5 teams that blew their chances in Premier League title race

2. Rodgers' Liverpool 13/14

Rodgers came closer to title win than any other Liverpool manager

Liverpool's title run in 13/14 under Brendan Rodgers, was the season where the club almost ended their wait for a league crown since 1990. The Northern Irishman assembled an experienced team with a dynamic attacking line up only to cover for their weak defensive setup.

It paid dividends early on as Liverpool were rampant going forward with Rodgers containing the issue of leaking goals with more attacking firepower, as the likes of Suarez, Coutinho, Gerrard, Sterling and Sturridge continued to break open defences.

However, costly slip-ups against Chelsea and Palace in the most crucial moments of the season gave Manchester City the opportunity they needed to pull away from Liverpool reclaiming the title they lost the previous year to Manchester United.

Liverpool has not come close to playing a more attractive brand of football or challenging for the league title since Rodgers' team of 13/14.
