Almost there... The LFC Reds Greatest Ever Team: Forwards

And so we come to our final category in this summer's trip down memory lane - the forwards, the strikers, the goalscorers.

Let's have the nominations for players worthy of going forward for a forum vote.

F**k


So.....


F**k


Right it's gonna be


F**k....







In all seriousness though I don't actually find it that difficult in terms of who I instinctivly go for, personally would have to go

Fowler
Rush

Robbie was probably the most natural finisher I've seen, broke into the side when I was 15/16 so lived through my teens and early 20s idolising him, Rush as a kid I just loved him, he had everything, best at closing from the front and had any type of goal in him

However none withstanding the obvious shouts for
Dalglish
Beardsley
Aldridge
Keegan
Toshack
Torres
Suarez
Owen

It really hurts to leave out Dalglish and Beardsley personally but I started supporting the club in 86 so really remember Kenny more as manager than player even though I have read and watched everything back since and Beardsley was a personal favourite as a kid. But for eras and two I absolutely loved it would be Rushy and God if I had to pick

Suarez
Torres
Owen
Fowler
Kenny
Rush

Obviously there are so many reasons to vote so many players. I grew up with Fowler  and Owen on my bedroom wall as a kid but I have to vote for the two that have given me the most joy in my 27 years and that is Torres and Suarez.

Torres edges it for me, I F***ing loved him! Broke my heart when he went to Chelsea. Thankfully he never delivered.

Like a girlfriend that dumps you and you see her a year later and she's pregnant and doubled in size. But anyway...

Torres and Suarez 

Has to be Suarez in there. Probably the most skilful player to have ever played for the club. Best player in the world the past three years. Made us forget Torres very very quickly and was a level well above the standards of Fernando.

Suarez
Suarez
Suarez
Suarez
Suarez

That's my top five.

We have a deep deep history of top class forwards - this will be hard for anyone who knows that history.

Edit: As we are going 4-4-2 - I will look for a partnership and that should help me narrow it down.

Roger Hunt & Ian St John; Kevin Keegan & John Toshack; John Aldridge & Peter Beardsley; Luis Suarez & Daniel Sturridge or Ian Rush & King Kenny. Hmm... 

A tough one and with a heavy heart my two choices up front would be Suarez and Rush.

F**k it... who am I kidding - this is easy Rush & Dalglish = the best Britain has ever F***ing seen. 

We've had a lot of good forwards in my time. With some of them it all turned a little sour.

Idolised Owen growing up, respected Fowler greatly.

Fast forward a decade it was Torres and once he'd dumped us it was Luis and Studge.

In my life time the best two were easily Torres and Suarez.

Them two playing together in their prime would have beaten anyone in Europe.

Suarez and Torres in my lifetime.

Just cannot leave Dalglish out of my greatest LFC eleven.  So when I vote it will be Dalglish and Suarez. 

Rush and Dalglish, but the partnership of Torres and Suarez is the one we never saw, but what could have been... 

Suarez and Torres.

Would have put Owen instead of Suarez, but Owen is a c*nt

F**k


So.....

Hunt, St John.

Is there anything to be said for a Dalglish, Torres & Suarez front 3?

Just cannot leave Dalglish out of my greatest LFC eleven.  So when I vote it will be Dalglish and Suarez. 

Dalglish and Suarez for me as well.

Torres as brilliant as he was, doesn't get a look in for me.

To be honest you may be on to something there, the way you have put that

Think I'm going to have to break my rule of only voting for players I've watched in my time to stick Kenny in, like I said I remember him as a manager rather than a player but I've watched so much of him recorded and back that I feel like it was there anyway

Just who to drop... Robbie or Rushy

 

Yet another headache from this fantastic thread, we can go back decades with our club and each has produced top drawer strikers/forwards, St John, Hunt, Toshack, Keegan, Rush, Kenny, Owen,God, Torres and Crazy genius Suarez, 

In my team I've tried to select those who I've seen live or have known or learnt more about, and it's the same with my forwards although I have seen these two play on many a occasion,  for that reason I have to go with Kenny & Rushy,  their telepathy was second to none, Rush with his deadly eye for where the goals were and Kenny for his intelligence, his touch, his skill, his passing his scoring, he had everything, simply awesome, so those two ably backed tho with,
Fowler
Torres
Suarez in any combination,

                        Clemence
       Neal.  Hansen  Hyppia.  Nicol
 Callaghan Souness Gerrard Barnes
                  Dalglish.  Rush

Subs; Reina, Emlyn, Lawler, Beardsley, Alonso, Mascherano, R Kennedy, Fowler, Suarez Torres, Dundee

WORLD BEATERS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



YNWA

Torres as brilliant as he was, doesn't get a look in for me.

Suarez > Torres.  Suarez carried Liverpool almost single handedly at times, playing alongside worse players.  Torres had the ball being fed to him from Gerrard in his prime, Alonso, Kuyt, Mascherano et al.

Just cannot leave Dalglish out of my greatest LFC eleven.  So when I vote it will be Dalglish and Suarez. 

Exactly my thoughts mate, best 2 players we've ever had in my opinion.

The one I feel sorry for is Keegan. People forget just how important (and good) a player he was. The Suarez of his day tends to get overlooked in part because of who replaced him (Kenny). What people tend to forget is that Keegan wasn't replaced solely by Dalglish but Souness came in and shortly after Hansen came in too.

For me Dalglish was better but only by the thickness of a cigarette paper.   

Kenny &..........I'm going with Suarez...



F**k me we've had some quality upfront...
