#1 Luis Suarez

What a ridiculously talented player.
What a ridiculously talented player.

While Liverpool's current crop of players has achieved some ridiculous feats in the past year or so, there is one player whose talent has remained as untouchable as ever. Luis Suarez was just a different beast at Liverpool, being a talisman-and-a-half for the Reds.

He joined the club in January 2011 for £22.8 million at the same time when Liverpool paid a then-record £35 million for Andy Carroll. Suarez immediately ran the show for the Reds and lifted them to a respectable top-six finish, after the calamitous start that Reds had to endure with Roy Hodgson in charge.

The following season was barraged by the racism incident involving Patrice Evra, which saw Suarez get banned for eight games. He still managed 16 goals that season, helping them reach both domestic finals.

However, the Uruguayan found his stride under Brendan Rodgers and began to bang in the goals for Liverpool. If it wasn't for his ridiculous biting incident in April 2013, Suarez would have likely ended the 2012-13 season with the Golden Boot despite Liverpool finishing in seventh place.

The following season was the one that cements Suarez as the greatest player to play for the Reds in this decade. Despite missing the first five games, the current Barcelona hitman scored a record-equalling 31 goals in the Premier League and played some breathtaking football.

For real, Suarez was outstanding throughout the entire season. His passion and desire on the pitch were unmatched, while some of the things he did were outrageous. Suarez single-handedly dragged a decent Liverpool team into a legitimate title challenge and within inches of lifting the elusive crown.

He was and still is, one of the most polarizing players in the world. However, nobody could dispute how phenomenal he was for the Reds during the 2013-14 season.

Suarez's time at Liverpool may be controversial, but he always showed brilliance on the football pitch. Some of the goals he scored have been unbelievable. Just ask Norwich City about them.
