IMO most of those players are better than the Liverpool ones

Yes, but you cannot seriously put him above KDB and Modric.
Caporegime
If you compare our midfielders with most on the list I'd find it hard to argue that any of them are better but very few, maybe only Kante, get in our team.
Caporegime
KDB would imo, and probably Eriksen too.
KDB played 900 minutes for Man City last season. If you use your Auba argument then how can he be above any of them? He barely featured.
Eriksen doesnt catch our 11. a lot on there dont.
Caporegime
KDB does seem to have a great work rate but there's absolutely no chance Eriksen makes our team without completely unbalancing the way we play.
Our midfield will never make the headlines due to the role they're asked to play in the team which is basically cover the fullbacks, protect the CBs and get the ball to the forwards as quick as possible.
A goalscoring/creative midfielder would provide us with a plan B but Klopp adapted the way we play when Coutinho left and we became a better team as a result.
Soldato
Its my opinion. Winning medals don't necessarily mean your the better player. I'd take most of those midfielders ahead of any from Liverpool
Ive said Eriksen wouldnt get into our 11...he wouldnt.
Lets be right here...we are a bloody good team...not many would get in our 11.
Soldato
Many would. Its klopp and his tactics and coach that makes Liverpool tick
Yes you do have a good team, no denying that. But to suggest there is no one better than Firminho for Liverpool, that the midfield 3 is anything other than workmanlike or that Lovren is better than Maguire is a little laughable. Those are just 3 of the ones i remember recently.
Lovren is 4th choice?
Firmino is a forward so not sure how thats relevant but he makes us tick. If you meant Fabinho then id argue there isnt many dms better to be fair.
Ok so Liverpools midfield is workmanlike...so what are De Jong,Busquets,Kante etc then?
De Jong above Henderson, Gini and Fabinho is absolutely laughable.
Klopp is an excellent manager but to suggest its all him is wild. I reckon the fellas on the pitch have something to do with it.

I wouldn't take eriksen but kdb yes in a heartbeat.
"For Liverpool" are the key words here and why we're always having these ridiculous arguments. What's best for Liverpool isn't the same as what's best for another side. Firmino is absolutely the best centre forward around for Liverpool - he's unique and pivotal to how we play. You can argue there's better strikers if you want but they're not better for Liverpool.
On a general point I have no idea why anybody cares about these lists. Just look at half the players picked, they're a pile of **** with players being picked off reputation. There's players in that list that weren't in the top 5 players in their position at their club and players that have been injured for half the time.
