Felt sorry for Kenny when he left. could tell he never got over the trauma of Hillsborough and the aftermath of that disaster. Well done Liverpool on Championship number 19 when they do wrap it up think this current team could go on to achieve further success
it was clear by this time that Liverpool were on the decline...and dalglish knew it... hillsborough too took its toll on him, and the club as a whole...That's why he left
1:54:25 "I'm quite sure that Liverpool have made a very good appointment in Graeme Souness. Anyone who thinks this is the beginning of the end for Liverpool should think again." The commentator turned out wrong on both accounts.
And the strange decision not to play and then sell Peter Beardsley who was still smashing in lots of PL goals for Newcastle well into his 30s was a massive error
The last season of that era of dominance for Liverpool. They probably would have won the league in 90/91 if it wasn’t for injuries. Defensive lapses didn’t help either. You could see how much they missed Hansen.
Kenny resigned because of the all the pain of Hillsboro. That tragedy hurt our club so much in those years. If Kenny had stayed at Anfield for longer, I'm sure we would have won more titles.
@hughesyplays Thanks for your Alan Davies levels of sensitivity here. Also you're re-writing history. The West Ham game was on the Tuesday night after the FA Cup Final, with the Arsenal game on the Friday, not a few weeks later. Arsenal had a good team, but it seems common sense to suggste the fixture pile up and emotional strain on Liverpool players played some part in the final game. Not to mention that this was only the last game of the season because ITV picked it like that when LIverpool's fixtures were rearranged after Hillsborough. If that game had been on 23 April as scheduled I don't think Arsenal would have won 2-0.
In all fairness…Hillsborough and the last minute title win by arsenal at anfield 19 months earlier had crippled the club…Liverpool by this time were a spent force…Daliglish could also see that….And those were some of the reasons is why he left
Do you have a direct quote from Dalglish saying these are the reasons he left, or is it just your assumption? I'm pretty sure I've never heard him say Liverpool were a spent force.

@@21macca21 agreed. I’m not a Liverpool fan but even I could see that he was making bad decisions. You look at the game at Leeds for example. That summed Liverpool up that season.
Am not a Liverpool fan but huge respect to Dave Waller for making so much footage available for us.

Nice one for the upload. Still can't believe i watched this season over 30 years ago.
Looking back im amazed we let beardsley leave
Christ the defending in the 4-4. Grobelaar throwing a few in too.
The day we lost to Forest, I remember it like yesterday, when our hopes of winning were done and dusted.
The game at Elland Road summed up Liverpool that season.
Spot on! Majestic beyond words in the first half, shambles in the second

@@nikreece6295 spot on. He needed that break of a few months and the change of scenery by going to Blackburn.

Merci pour cet excellent reportage
I was at the game at Derby where Liverpool won 7-1. Liverpool tore us to shreds.
John Barnes goal against Aston Villa...!!!! One of his best...!!!!
We looked unstoppable until the Arsenal game at Highbury then it all unravelled and fell apart
Amazing how keepers never noticed 99% of Barnes' pens went to their right.
Great player, thick goalies.
Failing to adequately replace Lawrenson & Hansen exposed underlying problems in the team. Recruitment was mostly woeful from '91 - 99.
And the strange decision not to play and then sell Peter Beardsley who was still smashing in lots of PL goals for Newcastle well into his 30s was a massive error
Between Bruce n Glen they both cost us that season
With the emergence of real pacy strikers our defence couldn’t keep up

Aged well 😂😂😂
losing mcmahon and whelan to injury cost us too....
@@nikreece6295 big time. Speedie was an unexpected bonus for you that season though....
Liverpool played some great football this season l remember well. Looking back, playing first team in League Cup second round.
Kenny resigned because of the all the pain of Hillsboro.

Bollocks you beat everton in the fa cup final n tanked West ham 5 0 a few weeks later. You wasn't good enough to stop arsenal

Had this on VHS. Love the bed music - The Farm / Groovy Train. Still play it lots. Great tune. Instantly think of this season.
born that year....kinda crazy everyone had to wait 30 more years for a title.
not replacing lawernson and hansen earlier cost us two doubles
John Barnes was surly the greatest player in the world at that time along with Rudd Guillit both world class performers. Amen
Seaso started so well
Hysen was dreadful wasn't he, looking back?
Was a fine player years before that, but was probably past his best when they signed him.
Remember Torben Piechnik?
Grobbelaar Nicol Ablett Staunton Burrows Venison Gillespie Hysen Molby Houghton McMahon Whelan Beardsley Barnes Rush. Still a good team.
Probably just lacking another top quality centre back with Hansen out injured and then retiring. As you say, the rest were good.

You said that he could see that (spent force) and these were some of the reasons he left. I'm just asking how you know that.

How do you know what he knew and what he wanted?
The forest game at home my first ever game
Souness was poison for Liverpool. Sold quality and replaced it with absolute shite. Thought he was a big deal because he dominated a two team league.
4 different cluds won the championship in England and Scotland between 1980 & 1991 wasnt a 2 team league back then, Souness was shite thou
I know, Beardsley getting replaced with Saunders for example🤮
Wanted to change things too quickly.
Souness set us back to the Stone Age
Alls he needed to do was replace a slow n weak defence the attack was still firing bigtime
