When Torres was in his first couple of seasons, him and Gerrard were easily better than Suarez and Gerrard. Every time that Torres got close to the goal he would score.
Our team was far better back then because Gerrard was in top form, much like Torres plus we had a proper DM in Mascherano, and one of the best players in the world at linking up the back with the attack in Alonso. We almost won the league with that team.
At it stands, we do have decent players ATM. But we have so many workhorses in Lucas, Hendo and even Gerrard to an extent these days. While I think Coutinho will be awesome, it's only him, Suarez, Sturridge and possibly Moses that are even an attacking threat. And the new Gerrard is injured for 6 weeks (new Gerrard in position).
