Ive seen a lot of topics recently askin "who scored the best goal in the prem" or "who had the best debut for liverpool" but ive been tryin to think who put in the best individual performance in one single game since the premiership began.

The first liverpool performances that spring to mind was fowlers 4 and a half minute hat trick and Paddy Burgers against chelsea. Also i remember when Gerrard switch to right back in the derby a few years back and he was awesome, that even had people callin for him to play there for england in that position.

A couple of other ones i remember from other players in the prem was Bergkamps hat trick against Leicester and no matter how much i hate to say this Vidukas 4 goals and Ravanellis debut against liverpool are performances i remember only to well!

for liverpool there have been some pretty memorable ones.

1. fowler's 4 minute hatrick vs arsenal.
2. owen's 15 minute hatrick vs newcastle.
3. owen's 4 goals vs forest.

outside of our club, it has to be the bergkamp hatrick vs leicester or thierry henry vs leeds last season.

HENRYS 4 GOALS AGAINST LEEDS WASNT BAD,BUT MY BEST FOR LIVERPOOL WOULD PROBABLY BE ROBBIE FOWLER S HATRICK VS ARSENAL

typically there have been several memorable ones against us. henry on good friday, and nigel martyn in the derby. he saved everything that day with his head, leg, backside. we just couldn't score.

Are we talking just in premiership history?
As you have already mentioned Fowlers against the A.rse can i suggest Owens hat-trick against the toon at St James it was Guillits first game and promised sexy football, unfortunatly for him Owen was unstoppable that day. Also Fowler against the scum on Cantona's game back after his ban and perhaps most saddest was Juniniho against Leeds when Boro was relegated the first time, he played his little heart out, was tackling, getting forward, defending, heading and was getting right stuck in. He was completley overcome by the end of the match physically and emotionally, it also helped changed my opinoins on imported players and the meaning of our clubs to them.

Owens 4 goals against Forest a few seasons back. I was there & I met him in the players lounge after too - top day!

i also remember riise putting in a blinding performance in the 5-0 win over ipswich on the lasy day to clinch 2nd place in 2001-2002. he scored twice from left back, turning up twice in the penalty area. he got 8 goals that season. unfortunately, he's never really recaptured that form on a consistent basis.

by **mynameisred** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 2:51 pm

Yeah he was top class that season, maybe we should have swapped him then for Roberto Carlos!!!! I am right in thinking they put a bid in for him but GH turned it down arent I?

?

wot bout owens 2 goal salvo which won us the fa cup against arsenal that as class?

best performances iw ould have to go for fowler in the 4-3 matches with Newcastle two seasons on the run as he just kept going at them.

he is half the player he was then shame really

by **Bruno Zidane!** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 4:35 pm

The 2nd 4 3 game against Newcastle is one game ill never forget, once it went 3-3 i was devasted cos are first half performance were we went 3-0 up was one of the best id seen at anfield and just wanted to get off but me mate pursuaded me to sit down and how glad i was when stig put in a cross which ye couldnt defend cos it was that good and fowler rose like the proverbial salmon and nearly burst the back of the net......Class!

FOWLER IS GOD!

as a liverpool fan it was the day heskey ,,,, off to birmingham.the future is red.

by **mynameisred** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 9:20 pm

Yeah its all downhill for Heskey now, no Owen , no Houllier, no red shirt and maybe no white one for much longer. Still I think there should be a tinge of sadness with his departure. The brief glimpses gave us hope that one day he would be the player he could be but his time simply ran out (although it was prolonged by GH).
How about the day Rushie scored his first goal against the mancs in his career he was getting on by then and if I remember correctly it was against Schmichael. That brought a tear to my eye.

It was on that day that I realised that Stevie was destined to be one of the all time greats at Anfield.

Not cus of the performance, skill or a goal, it was, and I dont know if you can remember this, when he cleared the ball off the line from a blue sh!te attack. The way he celebrated stopping those bitter barstewards scoring will live forever in my memory.

And thats why stevie G can never ever be allowed to leave Anfield!
