Rubbish, they started the 0-1 game at Anfield with: Bruce Grobbelaar Rob Jones Steve Nicol Steve Harkness Neil Ruddock Nigel Clough Mark Walters Jamie Redknapp Steve McManaman Ian Rush Packed full of international players.....and our team that night? Welch, Llewellyn, Scott, Shail, Munro, Edwards, Martin, Bent, Robinson, Allison, Tinnion...and Pennyfather came on as sub. Heroes all...forever in City's history....but that wasn't a bad Liverpool side by any means and they should have (not of) beaten our eleven easily. Of course Scousers will say it was an awful Liverpool side, because they lost to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World class..... The best I've ever seen at the Gate by a long shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best performance I`ve ever seen from a City defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No direction from souness etc. As a team, they should have performed much better with the individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Their goal was scored by another one of those players who always seemed to score against us no matter who they played for - Paul Kitson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not rubbish , I'm not comparing Liverpool with us but the Liverpool of 4 years previous that won their last title. Yes rush played but was on his last legs by then and as for harness and Walters it's laughable to suggest they were decent Liverpool players .

maxjak Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Incredible that he was only with us for 18 months……..I remember the 2-1 cup win at Leicester, and the game he spoke of against Wolves, when he came on and lit up the stadium with 2 goals. When Andy Llewellyn had his testimonial ( I cannot remember the year) Jacki came to play, and his appearance must have put a good 6-7,000 on the Gate, as everyone I spoke to was there to see Jacki play one more time. He was the George Best of Poland, and his incredible football ability was not the only thing that he had in common with Georgie? I have never heard of anyone who didn't like him, other than possibly a few husbands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played for SIX seasons after that. Harkness was at Liverpool for ten years - they don't tend to put up with crap players for THAT long, and after Liverpool he played for Benfica, Blackburn and Sheff Wed, not the worst CV I've seen. The Liverpool team we beat had well over 200 international caps between them...I know what you're saying in that they were nowhere near the best Liverpool teams of the 80s - but that was a fine team we beat...

Look mate you've contradicted yourself by saying they were a fine team but not compared with the teams of the eighties. We beat Liverpool fc the name , that team were not ten percent as good as that Liverpool squad of the eighties is what I'm getting at . They were a bang average prem side really but because it was Liverpool it made it that that much extra special. I do agree with you it was a magical night but please don't make out it was a brilliant Liverpool team because it wasn't . A very good mate of mine followed Liverpool home and away and in Europe during the eighties and is also a fan of the tent dwellers , he hated it but shook my hand because we ended souness reign . They went from Ray houghton, Peter Beardsley , John Barnes etc to John scales , razor ruddock and Julian ******* dicks within a few years . In comparison it was a shocking Liverpool side. Sweet though none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Lazy and brilliant' could describe Tomlin, JET and Trundle as well as Jacki...these are the football geniuses we've loved in recent times...but to me Jacki was head and shoulders above all of them...

Sweet though none the less. No problem mate, happy to have this debate, I never called the 1994 Liverpool team 'brilliant' as you said I did...I said it was a fine team, and it was. It was not a 'shocking' Liverpool side as you said it was - Grobbelaar, Rush, McManaman, Clough, Redknapp, Nicol etc...far from shocking, and far from their worst side. And I didn't contradict myself. I said the side we beat was a fine side but not as good as their sides in their glory years. Where's the contradiction??

SuperDziek Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 It's that Wolves game at home I'll always remember him for. Came on at 1-0 down with not long left and he scored two to win it 2-1. The goals used to be on YouTube but can't find them. If anyone reading this has the highlights of the last 15 minutes of that game, please get them on there! As a 12/13 year old at the time, who cares about the lack of effort etc. It's the genius which he provided which means I'll always look back on him fondly. JACKI'S ON FIRE, YOUR DEFENCE IS TERRIFIED!

So let Jacki go then Cole was sold a short while later. Worst football I have ever seen after they both left. Pulis has just moved up 1 place in great city managers.
