Rank Them

[ILD]

Yep, Salah is definitely the all round better player but Owens finishing, especially in the earlier years, was fucking mustard. Goals v Newcastle and Nottingham Forest (1 v 1) immediately spring to mind. And the one he scored at Newcastle away where he rubbed his hands together. Top notch that one.

He was just back from France ' 98. Scored a hatrick. He was lethal that season.

I loved Owen's trademark finish; bend it around the keeper into far top corner.

Luis Suarez
Fernando Torres
Robbie Fowler

That's just them listed in the order of when they last played for us.

Controversial opinion but, Owen was a better finisher than Salah.

When he went through on goal 1 v 1, you just fucking knew he would score.

Only if he was on his right foot. He was very one footed in his early days (although he was clearly working on it, as he did get better as he got older). He also snatched a lot of shots, often as a consequence of his pace.

He's also the only player on that list to never score more than 20 league goals in a season. Fowler, Suarez, Salah and Torres all had seasons where they scored 30 or more. You could argue he was playing in the most defensive team out of the lot of them, but the entire team was set up around him.

I fucked up Fowler should be ahead of Torres as per:

If we're talking about in their prime, in form, being able to convert chances:

Fowler
Torres
Suarez
Owen
Salah

Suarez was the best footballer out of that list though when he was on it, just took the piss out of everybody and could do everything.

Largely agree, with one glaring exception. After last season Salah goes from the bottom of your list to the top of mine when it comes to converting chances while in top form.

When I've put Salah at the bottom of that list I don't mean he's shit, far from it, you don't get as many goals as he has for us without being quality, but, you'd put him over fowler for finishing?? Prime Fowler??

 

[Whaddapie]

For pure finishing..? God. Torres. Owen. Suarez. Salah.

For pure footballing ability..? Suarez. Salah. Torres. God. Owen.

For importance to the team they were part of..? Suarez. Torres. Salah. Owen. God.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Based on pure ability

Suarez
Torres
Salah
Owen
Fowler

 

[tomasjj]

Suarez is the best player I have seen play for LFC.

No one beats Fowler for finishing.

 

[doctor_mac]

They're all incredible players. I suppose Suarez's all round menace makes him stand out, but all of them have given incredible moments of pleasure. Which of them scored your favourite goal?

 

[tombrown]

Rush

 

[rubans]

Most gutted to see leave us at the time:
Torres
Fowler
Owen
Suarez

 

[gene hughes]

For pure finishing..? God. Torres. Owen. Suarez. Salah.

For pure footballing ability..? Suarez. Salah. Torres. God. Owen.

For importance to the team they were part of..? Suarez. Torres. Salah. Owen. God.

Exactly

 

[Markeh]

I started writing a reply there and gave up, I don't know how to rank them.

All I'm sure of is that if we ignore non footballing matters Suarez is no.1

 

[Irishanfield]

God
Suarez
Torres /salah
Judas Owen

 

[RedStar]

Salah
Fowler
Suarez

Robbie's finishing was more consistently deadly over his career as a whole but, bearing in mind that you specified "in prime form", yes I would. When did Robbie (whom I loved as we all did) have a season like Mo's first one?

95-96? Was that when he hit that hattrick vs the arse? He was unreal that season

Those two goals away at the mancs....was that the same season?

Google says the mancs ones were the 95-96, and the arse ones 94-95. He was lethal back then.
