Incredible you're suggesting he could play a false 9 role when he has no record of that, but that he can't play as a left sided forward which is something he has done throughout his entire career - a both club and international level.
This post really isn't making sense to me Crappy, particularly the creativity stuff. A lot of what you have written is just really 'general' statements that aren't explaining anything. I'm going to make a few points then you can respond and say where you disagree specifically,
1 - Firstly I know that Suarez has never played this exact role - the point of mentioning that Suarez often plays from the left wasn't to say "look, he is playing this exact same system for Liverpool". It was simply to point out that he is comfortable operating from an inside left position - which he absolutely is.
So I know he has never played to the left with a false 9, but he has played there in other set ups and the left is a natural area of the pitch for him. That is what I was getting across - it isn't like sticking Van Persie there, or even Aguero. Unlike those two the left is a perfectly natural position for Suarez to take up and he moves there all the time when he plays centrally, and often will just start there fullstop.
Would his effectiveness there change with a false 9? Maybe this is where you disagree, but IMO it absolutely wouldn't and if anything a false 9 would suit Suarez on the left more than if there was a real number 9 in the centre. With Totti dropping off the impact Suarez has centrally rises, his role is much less about being on the left and more about getting into the middle. If he had Van Persie where Totti was then that wouldn't be the case - RVP is playing in the areas where Suarez would be running into.
2 - Suarez is not being asked to be creative - you've just made that up. Is Stoichkov being asked to be creative on the right? Nope. If we had managed to get Thierry Henry would he be asked to be creative? Nope. It's the exact same. The role is quite simply to operate as a forward from the left who cuts inside to score goals, so not a winger like Giggs or a playmaking winger like Silva, but a goalscoring inside forward like Ronaldo for Madrid right now... Or you know, like Suarez who has done this before.
3 - The 'role of Totti' - I don't really get the creativity point anyway and he absolutely would never play the role Totti is here.. Suarez is a creative player in the sense that he creates opportunities just by being a nuisance and running at defenders - he makes things happen when he's on the ball, the majority due to his directness, pace and dribbling. He isn't at all creative the way that Totti is, with passes, flicks and through balls.
For Suarez his ability to create chances hasn't changed here at all, its a normal role for him. Even in the games where Rodgers plays Suarez centrally he'll constantly come out to the flanks and attack directly in possession, that is what is creative about him.
4 - Sturridge creates space for him - Yeah he does at times I guess.. most number 9's who make that run in behind will create space for their team mates. I don't understand the relevance here though? He has all the space in the left side of the pitch.. Plus when Totti drops deep he is creating more space for Suarez centrally than Sturridge has ever done. He is literally opening up that entire area behind the defence for Suarez to attack.
IMO it seems clear that if you can get this system to work then the inside forward will score more goals with a false 9 than with a typical number 9 like Sturridge playing there. Totti vacates the space, opens up the centre for Suarez to drive into, picks him out with a through ball. The whole idea of the tactic was to create space, its why we wanted a goalscorer there like Stoichkov, Henry or Cristiano.

), and also TITO-Theon who were really 'brave' by staying true with theirs 'unconventional' formation to the final whistle. Bravo to all of you. And another excellent job by AldoR.
