​@Josh G as far as whole careers go sure but you can't throw players who had a couple good years in an all time XI. Because then if they don't replicate those performances that taints the legacy. If someone comes to the Prem, breaks the goal record then leaves they'll have a better legacy than someone that comes to the Prem breaks the record then doesn't play to that level again. Suarez benefits from that bias. He didn't achieve nearly enough in the Premier League to be considered for an all time XI. Drogba would be my choice for striker.

The idea of Čech vs Alisson needing to be debated is laughable. Alisson has had four seasons in the Prem that don't come close to Čech's first five seasons, he's had one 80% saves vs SoT season in his entire career at Roma and only one above 75% in the Prem. Čech was the best goalie in the Prem and arguably the world in an era when it was harder to stand out, after a traumatic brain injury as well. Liverpool can get away with lesser quality between the posts because their system (and brilliance in executing it) ensures the ball is mostly kept in the other half. Čech would have not only faced more chances closer to his goal but from better goalscorers too. Even fairly recently in his last two seasons (at age 35/36) he faced higher quality chances as illustrated by his higher PSxG/SoT, and that was his only season that barely dropped below the 70% save rate that Alisson is struggling to just average above in his prime. Even better, Čech was still performing at a higher level in his first two seasons at Arsenal. It's objectively not even worth discussing.

[@alansouthall8221]

In the modern game Allison is by far the better keeper. Distribution is much more important, cech and de gea are maybe the best of the old generation of keepers. They aren't wanted by clubs now

[@Anonymous-xr8hx]

​@Faqih Abdurrahman people like you need people like us to put 'big games that will trophies' into context for you because its not as easy as just looking up their stats and thinking the one with better stats was the better player. So many people who weren't around to watch them play inform themselves in this was and it leads to disrespect on so many players. I can't give you stats but I can try and explain it to you. Before Drogba and Mourinho most teams in the PL played with 2 strikers. Then they came and Drogba did everything himself. He was the focal point of Chelsea's attack. His holdup play, awareness and ability to bring his teammates into play was unbelievable. Its about the technical aspects of the game. The keeper or defence could kick it up the pitch and Drogba's first touch and control was just perfect. He did it all by himself and that allowed Mourinho to pack the midfield so it was 3 against 2 most games. All these things Drogba did helped them win games. And that's all football is about. It's not about boosting your own stats and waiting for tap ins. It's about getting results and winning trophies. And the things he did made Chelsea really hard to beat for years. He didn't need to score as Man as other strikers because he was doing so much in the buildup to goals. Making runs, occupying both CBs and creating space for teammates etc. To add to it all when his team really needed a goal, he was the one that always scored. It wasn't luck because he did it for years. He scored in like 10 different cup finals (one of them obviously being at the end of the Champions League final in 2012). And he was constantly scoring in the big Premier League games (ask any Arsenal fan that was around at the time seriously). And in that 09/10 season where he got 29 goals and 13 assists in 32 games (37 and 16 in 44 all comps) so many of them came against the big 6. Like a ridiculous number. It's hard for people who didn't watch him because they can't just look up the stats and decide but there's a reason he has the reputation he does and there's a reason he's put on a pedestal with players with much better stats.

[@loganwilliams7635]

Drogba scored 29 goals in 30 games in the prem back in 2011 I think, also scored in the champions league and FA cup multiple times. Edit: Just checked it was in 2009/10 and he scored 29 goals and 13 assists in 32 games, he also had more goals per minute than Suarez in his best season. im not trying to say he had a better season but it is pretty comparable.

How Xabi alonso Robbie Fowler mancherano and Ian rush didn't make it (Ian rush played in 1993-94 season so it's count as he played in the premier league)

[@brentmeistergeneral6074]

In that case, I’d stick Barnes in midfield!

It’s about stats until it’s a conversation about lampard and Gerrard😂

[@OSCARFROG]

Stats is all lampard has because in regards to pure footballing ability lampard lives in Gerrards shadow

[@lk7923]

@@OSCARFROG same applies to Hazard and Salah

[@DS-dw3pz]

​@@lk7923 yeah Hazard was miles above Salah...and also the way he carried his team was unbelievable

[@darraghkenny903]

Drogba or Suarez? Consistency was brought up as an argument for drogba. He was a big game player that didn’t score as consistently as Suarez That’s why I’d choose Suarez

[@Vahapetautus]

Suarez scored 0.63 goals a game, assisted 0.21 a game. Drogba scored 0.40 goals a game and assisted 0.22 a game. Suarez clearly ahead. Better at everything except headers and even then he was very good at headers. Considering the teams they were in as well. Drogba is idolised and overrated.

Take the whole Chelsea XI and put Gerrard and Salah in there, done.

The liverpool d riders in British media is crazy

[@alistairstewart9975]

As a Chelsea fan I think Drogba and Hazard have to be in this team! I'm Old Skool and have supported Chelsea from the 80s and can't believe the bias towards Sauarz on this!

[@thelargegirth473]

suarez is in the debate for greatest striker to ever grace the game, drogba is not even close. Suarez is miles clear and if you disagree you need to see a doctor

@@thelargegirth473 Are You Stupid, its pl 11 not world 11.i agree with you on Suarez greatest striker of Spanish league or even world but he is not greatest of pl.

[@redmengoals3295]

Not even gonna lie it’s debatable that since 2010 Suarez has been the 3rd best player

[@Connor_JR]

Suarez is probably the best striker to ever play in the prem, on pure ability (could argue Henry.) What goes against him is that he only played 3 and a half seasons and the team he was in was awful. Remember in 13/14 he missed the first 5 games through suspension and scored 31 in 33 without taking a single penalty (and Liverpool had 12 penalties that season). He could have realistically scored 40+ that season under normal circumstances which is bonkers. Also, he scored 30 in 44 games in all comps the year before too, which doesn't get talked about enough because of how good 13/14 was.

@@thelargegirth473 what does that have to do with premier league legacy? You judge them by their premier league legacy, not their overall career.
