Luis Suárez

[Arn]

They've only just spoken to him? it happened nearly 3 weeks ago FFS

Man U had some difficult games. IF they ban Evra then they will ban him when they have a few easier games.

[RedReet]

No one will get banned.

Man U had some difficult games. IF they ban Evra then they will ban him when they have a few easier games.

Even mentioning the possibility of Evra getting banned is too silly for words. The only possible outcomes are:

a. Suarez gets banned
or
b. Nobody gets banned

[Craig_H]

it's probably along the lines of "Luis we can't find a shread of evidence you said anything to Evra but Sir Alex thinks you did so please own up to it and admit you're a horrible foreign racist person" Thanks the FA

[BringbackBiscan]

Evra won't be banned and Luis won't be found innocent either as such. It'll be along the lines of cleared of racial abuse on the grounds of no evidence.

Luis Suárez says there is more to come from both him and Liverpool



Luis Suárez has said that there is greater improvement to come from both him and the rest of the Liverpool team.

The Uruguay striker has been the stand-out performer since he was signed in January just a few weeks after Kenny Dalglish returned for a second spell in charge at the club. Suárez is the club's leading scorer this season with seven goals in 14 matches, with his overall record 11 in 27 since his £22.8m move from Ajax.

That tally could easily have been more as in his last two home matches the 24-year-old had shots brilliantly saved by Norwich's John Ruddy and Swansea's Michel Vorm which might have been match-winners. The fact neither were has meant Liverpool have now had three successive draws at Anfield and taken 10 points from six home league matches.

"As a striker I am always going to get plenty of chances and I could probably have converted one or two more," he said. "I also know strikers go through periods where they are trying so hard to score and they don't always go in. The main thing is I am playing well and the whole team is playing in the right manner.

"I think all of the lads are playing well and although we know we have some injuries to key players like Stevie [Gerrard] and Carra [Jamie Carragher], we know we have players who can step up and perform well. That's the good thing about having such a big squad – we have the quality for anyone to come in, do a good job and replace these players. But we still know we can do that little bit better."

Suárez was named Liverpool's star player for October but after winning the award for three successive months he admits even he finds it a bit awkward accepting it. "It's a bit of a surprise because to win it three months running makes me almost feel a bit embarrassed," he told liverpoolfc.tv.

"But as long as people realise I'm just doing my job and I'm working hard for the team then that's great. I think if we had managed to pick up a couple more victories in those games we deserved to – the home games against Manchester United and Norwich – we'd obviously be a little bit higher up the league."

[Neil Young]

Shut up and score, you b*st*rd.

[Baracus]

Shut up and score, you b*st*rd.

Worse than Arshavin

[McDermotX]

Sell him

[Fernandinho]

I dont understand how these interviews work? Suarez' english isn't that good so are they simply just paraphrasing a translation from spanish?

Luis Suarez was the man expected to need time to settle when he and Andy Carroll arrived at Liverpool in a £57.8million double swoop in January.

Yet he hit the ground running, while Carroll is still struggling to find his feet.

Suarez’s dazzling form for Liverpool is in total contrast to Carroll’s woes and the England striker has found himself in and out of the team as he struggles with injuries and inconsistency.

While some Kopites mutter under their breath about the wisdom of spending £35m on Carroll, Suarez still believes he can come good.

He says the big Geordie has been unlucky and insists they can still make their partnership work for Liverpool.

“Playing alongside a player of Andy’s quality, who’s big, skilful, who brings the ball down so well, makes it easy for a striker to play with him,” said the Uruguayan.

“What happened though, was that Andy had the bad luck to be injured for several games and when he came back from that, he picked up another injury. It was difficult for him to get himself into the team because just when Andy came back, the team was playing well and the manager didn’t know who he could drop.

“Now having trained and after a good pre-season for Andy with his team-mates, the more training sessions we have together, he will be better.

“We’ll get a much better understanding of each other and that can only be good for the team.”

Suarez, 24, instantly replaced Fernando Torres as the fans’ Kop idol and his four league goals and two assists do not come close to illustrating how important he is to Liverpool.

He is so happy he says he wants to remain at Liverpool beyond the five-year deal he signed when he arrived in his £22.8million switch from Ajax after previously admitting a wish to play for Barcelona.

“I’ve just started a phase of my career which I always dreamed about and wanted to do, which is to play for Liverpool,” he said.

“I have five years left on my contract and I think beyond that, I’m already thinking about staying many more years at Liverpool.

“It’s a club I like. I feel very good about being here, about being in the city.

“I feel very pleased. It would be difficult to match the atmosphere, hunger for success and glory that this club has at another team.”

Suarez’s pledge is a massive vote of confidence in Kenny Dalglish and the South American wants to repay the Liverpool boss’s faith in him.

He says he can barely understand Dalglish’s Glaswegian accent with his limited English, but has picked up enough to understand how highly he rates the new custodian of his famous No.7 shirt.

“The truth is there’s not much conversation with Kenny because of the language barrier, which makes it hard for me,” Suarez added.

“But he is the one who has given me confidence. He was the one who had confidence in me. He was the one who said ‘I want Suarez’. That sort of belief is something you repay when you play.

“When a coach gives you confidence, you can give your very best back.

“If you don’t have faith in your manager, it’s very difficult to play well and I think Kenny has a lot of confidence in me.”

Suarez shares Liverpool’s hunger for the Premier League and says it is his “little dream” to win the title.

He accepts that isn’t going to happen this season and feels a more realistic target is a top-four spot and a Champions League place.

The former Ajax star is desperate to play in Europe’s elite club competition and says not playing in the Europa League this season can help Liverpool achieve that goal.

“I do not wish to belittle the Europa League and I do think that Liverpool should be in Europe,” said Suarez, whose nickname is El Pistolero – the Gunslinger.

“But I think not playing in the Europa League this year will really do us some good.

“We can really focus on the Premier League and move up the table as high as we can.

“We always dream about being Premier League champions, but we know it’s a very difficult league to win.

“It’s very competitive and a lot of teams want to become champions.

“But I think we have a quality squad. We trust in our manager and we trust our team-mates.

“We’re confident in our ability and Liverpool can aim to finish in the Champions League positions.

“And there is always that dream, that little dream, about actually winning the Premier League.”

I hope Comolli has a 10 year contract ready and waiting.

I wish players didn't say things like that.

[Craig_H]

Forget the emotional aspect of it, but the business side of it should be taken advantage of. New contract, for as many years as it allowed.
