For me John Barnes was the greatest player I ever saw in a Liverpool shirt and you know you are great when Kobe Bryant said John Barnes was his first sporting hero as a kid in Italy. He was KDB mixed with CR7 and the only reason he isn’t remembered more is because in 1991 he got a bad injury robbed him of his speed and he was only half the player after that and in 1992 the Premier League was created and coverage of soccer exploded around the world most people missed John Barnes at his peak, because Liverpool were also banned from Europe during his peak years.
Totally agree. Still my all-time favorite player. In my humble opinion from 1987 to 1990 Barnes was the best player in the world. Sadly never got to show it on the European stage and wasn't properly trusted by England managers who played to a much more rigid system than Liverpool. Even in 1986 before his move to Liverpool he was the equal of Maradona but was only given 10 minutes on the pitch to show what he could do in the world Cup. Had Barnes started the quarter final against Argentina, or even come on at halftime England would have won the match and possibly the whole tournament.

Having watched Liverpool since 1965 I would have to agree with this great selection. Honourable mentions must include Roger Hunt and Kevin Keegan - great players and won lots of trophies. I would put Daglish ahead of Gerrard for Liverpool’s greatest player although if Suarez had won that title, had stayed a few more years and hadn’t got involved in unsavoury incidents he would have to be in that team and also be in the running for greatest player.
Kenney wouldn't have influenced single handed the team success like Gerrard did had he played with the lack of quality Gerrard had to, that puts Gerrard top. I agree with your analysis of Saurez though, he was, along with CR7 in his respective best year at Utd the best player ever to play since George Best who is of course better than all the rest.
I started watching Liverpool because I wanted to see Steven Gerrard play. I was just a fan of Stevie G at first but quickly it grew into full love for the club.
Liverpool fan from Bremen here. Liverpool FC was always my second love besides Werder, ever since i first saw them in the early 2000s with Hamann, Gerrard, Owen, Babbel, Hyypiä, etc. Stevie G will always be my favorite English player of all time. It's a shame he never won a league title with Liverpool.
Asks Jamie Carragher his all time Liverpool XI, a difficult and complex question. Harasses him when he isn't done after 12 seconds. Great work, you can see why this channel is challenging Sky and BT
He's 100% right about Barnes between 1987-91 there wasn’t a better player in Britain. Also I have to mention Peter Beardsley together they were formidable.
@@ChocolateMilk.. 50/50 , Barnes was more attacking. Gazza was something else , put him in that Liverpool and we most likely won’t be having this conversation.
I am lucky enough to have seen every Liverpool player since '73 & I'm absolutely certain the midfield is as good as it gets when you talk about balance with Barnes on the left with Gerrard on the right & Souey sorting out the middle but I can't see a 4 man midfield it has to for me be a 4-3-3 especially as the defence is so imposing with the king in the hole linking the midfield to the front with Salah in a floating role across the line feeding the goal machine that is Rushie,the only change I would make would be Allison for Clem as in 1 on 1 there's no-one better also his distribution is second to none then in the hot-seat you can't look any further than 3 × European Cup winner 6× League winner 1× Uefa Cup winner 3× League Cup winner 1× Uefa super cup winner 6× Charity Shield winner In 9 seasons Sir Bob Paisley. Just my opinion 🤷 YNWA
Emlyn Hughes has to be in there. Liverpool captain, England captain, multiple leagues and European cups and could play virtually any position. Shankly built his team around him and said he might be the best player in world football. Wasn't primarily used at LB in his Liverpool career but surely has to go in over Steve Nicol.
Not a chance Hughes was better player than Steve Nicol playing LB. Nicol was superb football player. Scored goals, had assists and the partnership with Barnes was unstoppable.
Get a grip! Stevie Nicol was a fantastic footballer and even playing full back managed to score a hat trick against Newcastle one day. Crazy Horse was too slow to play full back in a modern era.
If Liverpool win some more trophies this year (either the CL/EPL or both) then Robertson would go into LB for me. Nicol and Kennedy are the more accomplished right now, but Robbo's a better all-round player imo.
How is Robertson a better all round player than Nicol ? Nicol played all across the back 4 and also played in midfield.He also scored 46 goals compared to Robertson's current 6
The one player ignored (even as honourable mention) is Emlyn Hughes. He could play left back centre half and midfield. I would put him in at left back as he could do everything Nicol and Robertson could do and more. Captain under Shankly and Paisley and first captain to lift the European cup for Liverpool.
@@leepatrick9432 I agree! I absolutely love Robbo, but Stevie Nicol is just ahead of him as our greatest ever LB! Maybe by the time Robbo retires he could surpass him, but right now, its Nicol
Personally I'd put Robbo in ahead of Nicol already, mainly because Robbo actually plays LB full time, whereas Nicol usually played right-back or right mid, then moved to CB later on. Kennedy/Staunton/Beglin/Burrows were our LBs whilst he was at the club. The argument really should be more Neal/Nicol ahead of Trent, not Robbo.
Pity Jamie didn't get to talk about the best goalscorer and the first line of defence...Rush is always overlooked yet no one doubts his place in this, Britain's greatest 11.
@@_biggaz None of that defence or midfield would make a Britain's greatest 11. The only names who would be seriously considered for a Britain's 11 are the 2 up front!
So did Dalglish and Rush and they stayed at Liverpool for 15 seasons, and carried them to trophies. Lol. Don't speak bullshyt when you only hop onto Liverpool bandwagon since Suarez.
@@Dante-vf4sd Suarez played like 4 seasons and didn't win a thing. Greatness for a club ain't about peak performance. It's about how great you are for how many seasons, that's what being a club legend's about. Kenny and Rush both played 15 seasons for the club, won many trophies and Kenny even become a great manager for LFC. Both EASILY ahead of Suarez who ran to Barca the moment they asked.
I agree with this team though Allison is knocking on the door. Every other position seems right. TAA to get into this team at such a young age is remarkable.
Kevin Keegan transformed Liverpool from a good team into a great team. His achievements have faded away in the minds of many pundits over time, but I will always remember him as the greatest player to put on a Liverpool shirt.
@@Theoneandonlyadammurphyryan I always find it interesting that Emlyn Hughes is never mentioned in these discussions. I know why, and it's political in nature, be had all of the energy of Robertson up and down that left wing, and he was also excellent in defence and in midfield.
@@pappy374 Good ole Crazy Horse I have always felt it was a shame he and Tommy Smith never got along they were both great for liverpool but Emlyn definetly should be in the conversation somewhere certainly top 5 I feel
@@Theoneandonlyadammurphyryan He was a wonderful player for us, and he and King Kenny are probably the happiest goalscorers you'll ever see: nothing but huge smiles and joy. I'd say that, at minimum, Hughes is one of the first names for the bench.

