Does your thinking mean Paul walsh is more of a legend than gerrard because he won the league? I personaly think Paul Walsh and Suarez games are as one myself, little to choose between the two, Suarez goal return this season has been very good tho...

Now you really are pulling our string. Walshy was a decent player but not in the same league as Suarez.

So Steven Gerrard isn't a club Legend? [/quote]in my criteria not as much as some, think him and Carragher are both recent cult heroes just like Fowler, but as in gigantic Club legends I would'nt put Gerrard ahead of your Dalglish, Souness, Jimmy Case, Ray Kennedy, Ray Clemence, Phil Neal, Alan Kennedy, Alan Hansen, Mark Lawrenson e.t.c. for the simply fact as he has'nt achieved as much in a Liverpool shirt as those players, thats why I think calling Suarez a legend after one good season is a complete joke... [/quote]
Whilst I agree with you that Suarez is far from a club legend, i think there is a lot more to be a legend than just winning titles and trophies. Unfortunatley players can't choose which players they play with and if they are constantly playing with lesser talented players who collectively don't have the ability to win multiple titles and trophies then that's not their fault. I would say that Gerrard is a club legend because of the devotion and commitment he has shown to the club. Not only this, he on many occassions, has lifted an average side to victory against all odds, lead the club with pride and honour and I would say, on most occassions, gives his all for the red shirt of LFC. He has also scored in nearly every final he played in and many of those goals have elevated us to victory as well. So to me, his performances, commitment and passion for the club over his career puts him in the same bracket as some of the players you mention above.

if in summer (fingers crossed it doesn't happen) suarez gets sold, would you class him as a club legend after only 2 and a half seasons? do you think he is up there with are best ever strikers eg, torres and rush? He's one of my favourite players of recent times but is a long way off being a legend. He's been excellent so far this season though but let's not forget how wasteful he was last season when most people were criticisng him for needing 10 chances for each goal. To call someone a legend after half a season of brilliance is a bit insulting to players who have earned legendary status after 5-10 years of conistency.

To call someone a legend after half a season of brilliance is a bit insulting to players who have earned legendary status after 5-10 years of conistency. have to agree with these points especialy the ones about it being insulting to true legends, I think it's just very sad that a player can play well for one season and straight away be called a legend, modern fans I guess bit like them calling a player world class after a performance rather than a level reached. I think it's also insulting to past true legends when a player such as Suarez is talked in the same breath as Hansen, Emlyn, Lawro and Rushie e.t.c. Who all towed the line, behaved themselves and never brought shame on the Club like Suarez did, surely this plays a part in judging a legend too...

is luis sarez in the same legend status as keegan, hunt,dalglish ,liddell,fowler or owen ????? yes luis hew has a great season but last season he didnt yes a top player on his day . still baffles me how you can call somebody a legend for us when they have'nt even won the League, there are some great, great Liverpool players won three, four and even five League titles and still not earned the tag legend yet fans want to give it to a mercenery player, who has damaged the clubs reputation and has only had one good season a legend, like I say all about opinions. I will throw a name into the hat as a Club legend who does'nt get the recognised as much as he should " James Robert Case " 4 League titles, 1 U.E.F.A Cup, 3 European Cups, 1 League Cup and 1 Super Cup now come back and tell me Luis Suarez should be put on the same level as him with his one good season under his belt, I would'nt even put Gerrard ahead of Jimmy Case as a Legend myself and Jimmy was a true local lad... What exactly do you mean by the last line?

Well we all know she takes a step back, sees what the overall opinion is and then she takes the opposite view, for kicks.
