      I'm throwing Danny Murphy into the overrated squad now for the same reasons as I put Carra and Crouch. He really thinks of himself far too highly for somebody who wasn't much cop if we're being honest, the odd goal at Old Trafford aside.

      And I'm sticking Stig Inge Bjornebye in the underrated just because I F***ing loved him. He probably isn't underrated in fairness, he's probably viewed by most as what he was - a decent, solid left back but not much more than that. But I loved Stig. He's the first player I instantly think of when I see that old cream kit we had in the 90s.

      With you ok both counts. I'd have Murphy there purely on his sh*te punditry alone.

      And Stig was a favourite of mine as well as a teenager.

      Danny Murphy was a cult hero just for the winners against the Mancs. other than that yes he was a pretty average footballer, no wonder Rafa sold him when he became the manager.

      Riise better than Bjornebye no?

      Stig far better player for me.

      I only saw Stig end of his career at Liverpool. I've seen Riise more.

      I preferred Stig to Riise, in fact I had Riise in my overrated 11. Like Murphy, a few goals against United don't hide the fact that Riise was average for most of his Liverpool career.

      John Arne Riise: a man who would rather score an own goal, that attempt to swing his right leg at an incoming ball....

      https://youtu.be/Y_AH7U80a9A?si=SV_hOENnL36-eC0w

      MOTD was made for players like Riise. Some great goals with that left peg, but the rest of his play? Nah...

      Steve Finnan. Maybe more understated than underrated. Steady eddy personified. I honestly don't know what he does now -- gardener?

      Naby Keita would go straight into my overrated team. Came absolutely nowhere near living up to his reputation as one of the Bundesliga's leading lights, partly through injury, partly also because in my opinion he just didn't meet the challenge required despite being blessed with natural ability.

      Finnan was definitely underrated compared the sh*te RBs we had at our disposal back then (remember Jan Kromkamp????), we never properly replaced Finnan until Trent showed up.

      He was Mr. Solid.

      Naby Keita flopped, was not suited to the the PL and didn't even try to learn the language, no wonder Klopp didn't rate him later.

      Both were not "great" full backs.

      But had their moments!

      Some outlandish sh*t being written in this thread.

      Owen wishes he was born with half the talent Suarez has. Also not Suarez"s fault his manager was a joke, the captain was nearly finished, the Goalie and defence were sh*te and the midfield included the Welsh Xavi. :lmao:

      Suarez literally carried that team on his back in 2014.

      Not saying Owen was better than Suarez. He is the finest, most gifted player to have ever played for Liverpool. It's just that at the end of the day Owen won us the trophies on the day. He supercharged Houllier's side like nothing else. Suarez could have done what Owen did and 10 times more in terms of the greatness ranks if he had chosen to stay with us. But he didn't. So F**k him.



      ;D

      "F**k off Suarez, F**k off Suarez"

      That's what we sung in the kop that night lid ;)

      F**k Owen too the way he fu**ed off to Madrid.

      If we're talking goalscorers that won trophies then no one is touching Rushy.

      Mo Salah is getting there, I think he should be considered one of our best players ever. At least to me greater than Suarez, Owen and Torres.

      Will be easily due to his goals and being part of the team that won the league

      Probably end within our top 3 record goalscorers
