Kenny with Rush a very close second for me. Might be biased as I grew up with them
It’s a good list but of course there will be clubs out there that have a lost of strikers close to that since the 60s..not unique to Liverpool, any club with reasonably consistent success and longevity at the top since then. Madrid, Barcelona, Juve and United would all have their own impressive lists of strikers.
Mo is still not a striker though. Look at him last night. He was hugging the touch line. Doing one/twos with our right back Trent.
I only saw Rush towards his end and I know this is controversial but I was always a Owen man. Before his hammies went he was just unstoppable.
"Even United are now going on 10 years without what I would consider a great striker"
The likes of Van Persie, Zlatan, Cavani and Rooney are all up there with anyone in that list, not to mention Ronaldo.

Of course they would but as I said in the article, United are going on 10 years without what I would consider a truly great striker.
Barcelona perhaps for the last 30-35 years.

Going on 10 years. Van Persie left 7-8 years ago.
Only Rooney can be considered. Even his latter years weren’t great.
Zlatan not a great striker for United
Cavani not a great striker for United
You may as well have said George Weah for Chelsea

That's not what you said though.

Van Persie and Rooney have fired us to a title in that time period. The others have all competed with the top strikers in the league. Not their fault as a team with been poor as a whole.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
In terms of the area of the pitch, sure. But he’s undoubtedly, along with Mane our recognised primary attacker.

Cavani in your team would be an upgrade on Firmino no doubt. Only thing going against him is his age.

That's not how the question was phrased. He's been very good for us though and overall he is a great striker in the game.
The question also didn’t mention anything about Firmino, who by the way has the same amount of goals as any United player this season and a better MPG ratio to!
Can’t see Cavani on there!

Why are you getting so defensive, I'm not saying Firmino isn't a good player
He does play in a much better attacking team than Cavani at present though and you create a lot more chances.
If Cavani was at Liverpool he'd been in with the golden boot contenders.
Our front 3 have scored 338 goals between them in all comps since signing for Liverpool.
Absolutely superb.
Also, puts into perspective
Another 8 goals and they’ll overtake Ian Rush

But he wouldn’t play that much for us as klopp wants something different from man that plays there, we’ve already got the fella that’s in with the golden boot and other than us in the last few seasons no other club has had 2 players in with a shout of winning it!

So Liverpool have only had Suarez as a great striker in the last 10 years? Why are people focused on Uniteds last 10 years when the OP is listing all Liverpools great strikers from history.
