In fact, when players are asked who the best midfielder they’ve ever faced was, a lot of them end up saying Gerrard, even though the likes of Paul Scholes and Frank Lampard were around during that time.
Nobody will ever replace Gerrard due to what he meant to the club, but Arne Slot’s current midfield trio of Florian Wirtz, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister is among the strongest Liverpool have had over the last few years.

And, now that Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike have joined, their strike force is also rather stacked.
The likes of Fernando Torres, Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez all come to mind, with each having a special place in the hearts of Liverpool fans.
And, while speaking to Shoot for Love Korea, Gerrard named who the better player was out of Suarez and Torres.

“They’re both world-class,” he said.
“I had the best chemistry with Torres for a short period of time, my connection, my relationship was probably the strongest I ever had with another player on the pitch.
“But, I get asked the question a lot ‘Suarez or Torres’, and I think all-round, as a footballer, I think Suarez just edges it.”
Suarez, during his prime years, will arguably be the best version of a striker that Liverpool will ever see donning their colours.
