Hurts more than other goals that lost us finals!

Fowlers book is very interesting talking about the start of Houllier era. Effectively systematically selling all spice boys/booze players such as Babb, McAteer etc

Yeah it really was a massive shift in thr culture. Like carragher said "Some listened, some didnt" 😂

I have mixed feelings about this period. Roy had us playing some absolutely wonderful football, and after the Souness years it felt like we made great strides back towards being a top team, we just didn’t seem mentally strong enough in the big games or when it really mattered. I loved the pass and move footie, and had some good youngsters coming through, just never seemed able to make that final step to truly challenging for the title.

Funnily enough, we needed a Souness type skipper in midfield

Funnily, i agree with Redknapp. That cup final was a MUST win. I think it broke us mentally and gave the scum the momentum that ultimately resulted in the treble 😭😭😭

That game was horrible and neither side deserved to win really but yeah that goal was a knife in the stomach. HOWEVER! I totally disagree that Liverpool winning that match would have changed their mindset. If anything it would've made them worse and acted as confirmation of their big time charlieness. Win or lose those lads were on the booze. Needed a culture change at the club and no poxy FA Cup win over utd was gonna fix that overnight. Wishful thinking on redknapps part imo.

"Evans being hands off" is a weird one for me. I agree, that's how it felt, but it really shouldn't have done considering he'd been a coach at various levels at the club for many years before taking the hot seat. I put it down to his persona in the (relative to today) few interviews and news articles we had access to at the time... yes kids, there was a time the internet did not exist. Great vid Andy, more please!

But Jaysis they could pass the ball. The winning goal in the 2nd 4-3 against Newcastle was so calm and clinical. Evans was a good coach, if only he had a tough guy assisitant or vice verse

​@andycantwell the fact that mid 90s team never won the league hurts me badly 😔

Great players, underperforming TEAM!! Imagine what that was like after witnessing the Shankly boys AND the Paisley boys and THEN the Kenny boys?!!

Ah, funny you mention that Villa game in 1994/95, as looking back that was a 'downing tools'/ season's over game. WTF For all the talent, they needed a spine; a top keeper, centre half, and reliable midfielder - with the ability to dig in, and grind out results. The Newcastle/ Coventry back to back games sums them up. And from memory Utd were no better in the Cup Final, in fact they were just as poor - but managed to scrape a win. And then the nadir; finishing 4th in a two horse race in 1996/97......

@andycantwell

Yeah totally agree on the need for the spine, in hindsight should have dug into 96/97 a bit more

Brilliant video I love that area ❤❤

Great video, I honestly think if we had a better keeper? Coz I think James is the worst keeper Liverpool have had since I started watching/going and we’re talking Tommy Lawrence I do think he was the weak link

Great times. Still got my beige away kit and extra baggy home kit YNWA

If I had to choose I would choose beating MancU 7-0 over the white suits but they are both dear to me.

Those suits were a bad idea no matter WHO would have had it and no matter WHO was meant to wear them. Good FOWLER, the only thing on a par with those suits was the godawful 'ecru' away kits some years ago!!! As for today? Tomorrow is my 62nd bidet and so hopefully the early k/o will yield a good result and send me into the afternoon with a smile as I get rip-roaringly arseholed and forget what I said to my wife at 4.20 in the afternoon!!

Great video 💪🏼 but you forgot all the funny stories about them like: The Pound Game - where they would pass a Pound coin between them during a match and at the fínele whistle, whoever had the coin had to buy beers for the whole team 🤣 and of course the time they bought two horses just to name them “a horse” and “another horse” so the announcer would say:”here comes a horse and here comes another horse” 🤣🤣🤣

Watching the game in Dublin in 96, load of United friends/fans next to me. As soon as those clowns rolled (Babb, McAteer, Scales, James, et al) out in Barry White (no pun) garb of almost parody proportions I knew we were doomed, the game was abs trash and I hate losing to that lot but karma and putting us out of our misery was the most we deserved

​@@andycantwellI think Andy Houllier, as you eluded to started that new era, picked up by Benitez (let's not talk about Roy to Brenda era/via Kenny-the lost years) since Klopp took over the team has been consistent, something we never had in the 90's....and if it wasn't for Abu Dhabi (I refuse to call them City) we'd have won 2 to 3 more PL

No. The end.

No, i do not think so Liverpool never really competed with man utd when man utd were good Just like when liverpool were good, man utd did not really compete against liverpool Although they say liverpool, and man utd are biggest rivals in epl, they never actually competed at same time for the english top league. Yep, liverpool and man utd are massive north west england rivals, they never actually were ever good at the same time. That means they never actually went head to head over and over again for the league. That liverpool team did not compete really with man utd back then. Liverpool were finished as a league competing team with paul merson scoring winner at anfield in 1991, just after king kenny resigned for no reason from liverpool, and left liverpool with the run in against arsenal with no manager. They never competed for the league again the rest of the 1990s In 2002 i think they came 2nd, but in reality were not competing with arsenal that year for league. After 1991, liverpool never really competed for league again till suarez was playing for them, that year they threw it away at crystal palace. So that was over 2 decades later.

Your forgetting 2008 and several other instances under both Benitez and Houllier when Liverpool were still in the conversation in spring. Easy enough to look up the stats.

Cantona was an overrated ballon! Does anyone still buy newspapers or listen to them?