@@andrealagravinese6498 you CANNOT swap Souness with anybody. Souness is possibly the first name on the sheet. Alan Kennedy wasn't particularly good, if not famous. Robertson is a much better player.
@@QuickyA2011 the first name ahah he was a good player, but he has done a lot of fouls and he wasn’t brilliant like Xabi Alonso at Liverpool, even if he won more trophies Kennedy is absolutely a Liverpool legend and deserves to be in the starring xi, maybe in a few seasons robertson will overtake him Remember Kennedy’s scores 2 winning goals in a champions league final.
@@andrealagravinese6498 slightly disrespectful to Souness, who was one of the best passing, goal scoring, dominant midfielders to ever play the game. More to his game than tackling.
The full backs are debatable, but other than that it's spot on for me. The fact that almost every single position has about five players competing for it shows the club's stature. I mean, you can have full squad of just legendary Liverpool strikers!
@@tonyb9735 I absolutely agree and that's one of the reasons he definitely shouldn't be there. Trent had 2 amazing season for Liverpool but over the last 2, his standards have dropped quite a bit. Last season he was poor and since mid Jan, he's had 2 assists in over 120 crosses in PL. He's probably liverpools 6th or 7th best performer this season but carragher makes sure to very rarely criticise him. Liverpool have been phenomenal this season and Trent has still been good but in the all time 11 is embarrassing after 4 seasons
John Arne Riise, could hit a ball like a rocket. I'm not a Liverpool guy so I can't say he is their best ever LB, but he is the one who always comes to mind whenever I think of underrated left backs
Nah, Gerrard. To be the greatest, you need adversity. Kenny played in the best squad in the world at that time the whole time he's a player at Liverpool. Gerrard had to carry scrubs, he had Dijimi Traore, Igor Biscan on his team and still solo carried them all the way to Champions League and FA Cup trophies. Greatest all-around player in world football and greatest captain in world football. To put it simply, Kenny is like a beautiful icing on an already marvelous cake. Gerrard is the cake itself.
As a Boro fan i remember going to Ayresome Park circa 1990 waiting to see John Barnes... but he was injured and didn't play... so Peter Beardsley and the rest of the Liverpool Team took pity on us and only beat us 0-3 and the whole of the Holgate clapped Liverpool Off at the end... and the Liverpool Players Clapped Back
"Imagine if" Owen. Fowler, Jones didn't suffer their injuries. If Torres, Suarez, McManaman, didn't leave. This could have been a lot lot harder to pick. If Owen and Fowler had stayed fit at the same time... wow... Then, if Torres had stayed, as Suarez was signed before he left, Torres and Suarez together... scary... Macca, on his day, unplayable. Macca, Owen, Fowler, then along comes Gerrard, all in the same team??? We have as many "could have been" team, as we do great teams.
@@brentmeistergeneral6074 Macca, I'm guessing you meant, spent as much time as a right wing, and attacking mid, as he did on the left. Also played central at times, for Real Madrid, in. mid 3.
Torres was done by the time he left the club. If he had stayed, he'd have been as ineffective for us as he was for Chelsea. We sold him at the right time and for good money.
@@tonyb9735 he wasn't done, he was coming back from inj. He had a much stonger connection with Gerrard, than any other Chelsea players. I could see the energy that Suarez brang, reigniting Torres as well.
Clemence; Neal, Lawrenson, Hansen, Nicol; Salah, Souness (C), Gerrard, Barnes; Rush, Dalglish (Subs; Grobbelaar; Trent, Hyppia, Van Djik, Robbo; Callaghan, Wark, Molby, Ray Kennedy; Suarez, Mane) This squad would win the quadruple and blow everyone out of the water. Note- Nicol did play at left back for a couple of years in the late 80s, very effective and scored quite a few goals too.
Not a Liverpool fan but can't really see the obsession with Trent. Yeah good going forward but he can't defend. Maybe going forward midfield would be an option for him. I'd stick Mark Lawrenson or Tommy Smith ahead of him at right back. You could go 433 and stick Keegan up top with Dalglish and Rush and what about Jimmy Case, a terrific player.
Without Shankly there would be no Paisley tho. Shankly transformed the club from a football club to a cultural movement. And without these two, there would be no Klopp either.
Cant agree with left back ...Nicol best right back liverpool ever had...and Robbo best left back ..think I'd play 4 3 3...clem nicol hansen vvd Robbo...stevie g Souey and Barnes ...Kenny in the hole and Rushie and Salah
