Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool have come off the best by selling star striker Fernando Torres to Chelsea and replacing the Spaniard with Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez. Torres has yet to score for Chelsea since his big money move, while Suarez and Carroll have made promising starts to life at Anfield, with the former in particular impressing.
And Gerrard told Sky Sports 1: "Suarez has only played a few games but we know he will be a top player. Training and playing with him in his first few games he has been strong and technically good, but Fernando in his first year with us was frightening as well.
"But I think Liverpool are in a better position having two top forwards instead of one. I enjoyed playing behind Fernando but if you said I could have Fernando on form or Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez on form, I would take the two over one."
Gerrard revealed the Liverpool players had felt let down by Torres' decision to leave.
"We felt slightly let down, like the supporters we wanted him to stay as he is a top player. But he made his decision and we have to respect that," he said.
The Reds skipper also claimed the club had to act when former boss Roy Hodgson lost the support of the fans.
"When the Liverpool fans turn against you have to listen," said Gerrard. "They are Liverpool Football Club."
