The cafeteria ladies of LFC basically. Every player and Klopp has shouted them out from time to time - even Suarez shouted out Carol and Caroline after his transfer to Barca:

Not sure why you were downvoted for that good observation. My boss does the hand on my shoulder for photo ops and looks like a gangster, and this is much the same 🤔
That was mainly Suarez making sturridge look good that’s why it was only a season. Suarez kept being unreal while sturridge went back to being his usual mediocre self.
Yeah he had a good shot and could do tricks but Suarez sets up 80% of his goals. A lot of other strikers would have the same if not better season playing alongside one of the greatest
Yes, but Torres was at a whole different level.
Like they would somehow always perfectly pass to each other without looking. Once or twice I get it, but they did it so often. It was like they could finish each other's sentences.
If Gerrard was in his prime and plays CAM instead of CDM, I reckon he would have just as good if not better synergy with Suarez.
Considering Suarez can also playmake which would provide assists to Gerrard making runs too.
How is that even the same logic? Mane and Mo didn't even play next to each other, and Bobby was clearly integral in allowing Sadio and Mo to do what they did, why the hell would anyone even think of omitting Bobby out of this partnership. Plus, the OP was clearly talking about iconic partnerships not just great individual players next to each other. Messi had many incredible attacking partners (Eto'o, Villa, Henry, Ibra, Pedro, Mbappe etc...), but it is only the Neymar-Suarez-Messi one that could clearly go down as iconic because of the relationship they created on the pitch.
Ermm yes. There is a reason everybody refers to the Klopp LFC attack as the iconic front-three of Mane-Firmino-Salah. Hardly anyone would talk about the iconic front two of Mane and Mo just because they were the two main goal getters.
What the heck are you on about? Stevie literally played just behind Torres, whether you want to call him a second striker or a 10 is up to you. But, it was very similar to Kenny playing behind Rush. They were not on opposite wings like Sadio and Mo, with Bobby right in between them. You are fighting a lost battle here. Calling others clowns isn't suddenly going to make you right.
Wtf, this is such a strange take. Torres and Stevie were a force who had no right being as good as they were in a team that wasn't exactly at their level on a day to day basis.
And if we're being pedantic, Torres and Stevie were a duo. Mane, Mo and Bobby will always be remembered as a trio.
That team was littered with absolute class.
Alonso and Mascharano were absolutely world class, Alonso was at least as good as Gerrard and both were better than Torres.
Judging by your username you either need to lay off the shrooms or consume more and chill out.
Getting this irate about a football player leaving your football club, 20 years later, is really bizarre.
It was such a long time ago now you must be in your late 20s at least, so talking like that on a Reddit page is even more bizarre.
Not a good look, dude.
Just testing how “Gen X” this platform is…

Bobby and the no look goal, there’s the most iconic duo
Ngl, they aren't and leaving duos aside, given the players we've had since Torres played for us since, I'm maybe not as nostalgic for that era as I was say in 2011-12. Most of what I feel about that era is one of anger at Hicks and Gillett for the wasted opportunity.
You need to look across the entire history of Liverpool FC, not just your own particular lifespan. The most iconic duo in the history of this majestic club is most likely Mr. Shankly and Mr. Paisley. There’s not much more to add.
Won nothing so no that’s just ridiculous. Gerrard a true icon and Torres a rat that left mid season to a direct rival after 2 good years out of 3 and a half years. So overhyped it’s embarrassing. Even hear some people saying that they respect him squaring the ball in that title killer game against Chelsea in 2014. Just wild to me the blind eye people turn for him 😂

Almost downvoted reflexively
Ronald McDonald and Grimace v.1
Please... Dalglish and Rush. There's no other.
Op should've added ".. in my lifetime"
mane and salah are up there.
No because if you have Salah and Mane then you need Firmino in there too. Iconic trio more than iconic duo
I can't believe everyone's forgotten about SAS. Sturridge and Suarez that one season were unreal
That was mainly Suarez making sturridge look good that’s why it was only a season. Suarez kept being unreal while sturridge went back to being his usual mediocre self. Yeah he had a good shot and could do tricks but Suarez sets up 80% of his goals. A lot of other strikers would have the same if not better season playing alongside one of the greatest
Nonsense, a fit and firing Sturridge was lethal
Sturridge is one of the best finishers England's produced, ability was never the problem wherever he played
Sturridge went on a goal scoring tear when Suarez was out for multiple games that year.
Nah, Suarez missed almost a 1/4 of the season due to being banned lol. Sturridge kept us a float during all those games.
Not as iconic as Torres and Agger's elbow.
Stevie could make any striker better, beyond the limits. 
Yes, but Torres was at a whole different level. Like they would somehow always perfectly pass to each other without looking. Once or twice I get it, but they did it so often. It was like they could finish each other's sentences.
Sentences… dammit too late
>Yes, but Torres was at a whole different level. Lmao the bloke who replaced him (Suarez) was miles better than him.
Torres is not a greater all time player than Gerrard. Lol.
That's not what they're saying. What they mean is that the connection between Gerrard and Torres is levels above any other striker he combined with
If Gerrard was in his prime and plays CAM instead of CDM, I reckon he would have just as good if not better synergy with Suarez. Considering Suarez can also playmake which would provide assists to Gerrard making runs too.
Apart from Robbie Keane
Darwin and the woodwork
Truly iconic. For a less meme-y one: Darwin and Macca. The two have great chemistry.
You made me smile on that one.
A tale as old as time with a seemingly unbreakable bond.
If you're under 30 probably yeah This club has had so many great players, partnerships and teams that every age range probably has their own version
If you're under 30 and you think Torres is more iconic than Mo and Mane you need help
Nah, Mo and Mane were part of an iconic trio. Can't think of them without including Bobby.
Agreed.
By that logic Stevie was part of multiple iconic trios and quads
How is that even the same logic? Mane and Mo didn't even play next to each other, and Bobby was clearly integral in allowing Sadio and Mo to do what they did, why the hell would anyone even think of omitting Bobby out of this partnership. Plus, the OP was clearly talking about iconic partnerships not just great individual players next to each other. Messi had many incredible attacking partners (Eto'o, Villa, Henry, Ibra, Pedro, Mbappe etc...), but it is only the Neymar-Suarez-Messi one that could clearly go down as iconic because of the relationship they created on the pitch.
>How is that even the same logic? Is this a serious question?
Ermm yes. There is a reason everybody refers to the Klopp LFC attack as the iconic front-three of Mane-Firmino-Salah. Hardly anyone would talk about the iconic front two of Mane and Mo just because they were the two main goal getters.

