I'm a Leeds supporter I miss the Liverpool games always great games great respect between the two teams - Shankly and Revie best pals - hope we go up to resume those battles I miss them
@@orwellboy1958 has been a long time mate various reasons Peter Ridsdale and his over expenditure when we were in the Premier League bad management all over but hopefully this will be the time under Marcelo Bielsa also hope you lads win the league
As a very small lad, my mum (who was from Leeds) dragged me along to Elland Road in the hope I would be a LUFC fan, I broke he heart when I told her I'd crossed the Pennines to support LFC. I'm not sure she ever forgave me that one, bless her.
I remember this game well, the Saturday afternoon live game shown on sports stadium in Ireland, i idolised this liverpool side , they could have won the league the following season if souness had not dismantled the squad in the summer of 91, barnes was outstanding on the day
Still the best game I went to at Elland Road , even the 4-3 Viduka game doesn't beat it, in this game we knew we had a team who could be champions, they just had to believe, the next year they did it.
Eddie Power this season marked the end of the road for the great, all conquering Liverpool sides. More than a quarter of a century later they have still to fully recover
I remembered the other day, that in Autumn 1988, Liverpool made an initial inquiry to United about the feasibility of swapping McGrath for either McMahon or Whelan. You never followed it up, however.
Robbo would have been immense. That goes for some Liverpool players of the time, as you had your own drinking culture. Though I suspect Frank Stapleton was right when he said it couldn't have been as bad as at OT. Incidentally, you tried to sign Robbo in about 1980. Imagine him and Souness in the same midfield. You were unstoppable as it was.
The Tuesday afternoon pub crawls of the United team of the 80’s was well known I believe. We had some great players who were also great drinkers. The pansies of today would cry if they saw that!!
I totally agree we just needed Centre half and another goalkeeper if Dalglish stayed we probably would’ve had Schmeichel as he wanted to come over and And try out for the club but Souness said no that sums it all up

@@Kill--alllll---IDF Yes. That time period corresponds more or less exactly with the first wave of my interest in football. Liverpool were magnificent to watch and, once they started to decline (and the game in general started becoming more corporate), I lost interest for a time. Whenever I've had a peak of interest since then, the footage of the Liverpool team from that time period (or, more generally, across the 70s and 80s) has represented the game at its very best. Houghton was very good, but I'm sure that just Barnes and Beardsley (or indeed just Barnes alone) would've been sufficient for the '88 and '90 titles. In 1990-91 specifically, they were often amazing in attack (almost like the apex of all they'd done over the previous seasons), but they also had key injuries in midfield (McMahon and Whelan) and looked ever more shaky in defence, so that they were too erratic overall to maintain the title challenge (they lost almost as often as they won from mid-February onwards, but had only won 4 of their previous 11 games prior to that point). Also, Dalglish had fallen out with Beardsley and kept using him as a sub in away games (and you have to wonder whether Liverpool would've built an unassailable lead in the title-race if he'd played more often, especially considering how good he still was with Newcastle in the mid-90s). 1990-91 was kind of, simultaneously, the apex and the falling-apart of that great Liverpool team.
He certainly wasn't popular before he signed. I think one of the videos on here has the Kop singing "fuck off Speedie" in a game against Chelsea! I can't remember what the reaction was when he signed, but goals against Utd and Everton weren't a bad way to start. I think he did well, despite probably not being of the standard expected at that time. This game was released on video in this country, which is where this version is from. Not sure if it was broadcast live overseas as well.
Barnes scores 2 and creates 3 he was just stupendous barnes was an absolute class player

As a Liverpool supporter I hope Leeds get promoted back to the Prem. This season, you've been away to long

John Barnes from 1987 to 1991 was just sensational

What a player Barnes was..

This match encapsulates Liverpool of the 90's. Devastating to the opposition in attack, devastating to themselves in defence.
Amazing to think that Gary McAllister was playing for Liverpool 10 years later in another game that finished 5-4.
At 38:42, the final whistle goes and David Speedie scores an own goal and two Leeds ballboys wrestle each other to retrieve the ball from the net.
This game sums up what was wrong with that Liverpool team a bit like the 2013-14 team very exciting going forward but at the back ....

I certainly preferred watching it in the 80s.

This 90/91 season liverpool wer playing better than the 89/90 season dalglish left and it messed the players moods up

Dunno ... they were spectacular at times, but also more shaky and erratic, and with key injuries in midfield and defence.
