So before Sadio Mane makes his 160th Premier League appearance for us and becomes our 22nd highest appearance maker in the division, I thought we'd have some fun and pick which team we'd go for if the teams were based solely on how many Premier League appearances they made for the club.
Here are the teams in full
1st XI (4-3-3)
Reina (5th)
Carragher (1st) Skrtel (8th) Hyypia (3rd) Riise (10th)
Henderson (4th) Lucas (7th) Redknapp (11th)
Gerrard (2nd) Fowler (6th) McManaman (9th)
2nd XI (3-5-2)
James (13th)
Johnson (22nd) Agger (18th) Milner (19th)
Kuyt (14th) Wijnaldum (17th) Hamann (16th) Murphy (20th) Barnes (21st)
Firmino (15th) Owen (12th)
3rd XI (4-3-3)
Mignolet (24th)
Finnan (29th) Jones (25th) Wright (33rd) Bjornebye (32nd)
Coutinho (26th) Alonso (30th) Berger (28th)
Salah (31st) Heskey (27th) Mane (23rd)
4th XI (5-3-2)
Dudek (40th)
Alexander-Arnold (42nd) Henchoz (34th) Lovren (35th) Babb (39th) Robertson (37th)
Lallana (38th) Matteo (41st) Smicer (43rd)
Rush (36th) Sturridge (44th)
5th XI (3-4-3)
Alisson (52nd)
Matip (54th) Van Dijk (53rd) Ruddock (45th)
McAteer (50th) Can (46th) Thomas (48th) Sterling (55th)
Suarez (47th) Torres (49th) Origi (51st)
Personally I'd go for the 1st XI just because it contains Robbie Fowler in but I think all five could make a strong argument as to why they'd be the one you'd go for.
