Evans had Jones and Thomas too. Both great players and the tail end of Rush.

Yep, that was the issue with Roy's teams.
We could never match it with a Solid back 5 and a DCM. Ince was supposed to be that.
My enduring image of David James is him coming to intercept an incoming corner, rising majestically into the air ... with his fucking arms by his side!
Coventry at Anfield? that game then followed up with United at home. same thing
The attacking play under Evans, particularly when Fowler and Collymore briefly hit their stride as a duo, was a joy to watch.
It's a shame the joint manager thing with Houllier was a sham (apparently it was really about getting Roy a better pension) because if we could have found a balance between Houllier's pragmatism and Roy's attacking play then we could really have been in business.

Think you’re perhaps mis-remembering. Scales, Bjornebye and Babb were all above average but far from top drawer. Wright was at the latter end of his career. Backs ups were ‘meh’
James was ‘potential’ at that stage of his career and for us made mistakes. He wouldn’t find any consistency until 6 or 7 years later, and was the best of an underwhelming bunch to succeed Seaman who had been the benchmark for English goalkeepers for a good decade into the early 00’s.
The defence and GK up until Houllier got his hands on the squad, was always our weak point of the Evan’s era.
Solid my hole.
...and then we went and got Kvarme to make it even worse. Also, aren't we forgetting that hairy fatty, what's his name...
The only thing solid or enjoyable during the Evans years were the attackers.
The first thing Houllier did was to get two CB's and a DM and we suddenly looked a whole lot better.
The hairy fatty was signed by Souness, as was Julian Dicks. But yeah, Roy could've binned him off sooner.
I'm assuming you've chosen to forget his name, which is a good plan.
He could've been decent if he'd been remotely arsed.
We could have won the league inspite of him and have been 2 or 3 target players better off
I could have looked his name up, but I didn't bother.
I purposely left off Ruddock the 50p passing dickhead.
He can't have been the only one doing that, otherwise it's really not much of a game.
I’ve no doubt they all were but the prick thinks it’s a funny story to tell. Unprofessional dick.
