Who were the LFC players you thought could create from no where moments of utter magic? For me Barnes, Beardsley, Fowler Gerrard, Suarez, Alonso and Molby.

Robbie, Gerrard, Suarez, Owen, Berger, Torres
Suarez. No one else comes even close. Probably the best player ever in the league doing that. Created magic in game after game. Every game he created his magic stuff. We the fans got used to it. We knew that we again would see more magic from Suarez.
Some players delivers it from time to time but Suarez is the only one that done it in every game. You shouldn't be able to do that. It should be impossible to deliever in every game but Suarez showed that it is not impossible.

Honourable mention for Luis Garcia! He was very frustrating at times, but popped up with a string of magic moments during the Champions League run in '05 (that header against Juventus!)
It's a shame he wasn't more consistent, he really could have gone on to be a true great for us.

They're all young boys here... ;-)
Gerrard wasn't so much "magic" as a one-man pyrotechnics display. I did quite enjoy watching Alan Hansen mug off defenders. Not many players can make a crowd laugh, which I'm pretty sure happened on occasion with Jocky, as he shimmied and strolled past some busybody striker trying to close him down. Silly fellow.
Kenny
Keegan
Fowler
Barnes
Torres
Suarez
Heighway
Souness and if I include him Gerrard
In no particular order

The King had the skill and the vision to create openings not only for himself but also for others with those little bits of magic. Suarez is the most outrageously gifted individual I've seen in a Liverpool shirt, and worked his nuts off for the team alongside that, but the King brought the two together.
Luis Suarez was always the player I had the most faith in creating 'magic', by just doing something so jaw-droppingly good nobody else would even think of it, let alone attempt it.
The same applies to Gerrard, although it was slightly different. I had faith in him getting any sort of goal. Header, toe-poke, worldy 35 yard screamer when we really needed it.
Garcia is in the same vein as Luis Suarez, although to a much lesser extent.
Someone who hasn't been mentioned is Peter Crouch. He scored some weirdly mental goals during his time here.

Mignolet. He waves his arms and the score increases by one. Except during penalty shootouts. Then somehow, he does different magical stuff.
Finally found, one player capable of moments of utter negative magic 😱
McManaman is a bit like Torres in that his obvious brilliance is now underplayed to a large extent because he left under a cloud.
...and because the pair of them switched off at least a season before they actually left.

Owen, Michael.
Mascherano, Javier.
Funny that Suarez is exempt though, just shows what influence outrageous talent has.
True as far as it goes, but there's more to it than that. He, Masher and Owen at least gave full value as long as they did wear the shirt.
