What a team this Liverpool side was. Barnes, Rush and Beardsley were unstoppable. The midfield were a bit more prosaic, but McMahan and Houghton could certainly play. The defense after Hansen got injured started to crumble, though. Didn't matter, so long as the boys upfront kept doing the business. Mad scores, brilliant games, great football. Massive respect for John Barnes putting up with the monkey chants, and playing football from the gods in response. Man was the best in the world at times.
When asked by my wife about the happiest day of my life, I was brave enough to say it was the day we beat the mancs 4-0... Unfortunately, I have no recollection of what happened in life since... lol
What a team. I watched this live with my brother. He'd started his 1st year studying medicine at uni and I was in my 1st year at grammar school. Liverpool were unstoppable but instead of Hysen, I would have used Venison and if Leeds hadn't purchased him, Kenny could have gone for Gary McAllister from Leicester City or some other great playmaker.
i said the same thing to a friend a few months ago, mc'allister went to leeds that summer for 1m , with ronnie whelan becoming very injury prone and big jan having fitness issues he'd have been ideal we should have signed colin hendry that summer aswell he went to city for 400.000
@@johnoshea470 Hendry was a powerhouse for Blackburn whom Kenny would eventually manage. Jamie Redknapp was Kenny's last signing and he turned out well. Nicol, Gillespie, Venison, Burrows - that would have been my ideal defence after Hansen left. Or Nicol, Gillespie, Wright and Ablett.
It's April 19th 2022 and Liverpool are playing Man Utd at Anfield and guess what. United are playing in the same colour kit as they played in this one from 1990. It ends up as 4-0 again. Will they ever learn😂😂😂😂
Crazy how this Liverpool team never retained the Championship after winning 12 out of the first 13 games... Everyone must have thought they where gonna piss it
I think Liverpool played better in the opening months of this season than they did for most of the previous one. Strange how the defence started falling apart, really after the 2-2 draw at home to Man City.
The team hasn't changed a great deal since the 87-88 season. They've won the league twice, probably would have won it this season if Dalglish hadn't left, instead runners-up for the second time, as well as one FA Cup. But 4 years is a long time and you do think there needed to be more refreshment. When you're on top, keep smashing them. Another dynamic attacker maybe for the right side or something more tigerish or crafty in the middle. Not that I didn't love our Ronnie.
Kenny kept buying new sub par strikers to replace Beardsley for some odd reason. If anything I think our midfield needed strengthening with Mcmahan and Whelan getting on in years and becoming more and more injury prone. Someone like Gary Mac. Kenny also should have bought Gazza when he had the chance
@@waz3128 Beardsley was a genius footballer, probably second only to Gascoigne among English players in that era for talent and technique. Wish United had kept him. And Platt. What a team we'd have had by 1990....
I remember watching this game on the Match on lTV as a 12 year old coming up to 13.. And come the third goal by world class barnesey...I was phoning up my man utd fan uncle, and i was taunting his manc arse. But then of course six weeks later. He did the same to me when Man utd got their revenge against us in the rumbelows league cup.. Lol.. But this also of course was when the great liverpool team of the 1980s was now on the decline. And that Manchester United under Alex Ferguson were the rising force of english football in the 1990s.
Took us a couple more years to really start motoring, but the seeds were sown this season. I watched it on The Match too, bought the programme from the newsagent's the day before, was well up for it! Bad result but United didn't play too badly, and I was keen on the light blue kit. And it was a lovely sunny day as I recall, so not all bad news!

@@waz3128 Oh... I suppose they were bound to eventually. Adidas haven't really had a decent new idea for United since they won the contract back so not surprising they're playing the greatest hits. Wish they'd leave this one alone though.
Does this game count as a league win over United? I'm saying this because the league was changed to the premier League This game is from the 1st Division
Some combination of being black, not playing well for England at Italia 90 and being Liverpool's best player and therefore the biggest threat to Man Utd.
I always follow football since I was young, and as a black child, it was the only place everything was fair to me, even with Barnes I knew at some point the crap will be over because my friends who were white hated it, they really hated that racial rubish.
Could be right. He got booed at a lot of grounds at that time, and was sometimes greeted with "England reject" and "where were you in Italy?" chants, but I haven't watched this game in a while so can't remember if that was the case here.
It's been said that bananas were thrown at Highbury when he made his debut, which if true would be completely unacceptable. I have seen no suggestion or evidence that it ever happened again. Your comment makes it sound as though it was a regular event during his 10 years at the club, which simply isn't true. John Barnes was loved by Liverpool fans and vocal racism ended at Anfield when he arrived.
You must be kids who want to superimpose fantasies on the past, fighting imaginary demons. "Sadly under appreciated by Liverpool fans", what the heck are you on about? He was hugely popular and I've never heard of Liverpool fans being racist towards him.
Keep your Ronaldo's, Messi's & Neymar's, there is nothing that brings more joy too your heart than watching John Barnes with the ball at his feet.
He is a genius with the ball something about that gifted left foot
true true true true
What a player Barnes was. Superb
I love how everytime the UTD fans boo Barnes he sets up a goal.

Hard to be believe, but this squad was the last liverpool primiership winning team before last season's
successful return to Primier silverware.
August 1987 to mid 1991 liverpool were faaakkin magnificent 👌 best ever 👌 YES BEST EVER 👌

Cause Daglish resigned mid season.
Back when the game was affordable to watch.
And the atmosphere was 100 times better.
Liverpool shoud have deserved to play Champions at that time,today they have more than ten victories in that Cup!!
ITV’s first live game of the season about a month after the season started… different world then
And even that was a one-off before the weekly live matches started in November.
it was fantastic

the time when Utd felt inferior against Reds, and they feel inferior again in 2020
Nobody does crap alternative strips like Utd. A red team having a blue alternative is unforgiveable
Nah, this kit was an all-time classic. Absolutely beautiful.
@@robicenco1 I used to have it.
23:48 that would've been a great goal if he finished it.
Yep, that was Liverpool in the late 80s, wonderful football. So disappointing how they declined in the 90s.
This was a painful one.
Yep, bad day at the office. Good thing that League Cup tie came along a couple of months later.
@@robicenco1 Amen to that, brother.
Flattering scoreline
Not even close, we outplayed Utd that day.
Ur right it should have been 8
ternyata MU pernah begini... di latihnya sama Alex Ferguson lagi...

Do our 18 league titles up to 1990 count? Did football exist before 1992? I think so.
Same stuff,no difference
I wonder why Barnes was being booed
Some combination of being black, not playing well for England at Italia 90 and being Liverpool's best player and therefore the biggest threat to Man Utd.
If John Barnes playing right now, he would definitely be up there with likes of Messi, Ronaldo and Salah as world-class winger's.
me too

the cup man u fans laugh about other teams winning?..then celebrating like they won the world cup when THEY win it?
John Barnes,master footballer, sadly under appreciated by Liverpool fans who were more interested in his skin colour.
He was loved by Liverpool fans.
We used to boo him SARCASTICALLY the racist bullshit he suffered was not Liverpool fans,we adored him..Barnsey is a legend to us!!!
