Maybe, that was arguably our best side since the end of the 80s imo.

hahahaha good litle laugh for a saturday afternoon , but seriously not a chance mate these were champions everyone one of them hard , and class driven on by the as he was called then Caesar Souness , as i said not a weakness in the team not one , beating benficrrowly beaten by france a home and away when this benfica team was virtually the portugal national side that was narrowly beaten in euro 84 by platini's france

Agree Faz when u think of it this team was champions in all comps Rafa's side in 08/09 only came second if your not first your as good as last in football.

sammy was a cog in the machine very very good worker and top passer , graig ran his heart out scored goals aswell top player.

is it just me or was the game so much quicker back then?? or was it just the way liverpool played??

Good question from my memory it was quicker then. The ball used to fly around in those days. Obviously players were physically no different I put it down to we were then equivalent to Barcelona today.

Yeah, i think we were quicker,we had a regular team with hardly any changes which helped a lot as everyone knew where everyone was on the pitch and they all stuck to their job.it was very direct when the opportunity arose and that's when people used to say you could swear we had 12 men on the pitch. Those were the days
