    After watching Dalglish and Rush for a few years, I honestly feel that some of us were getting a bit bored and assumed success was inevitable.
    But the signings of Aldridge, Barnes, Beardsley and Houghton were an absolute masterstroke. The quality of football went to another level and these were such exciting times to be following Liverpool FC

    I love this for so many different reasons: John Barnes' little left-foot dinks that took the defender out so sublimely; Craig Johnston throwing mud in dismay; and the fact that the halfway line looked as though the groundsman who painted it was pissed.

      Silly comment even at that time (I'm assuming your comment is no earlier than January 2018). Johnston was in the team. He would not ever get in the team in the past 2 or 3 years under Klopp. Gary Gillespie, Nigel spackman & Gary Ablett RIP wouldn't have either as they weren't class performers. Mane, Salah & Firmino were showing great quality at the time of your comment. Coutinho had just left. Van Dijk was new with TAA & Robertson starting to showcase some of their talent so you can be forgiven for that.

      Gillespie was class, he was just injury prone. Ablett and Spackman did a good job then, and I expect could do the same in the current team. Not saying they'd be starters (as they weren't then) but wouldn't let anyone down if they did play.

      I feel like you're changing the question here. The comment I took exception to was that this Liverpool team had no character or backbone, as this simply isn't true. Shifting this to be whether or not McMahon and Whelan individually dominated games doesn't seem relevant. (Although I'm interested to know how you can give a definitive answer on this about players from 30 years ago in a team you don't support. If you were watching Liverpool home and away every week at that time I envy you, but this seems a bit unlikely.) It's a team game. As a team, Liverpool took hold of games most weeks. I didn't see your game v Juventus (Liverpool were playing at Anfield that night I think), but Beckham trying to play Greece on his own seems a strange performance to idealise. If he'd tried passing to his team mates rather than trying to do everything himself the game would probably have been comfortable. It was only Greece after all.
