2014 Liverpool Home – Raheem Sterling #31 Large

The 2013/14 season was one of the most thrilling and emotional campaigns in Liverpool’s modern history.

• Premier League: Under Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool mounted an incredible title challenge. The team played attacking football, scoring 101 goals, second only to Manchester City’s 102.

  • Liverpool led the league late in the season but ultimately finished 2nd with 84 points, just 2 points behind Manchester City.

  • The campaign is remembered for dramatic moments such as Steven Gerrard’s slip vs. Chelsea and the chaotic 3–3 draw against Crystal Palace.

• Cups: Liverpool exited early in both domestic cups (FA Cup 5th Round vs. Arsenal, League Cup 4th Round vs. Manchester United).

• Europe: The club did not participate in European competition that season, which allowed them to focus on the league.

• Key Storyline: This was the peak of the “SAS” partnership (Luis Suárez and Daniel Sturridge), supported by young stars like Raheem Sterling and Philippe Coutinho. The campaign revived Liverpool’s global profile and re-established them as a major force.

• Kit: The 2013/14 home jersey by Warrior featured the classic all-red design with white trim and the return of the Liverbird crest with flames, symbolizing the Hillsborough tribute. It is now iconic, associated with one of Liverpool’s most exhilarating seasons.

2. Player’s Impact – Raheem Sterling (2013/14)

Raheem Sterling, at just 19 years old, had his breakthrough season and became a crucial part of Liverpool’s attack.

• Appearances: 33 in the Premier League, 38 in all competitions.

• Goals/Assists: 9 goals and 7 assists in the league — outstanding numbers for a teenager.

• Key Performances:

  • Scored twice in the 5–1 demolition of Arsenal at Anfield.

  • Netted crucial goals in wins against Norwich and Manchester City during the title race.

  • Formed a devastating front three with Suárez and Sturridge, providing pace, dribbling, and creativity.

• Role: Played predominantly as a winger but also adapted as a central attacker in Rodgers’ diamond system. His speed and directness stretched defenses and made him one of the most dangerous young players in Europe.

• Legacy of the Season: Sterling’s performances in 2013/14 established him as one of England’s brightest prospects. This campaign was the launching pad for a career that would later include Premier League titles and international recognition.
