Well for LFC there are two clear favorites. Dalglish and gerrard. Its that simple For utd I would still think best/ charlotn should be their greatest despite prob every other position being current era and with players like ronaldo pushing both I find if funny hwo the best paid player for utd ever and now 10 year vet is nowhere near any all time xi and prob never would enter anyones head.
I probably shouldn't have included Utd - probably should have gone all time prem 11 vs all time pre prem 11 of LFC. FeCk me can you imagine Souness vs Suarez!
No you would be ignoring so many great legends by limiting it to prem players only. Trouble is you could probably pick 3 or 4 teams.
No i meant both teams being LFC, MITO has picked a predominantly, if not all prem 11 so you could have his 11 against say Clemence Nicol Yeats Hansen Kennedy Callahan Wark Souness Highway/Sheedy Rush Dalglish
I expected to see Duncan Edwards name a few times in this thread for Man Utd but this is the first mention...
------Schmeichel Neville-Stam-Vidic-Irwin Charlton-Keane-Scholes ---Ronaldo-Cantona ---------Law Subs: VDS, Evra, Rio, Best, Robson, Giggs, Rooney Xmas tree fudge ahoy!
Ok So non- prem would be Clemence Neal. Hanson. Thompson. A. Kennedy Callaghan . Souness. Hughes. Barnes Rush. Dalglish V Reina Finnan. Henchoz. Hyppia. Riise Mascherano Gerrard. Alonso. Berger Torres. Suarez
Don't think you can judge a player based on a few DVDs. Obviously I know about the greats but I couldn't tell you if Molby was better than Alonso as I've never seen him over a whole season. Obviously it's not the best as it misses greats but it's the best I've seen which is all I can really go on.
You have no idea how much it hurts saying this but that is an awesome team, personally i always liked Hughes, but that team is scary
I wish we had gotten Torres and Suarez together, it was so close to happening as I think we would have gone for Suarez with or without selling Torres, it was Carroll in my world we would not have got
Part of me doesn't like watching the highlights of the 70s-80s sides on LFCTV because I doubt I'll ever see a Liverpool side as good... Hard for a younger (21) fan to imagine such a strong side.
****ing hell. You look a site older than that in your photo. Tough life? Imagine having seen the greatness of those sides and then the subsequent decline into utd hell
Agreed. Got a cold shiver down my spine just typing it. And I had to leave out Best!! Although on second thought I might go with: ------Schmeichel Neville-Stam-Vidic-Irwin Charlton-Keane-Scholes -Ronaldo-------Best ----------Law Subs: VDS, Evra, Rio, Robson, Giggs, Cantona, Rooney Just to see Ronaldo and Best ****ing teams up like there's no tomorrow!
Molby and alonso were very similar players for the most part. Neither terrifically mobile but fantastic passers of the ball. I think I would have to go for big Jan as he did it for a number of seasons. He could play around the centre circle and absolutely control a game.as I say he didn't move around a lot but scored a number of crucial goals so for me he just has the edge. Tough choice though. Not in my all time Liverpool XI though.
My playing style is very similar to that of Molby's minus the technical genius and the amazing array of passes
well if you need a time machine you are out of luck my old mucker.... Molby... alonso... different styles IMO. For me I'd say alonso prob missed too much football due to thuggish fat frank breaking his ankle on mourinho's orders....
I think souness would win myself. In all the time keane was there only really vieira was a direct square up. I think you can call it hard but in the 80s when even robson was abotu and of coruse back to the 60s etc hard really was hard. Souness would deck keane all day long.... no question
