@@larsfriisc yeah, Klopp brought it back, what Shanks first putt in place, and Souness struggled to maintain in the end after Dalglish went through so much, and was lost certainly by the time Benítez was established. Slott seems to have kept Klopp’s style, just refined it. Dalglish had Blackburn playing that pass and move very effectively, too. They just lacked depth of squad and new signings, especially when Kenny went ‘upstairs the year or so after they won the league.

[@BelfastManUtdTherapy]

What stands out for me is the quality of play from both sides Yes, we were way off Liverpool back then but all players on the pitch could pass and move, as well as control the ball. Both sides had intensity. Too many players now are athletes first and the amount of shit passing in the premier league is proof of that. No egos even from that great Liverpool side. Just men fighting for every ball. Liverpool back then were brilliant. Mad to think of way was ahead, a new premier league and the age of sky TV.

John Barnes was the best player in the world back then.

[@cameronirvine3178]

a striking 3 of Barnes / Rush / Beardsley ... amazing !

2020 Liverpool back where they belong. 2020 Man Utd back where they belong.

On my first trip to Manchester with my family, a 12 year old liverpool fan, me, watched this game in my dad's friends house(he's man utd) . My dad was man city. One of my happiest childhood memories

[@stevenwhite3693]

i was there as a 14 year old,standing on kop.the place was bouncing

[@martinclibery2455]

Steven White Was 16 an can be seen in the Kop when Barnes makes it 3-0 I'm wearing green black and red tracky top only for a couple of seconds but I'm there ,

[@CB-xr1eg]

A scouser wearing a tracky top...whatever next?

[@internbrandcontact7497]

Why were they booing Barnes?

[@CB-xr1eg]

A, Because he was black. B, Because he never really played as well for England as he did for Liverpool.

[@francispace9985]

Lucky you!

[@jackfewtrell1073]

Barnes was an absolute beast

[@elhadjiousmanesam8006]

i was born in 90s but i really like this liverpool playing style team YWNA

[@Fleshox19-uz3qt]

It's good to hear the voice of Brian Moore, so enthusiastic when goals sre scored. I noticed how both Barnes and Ince were always booed when they got the ball, it was nice to see goalies actually catching the ball. I loved the 80's and i loved watching this team.

[@wakingfromslumber9555]

John Barnes and Ian rush what legends !

[@tcsl7764]

And some people think skill and technique has only now just been invented in English football..

[@deeboh123]

John Barnes - my hero

[@kevinstoneham1245]

5.35 was the trade mark Liverpool three phase move as I called it with Barnes as the unmarked runner. Absolutely brilliant.

[@juicyjlim]

The movement was so crisp and fast!

[@bareminimumbrother3980]

The majority of these players on the pitch playing to such high standards and ability were from the British isles. Go forward thirty years and we virtually have none in the whole league.

[@markwhittaker6866]

Exactly.

[@BurnsTennis]

However, this is one thing I like a lot about Klopp. He has a lot of young British talent in his squad. In all of his Liverpool squads since 2015, half of the players are British. Curtis Jones coming through, Alexander Arnold established, Rhys Williams developing. The one thing I never liked about Man City under Pep is he doesn't bring in enough British players into his squads.

[@mariorodriguez-alonso4864]

What a ball in by Barnes at 3:45.
