      Most adored 11

      A club blessed with great players down the years and plenty of legends and icons

      What would be the most adored 11? They don't have to be the best players in the position it doesn't have to be your favourite players were looking to see who we think are the biggest fan favourite in each position.

      For example in a 4 4 2 in my view the 2 front men would be Kenny and God. Surely know other finishers have been idolised like those 2?

      Maybe a controversial decision, but since I'm just a young'n I've not had the pleasure of watching Dalglish play. Even God I didn't get to see the best of.

      Being from Glasgow I had no reason to support Liverpool, the only reason I did so was because of a certain Michael Owen. I would have only been a toddler when he broke in to the 1st team, but growing up he was my favourite player, so naturally I started supporting his team. Obviously him leaving and some of his comments afterwards leave a bitter taste in the mouth but, after all, he is the very reason I support the best club in the world.

      Other striker would have to be Suarez, maybe not for his actions, but for the simple fact that he is the most gifted and brilliant player I've witnessed in a red shirt. I personally was willing to forgive his escapades in summer (it's understandable that one of the worlds best player would want to be competing at the highest level) and I can appreciate what he has done for this club and that his goals this season could potentially lead to our first title since I was born.

      So yeah, those are my 2 most adored strikers, take it easy on me please...

      I adored Michael as well. I thought he was a wonderful striker and could score against anybody of any quality. Like you said his career came to an abrupt halt with us, a career that never did get better but regardless he was one of the most natural goalscorers I have ever seen. On the national side of things he remains the best player to have performed in an England shirt in my lifetime. Bad things get said about him but I prefer to remember his brilliant moments for us.

      A few suggestions - Jerzy Dudek is a name that always brings a smile to my face. Dirk Kuyt as well because, despite his limited ability, his work rate more than made up for it. He embodied everything which I adore in a Liverpool player.

      Fowler and Suarez up top for me. Kenny in the hole behind. Heighway on the left and Stirling on the right.
      Souness centre mid. back four of Rob Jones, Tommy Smith, Sammi Hypia and Alan Hanson. Clemence between the sticks.
      Subs from. Stevie G, Digger Barnes, Beardsly, Barney Rubble, Emlyn, Big Ron Yeats, and Jan Molby.

      Think this little lot would beat any side, any where!

      I was born in 1973, youngest of 5, my family bled red before moving to the USA permanently in 1981. Lived in Eastham, Wirral. Anyway, still was a young kid, but Kevin Keegan was my first hero, until another #7 came to town, (was to young to understand what a transfer meant in 1977!)
      King Kenny, and no one will ever replace him as my favorite red. Other notables for me was Stevie Heighway, Emlyn Hughes, Alan Hanson.
      I never got to see Rush, Fowler, or Owens heydays as football was not broadcasted in the USA back then, but I got to watch the NY cosmos play on carpet at giants stadium, great times! (Sarcasm)

      Just picked my favourite players, I think if they stay I will soon be adding Suarez and Coutinho to that list. Torres would have been in too if he had stayed longer, loved him, loved his song.

      No most adored 11 would not be complete without the late great Billy Liddell and I hope Ray Kennedy appears in someone's selection.

      Baring in mind I'm 19, so have only properly seen from 2000 onwards. Here goes:

      Reina

      Finnan
      Carragher
      Hyypia
      Riise

      Lucas
      Gerrard
      Garcia

      Suarez
      Torres
      Owen

      Again, not necessarily the best players. Simply my cult heroes from down the years.

      Mmmm

      So favourites in my time


                      Reina

      Nicol  Hanson   Hyypia  Carra


                  Gerrard  Alonso


       Beardsley   Dalglish   Barnes

                         Fowler


      Subs
      Grobelaar
      Jones
      Hamman
      Molby
      Mcmanaman
      Berger
      Rush

      Very tough leaving Rushie out but for the sake of a formation and that Kenny and Robbie can either player up top or Kenny in the hole I had to

      Very tough though.. I could pick ten sides.

      I loved watching Souness back but didn't see enough live to have him in there. Houghton was very close to a part as was McMahon and Garcia

      Oh well just favourites and all that. Got my mind off the title run for half hour though
