I think there is a fair degree of revisionism on this forum. Yes, Liverpool were as bad as we are now. In the premier league era, go back to the Souness days, early days of houllier or hodgson and daglish. And we have went to Anfield and beat them soundly, 96/97, 97/98. We did not beat them 5-0 At Anfield, but we were in absolute free fall then and if we want to compare hammerings, we destroyed them at home in 02/03, I think hyppia or henchoz was sent off early .. they were in a similar place to what we are now, this was the end for houllier
