The Kop is one of the biggest clubs in the land of mist. Their illustrious history is built on outstanding personalities.
Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker
The Brazilian star immediately proved his worth when he arrived at Anfield from AS Roma in 2018. Becker brought the necessary assurance and stability to Liverpool’s goal. He played a big role in the team’s journey to win the Champions League, Premier League for the past 3 years.
Right-back: Trent Alexander-Arnold
Both Glen Johnson and Markus Babbel deserve a place on this list. However, Alexander-Arnold has great potential and a long future ahead to establish his name. His remarkable progress has helped the 22-year-old prodigy become a regular starter under the reign of coach Jurgen Klopp.
Center-back: Jamie Carragher
Carragher spent 25 years with Liverpool. The former English footballer won 11 different titles throughout his time with the club. Carragher was also a member of The Kop when they won the Champions League in 2005.
Center-back: Virgil van Dijk
Van Dijk is one of the most successful signings in the history of Anfield. The Dutch star was recruited by Klopp from Southampton for a record-breaking £75 million. Van Dijk became the leader of the team’s defense on the journey to win the Champions League and Premier League.
Left-back: Andrew Robertson
In the summer of 2017, The Kop spent £8 million to bring Robertson to Anfield from Hull City. The rest is history. The 27-year-old star has played 132 games for The Kop, scoring 4 goals. Robertson has won 1 Champions League, 1 Premier League, 1 UEFA Super Cup, and 1 FIFA Club World Cup.
Central midfielder: Steven Gerrard
Gerrard is a monument at Anfield. The former England international spent 17 years with Liverpool, with many ups and downs. Statistics show that Gerrard played 504 Premier League games, scored 120 goals, won 1 Champions League, and 2 FA Cups.
Central midfielder: Xabi Alonso
The former Spanish footballer joined Liverpool from Real Sociedad in 2005. Alonso immediately showed his value under the reign of coach Rafa Benitez. Throughout his time with The Kop, Alonso won 1 Champions League, 1 FA Cup, 1 English Super Cup, and 1 UEFA Super Cup.
Central midfielder: Javier Mascherano
Together with Gerrard and Alonso, Mascherano formed a formidable trio of midfielders for Liverpool. The former Argentine player played a defensive midfielder role with impressive ball-blocking and pressing skills.
Left forward: Sadio Mane
Mane is an indispensable piece of Klopp’s current attacking squad. Speed, abundant energy, and perfect finishing skills have turned the Senegalese player into a dangerous striker against any defense.
The striker must be: Mohamed Salah
The Egyptian striker is the top goal scorer for Liverpool with 98 goals in 160 appearances. Salah has won the Premier League Golden Boot twice (in the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 seasons).
The center-forward: Luis Suarez
Michael Owen, Fernando Torres, Roberto Firmino, and Robbie Fowler are all deserving of nomination for this position. However, according to journalist Nnanna Mba of Sportskeeda, Suarez is superior to the others in terms of his ability to score goals and his clever style of play.
After 3 seasons with Liverpool, the Uruguayan striker has scored 82 goals in 133 different matches.
