For most of us it will be difficult to compare - we were either not born or just too young. For those who experienced it or had elders telling about the team, which is better?
Unless you were born in the early 70s, its going to be difficult to remember. I was very much in the single digit in 88. I bet most posters were well after 1988.Lol, too young! Do one.
What complicates the choice is that the 1988 version of a number of those players might not make the cut whereas their best, earlier versions definitely would. I'm thinking principally of the King and Rushy, who in their prime would HAVE to play up front. Virgil's so toweringly good that I guess he has to be in there now, but Lawrenson was such an outstanding partner for Jocky that the choice would still be far from easy.
BTW there's no way Trent gets in at RB ahead of Stevie Nicol, who was equally good going forward and - thus far at any rate - unquestionably the better defender.
Wasn't Rush in Italy in 88?What complicates the choice is that the 1988 version of a number of those players might not make the cut whereas their best, earlier versions definitely would.

Brucie
Ablett Hansen Gillespie Nico
Houghton McMahaon Spackman Barnes
Beardsly Aldridge
Molby in jail, Whelan injured, otherwise either one of them would replace Spackers

Steve Nicol is my all time favorite Liverpool player, whether he was at right back, left back, center back or midfield
