Great player in a great Liverpool era😍

[jamesburke]

He was a contender for best in the world in 88

Nice to see it's been a long standing issue of manager's being tactically inept for England for a long time of not getting the best out of players or using them properly

[buxycat]

If you've not seen it, look up the goal John Barnes scored against Brazil.

[petesmart]

Still scored a amazing goal against brasil

[tombutler]

All true and even though Sir Bobby was a great England manager he didn’t play expansive football Taylor even less so you can see why we didn’t get the best out of our ‘flair’ players!

Glen Hoddle, John Barnes, Chris Waddle. We had some magicians on the ball in the 80s.
Then Gazza showed up and perfected it.

RIP to both Venables and Bobby but if Venables had got the job in the mid 1980s he would ahve played Barnes and Waddle off the flanks as two inverted forwards...nearer to midfield and better able to interlink with Robbo and the front man Lineker, a wasted opportunity..

[mohsdef]

Remember he came on against Argentina 1986 world cup, set up Lineker's goal and then almost set up a second, if it werent for an Argentina defender, doing one of the best pieces of defending ive seen in my life, which stopped Lineker getting there.

Weird how an England era with Beardsley, Waddle, Hoddle, Gascoigne and Barnes managed to not be creative

[waynemarshall]

Liverpool is another country itself. No Liverpudlians or proper into England

[highbury]

Also Robbie Fowler and Ray Kennedy played better for Liverpool than England. Ray only got 17 caps and Robbie 28.

[robinpillay]

Lots of players played better for their clubs than their country. It's not just England it's every country.

Only playing who went into Brazil nest and destroyed their entire team
