From Alissons assist to Origi lobbing Pickford Every Liverpool players best moment of 2019/20 – This Is Anfield

Liverpool sealed immortality in 2019/20, finally winning the Premier League title. But what was each players standout contribution to the season?

Last August, the Reds went into the new campaign as Champions League holders, but the holy grail of a league title had evaded them once more.

What we have witnessed in the 11 months since has been truly remarkable, with 99 points amassed and a worldwide pandemic halting Liverpools title charge for nearly three months.

Jurgen Klopp and his players have gained legendary status forever, with so many individuals coming up with the goods at different times.

Heres what we think was each Liverpool players best moment of 2019/20.

(NB: Excludes those to have made fewer than 10 appearances in all competitions, which rules out the likes of Harvey Elliott, Caoimhin Kelleher and Andy Lonergan.)

Alissons assist against Man United was a standout moment of the entire campaign, as he fired an inch-perfect pass to the onrushing Mohamed Salah.

The Brazilian then raced the full length of the pitch for good measure, producing a world-class knee slide as he celebrated with his team-mate.

Adrian has had an up-and-down first season at Liverpool, but he contributed greatly in the UEFA Super Cup.

The Spaniard saved Tammy Abrahams must-score penalty in the shootout win over Chelsea, sealing yet another trophy for the Reds.

Trent Alexander-Arnolds meteoric rise continued in 2019/20, as he cemented his reputation as one of world footballs most exciting young players.

His performance at Leicester on Boxing Day was arguably the best individual display of the season, with a goal, two assists and a clean sheet to his name.

Neco Williams has come of age this season and he now looks an able deputy to Alexander-Arnold.

The teenager made his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace in Junean immensely proud moment for a huge talent.

Joe Gomez is very much Virgil van Dijks junior partner at the heart of Liverpools defence, but he became the leader in the FA Cup clash with Everton.

He was magnificent in the 1-0 over the Blues, performing immaculately alongside the inexperienced Nat Phillips.

Van Dijk has repeated last seasons brilliance, becoming an ever-present in the Premier League for a second season in a row.

The Dutchmans header at home to United has to be his best moment, although his incredible headed control to himself against Brighton epitomised his class.

Injuries have again disrupted Joel Matips season, but he was in imperious form at the start of the campaign.

The centre-backs bullet header at home to Arsenal in August set Liverpool on their way to a resounding 3-1 victory.

Lovren leaves Anfield this summer and his season was often miss rather than hit.

Thats not to say there havent been key contributions, however, not least in the 3-1 win over Man City at Anfield, when he was a rock at the back.

His brilliant assist against Chelsea comes close, but Andy Robertsons equaliser at Aston Villa in November was a big moment in the season.

Without his header, and the Sadio Mane strike that followed, the title race could so easily have panned out differently on a day when City looked to have narrowed the gap to just four points.

The win over City was a day that highlighted Liverpools superiority over their rivals and Fabinho was a monster in the middle of the park.

The Brazilians stunning strike opened the scoring he would score a similar effort at home to Palace, too.

Theres only one winner here.

Jordan Henderson became the first-ever Liverpool captain to lift the Premier League trophy it is an image that he will be remembered for forever.

That Steven Gerrard-shaped shadow looming over him is no more.

It might not have been pretty, but Gini Wijnaldums winner at Sheffield United was priceless.

The 29-year-olds volley squeezed through the hands of Dean Henderson to send the away end wild, as Liverpool maintained their 100 percent record in gritty fashion.

When it comes to scoring a penalty, would you trust anyone more than James Milner?

The veterans last-gasp spot-kick against Leicester at Anfield was another enormous moment in the title race, as Liverpools relentless march to glory continued.

Naby Keita has been one of Liverpools star men after the restart, having blown hot and cold prior to it.

The Guineans thunderous strike against Chelsea was his best goal yet for the Reds and further suggests he is on the verge of becoming an increasingly key figure.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain chipped in with eight goals in 2019/20, including a beauty against former club Arsenal in the League Cup.

It was his gorgeous outside-of-the-foot finish away to Genk that was the pick of the bunch, though, with the shot hitting the underside of the crossbar for good measure.

Adam Lallana departs Liverpool as a hugely popular figure, with his impact off the pitch valued greatly by Klopp.

His late equaliser away to United was crucial in its own right, however, preserving the Reds unbeaten record at the time.

This is an obvious one, isnt it?

Scoring in the Premier League against Villa was a great moment for Curtis Jones, as was netting the winning penalty in front of the Kop against Arsenal in the League Cup.

But both pale into insignificance compared to bagging a brilliant winner at home to Everton in the FA Cup.

A dream moment for any boyhood Red.

Xherdan Shaqiris influence at Liverpool has steadily dwindled, but he has still chipped in sporadically.

The Swiss slid home a lovely finish against Everton in the league, on a night when he was at his unpredictable, entertaining best.

Takumi Minamino has yet to make a noticeable contribution for Liverpool, so we will go with his outstanding performance for Salzburg at Anfield.

It was one of the best displays by an opposition player in years, including a well-taken volley.

The 2-0 win over United felt like the day the title was clinched and Salahs aforementioned goal was the crowning moment of the match.

He latched onto Alissons long pass in supreme fashion, before finishing well past David De Gea in front of an ecstatic Kop.

The celebration wasnt too shabby, either.

Mane is a strong Player of the Year contender, producing so many major contributions along the way.

It is his stoppage-time winner at Villa that will arguably be remembered as Liverpools biggest goal of the season, however, with the Senegalese steering a header into the far corner.

It may not have been the most ruthless season of Roberto Firminos career, but he still scored the goal that clinched the Club World Cup back in December.

The 28-year-old finishing with aplomb in the 1-0 win over Flamengo, further etching his name into Liverpool folklore.
