I remember watching that game live on tv when i was 15. John Barnes. What a player.
He certainly was.
i was 15 too.great team.this is where man city belong if it wasnt for the arab owners
John barnes would grace the football field today.zero tackling and playing on great pitches.he had everything.pace strength and skill.
I’m an Arsenal fan, but I have to say that Liverpool FC play beautiful, entertaining football, especially the great teams of the 1970’s and 80’s.
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.
One of best club sides England ever saw
Totally agree.
🖐
The best*
one of the best club sides the world has ever seen
John Barnes was unplayable for any team against in his footballing career. What a legend
was he? england for instance?
@@red-pn8fk Who cares about England, when did anyone play amazing for England. Club level is more important. You can't say John Barnes wasn't great player because he was in his day.
@@red-pn8fk wow asking if Barnes was a legend.... have you watched him play moron? Of course he was 1 of the best in the 80s and early 90s
What a team that was
An imperious team. Such a shame they missed out on the double.
This was Craig Johnston's last season with Liverpool, and indeed professional football. He retired quite young.
Apparently he retired at the age of 28 to look after his sister, who had had a serious accident.
What a great player he was
@@tsmay4598 he became a millionaire after designing a football boot for Adidas
The first game I can remember watching on tv. I became a Manchester City Fan, I was nearly 7 years old and all my friends supported either Man U or Liverpool.
This is How it feels to be CITY now.
Yep the real city before you brought it all
John Barnes- what an awesome player he was. Was my idol when I was in school and when playing on school team ( left wing) used to pretend to be him.
So did i ha ha!
What a great side that was. Such a pity they were banned from Europe.
erm..........
Great performance by the lads.
And what a great kit.
I was at this game. Rain flying from the heavens, coins flying from the City fans at our heads.
I bet klopp would love a few players like we had back then , proper skill from all areas of the pitch. And look at that pitch. Brill days
Barnes was excellent that day.
Simon Owens All season. Superb player. Imagine if he'd played on better pitches. You don't see winter pitches like this now
Barnes was like Pele in England in the late 80s
This Liverpool team was something else .
That was a great Liverpool side
I was there that day and it could have been 10 ...even the City fans applauded LFC off the pich
real footy in real English conditions
This was the game that I became a man city fan as a 6 1/2 year old
The days when Liverpool wanted to win the f.a.cup
The state of that halfway line, the mud all over the pitch, getting caked up in slub, I miss 'old' football, as much as I like the 'modern' game.
Barnes pure class
When part of the fun of playing was a nice muddy pitch.
True. If the pitch is this muddy today the players complain of messing up their hair or nails. The referee complains because it's classed as 'unsafe'. The groundskeepers complain they've got too much work.

I love the sight of Craig Johnston picking himself out of the mud, almost his whole front covered including his face, disgustedly trying to shake a clingy lump of it from his hand.
1987 August to mid 1991 barnes wow
This. Is. Football.
craig johnston most underrated
I was there, great game and brill pitch ! A proper mans game in them days too, kipex stand on touch line, pies flying over at half time and when we come out down back of terraces we had a good twatting too, it snowed like crazy on way home over top of snake pass
As I don't like being hit with food and then physically assaulted I can only assume that I'm not "a real man."
I rem that sun afternoon. Brilliant
The cop Thailand ชอบตั้งแต่ยุคนี้ ทุกคนในทีม♥♥♥👍👍👍
Ah those were the days!
Crap Day! Even my Lovely Mum came to the game that day, it never stopped raining! John Barnes was amazing for Liverpool, what a pity he never managed to repeat his brilliance for England! dx
You get all the way to the quarter finals as the 2nd division side (at the time) only to pull out what was the best team of the decade in the draw. I knew then it wasn't going to be our year to make the semis.
The pitch was like a pudding. Look at the state of it and the players. Things have improved.