Allison is better than Clemence. Luis Suarez was also significantly better than Ian Rush. Rush needed goals laid on a plate for him whereas Suarez could create goals out of nothing, carry the entire attack etc. Players in the modern game are also lightyears ahead of those in the 1970s/80s when it comes to pace, conditioning, physicality etc.
Can’t argue with that side although I’m sure people have their own best ever Liverpool 11, the only thing I’d say is as a few others have done already… our greatest ever player is was and will be John Barnes …. Words won’t do him justice so I’ll leave it there ✌️👍
I agree with you. I was totally in love with John Barnes when I was a kid in the 80's. Barnes had everything. Class, speed, strength, great dribbler, great shot, great cross, great passes, could use both feet and was a good header of the ball.
come on Kenny is and always will be the greatest Liverpool player, and Graham was better than Gerrard. as they say show me the medals Kenny was voted the best post war British footballer, and with what he won with Celtic and as manager with Liverpool and Blackburn no one has won more
As someone who regularly went to Anfield and away matches throughout the 1990s, I don't have any problems with Carragher's line up. Steve Nicol was a midfield player who became a defender. He also played on the wing, right midfield and left midfield. He scored 46 goals including a hattrick against Newcastle.
@@Freedomboy006 yeh but on ability alone, Suarez is the best player I have seen put on a Liverpool shirt. His short time at LFC will keep him out of all time great teams, but his ability was first class
@@jacksmith4460 His behaviour stops Suarez from getting the plaudits, at least for me. Amazing player, but dragged the club's name through mud and even tried to engineer a move to Arsenal. Torres is underrated and deserves a mention. At his peak he was untouchable. He glided on the pitch.
Suarez wore a 7 , King Kenny wore that 😂 but I get you that formation should be 4-3-3 , Salah shouldn't feature as the forwards should be Suarez-Rush and Kenny
Leaving Phil Neal out shows how much he is blinded by the current liverpool side. 8 league titles, 4 European cups and 4 domestic cups with over 650 appearances. No doubt trent is fantastic but that's a little embarrassing from carra there.
Left back should have been Emlyn Hughes. Probably the best player of the Shankly era. Hard not to pick Phil Neal at RB but you have to have something to talk about, I guess. Nicol might more appropriately have been a RB candidate than LB as well.
You have to remember English clubs were banned for 5 years in Europe otherwise Liverpool would have won more. In one season they annihilated the second place team N. Forest 5 - 0, regarded as one of the greatest performances of all time. This team couldn't compete in Europe. Torres and Surez were great but Dalglish was one of the best players of all time.
Paisley over Shankly for me - assistant to both Shankly & Dalglish as well as Liverpools all time most successful managers & one of only three managers to win 3 European Cups / Champions Leagues - the only manager to win it 3 times in it's European Cup format - and won the first 2 League title's the only time Liverpool won 3 League titles in a row (something only something that has only happened 5 times in the history of English football). And I'd have Kennedy at Left Back - hard to disagree with his other picks.
Don't know who he would replace, but Luis Suarez HAS to be in there. His last season at Liverpool was the BEST performance I have EVER seen from ANY player in ANY team in the English top division.
In terms of overall quality, Suarez was the greatest player to ever play for Liverpool but wasn’t here long enough to be established as our greatest player of all time
@@Cartierian I believe in 2 years time, in terms of overall quality, Virgil Van Dijk will be the greatest to ever play for Liverpool. Last season without him we didn’t perform up to our expectations and this season with him we are still competing for all titles in the last month of the season.
But, longevity and overall contribution to Liverpool F.C have to come into it. Kenny D and Souey were in a team that won 3 European Cups in six years. No other English team has had that dominance, granted Pool also won it in 1977 (so four wins in 8 years).
in terms of ability I would have Suarez - Torres upfront and King Kenny with Barnes at the wings Souness although great, he would get a red every game nowadays. So I would go with Gerrard and Alexis Mac Allister - two box to box masters.
