No order

JT
Carvalho
Gallas
Ferdinand
Vidic
Stam
Adams
Campbell / King
Van Dijk
Kompany

To complicated to rank. JT / Rio over Vidic and Carvalho for longevity however Vidic and Carvalho were better..

You can’t really have Van Dijk near the top 5 yet as it’s been about 2 seasons

To many questions but we all seem to pretty much agree the top 10 list with some notable mentions

8) Van Dijk
9) Carvalho

because koscienly is crap and wouldnt be in mosts top 50.
Campbell, toure, adams, keown and others from arsenal alone are all better than him

He had one or two good seasons but nowhere near a top 10

Any CB that made their name from about 2010 to about 2015/16 shouldn't count. Defending was pisss poor in the league for those years.

I feel VVD may have left it too late to be number 1 even once his career is done. Trophy wise individually and as a team he is so far behind other players. Lets be honest some of these players have had sensational seasons (JT, carvahlo, rio,vidic, vvd) so put someone 1 after just 1 season is ridiculous. He needs to do it for 5 or more to catch up imo.

I agree with this and would add that I think VVD benefits a little in perception because he had such an effect on Liverpool's defence.

Some players in the list replaced someone excellent or improved a defence by a small margin - VVD is seen as the difference between Liverpool as also rans and as title winners.

He's a fantastic player, no doubt, but held a bit too high by some when compared to others imo.

Would love to see how Terry, Carvalho, Rio & Vidic perform with Lovren next to them.

Lovren barely plays even when he's on the pitch tbh.

My point exactly. Had Lovren not played that game we could talking about an unbeaten league campaign

I'm shocked that TOOR has a Liverpool player at number one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who would you have? Where is your list?

There are only three positions I would have a Liverpool player at number one. RB, CM and CB.

But surely it shows that no matter how good VVD is, he can't boss the defence when he has Lovren next to him?

I suspect that would be true for all the quality defenders on the list... so not sure what your original point was?!

I'm more alarmed by Carragher being in the top 10 than I am by Van Dijk being number 1 tbh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, think people are on the wind up. One even had Keown in the top 10 - bad enough opinion on it's own, just plain idiotic when you see Adams not on the list
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I meant Adams, not Keown.

I find that hard to believe.

I assume Gerrard is also in the top ten players of all time as well.

Believe what you want.

All time, impossible to say, considering I'm only 35.

Last 20 years, yeah, I'd say so.

Well yes, we know what you think about recent times - you think that Gerrard is the best player this century aside from Messi and Ronaldo.

So it's reasonable to follow on and ask if you think he's in the top ten of all time.
