Luis Suarez:Liverpool's No 7

In January 2011, the Liverpool faithful have gone from the prospect of a Torres/Suarez combination to possibly of not having either .Eventually they had to bear the reality of losing their Spanish star but gaining a talented and young striker from Ajax in return.They paid 22.8 million pounds to land Suarez from Ajax.Suarez’s debut came as a substitute in a 2-0 victory over Stoke on February 2 and it took him just 16 minutes to fire his first goal at the Kop end.A month later he drifted past 3 Manchester United defenders to eventually set up a Dirk Kuyt goal.At this time Kopites have already endeared him and he is well on his way to becoming an Anfield idol.

It’s quit surprising how he managed to adapt to the English game so quickly.He was Liverpool’s best player during their partial season,not to forget that it was his first season in England.He helped them to finished 6th as they were in 12th place in the league when he made his debut.He scored 4 goals and had few assists in 12 appearances for The Reds.He certainly helped to ease the pain of Fernando Torres departure to Chelsea in the heart of Kopites.

The Uruguay international has a reputation for being one of the deadliest striker in Europe and is among a selected few to have scored more than a century of goals during his time at the Ajax.After an explosive start to life in English football, Suarez helped Uruguay to win a record 15th Copa America title in July 2011.He scored the opener in the final against Paraguay to take his tally for the competition to four. Unsurprisingly, he was voted player of the tournament.

Suarez started his full season with Liverpool in 2011 against Sunderland,Although he missed a penalty,he scored the opening goal in the match.Suarez continued his scintillating form by coming on as a substitute against Arsenal and he involved heavily in the first goal and scored the second.How happy were Liverpool fans to mark their first win in 11 years at Emirates.His commitment to Liverpool for sure puts a smile in Kenny Dalglish’s face every time he steps into the pitch.

There’s only thing Suarez needs to do to improve his performance on the pitch is,he has to stop going down to easily after some challenge.But branding him as a diver is not appropriate,because he is being fouled all the time by defenders who can’t cope with his silky movement and skills.Last night,Suarez proved doubters of his finishing skills by scoring 4 past for Uruguay against Chile.As all Liverpool fans would say,”He just can’t get enough”. He’s young,talented,and best of all,he has the commitment.

The Reds are already starting to improve,and they should really thank this guy for helping that to happen.His brilliance might just be an inspiration to the whole team.He has only one task left to do now,and that is to forge a partnership with Andy Carroll who’s totally opposite the opposite of Suarez.Once they have the understanding between them,I expect them to be halting decline and pushing their way into the top four.
