Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah after a win

Jamie Carragher did not require himself in his unanimously-time Liverpool XI, deciding current Reds captain Virgil van Dijk next off to Alan Hansen instead.

Carragher made 737 appearances for Liverpool. Lone Ian Callaghan tinkered excess complements, appearing a ludicrous 860 times.

Callaghan executes not avail in his unanimously-time Reds XI though, absent out on out at the expenditure of Mohamed Salah, who is the merely unalike other current player to avail in the side after Van Dijk.

The previous defender clarifies why unalike other Jurgen Klopp favourites Andy Robertson, Alisson and Trent Alexander-Arnold correct miss out.

“I would go wearing Ray Clemence, merely, over Alisson, merely for the fact he won so multiple trophies,” Carragher claimed.

“Proper-previously, [options are] Phil Neal or Trent [Alexander-Arnold]. As shortly as you image players who tinkered for say AC Milan and points like that, we go, ‘He’s won the European Cup 4 or 5 times’, we go, ‘Wow, Madrid and Barça players’ – Phil Neal won 4 European Mugs, it’s absurd that. I assume if I was quized this qualm at the expire of Trent’s career I’d arguably say Trent, yet I will go wearing Phil Neal for the fact that he’s won 4 European Mugs.

“I would go wearing Virgil van Dijk and Alan Hansen [at centre-back], I assume that would be a nice participation.

“Andy Robertson can come correct into the formula. He’s done ridiculously [well]. Yet I’m attending go for Steve Nicol. He tinkered vacated-previously and he possessed a nice scheme wearing the guy in front who is attending play: John Barnes in that late ’80s team. Steve Nicol was a player a miniscule miniscule the super same to me – correct-previously, centre-previously, vacated-previously – yet I assume he was that nice for Liverpool he’s obtained to be in the team. So I’ll go wearing Steve Nicol at vacated-previously.

“Souey [Graeme Souness] has to be in central midfield. So I’ve obtained John Barnes on the vacated, I’ve obtained Graeme Souness in the nucleus along with Steven Gerrard.

“On the correct, I assume there’s 2 options. In the past Mo Salah signed upward wearing the club, I would repeatedly play a effortlessly multifarious player, Ian Callaghan. He is the merely player who has tinkered excess galleries for Liverpool than me, he tinkered 860 galleries.

“He won the Second Division wearing Liverpool and I assume one of his last galleries was the 1977 European Cup final. So you image that journey of being a Second Division player, a stretch player and he’s tinkered the most galleries. Yet Mo Salah has obtained to go in on that correct side.

“Kenny Dalglish has obtained to play. Ian Rush goes in because of what he won. I assume if Luis Suarez would have won the league wearing Liverpool… he won one trophy wearing Liverpool, I assume if he obtained a league title and European Cup to his moniker, I assume I would have put Luis Suarez in.

“Yet Ian Rush, image what he did in the cup finals versus Everton, I was yawping on the way abode [as a boyhood Everton fan]. Ian Rush has to play.”
