No Gerrard?
----------------------------------------------------------------------



I'm shocked that TOOR has a Liverpool player at number one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who would you have? Where is your list?

There are only three positions I would have a Liverpool player at number one. RB, CM and CB.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I find that hard to believe.

I assume Gerrard is also in the top ten players of all time as well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Believe what you want.

All time, impossible to say, considering I'm only 35.

Last 20 years, yeah, I'd say so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well yes, we know what you think about recent times - you think that Gerrard is the best player this century aside from Messi and Ronaldo.

So it's reasonable to follow on and ask if you think he's in the top ten of all time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't give a proper answer as I haven't watched all the players of all time. I'm not sure what you want me to say.

Would love to see how Terry, Carvalho, Rio & Vidic perform with Lovren next to them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lovren has barely played this season
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And last time he played, they lost 3-0 at Watford.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
My point exactly. Had Lovren not played that game we could talking about an unbeaten league campaign
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lovren is an easy scapegoat, there were players more at fault for the goals that game.

If you don't have an answer that is fine, I was just interested.

If we started a thread asking for people's top ten players of all time, I'm sure many people would contribute.

But not you, of course.

Stam
Ferdinand
Terry
Vidic
VVD
Kompany
Carvalho
Radebe
Campbell
Woodgate (would have been top 5 but for injuries)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I would contribute but normally if I did, I'd just go on what I heard and wouldn't include any modern players in, perhaps Messi and Ronaldo, at a push. It wouldn't exactly be accurate. Not like Gerrard in the top three of the last twenty years.

Prime yes but not PL. He was 29 when he moved to Chelsea.

"Not like Gerrard in the top three of the last twenty years"



I thought you might go away and realise what you'd done TOOR, given the reaction.

Funny stuff.

Just trying to think of a top ten... Best, Charlton, Pele, Eusebio, Maradona, Cruyff, di Stefano, Ronaldo, Messi...

... and Gerrard.

Who's the number one RB from Liverpool?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult to imagine Charlton being better than Gerrard in central midfield but again that's why I can't do the list as I've only seen a small amount of footage. Seen loads of footage of Best so I would put him in. Pele, I'm not so sure since he only played in Brazil? Can't argue with the others but again mostly based on small amounts of footage.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that would be the current best right back in the world of course.

posted on 11/5/20

Why is it difficult to imagine, TOOR?

Because it's difficult for you to imagine anyone being better than Gerrard in midfield, I assume?

Incredible levels of delusion.

Anyway, I won't derail the thread - will just have a chuckle to myself.

posted on 11/5/20

I think Branislav Ivanovic is the best RB in PL history.

posted on 11/5/20

TAA is the best right back of all time, after only three full seasons.



Sorry, couldn't resist.

Just shows how little you know about football if you don't think Trent is the best RB of all time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It does indeed

Yep, I've never seen a midfielder as good as Gerrard, who had it all.

I didn't say he was the best right back of all time.

That is Cafu for me. He was unbelievable the way he got up and down, constantly the whole game.

However that's not to say TAA won't surpass him, he's certainly on the way to doing that.

He's certainly in with a shout. I rate him highly. Although it did always feel like he was a centre back, playing right back, particular on the ball, which he was great moving with but not great using it.

Didn't say you did - I was joking around.

Although you'd probably have him in your top three.

Nah. I wouldn't put a player who has played only a few seasons as top three of all time. The PL I do it as probably the best right back of the PL era is Gary Neville, before TAA came along.

I said it before but I used to laugh at the idea that Neville was the best PL right back ever until somebody ask me to name a better one. I couldn't, so I do think it is probably the weakest position of the PL era and therefore a couple of world class seasons from a young full back is enough to be called the best right back of the PL era. I don't remember any other right back being nominated for the worlds best player and getting in UEFA's team of the year.

So it's acceptable to say that TAA is the best right back from the last 30 years but not the last 90 years, because of seasons played?

Work that one out if you can...
