sammynb 3937 Posted March 5, 2024 Share Posted March 5, 2024 We've not had the greatest luck with mercurial French CBs though. Far more success from the surrounding countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 19386 Posted March 5, 2024 Share Posted March 5, 2024 (edited) I think a lot of transfers both in and out under Dalglish and Souness are deeply fuckin suspicious.

Howmanheyman 37289 Posted March 5, 2024 Share Posted March 5, 2024 Also when we got no luck the doubts crept in, we didn't handle adversity well. Man U at home was a real blow but we had loads of games left and a lead, Blackburn away and Liverpool away, especially Blackburn when taking the lead with about ten or something minutes to go, to lose 2-1? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4655 Posted March 5, 2024 Share Posted March 5, 2024 There was also a 2-0 loss to West Ham where we battered them and Tino missed a hatful that cost us. I don't like picking out single moments or people as it was a combination of everything really but in hindsight I think overall it was the experience of knowing how to win it that did it. As Keegan said if we'd won that one, we'd probably have won more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 37341 Posted March 5, 2024 Share Posted March 5, 2024 I’ll give you a two word summary as to why we didn’t win anything in KK’s first spell as manager here: away form. That applies to cups as well. But it was especially the case in 95/96 when I think we lost at home to Man Utd and drew the final hone game v Spurs. But won every other league game at SJP? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