Carragher seems to have it in for Robertson, idk why, when picking Liverpool/Utds combined 11 he picked Irwin over him too... Robertson can defend unlike TAA so I don't know what's gone on there.
Yeah, Suarez in a Liverpool shirt was one of the most spectacular players I've ever watched. Imagine that Suarez playing under Klopp today. That would be amazing.
Notable mentions( btw lfc wingers are a bad read. Best winger after barnes i can think of is luis garcia😮) Defense: andy roberston, hypia, carra Midfield : xabi alonso Striker : keegan, fowler, owen, suarez , torres
You know you are historic when guys as great as Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen and Fernando Torres don't even get a mention, I think Fowler was a better striker than Rush, but Ian is linked with an overflow of success in England and Europe so it's ok if he gets the nod
Carra say that there was no real world class left back to play for Liverpool but I would argue that Robbo at his best is up there. However a much overlooked left back that was part of the dynast was Alec Lindsey who successfully played for LiVerpool during Shankly's reign in the early 70's and was class, Agree that Souness should be captain but I think Mark Lawrenson deserves serious thought for a centre back spot. You have to have Kenny in the team, and although Suarez is probably the most skillfull centre forward I have seen play for the reds I would agree that Rushie's partnership with Dalglish was phenomenal and given his work rate he would have loved playing under Klopp.
To be fair apart from hansen gerard and dalglish, the rest of the starting 11 could be debated but id have to give credit to carra. This is a great selection. Honourable mentions to Fowler Keegan Ian st john Steve mcmahon Jan molby Emlyn hughes Phil thompson Peter Beardsley Steve mcmannamon And of course jamie carrager himself. He was a great servant to lfc.
My Team - Bruce Grobbelaar, Phil Neal, Alan Hansen, Ron Yeats, Steve Nicol, Ray Kennedy, Graeme Souness, Steven Gerrard, John Barnes, Kenny Dalgleish, Ian Rush... Kevin Keegan sub 2nd sub Peter Beardsley
@@craigdewhust4729 Apart from Dalglish Suarez is the best player out of everyone in the team but bc he was at Liverpool for a short period of time he doesn’t make it
Contrary to a poster below, none of that defence or midfield would make a Britain's greatest 11. The only names who would be seriously considered for a Britain's greatest 11 are the 2 up front! I don't believe they would make it in the final selection but they would be considered 👍
@@andrewbryce2707 Considered maybe, but then quickly ruled out. He couldn't replicate his Liverpool form for England and in fact was hated by a big section of England fans. And before you say it, it had nothing to do with race. It was lack of effort!!!
@@KryptonitetoallBS I need to see the players you would have ahead of Barnes as this will be interesting. Barnes didn't replicate his Liverpool form because the way England was setup. Them England teams played awful football and were miles behind the stuff we saw the Liverpool team that Dalglish put together. That 87-88 Liverpool team were playing football never seen in this country. Also just listen to what the likes of Paul Gascoigne say about Barnes. Merson also just a few weeks ago said still till this day England hasn't produced a better LW over Barnes. Viv Anderson called Barnes the best and toughest player he had to try to defend against. Honestly where are this great Wide left players who are better than Barnes. You don't realize how good Barnes was.
@@andrewbryce2707 The following can be found by googling ..........."Barnes' 79 caps (11 goals) made him England's record capped black player for a time. Compared to his club form, he was never seen as a player who peaked wearing an England shirt." So it's not MY opinion, it's a widely held opinion. As for better English wingers, names which immediately spring to mind are Tom Finney and Stanley Mathews and UK wide you have Jimmy Johnstone, George Best, Ryan Giggs and Gareth Bale.
Made a Liverpool all time 11 myself recently before even seeing this video with 8 of the same players included. The only differences being Neal for Trent, Robertson for Nicol and Mané for Barnes (who I completely forgot about!)
Meanwhile Owen is left out always even tho he won the Ballon d'Or. Betrayal aside, he was cutting defences like a warm knife in butter. They could not catch him. Him and Gerrard are the reason I support this club since I was 7 years old. Of course my dad was also a Liverpool fan due to King Kenny and Rush, so that helped :)

