Luis Suárez

[Gibbo]

Might have been rusty but a very large amount of the decent play we had came through him. Touch was a little heavy and it is a footballing cliche but he was almost a yard off the pace.

We will soon see him back to his best.

[I, Ravel Morrison]

The rat-faced bastwerd! Was somewhat strange seeing him playing for us in a competitive game.

I missed the match but judging by that video we should have scored a hat load against them. They look utterly ****.

Oh well, a match fit Suarez, Johnson, Coutinho and Sturridge will be a wonderful site to behold!

[Slinky Skills]

Suarez was unfit and was probably still out best player.

Tell's you all you need to know really.

[Kenneth]

Yep, that you're wrong again.

[RedSince1964]

Yep, that you're wrong again.

[Lee]

Yep, that you're wrong again.

Glad he's got that first game out of the way now.

Hopefully he can kick start his season on Sunday.

Yep, that you're wrong again.

Suarez actions 'damaged' Liverpool image - Ayre

Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre has admitted the actions of Luis Suarez have "damaged" the club's brand.

Suarez returned to competitive action for Liverpool in Wednesday's League Cup loss against Manchester United at Old Trafford, following the completion of his ten-match ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic during a Premier League match in April.

In 2011, Suarez was handed an eight-match ban after being found guilty of racially abusing United defender Patrice Evra.

The striker expressed a desire to leave Anfield during a turbulent summer of transfer talk, but Liverpool blocked any notion of a move and also rejected bids from Arsenal.

Ayre insisted Suarez has worked hard on improving his character, but maintained the Uruguayan's behaviour has had a negative effect on the club's image.

During a talk at the Sports Industry breakfast in London, Ayre said: "Any types of incident of that nature are damaging to the brand".

However, Ayre insisted Suarez is a vital part of the team and described the player as a "street fighter".

Following an impressive performance on his return, Suarez insisted he will stay committed and "try his best" for as long as he remains at the club.

Liverpool's Ian Ayre: 'We'll hold talks with Luis Suarez over new contract'

Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre has revealed that the club will hold talks with striker Luis Suarez over signing a new deal at Anfield in the near future.

The 26-year-old tried to orchestrate a move away from Merseyside during the summer window citing a desire to play in the Champions League, but an exit was blocked by the Reds.

Despite his desire to leave, Ayre has insisted that Suarez is an "important part" of the Premier League outfit's future, and had no doubts that the controversial Uruguayan would stay put.

"We genuinely always wanted Luis to be here this season," Ayre told Sky Sports News. "We wanted him to continue to be here, continue to contribute because he's such a brilliant player. We're not a selling club. We're here to win and move forward and we see Luis as an important part of that."

"At the appropriate time we will have [contract] talks with Luis and his advisers. I'm absolutely certain in the summer or approaching the next summer, we'll have a conversation with Luis."

Ayre also insisted that he has no ill feeling towards Arsenal following their summer bid of £40,000,001 for Suarez, who returned to action after a 10-match ban in last night's 1-0 defeat to Manchester United in the third round of the Capital One Cup

And what are your thoughts on Ayre's interview here Arn?

I don't a have a clue what our sponsors think about it or possible sponsors.

When it comes down to the fans I don't think his actions damaged the image of the club at all. I think it only damaged the image of the player.
