KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The Luis Suarez Appreciation thread

That was inevitable though.

Suarez reminds me of Garcia in some ways, unpredictable and creative. However Suarez seems to choose the right option nearly everytime. from short pass to dribble. This was what lil Luis failed at and many found frustrating. If we can settle the team down with fewer changes a better pattern of play then more possession will occur. With injuries nearly every game ecently we have not always been great on the eye and a little bit flat at times.
Finally Suarez has brought the best out of Kuyt, they link incredibly well.

Meireles scored 5 in 6 and everyone was gushing at his amazing talent. Kuyt has scored 5 in 5 and no one seems to notice. [Yes, yes, different quality of goal, but the point remains]

yea but he had great hair.

I love Dirk

no it doesn't kuyt is sh!t we have known this for ages whereas meireles was playing brilliant football as well as scoring a few goals, kuyt is the most talentless footballer i have ever seen no touch, no vision, nothing cant wait for him to retire

At least Kuyt has recently proven he can score from inside 3 yards, and is fantastic from the penalty spot (I don't think I can recall him missing ever).

Getting back onto Luis Suarez though, this says it all really:
Played: 5, LFC Man of the match: 4.

Quality player- the last time I saw a similar player in a Liverpool shirt was John Barnes or Peter Beardsley. A bargain at the price we paid for him.

i would say he is a better player than torres but not necessarily a better goal scorer, most people's judgement that suarez is 'better' than torres comes from the belief that suarez won't have about 40 stinking games like torres did when he decided about a year ago he didnt want to play for lfc. Its right to say that its early days and we cant judge suarez but he seems more consistent and doesnt drift out of games like torres did. The other thing is torres is hard to play with , he has to be up there on his own look at the lengths ancelotti went to in order to accomodate him, torres worked for us because he had no one else, suarez is more of a team player and thats just what we need after the post benitez years where we must have had the most brattiest players in the league (apart from chelsea or city)

early days but:
More consistent you know he is on the pitch all the time
More involved in the game (true doesnt mean he's a better striker but when he does touch the ball something happens)
Less of a wànker
Therefor for me after 5 games he's better than torres even if he doesnt match torres phenomenal scoring rate