Like me, you'd be of the right vintage to remember McEnroe's famous refrain: 'You cannot be serious'. Kenny Dalglish is Liverpool's greatest player. What did Pool win with Torres in the side, or Suarez. 1977-1984, four European Cups and countless First Division titles.
@@xav9258 This is all about personal opinions, Dalgish was fantastic BUT Suarez in that last year was unplayable and in that year Dalglish wouldn't come close to the audacity, guile, skill, assists and goals that Suarez created.

I so wish I could have seen him play in his prime with Suarez in his prime, they would have wiped Dalglish and Rush..... But as i said this is all about opinions.

Watch the iconic champions league comeback against AC and just watch Alonso. He always won the ball and start the play
Solid selection tho i think would have gone for John Arne Riise for the left back position. Mouth waters at the thought of Hansen and VVD together alongside each other.
why is Salah in the midfield... If someone can't make it in the formation he chose his favorite, he shouldnt include him in whatever position as long he appears in the XI.

@@adammohamed.. Barnes was better.
@@ChocolateMilk.. 50/50 , Barnes was more attacking. Gazza was something else , put him in that Liverpool and we most likely won’t be having this conversation.
@A M Can you explain what trophies has to do wit skill ?
@@ChocolateMilk.. Naaaah you are losing it mate, Gazza was better, just in rubbish teams.
I am lucky enough to have seen every Liverpool player since '73 & I'm absolutely certain the midfield is as good as it gets when you talk about balance with Barnes on the left with Gerrard on the right & Souey sorting out the middle but I can't see a 4 man midfield it has to for me be a 4-3-3 especially as the defence is so imposing with the king in the hole linking the midfield to the front with Salah in a floating role across the line feeding the goal machine that is Rushie,the only change I would make would be Allison for Clem as in 1 on 1 there's no-one better also his distribution is second to none then in the hot-seat you can't look any further than
3 × European Cup winner
6× League winner

3× League Cup winner
1× Uefa super cup winner

Sir Bob Paisley.
Just my opinion 🤷
YNWA
Emlyn Hughes has to be in there. Liverpool captain, England captain, multiple leagues and European cups and could play virtually any position. Shankly built his team around him and said he might be the best player in world football. Wasn't primarily used at LB in his Liverpool career but surely has to go in over Steve Nicol.
Not a chance Hughes was better player than Steve Nicol playing LB. Nicol was superb football player. Scored goals, had assists and the partnership with Barnes was unstoppable.
Get a grip! Stevie Nicol was a fantastic footballer and even playing full back managed to score a hat trick against Newcastle one day. Crazy Horse was too slow to play full back in a modern era.
A segment like this needs more than 4 minutes. This cannot be a filler segment, discussing these things has to be committed to.
If Liverpool win some more trophies this year (either the CL/EPL or both) then Robertson would go into LB for me. Nicol and Kennedy are the more accomplished right now, but Robbo's a better all-round player imo.
How is Robertson a better all round player than Nicol ? Nicol played all across the back 4 and also played in midfield.He also scored 46 goals compared to Robertson's current 6
The one player ignored (even as honourable mention) is Emlyn Hughes. He could play left back centre half and midfield. I would put him in at left back as he could do everything Nicol and Robertson could do and more. Captain under Shankly and Paisley and first captain to lift the European cup for Liverpool.
@@leepatrick9432 I agree! I absolutely love Robbo, but Stevie Nicol is just ahead of him as our greatest ever LB!
Maybe by the time Robbo retires he could surpass him, but right now, its Nicol
Nicols was FWA Player of the Year AS A DEFENDER
Personally I'd put Robbo in ahead of Nicol already, mainly because Robbo actually plays LB full time, whereas Nicol usually played right-back or right mid, then moved to CB later on. Kennedy/Staunton/Beglin/Burrows were our LBs whilst he was at the club.
The argument really should be more Neal/Nicol ahead of Trent, not Robbo.
Pity Jamie didn't get to talk about the best goalscorer and the first line of defence...Rush is always overlooked yet no one doubts his place in this, Britain's greatest 11.
Rush so good at ghosting in scoring 300 plus goals. Ghosted in to the team.
Seriously though rush dnt even need an explanation. Perfect striker.
wouldnt say britains greatest 11, thats just bias that clown
@@_biggaz None of that defence or midfield would make a Britain's greatest 11. The only names who would be seriously considered for a Britain's 11 are the 2 up front!

