I thought he would make the difference. I was waxing lyrical about him during the Porto game at OT. The last minute...... |

Actually thought Barthez would be a good signing for us, despite the fact he always had a clanger in him. He seemed like a big character when playing for France and also seemed to make a lot of saves.
He made hardly any saves for us - any decent shot was beyond his reach - and seemed to save his biggest £#%&!-ups for the biggest games. A clown keeper if ever there was one. |

Speaking of lost games. Was hopping youtube a few days back and came across this. Has to be the only United Liverpool game of the premier league era i have absolute zero recollection of happening.
United fans booing Barnes... I also don't ever recall the goals from this match ever been showing in united Liverpool build ups over the years. Assuming it wasn't televised. |

Do people think we would have beaten Madrid in the final in 2002 had we reached the final?
Bar RVN, the team seemed to completely bottle it against them in the away leg a year later. Until 2007 we never seemed to be good enough in the latter stages, with ties coming down to away goals or referee decisions (although the Porto call was terrible). Suspect mentality perhaps. After 99, knocked out by Madrid, Bayern, Leverkusen, Madrid, Porto, Milan. Weak/under protected defences also an explanation as well perhaps. Also, apart from Giggs we had no one who could take on players. |

Barcelona was arguably our best win, and they were well out of sorts that year, which led to Rijkaard leaving. During that period ourselves and Barca were the two standout sides. Madrid were in a spell where they barely got beyond the quarters and the rest of the opposition was pretty mediocre. Bayern very much in transitional phase, though they still knocked us out the one time we played them. |

The forward six contains 2 strikers and 3 wingers. Brilliant. |
