a great result in a near perfect season being a liverpool fan i couldnt understand why liverpool were so negative away from home in the league with only FIVE away wins and only FIFTEEN goals scored. We scored more than once in only one away game all season thats bottom of the table form and it was only our anfield form that won us the league i just thought it strange that a team chasing the treble could be jeckl and hyde home and away and i think we brought our away form into the cup final at wembley giving cup team united the chance to turn us over it will be very hard to have that chance again
Eddie ; I know what you mean by that and it was amazing with such brilliant players. I can remember however that we were superb in the second half at Old Trafford that season and desperately unlucky not to win ( it was 0-0) so it wasn’t every game. Later in the Paisley era I saw some magnificently positive football in away games.
@@steveblack610 that's just a guess, given that he (Ray Kennedy) is out of frame until well after the ball is played. You might be right, but there's no way of telling whether he moved backwards or not from this clip, or even whether he's level (which was offside then) if he didn't move.
Thanks for posting that Dave. I was at the game. Everton had a lot of pressure and Smith and Hughes were magnificent in centre defence ; always amazed me that two people who disliked each other so much could play together so well. Even as a Liverpool fan, have to say Everton very unlucky in first game and what a silly penalty to give away in second.
Two players who made the most of limited - but hardworking - talents. Always thought that Smith had a slightly camp running style - always pausing as if tired - after a couple of steps!
Smith hated Hughes because...well, of a dubious incident which occurred in the Liverpool dressing room prior to the 1972 Championship "decider" against Arsenal. I got to know Tommy as a columnist on the Koptalk website a few years ago - he was a nice bloke. When I met Emlyn Hughes I found him to be arrogant and self-centred.
@paulgraham6316 Tommy Smith had morals and was a decent honest person...Hughes talked himself into being club captain, Smith hated the two faced underhanded nature of Hughes, who was extremely arrogant!
@@DaveWallerLFC Interesting stat that Dave. I always thought he was a really good penalty taker at the startalthough I thought he tailed off later on . Do you know if I’m right in thinking that?
@Des Platt - the full stats are on this page, but it looks as though you're right. He scored 20 of his first 22 by the looks of it: www.lfchistory.net/Stats/PlayerPenaltiesAll
@@DaveWallerLFC Cheers Dave. Glad to know my impression was correct. I remember the sort of sad conversation men have discussing who we would want to have take a penalty for our life . For me it would’ve been a toss between Phil Neal in that early period or Alan Shearer. Just re Phil Neal, people talk about wingbacks as though they were a modern phenomenon but to me Phil Neil was a wingback; most of the defence was done by Jimmy Case or Sammy Lee.
Why was the first semi at goodison replay at Maine road Only other semi I remember at goody was 2-2 v the scum wash at the death The knee in 😂😂 was there for that not here though as I was 1
It's a bit hard to tell on highlights this brief, but is it that there were some Liverpool fans in with the Everton fans, and vice versa (which was normal then)? It seems like a larger proportion of people in the left hand end celebrate Neal's goal than the 2 goals in the second half. If you watch the goals from the first game, people celebrate Liverpool and Everton goals at the right hand end. It looks as thought the Kippax (opposite the cameras) is split, with Liverpool having the larger part. I assume Everton were allocated the stand where the camera were.
@@DaveWallerLFC No they weren't...the cameras are in the Main Stand that was split down the middle - the was a handful of Everton in our end....watch J Cases goal in 1st game and our 2nd and 3rd in this one - thousands of Liverpool in your end (Platt Lane). That's a fact. I was at both games. '
Slight push in the back on David Johnson? Or Clive Thomas just making sure of his place in Everton folklore after the disallowed goal in the first game!
I was reading some Everton fans' opinions about Clive Thomas before I watched this. To be fair, I think everyone loathed Clive Thomas, so he was probably doing something right?
@@DaveWallerLFC i agree it was a slight push but to be honest I have watched football for decades and a push or trip however slight then your asking for the ref to point to the spot .
well the Platt Lane was supposedly their end (seat wise)....but we had more in there than them. The myths about fan numbers in our city are hilarious....
Ray Kennedy was a ridiculously good player. All the more depressing that he wasn't even your best.
Bob Paisley once said that, of all the players he managed, Kennedy was the one more opposing clubs wanted to buy.
He bought him and switched his position too.
Shankly bought him (on the day he resigned) and Paisley changed his position after he struggled initially as a striker.
@@DaveWallerLFC I was close enough then 😉
The whole Liverpool team of that era fantastic dream team could do no wrong
Clive Thomas
Shocking ref.
Terry Macs goal in the first game was superb , when football was FOOTBALL !!

Eddie Power Have you seen this great review of that season? Liverpool 1976-77

Thanks Dave that season review was something else
The Everton goal at 2:00 was never offside
Yeah with a bit of pause/play it looks to me like Liverpool number 5 stood rigid with arm up would’ve played Dobson onside

That penalty decision was ridiculous.

That was never a penalty for Neal’s goal and McNaught played the ball for the free kick which led to Kennedy’s goal.
I watched the final in manny, in my aunties house. Me cousins were all Man U fans. It was heartbreaking 😩
Four nights later more than made up for it though!
@@carlh429 absolutely brother
Red Clive won that the for reds
Has there ever been a more clinical penalty-taker than Phil Neal? Easy to see why he was a centre forward in his early days at Northampton Town.
He missed 13 penalties for Liverpool out of 51, which isn't that impressive. Usually scored when it really mattered though.
@@DaveWallerLFC Fair comment. Hardly on a par with Ray Stewart or Matt Le Tissier.

Robbed in the first game 3 - 2 Everton
Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
That's Jimmy case that's number two and that's Wembley !!!
Why was the first semi at goodison replay at Maine road
Only other semi I remember at goody was 2-2 v the scum wash at the death
The knee in 😂😂 was there for that not here though as I was 1
Mind that replay was Maine road aswell
The two games were played at Main Road
Looks like Liverpool had both ends of the stadium.. how comes it wasn't a 50 / 50 split..

"Thousands of Liverpool fans in your end"? I am a Liverpool fan.
Whilst I've no doubt Liverpool would have won anyway, I just can't see why a penalty was given at 0:35.

@@chrisfallon9678 Fair enough 😁
should never have been a replay Everton won the first game 3-2 and where robbed .
Lol .. what crap . Best team won..
were there any everton fans in this stadium
well the Platt Lane was supposedly their end (seat wise)....but we had more in there than them. The myths about fan numbers in our city are hilarious....
