Coming into the weekend opinions of the 24-year-old were hardly glowing. His tendency to go down easily after a challenge had meant that Craven Cottage turned into a cauldron of hate last Monday, with chants of “cheat” ringing out at every opportunity and understandably angering the striker, although sticking your middle finger up isn’t the best response.
A lack of goals had also caused the loss of support. After playing the star role in Liverpool’s rise up the league last season he started this campaign brightly but hadn’t scored a goal for the club since October 1, despite scoring five in two games for his country. It had coincided with the club’s winless home run and with all the negativity surrounding Suarez, he has been the easy target for blame.
Saturday’s performance was him back to his best. He was untouchable and the difference between the sides. Other than Robin van Persie, he is the best striker in the Premier League and is the vital component in his sides success due to the absence of Steven Gerrard.
He is aggressive, he gets about the opposition and his desire to win at all costs does not endear him to opposition fans but it does make him a dangerous player. He will continue to make headlines for negative things but so long as he keeps scoring goals, who will really care?

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.
I guess your father is J W Henry because i dont know how you find out no money will be spend in jan or next summer.Also you said a big clear out?You are a total joke i thought that was already done dulop head..
