Thirteen days later, on Saturday the 26th of December, Liverpool lost 3.1 to fourth placed Manchester City at Anfield. Asa Hartford gave City a half time lead. A penalty from Kevin Bond and a late Kevin Reeves goal sealed the points for City. Ronnie Whelan had pulled one back for Liverpool. It was after this league defeat that Bob Paisley replaced Phil Thompson with Graeme Souness as captain. He believed the added responsibility was affecting Thompson's performance on the field. The result left Liverpool in 12th place in the League table on 24 points after 17 matches; 9 points behind league leaders Swansea City who had played 2 matches more. |
