Liverpool's best ever XI ... The third forward 💥 | OneFootball

With the football on hold at the moment, we’ve been thinking about who gets in Liverpool’s all-time XI.

Today we’re choosing our third and final forward.

Here are the nominees …

3rd – Roger Hunt

Roger Hunt is a player renowned by club and country, after scoring three goals in six games during England’s 1966 World Cup win.

Hunt knew where the back of the net was and despite leaving Liverpool in 1969, he is still second place in the club’s all-time top goalscorers list.

The Lancashire-born hitman scored 139 goals in 224 games while on Merseyside, winning two league titles and a FA Cup.

2nd – Luis Suárez

Suárez is a player that will always divide opinion and he may not be in Liverpool fans’ good books following his antics for Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final last season.

However, during his time at Anfield he was one of the best players to represent the club.

The Uruguayan didn’t hit the ground running following his £22.8m move from Ajax in 2011. Suárez was wasteful in front of goal and although the talent was evident, the consistency wasn’t.

Suárez exploded following the arrival of Brendan Rodgers in 2012, and was a main force behind Liverpool’s title charge in 2013/14.

Suárez scored 82 goals in 133 appearances for the Reds, and most of them came against Norwich.

And the winner is … Kenny Dalglish

Kenny Dalglish is considered to be the best player to play for Liverpool.

His trophy cabinet, as a player and manager, backs this up. Dalglish won 18 trophies playing for the club, including six league titles and three European Cups.

The Scot then took over the reins to win three league titles and two FA Cups in the manager’s seat.

His ability to drop into pockets on the pitch and impose his creativity on the game was second to none. The technique and creativity of Suárez mixed with the movement of Fernando Torres.

Dalglish arrived from Celtic in 1977 for a British transfer fee record of £440,000 and was initially signed as a replacement for Kevin Keegan who had departed for Hamburg.

Liverpool got a lot more than they bargained for, with Dalglish scoring 141 goals in 449 appearances for the club.

His winner against Chelsea in May 1986 sealed one of many titles for the club.
