Thanks.

&

ps i had that yellow kit.. ;D

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Can't see the choices on my phone. If it's two then gerrard and souness.

 

[Judge Jules]

Has to be IMO. Some other great players in that list (not that they all were), but for all-round excellence I can't see past Souey and Gerrard.

 

[eecheerow]

Where is Emlyn going to fit in to all of this?

Surely he should be an option here.

 

[Judge Jules]

Not in centre mid. LB, LM or CB perhaps (though I personally wouldn't pick him for any of them).

 

[eecheerow]

But if he's not been listed at any of the other positions, he has to be mentioned here doesn't he? He has to be an option somewhere.

 

[Spionkop69]

4 people voted for Alonso? Which means they think that Alonso is better than one of either Souness or Gerrard....hmmmm.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

I was one of those that voted for Alonso & Souness but only because I would have Gerrard on the right as I said in the I'm mister right side tread

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Alonso is Molby without the goals 😉

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Gerrard and Souness for me

I saw Molby play mate, he was excellent but to me he was Alonso carrying two sacks of potatoes because of his weight. Xabi's mobility meant he covered more ground, made more interceptions and was just better defensively. If Jan hadn't got the weight he could have been our best midfielder ever though.

 

[Judge Jules]

Molby took a better peno though. 😉

 

[manwithnoname]

All Alonso does is pass

I'm not sure about that... Xabi wasn't/isn't exactly the quickest either at running or turning etc.

Anyways, both fine players.

 

[Judge Jules]

I do think he was better defensively than Molby though. FWIW at one stage he had some of the best tackling stats in the Prem. It's ironic, because we tried once or twice to play Molby as a sweeper, but that never worked.

 

[Fabio]

being only a young tyke and not seen much of souness (on the whole), i thought i couldn't vote for him

Agreed both were excellent

I was thinking more along the lines of ground covered on the mobility front, neither were blessed with any pace, god bless em.

Jan Molby could play (and dicate) a whole match without leavign the centre circle (which he admirably filled). He lsot the pound when he was in Walton for a few weeks, but they came back pretty quick

More=Better

 

[Squiggles]

Didi and Gerrard for me.

Haven't seen many of the legends, bar the odd clips, so there's fuck all point in me choosing them.

Alonso obviously deserves a good mention, but Gerrard has to be there and him Didi are a much better partnership.

 

[Squiggles]

Oh and it's Hamann 😉

 

[Rafiagra]

Souness and Gerrard. Its that easy.

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Oh oh it's magic, you knooooooow, you'll never get past Sissoko.

 

[Buddha]

This thread proves beyond doubt why it's folly to want to sell Gerrard, even if he is just 30.
