ya lor , for that what North what Fury team .
reina is definitely not up there with bruce grobbelaar yet. bruce was really good and help liverpool won many titles. Not counting the seasons where bruce was older. Bruce wins hands down.
Ian rush has played more seasons and scored more goals. Torres is good but he is only here for 2 seasons. It remains to be seen whether torres can maintain his form, fitness and stay injury free. Ian rush wins.
John barnes is obviously better than alonso. Alonso showed a lot of promises but seldom deliver. John barnes would beat mascherano too. In terms of statistics, john barnes have done better.
Steven gerrard is better than mahon... Without him, liverpool may not be able to win the champions league in 2005. Champions of the world for 1 year. Not many clubs get to enjoy that.

nope ...
Originally posted by marcteng:hey poolman, you haven say who is your favourite liverpool player of all time?
Mine is John Barnes, you leh?
Has to be Alan Hansen .
He;s always cool under pressure , he's Scottish , he's commanding , he's always in control .
He is an example of a true professional , needs no tough tackling , needs no be dirty .. just good vision can prevent goals !
I saw a similiarity in Hyypia & Hansen .
Alan Hansen is England's first sweeper . Liverpool adopted this sweeper system and rock the league back in the early 80's .
Sweeper as in 5 defenders .... 3 centre-halves . When Grobbelaar rools the ball to Hansen , Mark Lawrenson or Gary Gillespie will stay back , he will slowly bring the ball up into midfield and starts the attacking from midfield .
And when defending , Alan Hansen will pull slightly back into that last man's position .
Opponents must go past Lawrenson , and u need to get past Hansen , then Grobbelaar to score goals .
Originally posted by marcteng:poolman, where is your best XI of all time also? didnt see you post your XI yet
I really dun have one ...
This is all-time greatest players ...
Reina / Clemence
Alan Kennedy / Ray Kennedy / Sammy Lee / Nicol
Ronnie Whelan / Souness / Kevin Mcdonald / Jimmy Case / Terry Mcdermott / Kevin Keegan / Hamaan / Biscan
Hansen , Hysen , Pechnik , Gillespie .
Dalglish , Rush , Aldridge . Fowler . Barnes . Bearsley .
Liverpool were the greatest team to adopt to the Triangle Football . Every moves started from three players .
Three players in that zone will support each other and form a Triangle shape , to form a Pass-and-Move momentum .
Liverpool played their most beautiful football during the days they got banned from Europe . 1985 !! After the tragedy at Heysel .
Gerrard , Torres , Hyypia , Carragher will be in my all-time greatest Liverpool team .
I just dunno why , Scottish and Irishmen , usually fare well in LFC .
I loves scottish players ...
Dalglish is scottish ..
Souness is scottish ...
Gillespie is scottish ...
Nicol is scottish ...
Hansen is Scottish ...
John Wark is Scottish ...
Republic of Ireland also produce players good for LFC .. Houghton , Whelan , Beglin , Aldridge .
