I have my doubts that any 2 posters would opt for the same 11 players over a given time. When I think of the players who wore the Red Of Liverpool in the 1960's/70's and 80's the task is just about impossible. Has anyone mentioned Phil Neal who played 453 matches for us and was not a bad penalty taker either. As for me I have given up trying to pick my top 11.
I know me and si picked a very similar 11 Bill but it doesn't strike me as odd.
We are the same age ( I believe) so grew up watching the same players as fans..
I read the question to be the 11 you have watched.. So as much as I understand the importance and love for the likes of Billy Liddell, Phil Neal, St John, Souness, Clem and even the like of Albert Stubbins they all pre dated me in terns of watching them.
It doesn't suprise me that me and Si had similar sides, I remember watching from the mid 80s on, 86 to be exact so I had that team, the late 80s Kenny side which a fair few of my side are in, that's probably the best side I've watched, then the early 90s Souness sides, Roy Evans, Gerard Houllier, Rafa Benitez, Kenny again, Brendan's tricky reds and that other fella..
An all time favorite of my time watching those and Si as well it doesn't suprise me we at every similar, yet I fully understand a gentleman of your generation wouldn't think twice about say Didi.. Yet in my time Didi was such a sound bloke and good player he gets in..
If we all picked an all time 11 over our history it would probably be very similar.
Anyway I just took it as half hour to stop worrying about the title than something else to get wound up about
