Steve Nicol isn't on their list of options so for that reason I'm out. I'm not even 100% sure I was going to pick him but I would have liked to have the option.

Kenny and Rushie are the first names on the teamsheet.    I'm all for freedom of speech but picking a greatest Liverpool team and not picking our greatest ever player or our greatest ever go

Rob Jones wouldn’t get in my top five Liverpool right backs. 
 

Neal

Nicol

Trent

Babbel

Lawler

 

I fear I’m fighting a losing battle here. Luckily I have ‘being right’ on my side.

 

All very good players though. Can’t really offer an opinion on Lawler as I never saw him play live. 
 

Nicol’s the one on this list that makes me think again. Probably misses out, for me, for being so good in so many other positions as well but that’s a bit harsh on him. 
 

Trent could well get there, just not quite yet for me.

Certain players from the past just wouldn't fit into a 4-3-3 system and the team would be far too imbalanced and have a lack of width, why I went for a 4-4-2 and had to leave out so many good players.

You’re wrong. It’s not even close.

Rush wouldn’t be best suited to a wide forward role, in my opinion.

I’ve taken a liberty playing Barnes on the right but I reckon he could do it. 
 

He loved bending one in from 25 yards with his right foot, pretty sure he’d have got more with his left.

Ray Clemence (1967-81). 665/0. League title (5) - 1973, 1976, 1977, 1979, 1980. European Cup (3) - 1977, 1978, 1981. Uefa Cup (2) - 1973, 1976. FA Cup (1) - 1974. League Cup (1) - 1981.

A key member of the Bob Paisley era, he went on to win five league titles and three European Cups in the space of eight years in the 1970s and early 1980s.

 

Phil Neal (1974-85). 650/59. League title (8) - 1976, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986. European Cup (4) - 1977, 1978, 1981, 1984. Uefa Cup (1) - 1976. League Cup (4) - 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984.

The most decorated player in the club's history, winning 22 pieces of silverware in the space of 11 glorious years. A trusted full-back, he made a record 365 consecutive league appearances between December 1974 and September 1983.

 

Alan Hansen (1977-91). 620/14. League title (8) - 1979, 1980, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1990. European Cup (3) - 1978, 1981, 1984. FA Cup (2) - 1986, 1989. League Cup (4) - 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984.

Captained the Reds to their first - and so far only - Double in 1986 and widely regarded as one of the most skilful centre-halves in British football history.

 

Phil Thompson (1971-84). 477/13. League title (7) - 1973, 1976, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1982, 1983. European Cup (3) - 1977, 1978, 1981. Uefa Cups (2) - 1973, 1976. FA Cup (1) - 1974. League Cup (2) - 1981, 1982.

A lifelong Red from Kirkby who went from skippering the youth team to captaining Paisley's side to European Cup glory in Paris in 1981.

 

Emlyn Hughes (1967-79). 665/49. League title (4) - 1973, 1976, 1977, 1979. European Cup (2) - 1977, 1978. Uefa Cup (2) - 1973, 1976. FA Cup (1) - 1974.

Although he was the first Liverpool captain to lift the European Cup, his contribution went beyond that and was an archetypal Shankly player, matching skill with boundless enthusiasm and battling qualities.

 

Graeme Souness (1978-84). 359/55. League title (5) - 1979, 1980, 1982, 1983, 1984. European Cup (3) - 1978, 1981, 1984. League Cup (3) - 1982, 1983, 1984.

A gritty, fearless operator who captained the team to 1984 European Cup glory.

 

Ian Callaghan (1959-78). 857/68. League title (5) - 1964, 1966, 1973, 1976, 1977. European Cup (2) - 1977, 1978. Uefa Cup (2) - 1973, 1976. FA Cup (2) - 1965, 1974.

Made more appearances for the club than anyone else, and was with the Reds through their rise from the second tier to the summit of European football.

 

Steve Heighway (1970-81). 475/76. League title (4) - 1973, 1976, 1977, 1979. European Cup (2) - 1977, 1978. Uefa Cup (2) - 1973, 1976. FA Cup (1) - 1974. League Cup (1) - 1981.

A powerful presence down the left wing, winning 10 major trophies during 11 years.

 

Steven Gerrard (1998-2015). 710/186. Champions League (1) - 2005. Uefa Cup (1) - 2001. FA Cup (2) - 2001, 2006. League Cup (3) - 2001, 2003, 2012.

An iconic figure who arguably competes with Dalglish for the title of the greatest to wear the red shirt.

 

Kenny Dalglish (1977-90). 515/172. League title (6) - 1979, 1980, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986. European Cup (3) - 1978, 1981, 1984. FA Cup (1) - 1986. League Cup (4) - 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984.

The heart and soul of Liverpool having served as both a player and a manager. A genius with the ball at his feet, "King Kenny" was a key member of the all-conquering red machine in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

 

Ian Rush (1980-87 & 1988-96). 660/346. League title (5) - 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1990. European Cup (2) - 1981, 1984. FA Cup (3) - 1986, 1989, 1992. League Cup (5) - 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1995.

The club's record scorer who helped the Reds dominate English football in the 1980s. Armed with electric pace and an eagle-eye, the Wales striker struck fear into opposition defenders.

Unbelievable quality in all those players, you could easily take some out and put others in and find it hard to disagree. Went for the players who have had the biggest impact for the longest periods of time and achieved the most in the game. For that reason, the current crop of players don't make it. That shows how many great players have played for this team.
