One Liverpool fan has claimed that Paul Scholes wasn't 'good enough to lace Jordan Henderson's boots' and said the former Manchester United midfielder was just a 'ginger Mark Noble.'
Scholes name is synonymous with fellow legendary Premier League midfielders Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard and the never ending debate as to who is the best of the three.
However one Liverpool fan has made his feelings clear that Scholes doesn't belong in the debate and thinks that current Reds' captain Henderson is actually a better player.
As Ball Street also pointed out Scholes does have more Premier League winners medals than Henderson has Man of the Match awards, although the titles weren't all down to the former United player of course.
What is almost definite is the fact that Henderson will pick up his first league winner's medal with Jurgen Klopp's team at the end of the season, with the side now 22 points clear of second place Manchester City with 13 games to go.
There's no doubt how far the former Sunderland midfielder has come in the last few years under Jurgen Klopp, especially as previous manager Brendan Rodgers was going to let him leave Anfield, and he is now integral to both his club side and Gareth Southgate's England team.
His form this season has led to many suggesting the 29-year-old should win the PFA Player of the Season award at the end of the campaign.
Speaking on Match of the Day, Alan Shearer was an advocate for the midfielder to win the award saying, "Jordan Henderson, again [the best of the bunch]. I believe if the season were to end tomorrow he would be my player of the season. Absolutely no doubt about it."
The bookies also have the Liverpool captain as favourite to win the award.
Despite all that though it's worth remembering just how good Scholes was in a brilliant United team over a long period of time.
He won 11 league titles, two Champions Leagues, not appearing in one final, scored 107 Premier League goals and is an all time great.
