Same Sterling that earned a himself £50m transfer the season after he left and Sturridge who still retains the best goals per minute record in Premier League history?
True. But as someone said history forgets a great players rough patches. Not many people will remember Henry's cnutishness simply because that was over a decade ago. But Suarez is still playing and so we can see him every week and analyze and dissect his performance
Absolute nonsense. Henry is the most complete forward to play the game alongside Ronaldo.
What kind of argument is that? Is Suarez to blame for Liverpool not winning a single trophy during his three and a half years there?
Exactly. That argument also ignores how long Suarez was in the Premiership - there's no reason to ignore the rest of his time in the league.
Drogba scored 29 goals in 31 starts with no penalties in 2010 while scoring crucial goals against United, Liverpool & Arsenal in the title run in.
Because he "carried them" apparently despite Sterling easily being Liverpool's best player in the run in while Suarez went missing against Man City & Chelsea B.
I respect the view that Suarez is better, but there's no chance he's better and "it's not even close".
Going by that logic, Bale and Suarez are better than Ronaldo and Messi.
).Great statistic. People keep bringing up this point about Liverpool being trash but they were an excellent side that year, especially in attack, as evidenced by this particular stat.
Van Basten, Müller, Puskas, Romario are easily better than anyone bar Ronaldo, who you mentioned.
Yes, it was. They were cracking in attack that season. Suarez didn't magically make Sturridge fit, make Sterling turn into ( at the time) possibly the teenager around, give Henderson the ability to play delightful creative passes or make Liverpool press teams into submission. Everything came together that session. Whatever the names people find average, the team itself was brilliant offensively. Suarez played a huge part in it but so did a lot of other things coming together at the time, one of it being what Rodgers got out of everyone and his tactics. Obviously not possible without Suarez, but he didn't exactly lift mediocrity to absurd heights like some think.
I think you missed the part when I said "past 20 years". Clearly if we go as far back as Müller there are plenty more names to be considered. Since the mid '90s however, I think you are being unfair on Suarez when you imply that it's easy at Barcelona. How many top forwards we have seen go there and struggle to adapt and dominate the way he did? Last season, he was the best player in a team that included Iniesta, Messi and Neymar in it. As for his PL exploits, I agree that the PL is not as tough tactically as the Italian game but that's not the only criteria to judge him on. The fact remains that he carried an average side to within a game of the title. I don't think Sheva ever reached the same heights as Suarez in 2014 or in 2016.