@@KryptonitetoallBSGerrard???
the best right back for me apart from his injuries would have been rob jones fantastic player
Suarez didn't had the longevity but he had the greatest individual impact. He made that average Liverpool side look like World Class team.
Not as big a impact the likes of Kevin Keegan, John Barnes, Steven Gerrard, Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk made
He played alongside STurridge and Sterling, who were very good. It wasn´t an average side.
So did Dalglish and Rush and they stayed at Liverpool for 15 seasons, and carried them to trophies. Lol. Don't speak bullshyt when you only hop onto Liverpool bandwagon since Suarez.
@@youngbae5187 Rush and Dalglish played with top top teams, Saurez played with a few but as a team not even close to those 70's and 80's sides

It's about how great you are for how many seasons, that's what being a club legend's about.

I agree with this team though Allison is knocking on the door. Every other position seems right. TAA to get into this team at such a young age is remarkable.
Would be a good few more years of winning trophies before Alison is knocking on the door
I think robertson is a monster, so so much energy never gets tired, can defend well, can cross
he improved his corner kicks, he really sucked before. Maybe Kostas gave him some advices.

The full backs are debatable, but other than that it's spot on for me.
The fact that almost every single position has about five players competing for it shows the club's stature. I mean, you can have full squad of just legendary Liverpool strikers!
I don't think its debatable at all, Phil Neal is 100% liverpools best right back ever. Look at the trophies, appearances and performances

@@tonyb9735 I absolutely agree and that's one of the reasons he definitely shouldn't be there. Trent had 2 amazing season for Liverpool but over the last 2, his standards have dropped quite a bit. Last season he was poor and since mid Jan, he's had 2 assists in over 120 crosses in PL. He's probably liverpools 6th or 7th best performer this season but carragher makes sure to very rarely criticise him. Liverpool have been phenomenal this season and Trent has still been good but in the all time 11 is embarrassing after 4 seasons

@@faridabouhi9500 he's 2nd, he has the most crosses, Salah creates massive space for him but I'm saying in 2022, he's been average
I never saw Daglish or Rush play, I wonder how Torres compares. Torres at his peak was a fearsome striker
John Arne Riise, could hit a ball like a rocket. I'm not a Liverpool guy so I can't say he is their best ever LB, but he is the one who always comes to mind whenever I think of underrated left backs
I used to watch him as well, one of the best left foots in the game!
Kenny Dalglish is Liverpool's greatest player.
Nah, Gerrard. To be the greatest, you need adversity. Kenny played in the best squad in the world at that time the whole time he's a player at Liverpool. Gerrard had to carry scrubs, he had Dijimi Traore, Igor Biscan on his team and still solo carried them all the way to Champions League and FA Cup trophies. Greatest all-around player in world football and greatest captain in world football.
To put it simply, Kenny is like a beautiful icing on an already marvelous cake. Gerrard is the cake itself.
As a Boro fan i remember going to Ayresome Park circa 1990 waiting to see John Barnes... but he was injured and didn't play... so Peter Beardsley and the rest of the Liverpool Team took pity on us and only beat us 0-3 and the whole of the Holgate clapped Liverpool Off at the end... and the Liverpool Players Clapped Back
"Imagine if" Owen. Fowler, Jones didn't suffer their injuries.
If Torres, Suarez, McManaman, didn't leave. This could have been a lot lot harder to pick.
If Owen and Fowler had stayed fit at the same time... wow...
Then, if Torres had stayed, as Suarez was signed before he left, Torres and Suarez together... scary...
Macca, on his day, unplayable. Macca, Owen, Fowler, then along comes Gerrard, all in the same team???
We have as many "could have been" team, as we do great teams.
Max a still wouldn’t make the cut simply as he was left sided and would be up against Barnes.
@@brentmeistergeneral6074 Macca, I'm guessing you meant, spent as much time as a right wing, and attacking mid, as he did on the left. Also played central at times, for Real Madrid, in. mid 3.
Torres was done by the time he left the club. If he had stayed, he'd have been as ineffective for us as he was for Chelsea. We sold him at the right time and for good money.
@@tonyb9735 he wasn't done, he was coming back from inj.
He had a much stonger connection with Gerrard, than any other Chelsea players.
I could see the energy that Suarez brang, reigniting Torres as well.

