I didn't say he was bad. I'm saying I think he could play well at RW, and he wastes chances. He also scores great goals. But he is not a poacher like Torres was or RVP is. He is just as classy, but he has a different skill set.

The man hasn't put a foot wrong so far.
Which can't be said for a lot of our previous "managers" in recent times. I've always managed to disagree with them on something, but Rodgers is a different kettle of fish.
It's very Shankly-esk, he's gonna FIGHT for us.
"I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Fergie is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Bill Shankly. I'm Bob Paisley. There's never been anyone like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want to eat your heart Fergie! I want to eat your children Mancini!" - Brendan Rodgers When did he say that?

Suarez was at his best for Ajax when playing on the left hand side of a front 3, I fully expect to see him doing this for us next year...
Part of our problems last year were down to playing him up front on his own which doesn't and will never work.

Exactly. Unless I'm mistaken, he plays a similar role for Uraguay, right?

Yes, Suarez on the left, Forlan through the middle and Cavani on the right. They can all switch positions too... Thats why it works so well for them!

He wants players who don't believe in his "vision" to leave. Trust me, as much as I love LFC, I wouldn't waste my career playing for him. as much as you love koptalk i wish you wouldnt waste your time in this place

And he scores more goals that way. The end of the season before last when we first brought him in we had a similar set up with him, Maxi, and Kuyt. I think he performed a lot better.

It'll be 4-3-3 and if Carroll is in his plans, it will mean Suarez plays the old fashioned inside left. Turning and cutting in from the left onto his right. Personally, I think he will score more playing in from the left, rather than battling down the middle for 90 minutes and getting found out.
Sterling should be over on the right. But IMO Rodgers is looking at a forward, which could mean Suarez down the middle, or the new player out on the wing/inside right or left position. I have a feeling Carroll might not fit into his philosophy as such, and Rodgers will be looking at a smaller, quicker and more mobile "do it all" forward. Soldado and/or Muniain and/or Ramirez.
But I don't think you'll see players glued to one position either, especially the forwards, they will swap and interchange throughout a game and for players to do that, they have to fit into the philosophy.
Barca and Spain don't play with out and out strikers. You could see us doing something similar.
