Liverpool have a long storied tradition of great goals in their history. No Reds fan will ever forget the goals that led the Reds to victory in Istanbul for the 2005 Champions League or the goals scored along the road to Athens for the 2007 rematch against AC Milan.
And there is no denying the goal scoring attributes of legends past such as Ian Rush.
However, not all of the players on the current roster have been on the side long enough to score their greatest goal for the Reds. Some are still yet to score, but their time will surely come.
When it all is said and done, those that are yet to score a magnificent strike for the Reds still may have belted in a brilliant strike at some other point in their career, proving that they could very well produce in Red before their time is up.
Glen Johnson
Not many will have forgotten Glen Johnson's EPL goal of the season from the 2008-'09 match between Portsmouth and Hull City just before he joined the Reds the next summer.
Jose Enrique
Thanks to a fan and modern technology, Jose Enrique's only goal of his career was captured as he scored a great strike against Notts County while still in Newcastle Black and White.
Jamie Carragher
Few and far between are the Vice Captain's goals but this classic is still great to watch.
Martin Skrtel
Martin Skrtel nailed a headed effort against Bolton Wanderers earlier in the 2011-12 season after having earned his first start of the campaign.
Daniel Agger
If anyone ever questions the necessity that Daniel Agger is at the back as well as the front for Liverpool, they only need to see him net this wonder goal against West Ham.
Conor Coady
It may have been preseason, but it was great to see Conor Coady get a goal with the first team this summer. A great stepping stone for his future.
Fabio Aurelio
While Fabio Aurelio is yet to have a match this season, there is no doubting the class of his Champions League goal from the 2008-09 campaign. He scored the opener at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of their Quarter Final match up. The goal is just after the 40-second mark.
Stewart Downing
Stewart Downing is yet to score for the Reds, so here is a great throwback to his days with Middlesbrough.
Charlie Adam
Charlie Adam has scored some belters in the EPL, but his first goal at Anfield was a well-placed shot from outside the box against Bolton Wanderers.
Jordan Henderson
Jordan Henderson showed his determination to score his first goal for the Reds. Ironically, it was in the same match that Charlie Adam would open his Anfield account.
Lucas Leiva
The young Brazilian has done everything in his power to win over the Liverpool fans. This great goal against Steaua Bucharest was in the Europa League in 2010-'11.
Maxi Rodriguez
It may have been from the 2006 World Cup and five years in the Argentine's past, but Maxi Rodriguez's extra time goal against Mexico is perhaps the greatest goal he will ever score.
You can also see a great Liverpool goal for the player as 10th in the countdown on this video.
Raheem Sterling
Youngster Raheem Sterling was given the No. 31 first team squad number this summer. While he is not likely to make his first team debut unless there is a major need for him this season, there is no doubting his talents for the future.
Dirk Kuyt
Flying Dutchman Dirk Kuyt has scored some great goals for the Reds, most of which are in the compilation above. Look at the 3:20 mark for perhaps one of his most skillful for Liverpool.
Andy Carroll
Andy Carroll is yet to reach his full potential for Liverpool, but the two goals he scored against Manchester City last season prove he has a load of talent.
However, it is yet to be determined if it can be brought out to the surface permanently. I'll leave it to you to decide if the strike from outside the box or the header is his best.
Craig Bellamy
The video above has all of Craig Bellamy's goals from his previous Liverpool season. The goal scored at the 34-second mark has to be one of the best of the bunch because of the control it took from that angle in order to score.
Luis Suarez
Give it to Dirk Kuyt, as the only one doing his job in ensuring this was the opening goal. But this should have been Luis Suarez's best and most deserved placement goal so far for Liverpool.
Steven Gerrard
While his brilliant strikes against Olympiakos on the road to Istanbul in 2005 and against West Ham in the 2006 FA Cup Final are two of his most famous, this strike against Middlesbrough was pure class from one of the world's best midfielders to ever grace a pitch.
