Who knows, but Robbie Fowler was a better striker.
I'd be interested to see what Vlad, Portly and Judge say - they've seen all the stars of the last 30-40 years ... They're probably the best judges.
Yup - At least Owen and Fowler won stuff with our club ... Torres unfortunately won zilch, which is a travesty (That that team won nothing was ridiculous).
Torres did win me the fastest wank award 2010 in work.
Very difficult choice to make. Fowler had greater natural talent, but Torres at his best sustained his form for longer.
My vote goes to Torres, by the width of a gnat's pube.

Torres.
Owen was also a great player for us, but he was extremely frustrating as well, seemed to go for long periods without scoring and was always getting injured.
Fowler was my favourite player of the three, and probably the one with the most natural ability, but didn't do himself any favours and so was nowhere near as effective as he could have been
He did, but then Fowler was pretty much finished by the time Houllier arrived. If the management of the club had been like that when Fowler was younger then things might have been different.
Did he really?
Torres was at his peak for 2 full seasons, as far as I can remember.
Eh? And Rush couldn't? Rush had a Liverpool career nearly 3 times longer than Robbie's and those 346 moments of joy he gave us with his head, left foot, right foot, tap ins, volleys and long rangers are probably only diminished by the passage of time and dulling of memories. Even when he wasn't putting the ball in the back of he net, he had a phenomenal work rate, and it's laughable these days that we excuse our strikers for not scoring because "he works hard". Flashy? No. Consistent? Check. Scores all kinds of goals? Check. Biased? Of course.
That Rushie had a longer career, no one can deny.
I just seem to remember Rushie as being more deadly inside the area with the 'long rangers' etc being more of a rarity than with Fowler. That's what I meant from 'anywhere and consistently.' It wasn't meant to slight Rushie in any way, he's a legend and I hope one day we can have a player who's as capable of scoring goals at our club for that many years.
As for your last few words ... Get off your high horse.
Mate!! Youre remembering wrong. Rushie was devastating and scored wondergoals. There is a myth that Kenny was a magician and did everything allowing Rushie to tap in and that any cunt could do his job.
Its crap. Rush was phenomenal.
An amazing player.
HOOOOLD ON. I never said he wasn't amazing, or phenomenal. I just think Rushie was more dominating inside than he was outside the box. I'll raise me hands if I was wrong, which happens often enough nowadays.
You ARE wrong. Rushie scored from all da place.
He was equally adept at a volley from 20yards as a 2 yard tap in.
You always say I'm wrong.
What does that tell you?
That you're my wife.
Hard to blame him really.
That's what I thought I was saying!
OY! I always had faith you'd settle down, I was right there! 😉
Torres does/did all that running around malarkey and holding the ball up shite that strikers do these days much better than Fowler ever did.
But, as an in-the-box striker, Fowler was better.

Depends what you define as a better striker. All round play - Torres was better. Finishing? Fowler was better.
When people talk about that Torres goal against Chelsea and how excited it made them to see a Liverpool striker score a goal like that they'd do well to watch Fowlers brace at old trafford in 95. Simply outrageous. The love so many felt for Torres is what I grew up with in Fowler. 1 of a kind.
They could both score extraordinary goals, there's no doubt about that, but for my money the amazing ones Fowler scored it's easier to imagine Torres replicating, than the other way round. I could see Torres scoring those goals against Man Utd, just about, but never Fowler scoring the ones at Marseille or Derby, or even the one against Newcastle where he dummied the keeper.
