- Highlights from Match of the Day of Liverpool's match against Watford at Anfield in December 1982, including (in my view) one of the best goals in Liverpool's history, and with John Barnes making his first appearance at Anfield. Thanks to Simon Tyce for this video.
For me this is the greatest goal of all time. Just magical.
If any one goal could be said to epitomise Liverpool in the 80s, it might be Dalglish’s turn and pass and Rush’s finish against Watford.
Wilf Rostrum was a funny name to this eight/nine-old-year old. And Nigel O'Callaghan for Watford cos Nigel and O'Callaghan always seemed such an odd combination of names to this Scouse kid with a penchant for laughing at daft sounding names🤣🤣🤣😇😇😇
No doubt about it,this Liverpool team is the greatest side I have ever seen in English football. Reliable and ruthless and supreme in every position. The complete package. The unrelenting passing and movement is awe inspiring. Amen.
Everton team 85 was better

Phil Thompson's injury not only cost him his England career after 42 caps but ultimately ended his career at Liverpool - he would play only 9 more games before being condemned to the reserves until 1985, when he went to Sheffield United.
Dave Waller, you're a legend. Bringing back so many great memories
What a goal and assist

WALLER LEGEND DAVE IS !!!!! YNWA MATE
I can't believe I found this! I was 10 years old when I went to Anfield for the very first time - my dad actually took me to this game. Our no.7 was truly King Kenny on this day; and If I remember correctly, there was a giant mock up tin of Crown Paint in the centre circle before the game. Does anyone else remember that?
The penalty wasn't that special .
Mr Barnes passed his audition 🗿 🎭 🎬 # Flying 🌈
Later Elton John got shot of Watford. ( money 💰 maybe ? )
That Dalglish turn away from Ian Bolton the video doesn't do it justice..that was my first trip to Anfield and kennys set up for Rush will live in my memory for ever ..thought in the second half Watford were there better team ...and John Barnes what a player YNWA ❤
Our league will regain its passion once another league becomes more financially lucrative, like Italy before.
I’d love it to get back to the British fighting spirit, backs against the wall spirit… think we did quite well in European Club Football, late 70s to mid 80s.
I know the youngsters will say that foreigners in our club football have educated out youngsters, hence why we finished well in last WC and almost won EC but…yes as an international nation poor in the 70s, we were strong and I believe if Robson had been fit… won 86 or 90 world cup
Bob Paisley's later sides were sometimes accused of being boring and machine-like (usually by rival fans who had sour grapes in their mouths). But I challenge those who say that to watch games like this one. The creativity of Souness, Dalglish, Whelan, Neal and Johnston was as artistic as any to be found in Europe in the early-80s, as evidenced by some of the passing moves on display here. In the first half in particular, they were as exciting as you could hope for. The pass from Dalglish to Rush for the opener has become iconic as an example of their partnership at its best, while the moves at 10:25 and at 11:05 were just football magic.
Interesting to see John Barnes with that huge collar and baggy white shirt looking a bit like a Fijian rugby star!
Agreed. The move that lead to the penalty v Tottenham that was posted also on this channel this week. No one played one touch like that at that time. And not at that pace.
The City 5-2 on Boxing Day i don't think cameras were there. Kenny scored a hat trick and was even better. No cameras so you have to believe me ha ha. Should have been ten. No trains running and City I swear brought 50.
It was Paisley’s earlier sides that were often considered machine-like, especially away from home. I believe that changed after Dalglish arrived, particularly from the 1978-79 season onwards. National press reports from that season provide good evidence of the shift in style. (For what it’s worth, the 1978-79 team still gets my vote as our best ever side, just ahead of the teams from 1987-88, 1982-3 and 2019-20. I wasn’t around for the mid-60s team which I know some would rate very very highly.)
1966 team was great in a tougher league.
4 or 5 teams could have won it and world cup winners everywhere.
Not disagreeing with your teams but what is considered the best?
The 1979 lost to Forest in Europe 1st round and only won the 1 trophy.
The 1988 team same and bottled it in the Cup Final.
For sheer willpower and number of games played, injuries the 1984 team won 3 trophies - won the league v a good Manc side, beat the up and coming Everton in the Milk Cup and beat a very good Roma in their place.
Some tough journeys in Europe again dirty teams.
More bottle perhaps than any other team
@@randyborstol2491 All your points are well made. I suppose it is striking that of all my four favourite sides (or seasons), only one of them won a cup to go alongside the league title. Greatness is such a subjective measure, isn’t it, where reasonable people can disagree. I am not inclined to make it simply a numbers game: I will never believe that the Double winning side, for example, was superior to any of the sides that I mentioned. But by definition it was more successful than three of them. On the other hand, there is clearly a huge amount to be said for any side that wins 3 trophies in a season. Sheer doggedness is no doubt a great virtue. But remember what Graeme Souness said on the day Liverpool clinched the title in 1984… “by our own standards we didn’t deserve to win the league this year”. (Of course he was able to add, with relish I should think, that by everybody else’s standards, they did. Happy days they were!)