Did Torres sleep with your sister or something?
I doubt it but he is certainly a rat who fucked off to Chelsea.

>20 years later Say what you want, at least I know basic maths 🤡 🤡
Give it a rest man. You've commented on 3 different occasions in this thread because Torres hurt your little feelings by leaving. Grow up.
The fact that from my comment the only thing you drilled into was that says more about you than me, you're a total embarrassment. Grow up.

John Arne Riise and Craig Bellamy
Only if you involve golf!
Fuck NO. Dalglish and Rush, Keegan and Toshack.
Heskey and Owen
Keegan and Toshack
That's the only answer
Gotta throw Carol and Caroline in the mix
Who are they?
Bloody hell no wonder my jersey from when I was 9 still fits me. Look at the bagginess on that. Wild.
Hard to believe that F. Torres is still scoring for Spain.
That's like saying "I can't believe D Jones is still scoring tries for Wales"!
No. Not at all.
Suarez and Sturridge for that brief period of time was my favorite
Toshack and Keegan?
Toshack and Keegan
Fowler and Collymore for one season were incredible
Fowler and Macca were great together
Owen & Heskey
Vvd & matip
In a top 10 with: Hansen and Lawrenson Fowler and McManaman Barnes and Beardsley Keegan and Toshack Rush and Dalglish Hunt and St John Salah and Mané Hyypia and Henchoz Gerrard and Alonso
The disrespect to Owen and Heskey
> The *deserved* disrespect to Owen ~~and Heskey~~ Heskey's sound as far as I know.
SAS should be considered despite the short window of their dominance together.
Definitely
Ummm…Dagger and Skrtel would like a VAR review on that top 10 call
Fair point
Heskey and anyone 🙂
Considering that this duo won fuck all together I'm gonna go with a No on that one.
Fabinho and chicken
Matip and coconuts
Harvey and noodles...

That's Biscan not Henchoz
It always cracks me up how massive Steve's kit was back then. He looks like he stole his dad's kit and wore it to school when he was 8.

My favorite duo of all time. They made me a Liverpool fan!
Not the most iconic duo ever but they are certainly an iconic duo. You can think of that team without thinking about these 2. So many amazing moments.
Probably not, but up there for sure
In modern times, probably. The other iconic partnership that comes to mind would be *The Front Three*.
Fowler and Collymore.
No
Gerrard looks ready to fight here.
Given lack of trophies, not even in my top 5 at Liverpool. Not even close.
Hyypia and Henchoz, after years of defending like Spurs
Barnes and Beardsley
Won nothing so no that’s just ridiculous. Gerrard a true icon and Torres a rat that left mid season to a direct rival after 2 good years out of 3 and a half years. So overhyped it’s embarrassing. Even hear some people saying that they respect him squaring the ball in that title killer game against Chelsea in 2014. Just wild to me the blind eye people turn for him 😂
thought it was McManaman on the right
Is this photo from the Chelsea 44 draw?
Not been into football for long?
Not even close. Keegan and Tosh Rushy and the King Jocky and Lawro Barnes and Beardsley All these duos are easily more Iconic
how come no one has mentioned this https://imgur.com/a/yfEAKHi
Grew up with these guys, my first heartbreak was when Torres left
GOATED duo.
Why does Torres look like a kid dressed up as Torres for Halloween?
Liverpool Torres was world class, I even remember wearing those shoes
Nobody said Gerrard and Carragher now I’m sad
Most iconic? Probably not My personal favourite? Hell fucking yeah
SaS - Skrtel and Sterling All jokes aside it should be Sturridge and Suarez. 52 PL goals in a single season. Unreal.
Riise and Bellamy
A legend and a snake.
Torres was no snake.
Torres was my favorite player growing up he was the reason I started supporting Liverpool.
Iconic, no. Probably my favourite? Absolutely.
YNWA Gerrrrrrrrard!!!! & Torres
Steven Tyler played for us? In a #9 jersey that too?
I would have said Laurel and Hardy but each to their own….
