Liverpool's greatest ever 11

[Murphman]

I was thinking about the posts in the Footie Forum, by and large we agree about 7 or 8 players are a 'given, the likes of Rushie, Kenny, Torres, Gerrard, Hansen, Souness, probably Barnes and Emlyn. So in Murph's magic world where everybody is 25 years old at the same time I've created an all stars X1. let's be honest, nobody would stand a chance against our first pick, not the mancs, not Arsenal not anybody. Biased, moi? Nope I mean it, so, picking just ONE player from each club, their 'greatest ever player' I've put this side together which might just get a draw on a good day with a bent ref and Mr Ferguson in his ear. I've only included people I've seen so basically since the world cup in 1966.

 

 

Banks Leicester City

 

Reaney Leeds

Moore West Ham

McGrath Man Utd.

Pearce Notts Forest

 

Bell Man City

Lampard Chelsea (F*cking hurt that did)

Ball Everton

Brady Arsenal

 

Shearer Newcastle

Greaves Spurs

 

It's a lot harder than it looks.

why would you have mcgrath from united? when you could have best?

[Gunga Din]

Best would have been a rubbish Centre half

 

no John Charles in that team either

 

silly Murph

 

and Peter Schmeichel was better than Banks. as was Jennings

You could have gone with his father to ease the pain.

[Stevie H]

i was going to suggest john charles, yeah. and you could have him from hereford meaning you could use a leeds player like bremner or giles if you so wished.

 

silly murph.

I reckon that's a more interesting debate: all-time Liverpool XI v all-time Utd XI.

 

We'd need one of our resident Mancs to contribute the all-time Utd XI team.

you shouldn't encourage them

Well pick a f*cking team then smartyf*cking pants. It's easy to stand on the touchline booing, you can only have ONE player per team, so if you have Charles you lose Reaney and you need a right back, if you pick Schmeichel you lose mcGrath, if you pick Best you lose McGrath and you lose Shearer or Greaves. It's not that easy

 

Silly Wayne.

That's f*cking cheating, you may as well pick Keegan and say he played for sc***horpe.

listen c***ychops, John Charles gets in that team.as does George Best. stick Jennings in from his Watford days. Charles played for Hereford too

[Boca]

You could put McGrath in from Villa as well.

[Stevie H]

alright without much forethought, and assuming the players at their best ever:

 

southall (everton)

 

cohen(fulham)

charles (hereford)

moore (west ham)

blanchflower (spurs)

 

best (man united)

keane (notts forest)

haynes (wealdstone)

deyna (man city)

 

gullit (chelsea)

henry (arsenal)

[Duggers]

Southall - Everton

 

Cohen - Fulham

Hunter - Leeds

Moore - West Ham

Pearce - Forest

 

Gascoigne - Spurs

Mackay - Derby

Giggs - Mancs

 

Bergkamp - Arsenal

Zola - Chelsea

Shearer - Newcastle

Always thought Mcgrath's ability was over rated because of his problems. Like Spurs fans claiming King would be the best CB in the world were it not for his injuries.

I thought McGrath was one of the best CB's in the world even with all his problems.

[muleskinner]

I thnk he is still under rated by a lot of people. He was a magnificent footballer in spite of his injuries and other issues. A clean bill of health and he would probably have been one of the best ever centre halves.

[Boca]

king isn't fit (yeah I know) to lace his boots.

[dorgie]

Gary Neville (Man Utd)

Tony Gale (West Ham)

Sam Allardyce (Bolton)

Eamon Dunphy (Milwall)

 

Jamie Redknapp (Tottenham)

Paul Merson (Aston Villa)

Matt Le Tissier (Southampton)

 

Stan Collymore (Nottm Forest)

Andy Gray (Everton)

Charlie Nicholas(Arsenal)

 

Struggling for a goalkeeper, but would love any Liverpool XI to t*** that lot.

[Boca]

Gary Neville (Man Utd)

Tony Gale (West Ham)

Sam Allardyce (Bolton)

Eamon Dunphy (Milwall)

Thierry Henry?

Schmeichel - Man City?

[Snookie]

king isn't fit (yeah I know) to lace his boots.

 

Or his drinks....

 

Wish Kenny had been successful in signing him (he really wanted to play for Liverpool and his son was on the books for a while). He's the only player in the last 25 years who would have being a better partner for Hansen than Lawerenson.

[Snookie]

Gary Neville (Man Utd)

Tony Gale (West Ham)

Sam Allardyce (Bolton)

Eamon Dunphy (Milwall)

 

Jamie Redknapp (Tottenham)

Paul Merson (Aston Villa)

Matt Le Tissier (Southampton)

 

Stan Collymore (Nottm Forest)

Andy Gray (Everton)

Charlie Nicholas(Arsenal)

Congrats that's a great c***'s eleven. I'd substitute Lucas Neill for Gale, and Dave Beasant for Le Tisser, Terry Hurlock for Dunphy and Robbie Savage to make it 11.

[Murphman]

listen c***ychops, John Charles gets in that team.as does George Best. stick Jennings in from his Watford days. Charles played for Hereford too

 

 

Dear f*ckface, my thread, my rules. if you don't like it f*ck off and suck a large one.

 

Cheers.

southall (everton)

haynes (wealdstone)

deyna (man city)

 

gullit (chelsea)

henry (arsenal)

 

Danny Blanchflower was a midfielder not a left back. Cohen was the worst player in 1966, about as good as Phil Neville..

 

Steve Heighway played for Skem, case for Prescott Cables, you just carry on....
