As a Liverpool supporter, this makes me appreciate Jürgens work even more. I mean: Bobby, Sadio Mane, Fabinho, Gini. How Klopp elevated them to sheer world class if not best in the world in their positions at some stage and how they struggeled or faded ever since. I mean, how good was this team as a unit that made every individual shine more. Love the memories.

People have forgotten how good konate is. He's had a disruptive season due to injuries but man he has the most difficult role in the team covering his position AND trent's. He shuts down Martinelli with ease and has 13/13 duels won against vinicius in their 3 games against each other. No other defender is that dominant against vini

Putting Diaz behind Shaqiri is crazy

In comparison to Ox, Naby Keita's placement is very harsh. They had a 10-15 million difference in fee and they played the same number of minutes in their LFC careers. Both had runs of good form but were never good, dependable signings. They were similar. Thiago is also in their level

Bearing in mind she moved matip, how can you put klavan and matip in near enough the same spot?

Thiago too high. I would put him to same place as Minamino

It could be argued that VVD had slightly higher peaks than Salah and even then I'd say Salah 2017 -2018 would beat any of Virg's best seasons, but the consistency each season from Salah is what I believe makes him number 1, even when the rest of the team were not at the races and VVD wasn't looking his best post injury, He was carrying hard with goals and Assists. I also believe Allison overall has been more consistent than VVD, and it would be hard to argue against his peaks as he is also considered by many as the best in his position as Virg had been at many points. There is no doubt they are the 3 guys that should be in this discussion, with many others a little behind. Salah - Consistency, Goals and Assists. 2) This is really a toss up both are or have been regarded as the best in their position for a reason, Allison I feel has been more consistent but Virg was the biggest reason Liverpool could play their counter attacking football. 1) Salah. 2) VVD. 3) Allison.

No its not. Salah has been amazing going forward, not just scoring but assisting. For a long time, Liverpool have been struggling for a good goalie. Jursey Dudek was arguably our last finest, but we needed Alison to strengthen the back line, which was missing for so many years. As for VVD, he has that control of the defence, and knows how to instigate the correct attack on the opposition. That has been missed for so many years, since Sami Hyypia and Stephan Henchoz in the early 2000s. We've always had amazing attackers, but it was our defence that let us down.

Minamino was a great signing. He was bought for £7m as a squad player and scored us important goals to win us two trophies. Then sold for a profit.

No one will see this, and comments on this sort of thing are always contentious, but I have had these sorts of discussions with fellow life long fans so many times and for me, our success in the current era had two turning points. The truth is, in my lifetime, from Rush onwards we have always had star goal scorers as good as ballers like Salah, and especially Mane are/were, it's not new. The first sea change was Brendan Rogers getting the ball on the ground again, playing through the mid with shorter passes, control and then pressing. Then later, the players that levelled us up and allowed the tightness and organization came in at the back, Allison and Van Dijk - that is where we got a new level of quality we hadn't seen for a while, that the rest built out of.

I hope we can celebrate every last moment with klopp
