It’s a long time ago and I was young. But it’s not quite my memory. They had plenty of wonderful attacking footballers back in those days. And while most English teams were deploying stereotype brick shit house centre halves, they had some fantastic skilful footballers in those positions.

They did have some great central defenders in those days, and they did use the ball carrying quality to start the play.

The problem was the default of playing back to the keeper rather than playing through what we would now call 'the press' in them days it was just a bit of pressure by the attackers.

My memory of them was a lot of this, some interplay by the defenders and central midfield then a boot over the top for their fast wingers to run onto.

They did have some technically very good players but they are and always have been a long ball team.

I've mentioned before that I texted an Arsenal ST holder at half-time to complain about the temperature and he said he was watching at home as he knew we'd hammer them.

Can they also charge the ref for being a spineless git as he didn't book them at the time.

Pointless... According to all the Scouse soothsayers, the reason the Dippers got royally stiffed is because the ref failed to send off Rodri. At least they're admitting the only chance they stood is having more players on the pitch than City. :-/

To add insult to injury, these paragons of virtue are being charged with protesting over the blind injustice. Now ONE ex-referee has come out saying Rodri should've been sent off, the Miseryside candle burning has gone into overdrive & turned into a wax inferno!

It's never their fault
It's never their faaaaaault
Always the victims
It's never their fault!

When Rodri go this yellow the ref did that “you did one over there and another over there” thing which I thought was wrong because it was his first foul. Stones had done a couple and I wondered if the ref had confused them. i suspect someone had a word because a red card for two fouls would have been exceptionally harsh

Rodri dragged a liverpool player back by his shirt but the ref played an advantage. If he'd blown for the foul he would have booked Rodri
The one he was booked for was the second time he'd held a shirt
As for the supposed second yellow, there was hardly anything in that as it was Akanji that had made the Liverpool player stumbe. It was one of the accumulation fouls, not a yellow in itself

So you don't remember Clemence rolling the ball out to Neal.neal 5 yard pass to Hughes.hughes to Thompson Thompson to Kennedy Kennedy back to Clemence..and repeat...like you say you were young.
this often happened in tricky away matches to quieten the home crowd and take the sting out the game.
No one is denying they had good attacking players too in those days,...that's not the point,they bored the pants of many football fans .with negative tactics which involved back pass after back pass to Clemence.
Before the rule change.
And like another poster has said,since the change they struggled to win the league
Funny that.

I’m not going to argue about how entertaining you thought they were.


Souness was well on his way to ensuring Liverpool’s period of dominance was behind them before the back pass rule came in.

He fills a roll. A completely one eyed idiots guide to being a Liverpool fan that the intended audience lap up.

If you read the full article it’s a full house in the anti City bingo game.

* We couldn’t possibly compete with City’s billions.

* Grealish was ok but for £100 million he should be and is still a diving twat.

* Rodri is a cheat, as was Fernandinho, and should have been sent off.

* I’m such a geezer I would have butted Pep if he’d tried that with me.

* And of course, a long and detailed account of how the whole crowd was constantly singing Hillsborough songs.

He’s probably too stupid to realise what his roll actually is in the media but he inadvertently fills it to perfection.

Aldridge was part of the Liverpool team that lost 0-2 to Arsenal on the title deciding match of the 88-89 season. Safe to assume he wasn't a warrior on the pitch.

Remember it well. Showed his class when he was crying on the pitch at the end and his Ireland teammate David O Leary broke off from celebrating to console him. Only for him to look up and tell him to fuck off.

He’s also probably one of the most overrated footballers in history. You hear him talked about as a legend and a great. The reality is that apart from two years standing in for Ian Rush when he went on holiday to Italy, he spent virtually all the rest of his career in the lower leagues.
 
I think tbf, during Liverpool’s period of dominance, from 1976 to 1990, the team towards the end of that period was far more exciting and attacking than those towards the start and the middle. Barnes, Beardsley, Rush, Daglish, Molby, (C) Johnson and Walsh were all exciting attacking players.

And John Aldridge was a ****.
