Mr Liverpool Picks Keane Over Gerrard In All Time XI

Jamie Carragher, who the club’s official website refer to as ‘Mr Liverpool’, has named his all time XI, rating Roy Keane ahead of Steven Gerrard.

“Talking of Roy Keane, I’d have him alongside Souey at the heart of midfield,” said Carragher. “The Man United skipper may be a little short of Souness in the passing department but he has so much drive, he can get forward into the box to score vital goals, and he can also put his foot in. And let’s be perfectly honest, the opposition would have trouble imposing their game on Souey and Keano! Obviously Steven Gerrard is a great player and maybe in years to come he can compare to Souness, but I’ve seen videos of Graeme and he was probably more like Roy Keane and Glenn Hoddle rolled into one.”

Neville Southall, Cafu, Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Marcel Desailly, Zinedine Zidane, Graeme Souness, Roy Keane, John Barnes, Marco Van Basten and Kenny Dalglish.

    Souness and Keano. Now that would terrorise the fuck out of any midfield.

  2. Red Devil says:

    Yeah….great midfield…except for John Barnes, I would put Giggsy on the wing.

  3. Josh-2b-King says:

    I would say that Scholsey deserved to be in the list rather than Barnes.

  4. Griffin says:

    I cant believe he has not chosen Hernandez in that 11? Ridiculous ;-)

    I once read a interview with Fabregas in some sports mag. When asked who are the best players of all time, he said Ronaldo, Henry, Bergkamp. Then he said he would pay to watch Gerrard.

    Well done Carraaaaa lad, you know it makes sense.

  15. willierednut says:

    I always find it funny when Liverpoo fans compare Gerrard to Keano, he couldn’t lace Keane’s boots.

    like him or hate him, what carragher has is football knowledge and sense. carraghers personality you can tell he would want a personality like keane more than gerrard because stevie me is too quiet and he is like a puppy compared to keane, because what makes keane the player he was is? not just ability has a player to go into that engine room and domminate the game, or his drive to go box to box. But the key factor is to keane is 2 things, his personality to lead the team and he is like having the manager on the field, he is vocal and will tell players what he thinks of them if they are not pulling their weight. Which gerrard fails to come across in the dressing room has a captain.
