Keep your Ronaldo's, Messi's & Neymar's, there is nothing that brings more joy too your heart than watching John Barnes with the ball at his feet.

He is a genius with the ball something about that gifted left foot

LIVERPOOL CHAMPIONS IN 2020 🥳😎🔴🔴🏆🏆🏆After 30 years of hassle the title of champion is deserved for us !!!! YNWA FANS OF THE WORLD 👊👊

[@TheJimmyLew]

Thank you my friend, are educate

[@MadDogOfist]

What a team this Liverpool side was. Barnes, Rush and Beardsley were unstoppable. The midfield were a bit more prosaic, but McMahan and Houghton could certainly play. The defense after Hansen got injured started to crumble, though. Didn't matter, so long as the boys upfront kept doing the business. Mad scores, brilliant games, great football. Massive respect for John Barnes putting up with the monkey chants, and playing football from the gods in response. Man was the best in the world at times.

When asked by my wife about the happiest day of my life, I was brave enough to say it was the day we beat the mancs 4-0... Unfortunately, I have no recollection of what happened in life since... lol

[@DDaSilva1980]

What a team. I watched this live with my brother. He'd started his 1st year studying medicine at uni and I was in my 1st year at grammar school. Liverpool were unstoppable but instead of Hysen, I would have used Venison and if Leeds hadn't purchased him, Kenny could have gone for Gary McAllister from Leicester City or some other great playmaker.

[@johnoshea470]

i said the same thing to a friend a few months ago, mc'allister went to leeds that summer for 1m , with ronnie whelan becoming very injury prone and big jan having fitness issues he'd have been ideal we should have signed colin hendry that summer aswell he went to city for 400.000

[@DDaSilva1980]

@@johnoshea470 Hendry was a powerhouse for Blackburn whom Kenny would eventually manage. Jamie Redknapp was Kenny's last signing and he turned out well. Nicol, Gillespie, Venison, Burrows - that would have been my ideal defence after Hansen left. Or Nicol, Gillespie, Wright and Ablett.

[@lfcspectre4335]

Always great getting one over scum. #YNWA

[@SDCLFC1]

The team hasn't changed a great deal since the 87-88 season. They've won the league twice, probably would have won it this season if Dalglish hadn't left, instead runners-up for the second time, as well as one FA Cup. But 4 years is a long time and you do think there needed to be more refreshment. When you're on top, keep smashing them. Another dynamic attacker maybe for the right side or something more tigerish or crafty in the middle. Not that I didn't love our Ronnie.

[@waz3128]

Kenny kept buying new sub par strikers to replace Beardsley for some odd reason. If anything I think our midfield needed strengthening with Mcmahan and Whelan getting on in years and becoming more and more injury prone. Someone like Gary Mac. Kenny also should have bought Gazza when he had the chance

[@robicenco1]

@@waz3128 Beardsley was a genius footballer, probably second only to Gascoigne among English players in that era for talent and technique. Wish United had kept him. And Platt. What a team we'd have had by 1990....

Barnes was fantastic but why on earth couldn't he play like that for England?

[@alanw8571]

I think Liverpool played better in the opening months of this season than they did for most of the previous one. Strange how the defence started falling apart, really after the 2-2 draw at home to Man City.

[@makiseythimopoulos3470]

it was fantastic

[@nikreece6295]

I remember watching this game on the Match on lTV as a 12 year old coming up to 13.. And come the third goal by world class barnesey...I was phoning up my man utd fan uncle, and i was taunting his manc arse. But then of course six weeks later. He did the same to me when Man utd got their revenge against us in the rumbelows league cup.. Lol.. But this also of course was when the great liverpool team of the 1980s was now on the decline. And that Manchester United under Alex Ferguson were the rising force of english football in the 1990s.

[@robicenco1]

Took us a couple more years to really start motoring, but the seeds were sown this season. I watched it on The Match too, bought the programme from the newsagent's the day before, was well up for it! Bad result but United didn't play too badly, and I was keen on the light blue kit. And it was a lovely sunny day as I recall, so not all bad news!

[@SDCLFC1]

Nobody does crap alternative strips like Utd. A red team having a blue alternative is unforgiveable

I wonder why Barnes was being booed

[@DaveWallerLFC]

Some combination of being black, not playing well for England at Italia 90 and being Liverpool's best player and therefore the biggest threat to Man Utd.

[@lfcspectre4335]

If John Barnes playing right now, he would definitely be up there with likes of Messi, Ronaldo and Salah as world-class winger's.

[@TheFamilesso]

me too

[@TheFamilesso]

I always follow football since I was young, and as a black child, it was the only place everything was fair to me, even with Barnes I knew at some point the crap will be over because my friends who were white hated it, they really hated that racial rubish.

[@DaveWallerLFC]

Could be right. He got booed at a lot of grounds at that time, and was sometimes greeted with "England reject" and "where were you in Italy?" chants, but I haven't watched this game in a while so can't remember if that was the case here.

@@smittenthekitteninmittens2679 I guess Liverpool fans through bananas at him sarcastically too, right?

[@DaveWallerLFC]

It's been said that bananas were thrown at Highbury when he made his debut, which if true would be completely unacceptable. I have seen no suggestion or evidence that it ever happened again. Your comment makes it sound as though it was a regular event during his 10 years at the club, which simply isn't true. John Barnes was loved by Liverpool fans and vocal racism ended at Anfield when he arrived.

[@danyoutube7491]

You must be kids who want to superimpose fantasies on the past, fighting imaginary demons. "Sadly under appreciated by Liverpool fans", what the heck are you on about? He was hugely popular and I've never heard of Liverpool fans being racist towards him.
