As Andoni Iraola builds his Liverpool team, how he would love to be able to call upon some of the heroes of the club’s storied past.The Reds have had some of the best players in Premier League history represent them over the years, with Mohamed Salah and Luis Suarez two of the very best to do it.Though Salah is undoubtedly a much bigger legend at Anfield, Suarez was arguably a better player, and that makes the debate over which player would be picked in a Liverpool XI in their prime an interesting one. Jamie Carragher was asked to give his take, and though he has been a noted critic of Salah, the Scouser says the Egyptian would be his choice to add to Iraola’s current team.

Sadly, we will never know if he would have been able to rekindle his former glories under Iraola.Nevertheless, Carragher says that with Alexander Isak already occupying the spot which Suarez would likely play in, the best version of Salah would be his choice in this particular head-to-head.“Great question, two of the best players we’ve ever had really,” said the Liverpool legend while answering questions from fans in a video with SPORTbible. I think Salah obviously probably got more numbers, Salah’s numbers are unbelievable.

Sorry, I’d actually have prime Salah, because we’ve got Isak up front and we haven’t replaced Mo yet at all, so prime Salah.”READ MORE: Andoni Iraola names the ‘best thing’ about Liverpool’s Carabao Cup win over TottenhamCarragher answered a number of Liverpool related questions during the video, including one of whether he thinks he retired from playing a little bit too early in 2013.“I think I got it spot on,” he said. “The following season Liverpool almost won the league and there was a lot of talk that maybe they could’ve got over the line if I hadn’t retired, which is something that I don’t actually believe, but the fact people say it probably tells me I made the right decision when I got out.”The former centre-back was also asked to name which night he’d go back and live from his playing career if he had the chance, predictably choosing Liverpool’s Champions League final win in 2005.“Istanbul 2005,” he said.
