I respectfully beg to differ with all the above. We're not having a problem on the scoring front. I'd go for Jocky Hansen at CB.
Although Fowler reached 100 goals in a shorter time, didn't he?
If we had a Fowler present we wouldn't need a defence. Sure, even I could play in nets!
Probably. But his 2nd stint at anfield wasn't as good
I'd go for Souness. We could really do with some no frills steel in the midfield.
Gerrard
I thought that too.
Beardsley would be awesome alongside Coutinho there too. Creativity and goals.
Nice idea but he would get sent off about 10 times a season in today's game. Although I could imagine some players would think twice about hacking down Sterling if they thought that Souness might break their jaw.
Yeah, Barnes would be ace.
Suarez is the only answer that is not completely speculative.
And therefore no fun.

Barnes in his prime
Thinking about it, Ian Rush would be pretty amazing for us. Not only was he one of the best goalscorers of footballing history, but he pressed defenders relentlessly before it was the thing to do. His work ethic was incredible, and of course his runs brought the best out in creative players. His famous partnership with KK was never really a proper front 2, as I remember, but KK was usually playing between the lines. You could imagine Rush feeding on balls from Coutinho, Lallana and Sterling and banging goals in for fun. Yeah, I'm going for Rushie.
Rather have Nicol, even though he played more as a right back he could easily play on the left aswell. Loved him.
Same here. Stevie Nicol was a better defender than Johnny Rockets, a far better one than Paddy Berger and, if less spectacular going forward, just as effective doing so as either of them. In fact he'd be my LB/LWB in the All-Time XI - we have other candidates for RB but I don't think there's anyone to touch him on the left. He was the best utility player we've ever had, and also played with distinction on either wing in midfield (from where he scored at least one hat-trick). Playing as a stand-in CB for the whole of one season, he helped us to concede fewer than 20 goals all season, which is probably still some sort of record. Amazing player, the very definition of an unsung hero.
If you could have one player.
I was watching some old games recently. Phil Neal was amazing.
