      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.

      Surprised so many talk about Torres and Suarez in the same breath as though they were equals. If we had Suarez in his prime in 2007-2009 like Torres then we would have won the Premier League and probably the Champions League as well.

      By rights this should be Dalglish and Rush. Quite simply a breath taking partnership. Look at Rushies record, unreal.

      But I idolised and I can't overstate that enough Robbie Fowler. I was 14/15 when he arrived and he had me from day 1. What a finisher. Best I've ever seen and I mean that. Lethal. Volleys headers tap ins screamers right foot left foot the lot.

      On that basis I have to pick Robbie. God and the King up front....drooling

      The only question is who plays up front with Dalglish?

      Rush or Sir Roger?

      Dalglish & Rush for me.

      Went for Kenny and Rush their record speaks for itself as do the trophys it's no coincidence that our greatest era came with these two leading the charge , a lot have gone for Luis and I understand why magical player no doubt who I loved watching play so I have him on the bench , I feel the team I selected would have battered most if not all before them

      Don't think Torres is a contender here really but I got to say I absolutely loved watching him at his peak with Gerrard just behind him. Not as good as Suarez no way but in terms of enjoyment it was right up there IMO.

      Kenny's got to be in there and then after that it's between Fowler (absolutely loved the man), Rush (stats and trophies speak for themselves) and Suarez (probably the most gifted player to put on a red shirt) for me.

      Dalglish and Suarez. Just.

      Very difficult to  choose only two from the list, some obvious choices though, in Fowler Dalglish & Suarez to my mind. As well as Rush.

      I am going to split the generations and go with Sir Rodger (world cup winner and all round great guy) and Luis Suarez the most competitive player we have ever had a force of nature.

      Put Suarez on the right so this one's easy;
      Dalglish & Rush.

      Rushie probably the most underrated player in our history.

      Had Suarez not left, he could've went on to be the greatest ever, but the greatest ever team so also include loyalty, So for me it will be Rush, the player I watched from my primary school days, the best poacher weve ever had. Second choice has to be God, the best all-around forward ive had the pleasure to watch.

      No contest for me, it has to be Kenny and Rush. 

      Yes Keegan and Toshack were great as were Suarez, Fowler and Torres but we won F**k all with them in comparison to my top 2 and winning is what we're all about.

      Same, could have made a case for Fowler, Torres and Suarez, but for length of service, goals scored and what they delivered it had to be two proper legends for me.

      Part of the problem with these Greatest ever threads  is they are generally related to the posters age.I am sure if my Dad was still alive he would come up with a totally different 11 players to me.For instance he used to go on about Gordon Hodgson who scored 232 goals in 359 matches.I could be wrong but I dont think I have seen Gordon Hodgsons name mentioned.

      Rush & Suarez. Can't believe i'm leaving out Kenny. I am ashamed. Fowler was great, but he was nowhere near as good as Rush. Suarez is the most talented player I have seen since Barnes.

      Voted God and Suarez who slightly edge Kenny and Rush. Honourable mention to Gerrard and Torres. I know Gerrard's rightly not listed but the year he played off Torres was one of the most exciting years we've had.

      I did something I never thought I'd promote in my lifetime.......I split up Kenny and Rushie by swapping out the moustachioed one for Luis.....

      Luis running / movement off and around Kenny........jaysus we'd slaughter teams 👍

      anyone who left Kenny out should do a bit of self flagellation..I have done mine stung a bit I can tell you.
      And putting Kenny on the bench and as manager still doesn't count Tadders.
      Seriously Jürgen could do far worse than look through the history of players we have been discussing because apart from skill they all have similar "winners mentality".
