He is a player who regulalrly divideds opinion, with many football fans still fixated on the striker being a racist and an all round cheat. This abuse wasn't helped recently when Luis admitted to diving in an attempt to claim a penalty at home to Stoke City, much to the dismay of Brendan Rodgers and Tony Pulis. Another incident which angered football fans was his aparent handball against Mansfield Town in the FA Cup. Many people were disgusted by this as it highlighted his need to cheat in a game against a team with little prestige. However, referee Andre Marriner and his officials saw nothing wrong with the goal and later stated that it was 'a case of ball to hand'. In my opinion, this was the correct decision.
But even with Suarez's fabulous displays in a red's shirt, he still isn't regarded as the best striker in the Premier League. This accolade goes to Manchester United's prolific Dutchman Robin van Persie, who has bagged 18 league goals in his first season at Old Trafford after his summer switch from rivals Arsenal. However, at the age of just 25 and after signing a new long term contract for Liverpool in August 2012, Red's fans have a lot more to look forward to from th Uruguayan. Daniel Sturridge, Liverpool's January signing from Chelsea, already looks to have settled in after scoring 3 goals in his first 3 games, and he will be hoping to strike up a deadly partnership with Suarez which will have premier league defences terrified. If Liverpool can put together a string of consistant performances, look out for them climbing the table, and Suarez climbing the goal scoring charts. Dan Youde
