Liverpool’s charity fixture at Anfield on Sunday raised much-needed funds for worthy local causes, but also allowed the Kop to reminisce due to the return of a number of former players returning to Merseyside.

Two of the biggest draws in the exhibition clash were Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez on the hallowed Anfield turf, where they had individually torn apart opposition defences in recent years.

The pair played alongside one another in one of the teams at the weekend and although neither got on the scoresheet, had it been a competitive fixture the outcome may well have been different.

Torres and Suarez are surely the two best strikers to step out for the Reds since the turn of the century, with both playing some of the best football of their impressive careers for the Merseyside club.

It appears that the Anfield faithful have forgiven the Spaniard to some degree following his alleged betrayal by leaving to join Chelsea, while the Uruguayan has always been a fans’ favourite, despite his questionable conduct at times.

Although it will never happen now, considering just how much of a dangerous prospect having the pair in their prime together in the Liverpool attack is a mouthwatering thought.

When Torres originally arrived in England his blistering pace ripped through opposition defences, while his clinical edge in front of goal saw the Spaniard net 24 Premier League goals in his maiden season.

The now Atletico Madrid forward thrived on the creativity of Xabi Alonso and Steven Gerrard, who released him at will from midfield.

However, having Suarez’s guile and technique just behind Torres would be an even more daunting proposition.

Although the South American loves getting amongst the goals himself, he is also astute at creating opportunities for others - something he proved at Anfield and has contributed for Barcelona since moving to Spain.

Suarez’s link-up play with Daniel Sturridge last term was a key reason that Brendan Rodgers’ side were such a threat in the final third and played its part in an unlikely title challenge.

However, despite the Englishman proving that he has what it takes to score regularly, having Suarez and Torres together at their best would arguably be the best strike combination that the Premier League era has seen.

There certainly are potential negative connotations of playing the pair together, with it remaining to be seen whether each would accept having another superstar in their team’s attack.

Had the pair played together it may well have prevented Sturridge from moving to Merseyside as well, with the England international showing that he has the potential to be spoken about in the same breath as these two top Liverpool strikers if he continues to develop at his current rate.

Most teams are lucky to have one talismanic striker every ten-year period never mind two, but having Torres and Suarez at their best in the same team will surely be a dream of some members of the Kop.