Missed on some big names. Downing, Carroll, Charlie Adam, Allen, Spearing, Poulsen, Konchesky, Mignolet, Moreno

This squad would win the quadruple and blow everyone out of the water. Note- Nicol did play at left back for a couple of years in the late 80s, very effective and scored quite a few goals too.
Good team but United all time 11 would win

If you think they don't know the questions beforehand, you're insane.
He got briefing already lol. That's why they can display the player's he choose in screen immediately.
Allison, TAA, HANSEN, VVD, NICOL, Souness, Gerrard, Barnes, Dalglish, Suarez, Rush.
Not a Liverpool fan but can't really see the obsession with Trent. Yeah good going forward but he can't defend. Maybe going forward midfield would be an option for him. I'd stick Mark Lawrenson or Tommy Smith ahead of him at right back. You could go 433 and stick Keegan up top with Dalglish and Rush and what about Jimmy Case, a terrific player.
Bob Paisley was Liverpool's greatest ever manager by a mile
Without Shankly there would be no Paisley tho. Shankly transformed the club from a football club to a cultural movement. And without these two, there would be no Klopp either.
I totally concur.
Love Shanks, but Bob was an enigma. You could tell Shanks was a motivator. Tough little streetfighter. But just Bob's presence seemed to be enough,
Substitutes: Alllison, Hypia, Torres, Firmino, Suarez, Kyut.
Cant agree with left back ...Nicol best right back liverpool ever had...and Robbo best left back ..think I'd play 4 3 3...clem nicol hansen vvd Robbo...stevie g Souey and Barnes ...Kenny in the hole and Rushie and Salah
Allison is better than Clemence. Luis Suarez was also significantly better than Ian Rush. Rush needed goals laid on a plate for him whereas Suarez could create goals out of nothing, carry the entire attack etc. Players in the modern game are also lightyears ahead of those in the 1970s/80s when it comes to pace, conditioning, physicality etc.
Can’t argue with that side although I’m sure people have their own best ever Liverpool 11, the only thing I’d say is as a few others have done already… our greatest ever player is was and will be John Barnes …. Words won’t do him justice so I’ll leave it there ✌️👍
I agree with you. I was totally in love with John Barnes when I was a kid in the 80's. Barnes had everything. Class, speed, strength, great dribbler, great shot, great cross, great passes, could use both feet and was a good header of the ball.
Rush the Goal Machine, the OG Pressing Forward Poacher, one of the Greatest Strikers of All Time.
Barnes and Rush was my Heroes Growing Up.
come on Kenny is and always will be the greatest Liverpool player, and Graham was better than Gerrard. as they say show me the medals
Kenny was voted the best post war British footballer, and with what he won with Celtic and as manager with Liverpool and Blackburn no one has won more
As someone who regularly went to Anfield and away matches throughout the 1990s, I don't have any problems with Carragher's line up. Steve Nicol was a midfield player who became a defender. He also played on the wing, right midfield and left midfield. He scored 46 goals including a hattrick against Newcastle.
Honorable mentions Suarez Xabi Alonso Fernando torres
torres only had 2 good years so there’s no longevity . same with suarez.
@@Freedomboy006 yeh but on ability alone, Suarez is the best player I have seen put on a Liverpool shirt. His short time at LFC will keep him out of all time great teams, but his ability was first class

