Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard would love to have seen Robbie Fowler at his best alongside Luis Suarez.

Fowler revealed post-match that the brief run-out is likely to be his last appearance as a professional footballer, but that did not stop Gerrard dreaming of a prolific Fowler-Suarez combination.

The midfielder told liverpoolfc.com: "Can you imagine those two if they were both in their pomp?

"Luis is in the best years of his career now. If you roll back the Fowler years, he used to consistently get 30 a season. If we could have those two I'm sure we could challenge for the league."
