the story of one of the most turbulent seasons in Liverpool’s history — a campaign that took the club to the brink before finally offering a glimpse of hope.
    The 2010–11 season began in chaos. Roy Hodgson’s appointment failed to inspire, performances collapsed, and Liverpool found themselves shockingly close to the relegation zone. Defeats at Anfield to Blackpool and Wolves summed up a club that looked lost both on and off the pitch.
    Behind the scenes, the situation was even worse. The financial crisis under Hicks and Gillett pushed Liverpool to the edge of administration, threatening the club’s very future.
    Then everything changed.
    New owners Fenway Sports Group arrived, Roy Hodgson was dismissed, and Kenny Dalglish returned to Anfield. The mood lifted instantly, belief returned, and results began to improve.
    January brought another turning point. Fernando Torres departed, but in came Luis Suárez and Andy Carroll, signalling the start of a new era. Suárez, in particular, electrified Liverpool, injecting creativity, menace, and excitement back into the team.
    From relegation fears to a 6th-place finish, Episode 19 charts Liverpool’s fall and revival — a season remembered not for trophies, but for survival, renewal, and the moment the club found its soul again.
    Because even at their lowest ebb…
    You’ll Never Pod Alone.

    Episode 17 – 2008–09: So Close

    In Episode 17 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we revisit one of the most dramatic, emotional, and exhilarating seasons in modern Liverpool history — 2008–09, the year Rafa Benítez’s Reds came closer to winning the Premier League than ever before.

    This was the season of Torres & Gerrard at their unstoppable peak, dismantling defences with pace, precision, and pure electricity. Xabi Alonso delivered his greatest campaign in a Liverpool shirt, Mascherano dominated midfields, and Pepe Reina remained one of Europe’s finest goalkeepers.

    We break down the title race month by month — the statement wins, the frustrating draws, and the unforgettable nights. From the 1–0 victory at Stamford Bridge ending Chelsea’s 86-game home league run, to the emotional 4–1 demolition of Manchester United at Old Trafford, Liverpool announced themselves as genuine contenders.

    And in Europe?
    Liverpool destroyed Real Madrid home and away, including a famous 4–0 win at Anfield.
    They pushed Chelsea to the edge in a 12-goal quarter-final thriller.
    This was a team that no one wanted to face.

    But despite just two league defeats, too many draws ultimately cost Liverpool the title. The Reds finished with 86 points, playing some of the finest football of the Premier League era — but Manchester United edged them out.

From the record-breaking 8–0 win over Besiktas, to knocking out Inter Milan at the San Siro, to another unforgettable European night against Arsenal, the campaign was full of drama, goals, and big moments.

    Episode 15 – 2006–07: Athens Awaits

    In Episode 15 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we relive Liverpool’s dramatic 2006–07 campaign — a season of evolution, resilience, and another unforgettable European journey under Rafael Benítez.

    After the highs of the Gerrard Final the previous year, Liverpool strengthened with key additions like Dirk Kuyt, Craig Bellamy, Fabio Aurelio, Jermaine Pennant, Álvaro Arbeloa, and the emergence of Daniel Agger. While Premier League inconsistency kept the Reds from mounting a true title push, the team once again came alive under the lights in Europe.

    From Crouch’s overhead kick, to the wild Camp Nou victory over Barcelona, to another electrifying night against Chelsea in the semi-final, Liverpool proved that 2005 was no fluke — they were genuine European giants again.

    The season culminated in a return trip to the Champions League Final in Athens, where Liverpool met AC Milan for a rematch of rematches. This time, the Reds fell 2–1, but the journey itself cemented the Benítez era as one defined by tactical intelligence, spirit, and European pedigree.

    It was about proving that Liverpool were back — and here to stay.

    Because through every European night and every dream of glory…

    Episode 14 – 2005–06: The Gerrard Final

    In Episode 14 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we move from the miracle of Istanbul into a season of evolution, reinvention, and another unforgettable moment in Liverpool history.

    The 2005–06 campaign marks Rafa Benítez’s second season, and this time Liverpool build — not dream. New arrivals such as Pepe Reina, Momo Sissoko, Bolo Zenden, and Peter Crouch reshape the squad, with Steven Gerrard rejecting Chelsea in the summer to continue leading the club he loves.

    Liverpool improve dramatically in the Premier League, recording their highest points total of the modern era up to that point and smashing club defensive records, including 11 consecutive clean sheets. Reina becomes a wall, Carragher turns into a cult hero, and Gerrard reaches his peak powers.

    But the campaign is defined by one date:

    13 May 2006 — Cardiff.
    The FA Cup Final.
    Liverpool vs West Ham.

    West Ham lead 3–2. Gerrard is cramping, exhausted, barely able to move.
    Then, in stoppage time, from 35 yards…

    THUNDERSTRIKE.

    3–3. One of the greatest goals in FA Cup history.
    Penalties. Reina saves three.
    Liverpool lift the trophy.

    The match is instantly nicknamed:

    > “The Gerrard Final.”



    In this episode:
    🔥 A month-by-month breakdown of the season
    🧠 How Rafa’s tactical evolution transformed Liverpool
    🧤 Reina’s arrival and the new defensive backbone
    ⭐ Player focus: Gerrard, Carragher, Alonso, and Crouch
    🎬 Cultural rewind to 2005–06 (Batman Begins, Pon de Replay, Lost, Nokia bricks*)
    🏆 Full retelling of the FA Cup Final — emotion, commentary, goosebumps

    Liverpool didn’t rely on miracles this year.

    They relied on a legend.

    Because whether it’s Istanbul or Cardiff…
