Luis Suarez’s was in the headlines for all the right reasons this weekend thanks to his winning goal against QPR. After being charged for allegedly making racist remarks to Manchester United defender Patrice Evra, the Uruguayan was making headlines again for a hand gesture directed at Fulham fans last Monday.

He had replaced Mario Balotelli as public enemy number one for his actions and having received another FA charge for that incident, ending Liverpool’s winless run at Anfield was the perfect way to respond to the negative press surrounding him. In one performance he was able to show why they had bought him and why he had been a revelation since arriving on Merseyside.

The strength and balance he showed to run at opposition defenders was frightening and he played in a number of good crosses, including a stunning low ball across the box between the defence and Radek Cerny, that were wasted by his team-mates.

He also put in a great shift doing the dirty work around the pitch. Suarez is well-known for his feisty temperament and he was able to channel it superbly, chasing down the opposition and battling for possession against defenders that have a far more imposing stature than him.

It was fitting that he was the man to break the deadlock, scoring a rare headed goal to show that he is an all round great player, receiving the praise of Kenny Dalglish and Neil Warnock as a result, who said “he looked amazing today… oh to manage him”.

    Just watched all of Torres goals for liverpool…jeez he was awesome…we need a striker in that mould, one who has pace to burn. Suarez will start banging them in once gerrard comes back…we need that incisive passing in the side. Would take torres back in a heartbeat but also david villa would be awesome…not for 38million tho…swap for andy carrol haha.

    Dalglish cannot be trusted in the transfer market and im sure the owners dont trust him either.No money is available for transfers in January or indeed next summer unless there is a very big clear-out.The owners will want a return on their hugh investment in the transfer market so far.The sale of Torres is now turning out to be very expensive not the great business the spin doctors have made it out to be.
