We just never turn up now. Woodward stewardship has turned us into a poor footballing club with no philosophy what ao ever other than clueless scatter gun.
Probably wouldn't have done if the Referee hadn't bottled sending Grobbelaar off for his assault on the already hobbling Gordon McQueen in the last minute.Mind you, we used to be the underdogs against Liverpool, especially in 1977, 1979, and 1985. We always seemed to get a cup result against them, though they did beat us at Wembley in 1983.
We have underachieved in the European Cup for many a long year. I was discussing the 1965-66 season earlier and we were dead certs to reach that final, but Partizan beat us. Same against Monaco, Dortmund, and Leverkusen. Losing to Barca in Rome was no disgrace but failing to learn our lesson from that in 2011 raised a lot of questions. Liverpool have won six and been losing finalists, what, three times? That's some boast and maybe they'll be 20-6 or maybe more, by the time we get our act together (something Bill Shankly used to worry about in the early 70s, but needlessly).We sure were, then the 90's arrived and SAF just completely flipped the script. Not sure why we didn't kick on after 1999 and win atleast one more CLwith that squad. Apart from the fact teams were desperate to beat the big dogs as they still are to this day, hence why Barca have fecked up badly since 2015 also.
This is true. Gobbleshite was a dirty bastard and got away with loads back then. Refs loved Liverpool.Probably wouldn't have done if the Referee hadn't bottled sending Grobbelaar off for his assault on the already hobbling Gordon McQueen in the last minute.
That really isn't the point of this thread and it's silly to come in here with that comment. It's been done and discussed. Not a moaning thread at all.Are we good at anything? We have no redeeming quality.
Liverpool got away with murder back then, but many will argue so did we when we were top dogs.This is true. Gobbleshite was a dirty bastard and got away with loads back then. Refs loved Liverpool.
Quite depressing really, 6 bloody times. As far as 3 finals lost I only remember 2007 and 2018, what’s the third ?We have underachieved in the European Cup for many a long year.
