In the car going to the match today radio city were debating the above and John Aldridge thought there was a pretty good case and they were comparing him with dalglish and some were saying he was better than dalglish.
I am currently thinking that one over slightly difficult as they had different strengths Kenny could read the game better but Suarez is better technically in my opinion but I am still mulling over.
Also on MOD on Wednesday robbie fowler said (jokingly but in half truth) that he dislikes Suarez as he makes the great strikers of the past look average.
It's a debating point but you can certainty put a very good case to say Suarez is the greatest ever Liverpool striker
Thoughts ?

One for the old boys this I think. The only real strikers I can compare him to are Owen and Torres and he's better than them if memory serves.

The only two for me are dalglish and fowler
He is better than fowler in my opinion fowler was a better finisher but Suarez can do things fowler couldn't. Suarez is a cross between fowler and Barnes and I can pay no better compliment than that.
Difficult comparing him to dalglsh but here the margin is very narrow and made harder because their attributes were different e.g dalglish was more a playmaker and needed an out an out striker with him but he was still some player

It's difficult to compare footballers from different eras. A better way, I think, is to see how each compares to the greatest in their respective eras. How did Dalglish compare with Zico, Mradona, Rumminnigge? How does Suarez compare with Messi and Ronaldo? This is the yardstick imo.

Using that criterion I would say he is in the same bracket as messi and Ronald's albeit just behind them but in the top three in the world. How often could we say that ? Was dalglsh or fowler in the worlds top three ? Not really

If he carries on like this until the end of the season, helping us into a CL spot, I think the decision will be finalised in his favour.
Hope he goes on then to win the WC.

YES! he is.
