After years of transition, Liverpool finally found their winning edge. This was the season the Reds lifted three trophies — the FA Cup, League Cup, and UEFA Cup — and secured a top-four finish to return to the Champions League.

In Episode 8 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we revisit the 1999–2000 season — Gérard Houllier’s first full campaign in sole charge, and the year he tore up the old Liverpool and began building something new.

Out went the likes of Paul Ince, David James, and Jason McAteer. In came the new spine: Sami Hyypiä, Stéphane Henchoz, Dietmar Hamann, Vladimír Šmicer, and goalkeeper Sander Westerveld. The changes brought defensive stability and a glimpse of the future, but inconsistency still haunted the Reds.

Roy Evans began the campaign in charge, but by November, the last of the Boot Room boys had stepped aside, leaving Gérard Houllier to take full control. It was the end of an era and the start of a cultural revolution.

On the pitch, Michael Owen shone as Liverpool’s new star, fresh from his World Cup heroics, scoring 23 goals despite the team’s struggles.

Because through every change and challenge… You’ll Never Pod Alone.

Episode 5 – 1996–97: So Near, Yet So Far

In Episode 5 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we look back at the 1996–97 season — a campaign where Roy Evans’ Liverpool thrilled fans with attacking football, pushed for honours on multiple fronts, but ultimately fell short when it mattered most.

With Robbie Fowler at his lethal best, firing in 31 goals, and Steve McManaman dazzling as the creative heartbeat, the Reds looked like genuine title contenders. They lit up the league with big wins and unforgettable classics, including another legendary 4–3 against Newcastle.

Roy Evans’ Reds had Robbie Fowler at his lethal best, Steve McManaman dazzling with creativity, and new record signing Stan Collymore adding firepower. The goals flowed, the Kop roared, and Liverpool looked like genuine contenders.

But defensive frailties and inconsistency cost them, and the season ended in heartbreak — finishing 3rd in the league and losing the FA Cup Final to Manchester United, remembered more for those infamous cream Armani suits than the football itself.

Graeme Souness began the campaign under pressure, bringing in Nigel Clough and Neil Ruddock, but the Reds stumbled through inconsistency and frustration. A humiliating FA Cup defeat to Bristol City at Anfield sealed his fate, and by January, Souness was gone.

Enter Roy Evans, the last of the Boot Room boys, who steadied the ship and restored hope. Most importantly, a teenage Robbie Fowler exploded onto the scene, announcing himself with goals, swagger, and a connection with the Kop that would define the decade.
