That run put us in an FA cup semi final and included league wins over United, Villa and Arsenal that put us in our first title challenge since the Dalglish era ended. We more or less collapsed from there though, finishing the season picking up only 12 of the last 24 points on offer and culminating in a white suited embarrassment in the FA cup final.

Who is the guy between Scales and James? He looks like something out of a horror movie?
LOLing and even Harkness on his crutches getting in on the action
“we’ll always have these white suits and the memory of that 20 game domestic unbeaten streak”

I meant Scales and Collymore
Mark… erm, trying not to look it up…
Edit:
It was killing me so I checked, last name Kennedy.

David James was the guilty party that suggested we wear them…

Calamity James was a dreadful signing. Not the only one of course but really terrible for the club culture - cf Seaman or Schmeichel.

Can you dig out the previous 20 game run?
It’s easily available on LFC History.
Just search by season.

I meant the one prior to that.
That’s the first time we’ve been unbeaten for 20 games but there must be one before that potentially.

The '87-'88 team were pretty formidable. Not sure about the league cup situation though.

Yeah our last title winning season was interrupted I assume by cups.
Slot speaks well there. He’s not having a go at Trent. He is praising the ambition. But then he is wisely also adding a reminder about how we must have a team ethic, as that’s the only way to win anything. Whatever Trent achieves is because of the other great players around him in the team.
Is right Arne.
I don’t want to pile on Trent too much, but I have not appreciated the way he has been talking lately, about personal ambition and recognition. Whisper it quietly, but to me it does not seem like the Liverpool way.

Arne Slot – tactical innovator. Bringing you the false centre-back.

Meh. Maguire’s been one for years.

Lol I had just put the below in Man U/Amorim posts
"Amorim’s fixation on 3 4 3 formation highlights that he is tactically inflexible and poses the opinion that teams/coaches will develop strategies to take advantage of flaws in the system.
That is what I am loving regarding Arne, he tweaks our so called 4 2 1 3 formation all the time, whether through changing the position of the midfielders vertically, the full backs moving inside to offer an extra body in midfield or in the last couple of games getting Endo/Grav to play a hybrid centre back/no 6 role, the man and his staff are geniuses"
