With the football on hold at the moment, weâve been thinking about who gets in Liverpoolâs all-time XI.
Today weâre choosing our third and final forward.
Here are the nominees âŠ
Roger Hunt is a player renowned by club and country, after scoring three goals in six games during Englandâs 1966 World Cup win.
Hunt knew where the back of the net was and despite leaving Liverpool in 1969, he is still second place in the clubâs all-time top goalscorers list.
The Lancashire-born hitman scored 139 goals in 224 games while on Merseyside, winning two league titles and a FA Cup.
SuĂĄrez is a player that will always divide opinion and he may not be in Liverpool fansâ good books following his antics for Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final last season.
However, during his time at Anfield he was one of the best players to represent the club.
The Uruguayan didnât hit the ground running following his ÂŁ22.8m move from Ajax in 2011. SuĂĄrez was wasteful in front of goal and although the talent was evident, the consistency wasnât.
SuĂĄrez exploded following the arrival of Brendan Rodgers in 2012, and was a main force behind Liverpoolâs title charge in 2013/14.
SuĂĄrez scored 82 goals in 133 appearances for the Reds, and most of them came against Norwich.
Kenny Dalglish is considered to be the best player to play for Liverpool.
His trophy cabinet, as a player and manager, backs this up. Dalglish won 18 trophies playing for the club, including six league titles and three European Cups.
The Scot then took over the reins to win three league titles and two FA Cups in the managerâs seat.
His ability to drop into pockets on the pitch and impose his creativity on the game was second to none. The technique and creativity of SuĂĄrez mixed with the movement of Fernando Torres.
Dalglish arrived from Celtic in 1977 for a British transfer fee record of ÂŁ440,000 and was initially signed as a replacement for Kevin Keegan who had departed for Hamburg.
Liverpool got a lot more than they bargained for, with Dalglish scoring 141 goals in 449 appearances for the club.
His winner against Chelsea in May 1986 sealed one of many titles for the club.
