Back in the Day... Vol. 1

[Judge Jules]

Dammit, gene, after reading that I spluttered a cappuccino all over my wireless receiver as I was resetting the latter. 😀

 

[Best Believe It]

I loved Momo. Part of me still does.

Such a memorable game that one:

Reina getting beat at the near post - how we were to get used to that
Walcott's run
Torres at his absolute peak pulling a goal out of his arse
Adebayor's fucking dance
Sami's bullet header

Back in the day when we were a side.

Hyppia's header was one of the best I've seen the fact there was someone on the line made it better. What a legend he was.

 

[Judge Jules]

It summed the big man up - not just size and power, but great intelligence to go with it. I really hope we can fetch him back to LFC in some capacity one day.

Alright I've got an idea for a thread series over summer (because it's shite and full of boring transfer bollox) whereby we look back on great LFC games that may have sparked some controversy. The point being that we - with the benefit of hindsight - should be able to show a bit more objectivity than at the time.

First up, is the 2nd leg of the Champions League 1/4 final in 2008 at home to Arsenal.

(Apologies for the poor-ish video here btw.)

Aside from reliving the game, was Babel's 'dive' a penalty?

At the time I thought no, and I still think no. You?

It was then and still is now.

Garcia's header against Anderlecht (I think it was them) was pretty amazing too.

Yup it was. I'd say one of the best headers I've ever seen.

Here is said photo - taken before the game! (classic OOTer 😛)

I know that seat well. Good old sunny, sheiky and spion. Top lads.

That was a fucking cracker that game.... I remember going truly fucking mental when Hyypia scored with a swerving(!!??) header
and then needing hospitalisation when Torres scored.... what a game....

I also remember thinking Babel dived but having watched it just there it looks a cast iron peno to me now...

 

[Molbystwin]

Forgive me I know it's not in keeping with the thread but sticking goals past Arsenal mad me think of this.....not relevent but.... it will be just 23 seconds of your life ....

 

[Brizzle]

That is my all time favourite Liverpool goal. I still remember my celebrations watching this!

That was a damn good header, I loved Luis Garcia he was one of those that would just pop up with something special every time. His goal against Juventus and of course THAT goal vs the chavs will go down in my book as his best ever for us.

Absolutely I'd have back around the club in a heartbeat, coach/assistant manager maybe.

 

[Judge Jules]

Yep, with a view to him taking over from Rodgers when the time comes.

 

[Molbystwin]

That is my all time favourite Liverpool goal. I still remember my celebrations watching this!

Probably because it was such a tight turgid game a super late winner from an unlikely player.... I went fucking booloo and i still love watching it now.

That and th efact that it was a fucking screamer among screamers....

That's one of the best-ever game-ending game-winning goals I've ever seen. That, and McAllister's long range free kick against Everton. Amazing goals both of them.
