Memorable games against Utd at Anfield

[fred milne]

They showed the Liverpool v Utd game from 1992 when we denied them their first league title since the 60's on ESPN classic the other night and I thought it would worth seeing what other games stood out for people - both good and bad.

[Murphman]

Wembley 1977 broke my heart, I was full of flu and they committed daylight robbery. I think 1995 was as bad though.

 

The 4-1 was special,utter humiliation in front of their baying hordes, most had f*cked off when the whistle went.

I was talking more about this fixture at Anfield. The David James game in 1997 stands out as a low-point - worse than the 1996 Cup final for me.

Growing up as a kid in the 80s what I mainly remember is them having a ridiculously good record against us home and away, but we won the league anyway.

 

A couple of stand out matches (ignoring the obvious recent 4-1 at theirs...) under GH - the FA Cup defeat at their place after we'd led for so long, and the first Murphy 1-0 win, it felt like I had waited a HUGE amount of time for that result, and the city centre was a joy that evening

 

Oh... Anfield games. Yeah, David James.... and Paul Ince. That's a bitter-sweet memory, that one. It felt boss, and yet somehow a bit dirty.

Apologies Fred I misread the title. In which case the 2-0 when a young Steven Gerrard smashed one past Bartez from 30 yards and Robbie put Neville on his arrse on the penalty spot before doing the same stand out. They were a REALLY good side back then and we battered them.

The League Cup tie with the Molby goals

 

The 4-0 with the Beardsley hat-trick

 

The 3-3s in 88 and 94?

[Woodsyla]

Highs

Jaap Stam there's only one Jaap Stam there's only one Jaap Stam there's only one Jaap Stam

 

Repeat as Fergie's face turns purple.

 

That one and the Gerrard howitzer.

 

Lows

the one one were we (the crowd) had Rooney, he was going to get sent off, and then Dudek spilled a tame shot to ruin everything

The Forlan game

Yes - Whiteside coming on to rough up McMahon and Strachan smoking his cigar for the equaliser.

 

The 4-0 with the Beardsley hat-trick

That must be the last time Dalglish was our manager in this fixture.

[baz2107]

2-1 When Babel scored the winner was great, not beaten them at home in league for 6 or 7 years, coming into the game on a good run, went 1-0 down really early, it looked like it was going to be same again against the Manc, then got a flukey equaliser before battering them 2nd half and finally getting winner massive win that was (or should've been if we hadn't drawn so many games!!)

 

Also Gods free kick where Schmeichel didnt bother moving

 

Worst were the David James 97 and John O'Sheas 93rd minute winner

The 3-3 in 88

 

My first Man U game in the kop. Came out hating them, up to that point it had been Everton who were the enemy (wanted Man U to win in 85 Cup Final)

 

Nobody told me about the rivalry, I just felt it that day

It was a scorcher, kop was rammed. Game had everything. We were better than them, they got lucky with the draw

[Gunga Din]

the beardsley Hatrick, the 2-0 with Gerrard smashing one in from 30 yards and then Fowler getting the other and running past the mancs celebrating. was in the Anny Road that day by the partition. it was a good day out.

 

the JAR freekick, the first time we tried that move with him hitting the moving ball. it never worked again after that, despite us trying it in ever game after, but that day he almost burst the net

[Jarg Armani]

The one where Babel got the winner and we marched beforehand was my favourite. Glory Days.

[Cobs]

saw the 4-0 Bearsely hat-trick on ESPN the other day - at the final whistle Sealey kicked the ball into the Kop - presumably to stop Beardsley getting it - worrac*nt!

Agree with you totally. For me I enjoyed this far more than the Sky w***fest 3-3 draw in 1994. After we went behind early on we played United off the park - best performance I'd ever seen against them.

 

Still pisses me off that we let them off the hook that day.

He hated us, we hated him.

 

I remember McMahon doing the w*nker sign at him loads in a game against Luton, he wanted him out.

haha, remember meeting you (and your hipflask of vermouth) at the station early doors before the march. glorious sunny day. if i remember rightly as well they were on course for a hat-trick of "turn up for a nil-nil and nick all 3 points after the previous two years (O'Shea & Tevez). the O'Shea one was ridiculous, we had absolutely dominated that game it was unreal, and then Scholes got sent off for taking a wild swing at Xabi - ah, the loveable rogue that is Paul Scholes, terrible tackler (chuckle, chuckle). to come away from that game with nothing was absolute robbery, although the Tevez one the following year we were pretty poor in. same with Morientes' debut.

 

any game that Fowler scored in - the freekick that wrong-footed Schmeichel and the one when he had to forget the fact that Gary Neville had just fallen in front of him.

[smithdown]

hipflask of vermouth

 

I...

 

But...

 

Wtf.

[Jarg Armani]

It was all we had in the house. Stop blowing my cool Al.

 

Molby had a gourd of Tequila. Trumping everyone as ever.

vermouth is cool! i remember very little else from that day (or the match) other than cutting the days drinking short at about 8pm to catch the train back to Buckley for a dentisht appointment the following day that didn't exist.

At bit like how i served us Bucks Fizz before Man U away this year

You're an outlaw once again

[Cam]

I recall coming out of a 2-0 win (I think) and absolutely fuming. It may have been a game with the Gerrard or Riise screamers. But were we brilliant and battered them, they were ful of injuries & very weak. It was gutted that we'd missed our chance to stick 5 or 6 past them.

[Benzo-13]

The 1995 one were Redknapp scored a cracker with his left isn't mentioned, so I'll mention that.

We hadn't beaten them in ages up to that game and for a while it seemed the albatross had lifted.