His behaviour stops Suarez from getting the plaudits, at least for me. Amazing player, but dragged the club's name through mud and even tried to engineer a move to Arsenal.
Torres is underrated and deserves a mention. At his peak he was untouchable. He glided on the pitch.
all 3 are good, but wen talk abt Finishers -- we still have -- God Fowler and tat other fella ...
@@prabhukiranz True. God deserves a mention.
But let's not even talk about that other guy.
3:52 Suarez was much more talented than Rush, but I can understand not picking Suarez as his Liverpool career wasn’t great
Suarez wore a 7 , King Kenny wore that 😂 but I get you that formation should be 4-3-3 , Salah shouldn't feature as the forwards should be Suarez-Rush and Kenny
Leaving Phil Neal out shows how much he is blinded by the current liverpool side. 8 league titles, 4 European cups and 4 domestic cups with over 650 appearances. No doubt trent is fantastic but that's a little embarrassing from carra there.
Even if there was no PN, I would not put TAA there.
Left back should have been Emlyn Hughes. Probably the best player of the Shankly era.
Hard not to pick Phil Neal at RB but you have to have something to talk about, I guess. Nicol might more appropriately have been a RB candidate than LB as well.
Stevie Nicol is a great character on ESPN FC
He's an okay pundit. People hate on him, but don't know how great a player he is for LFC.
@@youngbae5187 to win footballer of the year, at a time when full backs were very different to now, is incredible and shows his level
This is the correct team; rush could score in the Grafton with no money
You have to remember English clubs were banned for 5 years in Europe otherwise Liverpool would have won more. In one season they annihilated the second place team N. Forest 5 - 0, regarded as one of the greatest performances of all time. This team couldn't compete in Europe. Torres and Surez were great but Dalglish was one of the best players of all time.
Kenny is the greatest British player I have ever seen. I am not old enough to have seen George Best.
Paisley over Shankly for me - assistant to both Shankly & Dalglish as well as Liverpools all time most successful managers & one of only three managers to win 3 European Cups / Champions Leagues - the only manager to win it 3 times in it's European Cup format - and won the first 2 League title's the only time Liverpool won 3 League titles in a row (something only something that has only happened 5 times in the history of English football).
And I'd have Kennedy at Left Back - hard to disagree with his other picks.
Shankly was the motivator & Paisley was the tactician & a man of few words ,who let his teams speak for him out on the pitch with results .
Don't know who he would replace, but Luis Suarez HAS to be in there. His last season at Liverpool was the BEST performance I have EVER seen from ANY player in ANY team in the English top division.
Facts
Still didn’t play for long enough for the club. Others who spent a long time at the club and contributed more should be respected.
In terms of overall quality, Suarez was the greatest player to ever play for Liverpool but wasn’t here long enough to be established as our greatest player of all time
@@Cartierian I believe in 2 years time, in terms of overall quality, Virgil Van Dijk will be the greatest to ever play for Liverpool. Last season without him we didn’t perform up to our expectations and this season with him we are still competing for all titles in the last month of the season.
But, longevity and overall contribution to Liverpool F.C have to come into it. Kenny D and Souey were in a team that won 3 European Cups in six years. No other English team has had that dominance, granted Pool also won it in 1977 (so four wins in 8 years).
Barney Rubble has to make it for me especially with us playing Real in paris at end of the month, just a tip of the cap for 81'
Apparently his first few performances were not up to standard which led the legendary Bob Paisley to say, 'I think they shot the wrong Kennedy.' 😂
Nah Suarez and Owen in their prime make it for me
Prime Torres> Prime Owen

Liverpool never really had world-class fullbacks, so even a slightly above average English player was bound to get in.
@@handzar6402 Well that's simply not true
in terms of ability I would have Suarez - Torres upfront and King Kenny with Barnes at the wings
Souness although great, he would get a red every game nowadays. So I would go with Gerrard and Alexis Mac Allister - two box to box masters.
Carragher seems to have it in for Robertson, idk why, when picking Liverpool/Utds combined 11 he picked Irwin over him too... Robertson can defend unlike TAA so I don't know what's gone on there.
Irwin was the best left back in the EPL history bar Cole. I'd have Robbo third though!
The only Scot at Liverpool he liked it seems is Souness and that is maybe because he works with him he does not even praise the King that often.
I've noticed that too.
@@SuntoryKick Good so it is not just me who notices this.
Robbo is not obviously better than Denis Irwin was; nothing wrong with any of this

Carra say that there was no real world class left back to play for Liverpool but I would argue that Robbo at his best is up there. However a much overlooked left back that was part of the dynast was Alec Lindsey who successfully played for LiVerpool during Shankly's reign in the early 70's and was class, Agree that Souness should be captain but I think Mark Lawrenson deserves serious thought for a centre back spot. You have to have Kenny in the team, and although Suarez is probably the most skillfull centre forward I have seen play for the reds I would agree that Rushie's partnership with Dalglish was phenomenal and given his work rate he would have loved playing under Klopp.
Billy Liddell was Liverpool's greatest ever player and Carra doesn't pick him. Bit disappointed in that.
Yeah! But these people can’t go back that far. Shankly, Liddell, Gerrard , Dalgleish fir me are tops
Nah

what did he achieve in Liverpool ?. How can he better for Liverpool than Dalglish, who won 3 European cups and 8 league titles lol
My all time Liverpool XI
Dalglish. Suarez. Salah
Gerrard. Souness. Mane
Robertson. Virgil. Hansen. Trent
Clemence
I always thought Ronnie Whelan was the one nicknamed Barney Rubble? I've lived with that impression since the 80s, everyday is a school day.
As a legends team yes but if you strictly look at talent, intelligence, ability and skill few if any come close to Suarez.
Pretty much all shoe-ins apart from Phil Neal as British footballs most decorated player has to be in at rb. Maybe Arnold when his career is done could challenge but not right now. Manager maybe Paisley but its 50-50 with Shanks.
I'm grew up in the 80s England I'm a United fan but Jamie's front 2 is spot on
