Notes

  • - Liverpool had picked up only 4 out of the last 12 points and Bob Paisley was fed up: "They have got to be professional not playboys or fly-by-nights. I am talking about the attitude. The players seem to be saying sorry and think it's over and done with. They will have to change their attitude."