I was at this game I had done a delivery to the club days earlier and Howard Kendall and jimmy frizzle were standing outside I asked could I get a ticket and they told me to go and see bernard Halford and he give me a membership card and told me to go to the ticket office I got 2 tickets for the Kippax and sat on my hands as I am a Liverpool fan but when Liverpool scored the whole end erupted
the liverpool manchester c rivalry goes way back
The real man city
Telepathy from Barnes.... No words
Well that was a muddy field .
Kits with mud on them 😍😍😍
利物浦實力相當強勁😀
This team definitely win European cup if there was no ban. Barnes should have gone to serie a or Barcelona or Bayern Munich
@John Cornell more money and chance to play in European cup
@John Cornell AC Milan and Napoli better at the time
@John Cornell late 80's was gullit, rijkaard, van basten, rijkaard, whipped real Madrid 5-0 won European cup.
What ground is this?
Maine Road.
halcyon days....craig Johnson-rod got absolutely smashed....
Barnes eh wow!!
The best team in the world. Only Liverpool! YNWA
Barnes at his peak here. Unplayable like others are saying
That's not a straight halfway line
My first season as a Blue this not the best of games for us 🤦♂️Lake had a nightmare that day still would been a great player if it wasn't for his injury.
Question:
Grobbelaar at his best or Alisson at his best - who would you pick?
Alisson. Because he's not psychologically disturbed.
Grobbelaar.
Why do ALL the pitches in the 70's and 80's seem to look more like quagmires?
Is it me or is the halfway line all over the place? Groundsman must have had a couple of cans of Special Brew. 😁😁
Before the oil started to flow...
But wouldn't argue if they took your club over.
@@craigmullen9046 Don't have to worry about that pal. Everyone knows the true man city
@@sib1930 whos the true Man City then??
What would today’s players make of the pitch I wonder.
McMahon before he came to take the piss at city
Pitch is a mess
When City were honest.
short shorts
Not one of today's lfc players would get in this team . We are utter crap nowadays
Salah? Firmino? Mané? Milner?
@@cleehomes Van Dijk? Robertson? Alisson? Shaqiri?
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.
@@DaveWallerLFC I agree with all you said about them being good squad players who came in to fill in for the team however non of the defenders you mentioned would start over the current back four of Robertson, VvD, Gomez or Trent ever. Barnes is the only player in that team & a younger hansen that would definitely be in this current first XI. The rest have an argument.
As skillful as this Liverpool side undoubtedly was there was no character to it, no backbone. They were on fire when things were going well but when they were up against it they crumbled
I do see your point. Loads of skill Who was our men of steel in midfield McMahon
@@solo-repair9374 mcmahon was alright but he was no Souness. A few of the Wimbledon players said they were staring them down in the tunnel and the Liverpool lads just didn't look up for a battle at all. It's a sort of Brazil in the 80s or Keegan's Newcastle mentality. It's brilliant to watch when things are going well but they're always going to struggle against your more in your face teams
They lost 2 league games all season! I think that shows some backbone. Players like McMahon and Whelan were certainly no soft touch. The team had an off-day against Wimbledon and lost a game of fine margins, but were magnificent all season.
@@DaveWallerLFC look at the way Keane controlled the juventus game on the way to the treble, beckham getting us over the line against Greece, Gerrard for Liverpool countless times but West Ham and Istanbul spring to mind. As good as Mcmahon and Whelan undoubtedly were did they ever take hold of a game like this? Of course they didn't
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.
Way back before Manchester City bought their way to success.
Boring!!!
@@craigmullen9046 Truth hurt?
@@sib1930 No it doesn't, because it is genuinely boring. But I'll put it to you and say this, if your club gets a takeover of City's magnitude you make sure you protest against it. Don't be a hypocrite now!!!
@@craigmullen9046 Still the truth
@@sib1930 couldn't give a flying one 🖕🖕🖕
I bet klopp would love a few players like we had back then , proper skill from all areas of the pitch. And look at that pitch. Brill days
