That side should have won everything including the european cup after we should have won the league . Would be good to see both sides today go toe to toe obviously im bias and we would win. |  |

What the new generation will never understand is that the UEFA Cup was a harder trophy to win than The European cup at the time.
Back then only the champions entered the European Cup but it wasn’t common for teams to win their league twice in a row - so if you were in The UEFA Cup it is likely you would be facing the future champions of the nation.
Ipswich were desperately unlucky to compete against an amazing Liverpool side, that said, and I will say this honestly and without bias, in our pomp I have never to this day seen a side like our side - except maybe that bloody Liverpool team. |  |

The difference between us and Liverpool at the time was squad size.
If we lost Brazil or Mariner to injury our back up was Mich d'Avray or Robin Turner. They had David Fairclough and David Johnson to come in for Dalglish or Ian Rush. |  |

Presumably nobody was moaning about lack of investment at the time, or were they? Strikes me that we’d have been even more successful if we’d have acquired even 2 more players. | | | |

The Leeds side of 1973/74 was also on that level in my opinion.
You are right about the UEFA Cup then having far stronger teams than the current Europa League and you did have to work harder to win that than win the European Cup.
I think our first X1 of 1980/81 was as good as anything that I have seen in English football but the lack of any depth below that team was a killer.
Over the period that SBR had us as one of the top teams in the Country Liverpool always had a far better second string to call upon if and when necessary. |  | | |

There was no need in theory to have a big squad because there was only one sub allowable in domestic football but there was a real chasm between the abilities of our first team and those that needed to come in if and when we had injuries.
A couple more players of similar abilities to those in the team would have been nice but "squads" as such did not exist, just first team and reserves and it was the strength of our reserves compared with some other teams that damaged us. | | | |
