About this listen

Episode 18 – 2009–10: The FallIn this episode of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we break down one of the most painful and chaotic seasons in Liverpool’s modern history — the 2009–10 campaign. A year that began with dreams of a title challenge quickly spiralled into frustration, injuries, boardroom battles, and the end of the Rafa Benítez era.We explore how the departure of Xabi Alonso destabilised the entire squad, why Liverpool never recovered from early defeats, and how key players like Torres and Gerrard struggled under the weight of expectation and persistent injuries. From the surreal beachball goal at Sunderland to the FA Cup humiliation against Reading, this season produced moments fans still remember — even if they’d rather forget them.Off the pitch, we dive into the full collapse of the Hicks & Gillett regime, the financial pressure mounting behind the scenes, and how the club’s internal turmoil seeped into performances.There were bright spots — Torres’ brilliance when fit, Kuyt’s reliability, Reina’s consistency — and a spirited Europa League run to the semi-finals. But ultimately, Liverpool slumped to 7th place, exited the Champions League in the group stage, and watched the season end with Rafa leaving the club.Episode 18 is the story of a team falling apart — but also the moment before Liverpool’s long climb back to the top began.
🎧 A season of frustration, heartbreak, and the final chapter of the Rafa era — relived in full detail.
