Prime Torres or Prime Suarez? Steven Gerrard Names Best Liverpool Player He Played With

• Gerrard has named Lusi Suarez as the best player he played alongside at Liverpool
• Suarez was a nuisance for the opposition in the Premier League and was on the brink of winning the Premier League in 2014
• According to Gerrard, a prime Luis Suarez was better than a prime Fernando Torres, who played for Liverpool between 2007 and 2011

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard made a surprise pick when he was asked who was better between a prime Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres.

Suarez will certainly go down as one of the cult heroes at Liverpool as he had a fairly successful stint at Anfield between 2011 and 2014.

Incredibly, the Uruguay international managed to score 82 goals in 133 appearances for Liverpool, including some world-class strikes.

He also came to the brink of handing Liverpool a rare Premier League title in the 2013-14 season, only for the Reds to slip up and ultimately hand the title to Manchester City.

Suarez however had an individual honour that season as he clinched the Golden Boot after netting 31 times in 33 matches

He would go on to lift the League Cup with Liverpool before securing a sensational £75m deal to Barcelona.

While speaking to Gary Neville on The Overlap, Gerrard was asked the infamous question, who was the better player in his prime and he did not hesitate with his answer.

“I get asked this question all the time -- all the time -- listen, both phenomenal, but I’d say Suarez just because he had everything and, I mean, how long have you got to describe him?” Gerrard said.

Gerrard went a step further by declaring Suarez as the best player he played alongside at Liverpool.

“You just felt no matter who you were playing, you just had a feeling that he was gonna win you the game, every game, didn’t matter who it was.”

Torres played for Liverpool from 2007 to 2011 and was also a frightening marksman to opponents.

At Liverpool, the Spaniard managed an impressive 65 goals in 102 appearances before eventually securing a controversial move to Chelsea.

Messi or Ronaldo?

Gerrard also weighed in on the Messi-Ronaldo debate where he boldly claimed the Paris Saint Germain star was slightly ahead of Cristiano.

The Aston Villa manager faced Cristiano Ronaldo several times during his first stint with Manchester United before meeting a couple of times in the UEFA Champions League, when the Portuguese played for Real Madrid.

Gerrard also played against Lionel Messi during the Argentine's time with Spanish giants Barcelona.
