Maggie thatcher: Paul scholes inspired me to create poll tax. He’s that good I knew people would forgive him. It’s also why Argentina wanted the falklands- its where Paul holidays.

Hitler: I only started the war as cover to try and get Paul scholes, I knew this because of my time machine.

Donald Trump: he’s an aryan great, well kind of, he’s ginger but he’s marvellous, I’d have won the election if I had him.

Jordan Henderson: who is he? Excuse me I have to park my car in this disabled spot.

I do think Salah is a tad underrated by many. He's broken all kinds of records and his numbers are insane.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s a world class player. I don’t think that can be contested. Comfortably one of the top ten players in the world over the last four years.

I’m actually struggling to think of another PL side that has ever contained so many world class players. Not the United sides of 1998-2000 or 2008-10, for sure. Not quite I’d say the City sides of the past five years. Chelsea 2005/6? Still probably not.

Klopp may have more elite superstars at his disposal than any previous PL manager I reckon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Really?

Scholes
Giggs
Ferdinand
Vidic
VDS
Evra
Ronaldo
Rooney

And personally I think Carrick has a shout but didn’t want him to detract attention from the original point.

Very top tier all at the same time?

2007/9 we probably had VDS, Ferdinand, Ronaldo and arguably Rooney and Vidic. Scholes and Giggs were past their peaks, Giggs in particular.

That squad was a better squad than Liverpool have now, but I can’t count six WC players in there.

All a matter of opinion, of course.

Not a popular choice with many, but I’d say Neymar has been one of the best players this past decade. A lot of people just can’t look past his gamesmanship and also forget that the fact he’s had the shiiit kicked out of him has forced him to miss out on the business end of the season several times.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not for me. So over rated. Watched him a lot in particular last season in the CL and he was awful for PSG. A very good player no doubt, but no way is Neymar top 10. If you offered me Neymar for Harry Kane, I wouldn’t even flinch.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not his biggest fan either Don but I can't deny his talent and would have him above Salah at least. Would struggle to get into a top 15 though.

No way would you swap Neymar for Kane though Spurtle. I think most fans would have Harry Kane over Neymar.

Salah 3rd And how can you have a Player of the Century award after 20 years out of a 100 ffs

CR7's statue will look better.

Personally I think only Giggs off that list wasn't a world class player from 06-08.

Liverpool at the moment probably have:

Alison
Trent
VVD
Robertson
Thiago
Salah
Mane

I think from United you'd go:

Ronaldo
Rio
VDS
Vidic
Rooney
Evra

Each of those players were among the best in their position at the time, without question. Carrick, Scholes & Tevez not too far behind.

For Liverpool I'd go:

Allison
Robertson
VVD
TAA
Salah
Thiago

Fabinho & Mane not too far behind them. I think it's pretty equal, frankly. Mane maybe makes the initial list - I had him in there and then removed him again. I mean, we're splitting hairs aren't we?
