mums are great.
i went round to see mine today and she came out with this book reviewing the 1966-67 season.
seeing as though i am kind i thought i would share some of it with you.
it appears little changes in football.
'This was the season when Liverpool set out to achieve everything and won nothing. They were beaten unceremoniously in the European Cup, tumbled out of the FA Cup by arch rivals Everton and saw the old enemy Manchester United walk off with the Football League after sealing the run-in with a point-stealing game at Anfield.
A season of uncertainty, of a slip from the pedestal on to which they had hauled themselves, a season of misses and no hits and disappointed supporters.
Gifted with hindsight, we can say now that the signs of a Liverpool slump were there early in the season, when they opened casually and indifferently and lagged around the middle of the table for too long. The critics opened up with the big guns. Liverpool should buy, Shankly must go into the market. Roger Hunt is tired, there isn't a centre forward replacement that can score goals. Ron Yeats is not as sure as he was, the defence is weakening.
But any manager must be reluctant to change a team that has proved itself...especially when the replacements are not readily available and when they are, the prices soar just because you are Liverpool'.
