In a transitional season where an ageing Liverpool have often been accused of losing both their intensity and identity, for once Kopites didn’t mind a slower-paced game in Anfield’s most recent match.
Hosting the sixth official LFC Foundation Legends Charity Match, Reds stars from yesteryear rolled back the years as goals from Steven Gerrard and Mark Gonzalez earned a 2-0 win over Celtic.
While some of the players on show are in their late thirties and only recent retirees, others last represented Liverpool over 20 years ago. While it was a competitive encounter with the Hoops, with lots of crunching tackles flying in, a Legends charity game obviously lacks the elite edge we became accustomed to from such players during their own playing days.
