What happened since Liverpool won the title

Liverpool celebrate their last last league title win on April 28 1990

On April 28, 1990, Liverpool beat Queens Park Rangers 2-1 at Anfield to claim their 18th top-flight championship. This was the starting XI Reds manager Kenny Dalglish selected that day:

Six different clubs have tasted championship glory since Liverpool last managed to get their hands on the title, with George Graham’s Arsenal the first in 1991.

Six teams have won a total of 24 titles since Liverpool's last, with Manchester United lifting the trophy 13 times

Liverpool have made an incredible 190 purchases at a cost of £770m in an attempt to get their hands back on the league title, with many of those failing to make the grade at Anfield, part of the reason for the club’s continued league drought.

The very first signing the Reds made after winning their last championship was Israel striker Ronny Rosenthal, who arrived from Standard Liege for £1m in June 1990, the first-ever foreign player to cost that sum in England.


Striker Andy Carroll cost Liverpool a club-record £35m to buy from Newcastle United in January 2011

Graeme Souness’ ill-fated three-year spell in charge was littered with poor signings, including the likes of Paul Stewart (£2.3m), Neil Ruddock (£2.5m) and Julian Dicks (swap).

Gerard Houllier may have landed Sami Hyypia for a cut-price £2.5m, but the Frenchman also sanctioned the purchases of El Hadji-Diouf (£10m), Harry Kewell (£5m) and Djibril Cisse (£14.5m).

Houllier’s successor at Anfield, Rafael Benitez, oversaw the arrivals of Robbie Keane (£19m) and Alberto Aquilani (£17.1m), while Dalglish - in his second spell in charge - splashed out a club-record £35m on Andy Carroll and £18.5m on Stewart Downing.

Even current manager Brendan Rodgers lavished £10.4m on misfiring forward Fabio Borini, although there have been some hits as well, with Benitez luring players of the calibre of Xabi Alonso (£10.7m), Fernando Torres (£20.2m) and Javier Mascherano (£18.6m) to Merseyside.

And perhaps the greatest purchase of the last 25 years was Dalglish’s capture of Luis Suarez from Ajax for just £22.8m in January 2011.
Current Reds boss Brendan Rodgers came the closest to ending Liverpool's 25-year wait for the title last season.

Seven permanent managers have tried, and failed, to end Liverpool’s long wait for the title since Dalglish won the last of his three top-flight crowns for the club in April 1990, but only three of them have come close to landing the ultimate prize.

Houllier’s side finished runners-up to Arsenal in 2002, although a distant seven points behind that season’s champions, while seven years later Benitez’s team came even closer to title glory.

However, the Reds ultimately lost out to arch-rivals United by just four points that campaign, before last year Rodgers came within a whisker of winning the Merseysiders’ 19th championship, before faltering at the very last to hand City the league.

Roy Evans did lead Liverpool to a joint second-place finish in 1996/97, albeit seven points behind eventual champions United, however, the other three – Souness, Roy Hodgson and Dalglish – all disappointed in the Anfield dugout.

In the 300 months since the Reds last won the title:

  • Ryan Giggs made his United debut, played over 1000 games and won 34 trophies

  • Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have scored 934 goals between them

  • United goalkeeper David De Gea has been born and won the league himself

Yes, last year was their best chance... I hope Klopp would come and save them
Gerrard with his crying after the Man City or Arsenal game was ridiculous as if the have already won the league, I still cant forget that stupid act.

Even Blackburn won since then.

And Arsenal won 4 times.

Liverpool's managerial selection throughout the history was terrible . Small exception will be Benitez and perhaps Rodgers but Brendan showed how dumb he is when it comes to building his team by buying overrated and overpriced players who did not improve team at all . In fact they became worse .

If Klope comes may be better times will come but that won't be in a year or two . Look at the competition now . Arsenal is firing all cylynders and looking to get back to old good days of winning titles . United is not giving up on top four . Manchester City will be strong once again the project won't be stagnated with one bad season . Chelsea is in full force and will one of the top 4 best clubs in england . So, it will be very difficult to break in there .

Like everyone said Last season was amazing chance to do it and they let it slip .

Here is a joke

How many Liverpool fans does it take to change a lightbulb?

Answer: None, they just sit and talk about how good the old one was.
