[@isse93Z]

The one that confuses me is Evra, honestly that guy played In 5 cl finals. Sure he only won 1 but he played in 3 finals against arguably 3 greatest versions of Barcelona of all time. In addition he played in Euros finals. He was the most gifted left back technically in PL era. Sure Robertson has more assist but it’s partly due to the fact that klopp uses a system where assist are more coming from fullbacks than central midfield. But in terms of ball handling in tight spots, press resistance Evea is the best PL era left back. Robertson is great but I think he is more a system player due to klopps way of using left backs which put in crosses all the time. But in my opinion in terms raw footballing ability Evra is even ahead of Ahshly Cole.

[@UrAverageInvestor.]

Agree, Evra it’s has to be. Would it not be for what is most likely most unlucky draw in Cl finals this guy would have had like 4 cl gold medals. How do you even manage to time the finals against Messi, Xavi and Iniesta on three different occasion 😂

Point is that since the inception of EPL, Liverpool have 0 shouts apart from Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and one single season of Luis Suarez to talk until now. Manchester United was on the top for 2 decades, they won everything possible multiple time, they played more games than any Liverpool player except Carragher and Gerrard, they had more goals, and more years as the best. Unlike Man Utd, not a single player except Gerrard and Suarez gets into the current team while in case of Manchester United you have 3 full stacked teams who would still completely wipe the teams even today in their prime.

Only thing I don't agree with is Evra over Robertson. Robbo epitomizes what a modern fullback is with an insane work rate, stamina over the roof, offers so much going forward and tracks back when needed. How people hype up Kyle Walker is how Robbo is at LB.

[@ankurbagai1056]

VVD had good 3 seasons, 2 best seasons... Vidic had more. TAA isn't even a RB, half of the people consider him as a Midfielder, and he plays midfield for England, hence Gary Nev. We talk about EPL, and we talk Gerrard, a guy who couldn't even one 1 shouldn't be talked about, for me it should be either Michael Carrick or David Beckham or Ryan Giggs.

[@kylegill4932]

If it really was an all time eleven you’d struggle to get even three Utd legends in. Clemence in goal…… Phil neal, Alan hanson, Bobby Charlton and Alan Kennedy in the defence. A midfield of souness, Callahan with salah and barnes on the wings. Kenny daglish and George best up front.
