ACCORDING to Liverpool’s official website, Reds defender Martin Skrtel believes the devastating effect the partnership of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge caused Sunderland on Sunday is only a mere sign of what is to come from the duo.
Sturridge provided both assists for Luis Suarez to mark the Uruguayan’s return to the Premiership, as well as notching himself yet another goal this season as Brendan Rodgers’ men ran rampant over a Sunderland side who are still yet to win a game this season, winning 3-1 at the Stadium of Light.
Skrtel was in the team for the victory, and is fully confident that the duo of Suarez and Sturridge will continue to improve, going from strength to strength and develop an unstoppable working relationship.
Speaking to the club website, Skrtel said of the pair:
“I am happy with the result. We played really well and we deserved this result.
“I am also happy for Luis because he needs his goals. I think everyone could see how good those two [Sturridge and Suarez] were and I think they can form a great partnership. We will see what that brings.”
Sturridge and Suarez have already amassed an impressive 7 goals in Liverpool’s opening games, and that is only after Suarez’s first game back.

“as Brendan Rodgers’ men ran rampant over a Sunderland side ” …..did you even see the game? Sunderland were by far the more determined side but yes, we made the most of our chances.
Totally agree with you! We should of played them off the park but we didn’t!
The most important thing is that Liverpool won the game and got 3 points. Almost everyone played well except for the midfield.
People saying Liverpool are better without Suarez are just wrong.
Let’s not get carried away cos our midfield was utter rubbish another team with saints or swans midfield will play us out of park.Br u have not convinced me cos even ordinary sunderland of all people played us out of the park.
