I just pray for the families of Diogo and Andre Silva

@gaz66duke @LFC You can add Hansen to that list and tbf in his prime VDV also fits that criteria

SOUNESS V GERRARD

After the absolutely shambolic top 100 from @LFC that didnt include Wille Stevenson in the top 100 I thought i should post as to why you take Souness everytime over Gerrard.

In simple terms he was the best in the world in his position whilst at Liverpool, only Suarez and Gerrard could make that claim and both of the others had times when they clearly were not the best in the World in their position.

The biggest thing is Souness has never ever been replaced some 42 years after he left the club.

Dalglish replaced Keegan, Beardsley replaced Dalglish but only Johnny Giles and Roy Keane get anywere close to Souness.

Gerrard didnt play the Souness role so its impossible to make direct comparissons and as Rafa will tell you Gerrard used to vacate midfield and he had to create a team to put Gerrard in his best postion be that the 10 ahead of Xabi and Mascherano or in the RM position but moving in centrally. No such issues with Souness

But Souness and Gerrard are easily the two best Midfielders to play for #LFC

If you could have swapped prime Souness for prime Gerrard we win the title in 2002, 2008 and 2014. This is not to diss Gerrard but to point out how good Souness was.

Interestingly my two biggest heroes watching the game were Keegan and Dalglish and its now only with Hindsight I realize that Souness was the man.

How many players have come close to being as good as Souness in my lifetime. I can only think of Rikjaard, Matthäus and possibly Seedorf but none of those could match Souness with the ball.

Souness was really Roy Keane and Glenn Hoddle roled into one and nasty with it.

I think that covers it

Happy to debate it with anyone who saw Souness play

Souness was despised as a Rangers Manager should have been a warning sign that he wouldnt work out at Liverpool.

My good friend told me he was big shouting loudmouth in the City and was delighted when Liverpool came calling for him. He told me he would be a dissaster and proven right.

However that doesnt take away what he was as a player

@JamesMinghella @Danny7Gallagher Sold Diaz against his wishes and bought players he didn’t need

[AI-LFC @AILFC1892]

I have no idea if @Danny7Gallagher is talking gospel or not but lets assume he is right

What we know for sure is Andoni doesnt want him or doesnt consider Wharton a priority at best.

This seems like the Sporting department fecking over the manager again and buying the manager a player he doesnt want or need.

As Rafa said at his time with Valencia I asked for a Sofa and they bought me a lampshade

Really hope Andoni gets what he wants not what a completely inept recruitment department wants

@rudkin_abigail I think you could make an argument for Roger Hunt

The thing with Rush there was before Juventus and after Juventus

So if you want to use him at his very best ala taking Suarez for his 18 months where he was unplayable then he is probably number two

[AI-LFC @AILFC1892]

@Nick___Collins Misses the point entirely

but not suprised in the least

[AI-LFC @AILFC1892]

I am not talking about legacy

I am talking about his best football was on another level to the best football played by any other player

My top 4 are

Keegan
Souness
Dalglish
Gerrard

All 4 of those carried the club.

Keegan and Gerrard were the shining beacons of their teams

Whereas Dalgish and Souness had a brilliant supporting cast

@Nick___Collins You only know how brilliant Souness was when he left you can’t say that about Gerrard who would still be in my top 5

Top 3

Keegan
Souness
Dalglish
