      What's your personal greatest 11
      Sep 09, 2012 10:30:09 am
      I get a bit bored on International breaks as you can probably tell  :D

      I'm just walking my young un when I got to thinking about weather Pepe can get back to his best and then onto who is the best keeper I've seen during my personal days of supporting the club..

      Now we have a great mix of ages on here so this should vary a bit so I was wondering what's peoples best 11 (plus 7 subs) that they have watched...

      Justify if you feel you need or just put the players down..

      Mine would be ( probably)

      Reina
      Nicol
      Carra
      Hansen
      Hyypia
      Alonso
      Gerrard
      Barnes
      Dalglish
      Rush
      Fowler

      Grobelaar
      Agger
      Jones
      Hamman
      Mcmanaman
      Beardsley
      Torres

      It's actually very tough to name just a select few but those I have special memories of.

      Too many good ones left out though.



      Yours? Will be interesting across the ages.
      I left out some great players that I've seen plenty of on tape but only counted ones I have watched either live or tv... Which is about 84 onwards.

      Decent team. No way Reina would get in for me. He is not even in the top 3. Good bit of fun this though and its very difficult to pick!

      With the keepers though Don I have never seen Clem "play" so even though looking at past videos etc would put him no.1 I couldnt personally as he had left by the time I started watching week in week out.

      For me Pepe at his best was a better all round keeper than Grob... But it's such a tough one...
      I personally still believe Pep can get back to his best... Should he not and leave next summer then those two could switch.

      But in my time those two are head and shoulders above the rest who have worn the gloves.

       Ray Clemence-Phil Neal-Gerry Byrne-Ray Kennedy- Alan Hansen-Emlyn Hughes-Billy Liddell-Roger Hunt-Ian Rush -Kenny Dalglish=Steve Heighway/John Barnes,Subs-Tommy Lawrence-Chris Lawler-Barney Rubble= Bob Paisley Peter Thompson- Ian StJohn- Albert Stubbins. I have done this in a rush and with time would probably come up with a different set of players though the great Billy Liddell would always be first on my team sheet.

      Agree (especially about Sir Billy Liddell) except for Phil Neal and Heighway. I would put Chris Lawler before Neal and Peter Thompson before Heighway.

      Left Back is the one that was killing me - I put Stevie Nicol in but I really feel he's best at right back. Any supporters with recommendations pre 80's would be appreciated

      One of my favourite left halves was Willie Stevenson,he replaced Tommy Leishman in the team and what a difference he made,he signed for us in October 1962 and I reckon that signing enabled us to win the league in 1964.With his passing ability he would have fitted in with Brendan Rodgers style of play withy no problem.As a club we were so blessed with class midfielders in the 1960s,70s, and 80s it makes it difficult to pick the best,

      Thanks Billy - I'm 42 and it's so tough over the whole team. Just remembered I've left out Ray Kennedy who was a smashing footballer too.
