Very true! Barnes is probably my favourite player of all time but Gerrard has been a one man wrecking machine at times for us, some of the goals he has scored have been ridiculous, like the last minute equaliser in the cup final. Kaboooom!!!!

dalglish was the icing on the cake in the glory years of LFC and did a lot off the pitch , but souness was the enforcer the driving force in all those teams that conquered england and europe for me the greatest captain and the greatest midfielder in the clubs history

my answer would be ian rush. simply because goals win games and no one has scored more. our history is so filled with legends and greats that it's so hard to pick, so i just tried to think of it in the most simple terms.

From what I have watched: Dalglish, Gerrard, Rush, Keagan, Souness, Barnes, Fowler in that order for me. Fowler could have been further ahead if only the start of his career, but I am considering his whole career with us.

Kenny Dalglish for me, though there are at least ten contenders.

sorry could never put Gerrard up there with Dalglish, Souness or Barnes, Gerrard was always going to look good alongside rubbish, if he had signed for Chelsea when he probably should of he would not of shone as brightly alongside other good players like Lampard, Drogba and Essien's e.t.c. bit like Charlie Adam when he was at Blackpool, he was only decent at best but alongside some of the poor players at Blackpool he looked world class, this proves my point.

It's proves nothing. Mourinho wanted him at Chelsea and Real, plus there are a bunch of decent players that said he's awesome. You must be talking about Jimmy Gerrard from your pub team.

I have never said Gerrard is not a good player, what I am saying is if you put a very good player in a team full of poor to average ones he will always stick out and look head and shoulders above the rest in the team, this is why I could never put Gerrard against Liverpool greats who played and still shone alongside other great players.

You compared him to Charlie Adam playing for us. Says a lot really.

And it's not like we've always had average players, Machetano, Alonso and Torres were great players along side Agger, Hypia, Benayoun and Kuyt who were also very good, he was still a stand out player. And when he made it to the CL final TWICE, he obviously wasn't playing alongside average players and was the star.

if you read the post properly you will see I used Charlie Adam as an example of how a player always looks better than whats around him and will always look better than he actualy is. You cant seriously be putting players like Benayoune, Torres, Agger and Kuyt alongside players like Souness, Hansen, Lawrenson, Ray Kennedy, Case, Dalglish and Rushie are you because there was no way Gerrard if he played in that team would shine as brightly as he does alongside those players you just said.
